Valentine's Day is tomorrow, and with it comes all manner of love-themed everything: Cookies, bouquets, chocolate-covered strawberries, heart-shaped boxes full of tacos, and every other gimmick; all at your fingertips as potential gifts for your sweetheart.
For some people, this holiday allows lovers to celebrate with expensive dates, long romantic drives down Whittier Boulevard in a classic car, rose petals flung across a bed or hot tub, and sumptuous gifts. For others, it’s a holiday appropriated by corporations to profit off of relationships and to shame all the sad, solo-yet-still-dope-ass foolanas who don't have a hot date to canoodle with.
At L.A. TACO, love is always in the air. It smells like charcoal burning on a sunny day under some smoky asada and tortillas hot off the comal, with vibrant salsas, caramelized onions, and thick guacamole.
