Worth the wait! You aren’t really from L.A. if you’ve never had worldwide tacos. This well-known establishment was glamorously featured in Issa Rae’s episode of her tv show Insecure. Notorious for their wait time, you have never seen more options and edge in any taco such as this. From duck to lamb, and even vegan choices prove to be thoroughly available with several types of sauce for each one. This cultural icon is also noticeable from Overdoz.’s project called “2008” released in 2017. If you’re ever in the Crenshaw District, be sure to pull up and get your issue!

+Taco Pete

This taco stand was originally somewhat of a hidden gem, marking its territory right off the freeway on Central Ave. However, with the recent move to Slauson, the expansion of this name has become city-wide. These turkey tacos are worth mentioning from the first bite. They are also available on DoorDash as well for a night at home. Please feel free to explore their classic menu and make new memories sharing with friends and family.

+Leo’s Tacos Truck has a reputation for the most authentic street tacos you can get in LA. There’s nothing like a late-night visit to stand in line for their famous “pork off the spit” tacos. You can literally see the fresh pork roasting right in front of the truck, marinating flavors ready for the taking! The line is always moving fast, but there are always plenty of customers ready to get their hands on a plate. Although they have grown to 9 locations, the most noteworthy location is right off Pico. You can’t miss it!

Tony! Toni! Toné said “It never rains in southern California” but according to The National Weather Service heavy rainfall is coming to California with unusual strong winds, moisture and weather patterns. It’s expected with flash floods and mudslides; specifically in areas that have experienced wildfires. Emergency response teams are on standby, and residents are urged to secure loose objects, avoid travel in areas with potential mudslides and to prepare for power outages.
