Tacos Champions of L.A. | Todos Los Tacos 

Tacos have become the modern day lobster. They used to be an affordable bite for the poor working class and now that they're mainstream, they've been gentrified to the point that tacos can be worth as much as $6. I'm glad my culture is getting this kind of recognition, but paying $4-$6 for a taco is wack.

At least the people making these tacos are still coming from the heart and love for their culture. They deserve success.

I think there is space for the $2 street taco and the $8 Michelin-recognized taco in the culinary landscape. They can be mutually inclusive.

@@bryanflo4500 I agree, but inflation is also driving prices up.

@@j.armand1363 yes and no, inflation is causing the prices to come up, not the fact that they are mainstream. Tacos have always been mainstream, mexican food is just getting more recognized as a culinary art. I live in SoCal, i can find $1.50 or $2.00 tacos anywhere... but i will spend $6 on a bomb taco with prime meats or seafood if i want to treat myself. They both have their place in the world.

Heck yea! i remember i visited when i saw them on netflix Taco Chronicles. amazing to see how much he has grown

Qro 🤘🏽

they mainly are a staple in Mexican households, dating back to Nahua/Aztec civilizations of our Indigenous ancestors. we eat tacos every day, moreso tortillas. not just an "LA scene" thing. it is one of the main essence of our meals morning, lunch and dinner.

Oh brother

That’s some Silverlake shit to say

Only problem is his tacos are overpriced

@@bear2507 Have you seen his company's P&L? Highly unlikely, so you probably have no idea what you're actually talking about. Why does Mexican food HAVE to be cheap? If they're producing and performing at Michelin standards, then they have EVERY right to charge, and therefore pay their staff, accordingly. Even the "lowest" tier hole in the wall restaurant operates with razor thin margins, out of necessity, part of that is due to the public at large practically demanding that good quality meals, and the service and labor that provides them, be grown on trees for free. Just because someone owns and operates (which is not the norm) a successful restaurant does NOT by ANY means automatically make them a millionaire that's gouging their customers that they ACTUALLY GIVE A SHIT ABOUT and laughing all the way to the bank while doing it. Quite the opposite, unfortunately. Times are tough for everyone. Please remember to be kind.

​@@bear2507if the tacos are worth I ok with the price

Is the place busy?

​@@dpclerks09.....you "weedie weedie" too much. His 🌮 tacos ARE OVER PRICED. Period.

If those are pretty good, what would u consider the best?

Totally

always got to be that one person hating on someone's success.

many places in mexico use monterrey jack though for quesabirria

@@heliosf2080 What if a told you quesabirria is not a common dish in most mexico.

@@Frank1e.b0i what if i told you that mexican food goes by region and not an entire country

@@heliosf2080 Tell me more, I’m a Mexican who lives in México and have been to many states and tried their food.

@@Frank1e.b0i If you're from Mexico you know that most states are different lol. Mexican food varies from region to region. People won't know about ahi tuna tostadas in chiapas but it is very common in sinaloa or baja california. quesabirria is popular in tijuana

im dead asf

Almost $5 per taco

​@@mix-r9g Yea, pretty nuts
