"Between September 8–14 Villas Tacos in LA will offer chorizo and potato taquitos paired with a watermelon agua fresca finished with a chamoy and Tajín rim." - Eater Staff
"A taqueria in Highland Park offering fish and shrimp tacos using wild-caught Mexican shrimp, mahi-mahi, octopus, and A5 Japanese wagyu." - Matthew Kang
"This strip mall Highland Park taquería takes a more-is-more approach with its fully loaded tacos. Each one comes on a Dodger-blue corn tortilla layered with crispy griddled cheese, diced onions, cilantro, crema, cotija, guacamole, and a mesquite-grilled protein of your choice. (Oh, and the option to add seven different salsas and hibiscus-pickled onions, too.) If this sounds like a messy mountain to you, you're not incorrect. But it's a mess worth making. Order the Villa's Trio, a cheesy, three-taco sampler that includes grilled asada, chorizo with potato, and chicken with black beans." - brant cox, sylvio martins, andrew ryce, cathy park
"Victor Villa posted urging followers to send an address where he could provide food; he ultimately took his team to serve first responders and firefighters at multiple relief locations, including the stadium gathering and in Altadena." - Bill Esparza
"Villa's Tacos makes what might be the most over-the-top tacos in Los Angeles. (And given the guide you're reading, some of the best, too.) Their questions come on Dodger-blue corn tortillas crusted with griddled cheese, which serve as cradles for the onions, cilantro, crema, cotija, guacamole, and mesquite-grilled meats piled on top. If this sounds like a messy taco, you're not wrong. But it's a mess worth making. Order the Villa's Trio sampler that includes grilled asada, a spicy chorizo-potato hash, and smoky chicken with black beans—either at their original location in Highland Park, or Grand Central Market.
