    “‘Our tacos are big,’ warns the woman taking the order. ‘This is too much food for one person.’ I hear her repeat the words to almost every customer after me. No one much heeds the advice.” -Bill Addison

  • ✺ Mariscos Jalisco

    Inside tip:
    “Inside tip: opt for his signature fried shrimp taco tinged with spicy salsa and creamy avocado slices. It's an unequaled version, complete with a crunchy shell that collapses like tempura, as well as a rich and savory filling.” -Michelin Guide

  • ✺ Tacos de Canasta El Abuelo

    “These small corn tortillas are stuffed with their hearty fillings before getting bathed in hot oil to create a semi-crispy, semi-soft texture that packs a very satisfying crunch without shattering all over your styrofoam plate.”
    -Infatuation LA

  • ✺ Burritos La Palma

    “Made with handmade Zacatecas-style flour tortillas, the tightly wrapped burritos at Las Palmas in Boyle Heights are small pockets made with perfectly chewy tortillas that hold nothing except tender beef birria dripping in smokey consommé.” -Infatuation LA
