Offbeat L.A.January 28, 2016Opened in 1959 in a historic building on L.A.’s oldest street. Serving from a take-out window, it has a central dining room. It evolved from a Mexican market with the same name opened in 1915.
Jes TSeptember 18, 2014If you're not too concerned about food safety practices, eat here! The lady serving the food uses her bare hands to scoop the carnitas (pork meat) into your taco /plate!

"You simply can't visit LA and not get a churro at this place! :) The plain one (empty, normal, regular) is my favourite, but you can also get it filled with chocolate, caramel, strawberry... Yummy! :)"
