History

Established in 2002.

We have been making the best possible fried shrimp tacos in Los Angeles for over a decade now and have a strong following all over Southern California and beyond. We have been tagged as a "National Treasure" by none other than Mr. Jonathan Gold. We have also garnered attention from food critics, writers and bloggers across the nation giving us titles such as: "Best Food Truck", "Best Old School Truck", "L.A. Taco Madness 2012 - Winner" and many other accolades. We now offer two locations where you can find "L.A.'s Taco" as Bill Esparza (streegourmetla) baptized us with that title since apparently these tacos cannot be found in Mexico and have become L.A.'s own. Come try what many believe to be the best taco they have ever had. You be the judge. Provecho (Bon Appetit)!
