Taqueros are chefs, too.
In the foothills of El Sereno, behind a black iron fence anchored in brick, a black EZ-UP canopy stands propped in front of a home, with two tables set up long ways and plastic party stools painted black. The scene is set for a dozen guests, who will come together for one-of-a-kind L.A. dining experience on a Saturday evening.
There’s no menu or hint of what to expect. Just two Evil Cooks, Elvia Huerta and Alex Garcia, love birds full of creativity and a passion for wild new ideas. This is the taqueros' version of an omakase experience, or as I'm naming it for them: "The Kamikaze."
Week after week, Evil Cooks conducts one of L.A.'s most successful home-based pop-up cooking experiences, as well as a pop-up at Smorgasburg every Sunday. On random months, Elvia and Alex also set-out to flex their aprons, break the routine, and simultaneously play with their food and our palates.
