As many of us live our life in Los Angeles, enjoying its excellent tacos like no big deal and slowly coasting our way through the ever-increasing thumping red tributaries on our navigation apps, it can be hard to remember that our home is still a tourist paradise. Even during COVID, L.A. registered 22 million tourists last year.
While many of those tourists are content having burgers at the Santa Monica Pier or settling for wings at Dave & Busters in Hollywood and Highland, one of the questions we get asked the most at L.A. TACO is: If we only had time for one or two essential tacos while in Los Angeles, where should we go?
We meditate on this critical question a lot in our tiny newsroom, and last week, we finally compiled a list of TEN taquerías that we all can agree on. Ten because merely highlighting one or two doesn’t cut it. It doesn’t mean you have to eat all ten, but we will say it will help understand why people in Los Angeles are so passionate and prideful about their tacos if you get around to them.
Just in time for a certain big super football game being hosted in Inglewood very soon, we welcome everyone to our fine city of tacos. Here is L.A. TACO’s must-eat list of tacos to enjoy while you are here.
