Guidebook for Los Angeles:: Mostly Silver Lake/Echo Park
Food Scene
(literally my favorite taco spot in the world)
A favorite is the sampler of six miniature tacos or the shrimp taco! Vegetarians can go with the frijoles con queso or mushrooms! You'll want to try and grab a spot on the patio out back, shaded by umbrellas.
