The best tacos in LA, it’s my go to lunch spot. I love their watermelon agua frescas, the queso tacos, and the fact it’s in a strip mall and owned by a highland park native.
The legacy of Jonathan Gold lives on at LA Taco. There is no better place to understand Los Angeles than this bastion of independent food journalism helmed by Javier Cabral. Soul bound with city, this is the source code. If you’ve recently moved there, read LA Taco. There is no other alternative. A champion for the city’s street vendors and the food they make - there’s real heart in the writing, real fire. Come for the food guides, stay for the local policy coverage. Love Los Angeles? Buy a membership and support street-level, groundbreaking journalism. Honor the taco.
I always feel a bit false when asked to curate recommendations or think of my favorites.
While it's good to take stock of what was truly enriching, it's also nice to think the things I'm actually doing & consuming day in and day out are worthwhile.
And if they're not worth sharing, maybe there are changes to be made.
I have no frame of reference but LA seems like a place where group fitness particularly thrives. I go to Rodeo Athletic Club. It’s both chill and challenging. Didn’t feel like going yesterday, went, and and was better for it.
