Risk and Nathan Ota ~ Our Favorite Taco

11:11 AM PST on February 25, 2014

RISK and Nathan Ota have an impressive collaborative show up now at Corey Helford Gallery in Culver City. The show is up until March 8th, so you still have time to stop in and see the new work. In the meantime, please enjoy this preview, but not before we find out the duo's favorite taco spot in Los Angeles. So, Risk and Nathan Ota, what's your favorite taco?

Our favorite taco spot is La Reyna taco stand outside the restaurant on the corner of 7th and Mateo. Specifically the stand at night, not the restaurant. Risk also says that when he's had one too many drinks, nothing beats jack in the Box-- 2 tacos for 99 cents :)

Thanks guys! Keep reading for images from the show and its creation, as well as a video interview with RISKY about his latest mural in DTLA.

In Paramount, ICE was seen taking a man off the street. Community members were also able to pressure agents back to their field office in Oxnard. In San Diego, community members confronted ICE in a parked vehicle outside of Lincoln High School. The agent pepper-sprayed the community watcher before driving off.
