Omg it's Bill and Lisa this the best surprise. I love their videos but this is my first of Dan V World, but having these two is the perfect first video. Subscribed
Wow! Great tacos! For the record, the taco with the pink onions in the sampler was Conchinita Pibil. It’s a Yucatán based pork taco. My Irish roommate makes those for us. He was enthralled by them on his trips there for diving. We can’t bury the pig in a pit so he uses an I stand Pot to cook the pork. I make the pickled onions and OMG they are crazy good. Enjoying this series! Need more L.A. is never ending for great tacos. Kogi!
@@DanVsWorld yes! It reminds me of a place in downtown adjacent on the east side of the freeway near USC. A little restaurant in a sort of indoor food court called Chichen Itza. The specialize in Conchinita Pibil and Pollo Pibil, the chicken version. They are amazing, first time I had the dish was there. More than just tacos, plates and other dishes too. I haven’t been since lock down, I hope they’re still going. Keep up the great work! Where’s Leia missing her smiling face and critiques.
Do you strategically drop these videos at lunch time... when I'm eating my crappy food and then you're showing off your awesome food? Inquiring minds want to know... Seriously though, ALL of those tacos looked amazing... it would be so hard for me to choose. Great video.
As an Angeleno who is Mexican. No. Respectfully. The highly rated/frequented spots are not always the best or the most authentic. A lot of taco spots in LA are highly rated because they are in a gentrified area. Some of them are good, don't get me wrong, but they are frequented by patrons who don't know good tacos. Said patrons do leave good reviews which gets the buzz up but don't be misled. You have to be selective when reading reviews.
@@zapotec818 El Momo is Over rated! I live a few blocks away, and tbh, there's plenty of better carnitas around. Then again, the taste is to the taster. King Torta in Hillside(between Lincoln Park and El Sereno on Valley Blvd) has much tastier carnitas imo than El Momo. As for street tacos, I like La Guera on Olympic and Orme across from Ramirez Liquor in Boyle Heights. At nearly 57 years old and growing up near the Tijuana border in the 70s & 80s, I pretty much ate at all the(then) great taco places in Tijuana. I'd suggest to viewers, you're going to have to make a trek to every place that grabs your attention and come to your own conclusion. Everyone has their preferences, but if you see a lot of immigrants that don't speak English patronizing the taco vendor, chances are it's legit...
@@05gtdriver King Torta has better carnitas then El Momo. I agree there are other great places other than el Momo but saying King Torta is better just kind of off especially since that place has gone downhill since it started.
Some years ago I remember there was a taco truck that would park in an open parking lot at night near downtown LA and they would bring out a large grill and make carne asada tacos. The best I ever had! Everyone would come out to get their tacos!!
So, I lived in LA for 12 years, moved away for work. But when I visit, tbh, I just get me some King Taco. It's always good, inexpensive, and pretty much better than anything I'll get outside of living in a border city. I know LA has lots of better places but just like In N Out or Zankou, King Taco is one of those spots I have to hit anytime I'm in town.
Great video and you went to some of my fave spots. You should try Flaming taco and Ave 26 tacos, and if you like goat birria there is this amazing spot called birria jalisco that I've been going to since I was a kid and its fire.
OMG everything looks so yummy 😋 I went ahead and fixed me some carnitas tacos after viewing this video. Thank you for taking us along this taco adventure in LA. I am so happy I subscribed to your channel after seeing you with SinCityFamily, continue blessings♥️♥️♥️
Oh how I miss My CaliLife 💯 just a foodie lover from California now living in Las Vegas NV. Yes Grand Central market is the best spot for Mexican and Chinese food 😉
Some good choices, Dan, but next time you're in the Atwater Village area try Tacos Villa Corona at 3185 Glendale Blvd. Anthony Bourdain named it his favorite taco shop in L.A. After seeing it on his show, and since it's only about a 20 minute drive from where I live, I went to check it out. The tacos and burritos are very good.
Anna Maria's sure does loads their tacos but it isn't what it used to be. The citrus they use turns the Asada meat to mush after it sits for a while. Go with the carnitas or desebrada tacos or gorditas!
The best tacos are in South Central ! Believe it or not! In every corner you'll be find a taco stand and cheaper! Couse there is competition to be the best tacos! Avalon & Slauson Los Poblanos!
if you went to grand central market you should have tried carnitas la michoacana. it is hands down the best taco spot in that shopping center. lol really messed that one up :(
Guisados is bomb. Ana Maria not the best for tacos as the tortilla is not what it use to be. Ana Maria gorditas and burritos are good. I need to try Leo’s as they looked good.
