Despite L.A. being the home of the second largest population of Mexicans—that counts Mexican-Americans as well, by the way—after Mexico City, it has never been known to go as hard for actual Mexican Independence Day on September 16th as it does for Cinco de Mayo. But these four places are going all out!

They top it with crumbled chicharrón that they puff up themselves, a habanero salsa, and taquería guacamole.
