Sylmar 2022: A Photo Essay by Kwasi Boyd-Bouldin

L.A. TACO is embarking on its biggest mission yet: to create a taco guide for every single neighborhood in Los Angeles! Along the way, we will also be releasing brief histories of each neighborhood to understand L.A. a little more and delve into how each and every neighborhood makes our fine city unique in its own way. Check out our Artesia and Lincoln Heights guides and history on our neighborhood page.

This week, we’ve been celebrating Sylmar. Join us now in taking a look as photographer Kwasi Boyd-Bouldin brings us straight to the streets, strips, and sidewalk of Sylmar in this photo essay cruise through the neighborhood.
