We'd like to send our heartfelt thank yous to all the restaurants and volunteers who are stepping up right now to do something nice or helpful for our city. Right now, you'll find excellent lists of restaurants helping out evacuees and first responders on The L.A. Times and other publications.

We'd like to take a minute to point out the many L.A. taquerias stepping up to show our heartbroken and fire-ravaged communities a little love wrapped in tortillas. You'll see a few familiar names on here, cherished not only for their food, but because they are names that always seem to be lending a helping hand in hard times like these.

If you're not currently evacuated or or suffering the immediate effects of the fire, these are places you should definitely support now or in the future, since they're they're always down for L.A.
