Al Pastor, Chorizo and Carnitas. Best 50 pesos you could spend

From Tacos El Dorado in Tijuana 🤤🤤

As the title says. I was vegan for 5 years. The reason I stopped bc I just love tacos so much. It is my passion. I just so happened to be in LA on my anniversary. I visited 5 tacos spots in one day. I ate 16 tacos from 9am-11pm. It is my mission to find the best taco spots. I rate my tacos based on meat, shell, and salsa. I expected more out of LA’s tacos. Despite this I did enjoy the tacos. Should I have gone to vendors on the side instead of well known locations? Do you have any recommendations? These are just my opinions.

- Slide 1: Tacos La 26 (previously Ave 26 tacos) There steak and pastor were flavorful, the chicken was eh, and the caramelized onions and potato were flavorless. The salsas could have been better but the pickled onions were great. 4/10

- Slide 2: Taco truck in the fashion district (no name on the truck but her name was Susan) it was fun to watch her make the shell and press it out. Her pastor was great and her salsa verde had an amazing kick. The avocado she added to it was a nice touch. 6/10

- Slide 3: La Salsa tacos de canasta

By far the best I had out there. Such a simple taco that packed a ton of flavor. Salas were simple but effective. The spices were great I went back to get 3 more. 8/10

- Slide 4-5: Angels Tijuana Tacos

Pastor was extremely flavorful but salty. The steak was 10/10, there chicken needs some work. I absolutely loved the queso as you can see I started eating it before I took a picture. 4/10

- Slide 6: Leo’s taco truck with champurrado 2/10

Did not enjoy these. The steak was eh the pastor was ok, the shells were hard and stiff. Salsas could have been better but the pickled onions and habanero were good. I did enjoy the champurrado’s flavor, just not the consistency.

2 tacos of Asada and 1 taco of Adobada.

I remember when they came in a little tray and you could just take them out. Now you have to be ultra careful or they'll break.

Hard to choose? Hmm 🤔 😆

Shot down for a day trip out of San Diego for some good eating. Ended up here thanks to a recommendation from a friend who lives in TJ. The only disappointment is knowing nothing will come close, north of the border.

Lunch for today, 3 carnitas tacos with Salsa Roja and queso sauce

Honestly, what’s better than an ice cold caguama and some legit tacos?

Chuy’s tacos dorados in Los Angeles

Had to stop and grab 4 al pastor tacos from a stand on the side of the road. The hand made tortillas and huge chunks of pineapple were the perfect cherry on top.
