Top Ten Tacos in Hollywood

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.

2. El Chato - (la brea and olympic)

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

4. Cactus taqueria - (950 Vine St)
