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.
We’re here to remind you that, despite your current relationship status, recent breakup, or enraging ghosting, you matter. You can meet your romantic needs by being your own damn Valentine this season.
