Tucked behind the hills of cal state LA is a tiny hole in the wall taco shop. There is a huge tree in front of the restaurant and if you drive too fast on Valley Blvd, you can miss it just like that. The food is amazing. The tacos are grilled in open flame, the owner calls it “Al carbon”, this is exactly how I like it. Years ago before the pandemic, I would go there with my friends after dinner for midnight snack. They would have a giant grill out front, it was bustling with people waiting in line. Now the grill is in the back and they close at 9pm.
I my favorite meats are the carne asada, Al pastor, and chicken. Before pandemic, They had a vegetarian option, which is a jackfruit used as protein. I tried it before and I think it is delicious.
