Taco of the Day: Taco de Camarón from Mariscos Jalisco

If you read this site or just generally live in Los Angeles and love life and food and tacos, the fact that Mariscos Jalisco makes fucking delicious tacos isn't news to you. But just look at that beauty. Look at it! If you've never had one for yourself, weep with shame and then get to your car/bike/bus/train and get one now. 3040 E. Olympic Blvd. in Boyle Heights. If you already know how good it is, you've probably already left.
