Before Soy Nguyen moved to L.A. from Jacksonville, Florida, she thought Mexican food was synonymous with Chipotle—which she bravely admits to L.A. TACO.
Nguyen has lived in L.A. since 2014, over that time developing a fanbase of over one million followers on Instagram and TikTok combined.
She frequents mom and pop restaurants throughout Southern California, documenting homemade recipes and generations-long practices. Tacos are among her favorite foods, and you can see her visiting acclaimed brick-and-mortars like Holbox and lowkey street stands like Tacos La Patrona on her social media pages.
