“Es que me sube el colesterol, mi amorcito,” by Fito Olivares—rest in peace—should be the soundtrack to the adventure we are about to take you on, but it’s all in good fun because rarely do we see chicharrón trending online. That’s right, chicharrón, which comes in different shapes and sizes and is usually made out of crispy pork belly or pork skin, is currently the newest trend hitting TikTok. And we at L.A. TACO are about to put you on some of the best chicharrón you can find in Los Angeles. From big chunky pieces that give your lips that porcine glow that no lip gloss could ever achieve, to thinly sliced chicharrón that is as perfect on a tortilla as it is in a guisado. Here are the 12 best locations to find the best chicharrón in town.
