These are the best tacos you can find on Metro's 18 bus.
The 18 is a workhorse of a bus connecting the working-class barrios of East Los Angeles and Boyle Heights to Downtown, Westlake, and Koreatown. It cruises through historic Whittier Boulevard, in which riders watch the vital thoroughfare metamorphose into Wilshire Boulevard, passing through the shiny new 6th Street bridge, the Arts District, and a blur of neighborhoods stretching through the shadows of the Downtown skyline.
The bus connects unincorporated East L.A. County to the rest of Los Angeles. If you grew up east of the L.A. River, riding the 18 bus line was your way of connecting to the rest of your hometown.
And it's a mainline to several spectacular tacos, including curbside tacos de canasta, famous fish tacos, tacos with pork ribs, insane tlayudas, killer cabeza, and the most taco-y plate of vegan barbacoa pasta an L.A.-based taco publication has ever featured in a guide to tacos that are reachable by public transportation.
