Farnsworth Park restoration begins this week

Since the Charles S. Farnsworth Park opened in 1934, it has served as the center of civic, cultural, and social life for generations of Altadenans. The park’s upper and lower ball fields — popularly called “The Hill” — has been the primary home venue of the Central Altadena Little League. Four permanent pickleball courts and several tennis courts have regularly hosted community-wide competitions. The outdoor basketball courts have been the site for local three-on-three community tournaments, pickup games, and youth sports skills camps.

Tacos Royale Transforms a Silver Lake Parking Lot Into a Carne Asada Destination

In our Dining Reports, we share a firsthand perspective of a recent restaurant visit, covering everything from the vibe to must-get dishes. See more in the Eater app. Tacos Royale, a taco stand operating out of a Silver Lake parking lot, burst onto Los Angeles’s carne asada scene in the summer of 2026 with flame-kissed meat piled into tortillas rich with tallow. Opened by Saúl Pérez García — a veteran of Atla, Ceviche Project, and food truck La Hija del Marondo — and his cousin, chef Eloy Aluri, the stand specializes in Hermosillo-style tacos. Even in a crowded taco market, Tacos Royale stands out with its attention to detail, from the dialed-in sear on the very generous serving of asada to the salsas made to complement, not overwhelm. The simplicity of the stand’s menu — limited to just two types of tacos, a burrito, and chips and guacamole — lets the team focus on each ingredient. The party beans are just cheesy enough; the beef cracklings that crown the OG taco are deliciously smoky. Just a few months old, Tacos Royale is already becoming an essential stop in any Los Angeles carne asada education.
