We have been holding on to this one for too long as it is a personal favorite. We just really want to keep it to ourselves, but alas, sharing is caring. Today we bring you the El Taquito truck located in South Pasadena that has a mighty tasty chicarron taco. $1.20 gets you a taco, $1.00 gets you a soda. This taco truck is located in the parking lot of Nishikawa Auto Shop:

Earlier this year, my pal Justin Lin but together a documentary about Los Angeles as part of documenting a year long trip to China. Part of the documentary focused on native Los Angeles food, which of course includes tacos. Justin grabbed me for an evening of all things tacos. So of course, I took him to my favorite spot: Echo Park’s Taco Zone.

In yet another pig-ignorant move in Post-Katrina New Orleans, local politicians have decided to destroy the booming taco-truck business that is feeding the workers (and plenty of the locals) who are rebuilding the city. Blame racism, blame taxes, blame immigration politics: A hundred years ago this line of reasoning would have banned the muffulettas and poor-boys that those invading hordes of Sicilians were using to corrupt our youth.

More Atwater Food Loving and Tacos from the South Bay that aren’t from El Burrito Junior Vince’s Market’s Carnitas Sandwhich: Atwater Village Vince’s Market is located in one of the residential nooks in Atwater Village in between Fletcher and Glendale Boulevard.

Benefit of the Doubt Anthony and I have been itching to cut a taco swath westward and fill out our Flickr Taco Map. And so my pal Kyle, upon hearing of our westward bound taco ambition, tipped us off to a Mid-City Taco stand named El Chato. El Chato, like all greatly positioned taco stands, sits in a car repair shop parking lot from 7pm til 2 am- nightly.

Hidden in plain sight in the Mercado la Paloma, Chichen Itza is located right across the street from the DMV near the USC campus. This place sells Yucatan food and sits toward the back of the market…you’ll first walk past the Oaxacan stand with the interesting looking desserts, vegan ice creams, and fresh juices. After a day of hard studying or after playing games of bingo with your friends or whatever it is you have been doing, you might be feeling peckish.

Last month, I was in San Francisco on business and decided to head down to the Mish for some taco goodness. My friends from the Bay are always talking smack on LA tacos saying the Mish gots the goods. Well, I had to put that notion to the test. So, among my afternoon wandering of the Mission- I stumbled upon El Buen Sabor Taqueria on 18th Street. Now usually, I don’t do resturaunts unless I get a good tip.
