Tacos Los Cholos

Tacos Los Cholos is OC taco royalty, and their first LA location already holds its own in the city's crowded taco scene. Juicy asada soaks up smoke from Los Cholos's charcoal grill and the charred beef rib—with its crispy, fatty bits—is so soft it melts away. Order across the spectrum of carbón-kissed things, like minced al pastor, arrachera, and squeaky slabs of panela cheese. But there’s no need to rush a meal at this Huntington Park taqueria like you do at some taco spots. Enjoy table service (no booze, though), TVs playing the Dodger game, and the lingering mesquite smell that tells your brain the taco party ain’t over 'til you need to be wheelbarrowed out of there.
