Top Ten Tacos ~ Hollywood Party Edition

12:22 PM PDT on May 8, 2007

Let's say you've just stumbled out of a Hollywood club or bar and need to, as the party people say "get your taco on". Where are the go-to spots? The great Bandini has the answer, although he rightly notes that Hollywood is sadly no taco mecca. Thus, we have a top 5 and not a top 10 for you. As usual, please post your favorite post-party Hollywood or H'wood adjacent spots in the comments.

1. El Matador - (western and lexington)

2. El Chato - (la brea and olympic)

3. El Gran Burrito - (vermont and santa monica blvd)

4. Cactus taqueria - (950 Vine St)

5. Taco Zone Alvarado & Montana Ave (north of sunset blvd next to Vons)
