LA’s Favorite Taco of 2010 ~ La Estrella

9:18 AM PDT on April 16, 2010

Congratulations to the fine people of La Estrella, voted by our readers as their favorite taco in the city of Los Angeles. It was an interesting path to the finals for La Estrella, which narrowly defeated Tacos Por Favor to set up the matchup with last year's winner Yuca's. Its high #1 seed turned out to be justified, as La Estrella took home the gold for NE LA. We will be sending a plaque honoring La Estrella soon!

Thank you to everyone who voted and promoted the contest from everyone at TACO. See you at Taco Madness 2011!!!
