Black Pork, the little West Long Beach restaurant with an outsized culinary spirit, will close at the end of November. And this one hurts.

The Untold Origin Story of L.A.’s Most Iconic Shrimp Taco

If I had to choose just one taco to represent Los Angeles, it’s the taco dorado de camarón from Mariscos Jalisco. It’s nearly perfect in every way. Texturally, it’s crunchy on the edges and custardy in the middle. It’s refreshing, thanks to the thick, gazpacho-adjacent tomato salsa with tender, roughly chopped bits of cabbage. It hits you in the face with just enough of its velvety, ultra-secret filling of briny chopped shrimp, onion, and who knows what else, which L.A. TACO has confirmed is totally free of potato, by the way, despite those who say otherwise. Countless recipes online have tried to replicate the taco; even Matty Matheson has tried to crack it, but nothing will ever be like Mariscos Jalisco.

Miami’s Kyu Brings Wood-Fired Cooking and Significant Buzz to Century City

It’s not every day that a popular Miami restaurant expands to the West Coast, what with the narrative of California’s difficult environment for conducting business and Los Angeles’s often Byzantine rules for opening a large-scale restaurant. But Kyu’s November 9 opening in Century City, tucked behind the historic Fairmont Century Plaza at the base of a two-skyscraper luxury residential project owned by billionaire developers David and Simon Reuben, makes sense for a restaurant chain with plans to expand globally.
