For A Real Philly Cheesesteak In California, This Los Angeles Spot Uses East Coast Amoroso Rolls And Serves Pork Roll

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.

Grab A Booth At Nick’s Cafe In Los Angeles, Where Ham And Eggs Have Ruled Since 1948

Some breakfast spots chase trends every season. Others just keep the griddle going and let the decades pile up. This one has been serving Los Angeles since 1948, back when Harry Truman was in the White House and a diner breakfast was the most reliable meal in town. It still opens at 6 in the morning, still closes in the early afternoon, and still draws lines of hungry people who are happy to wait for a seat at the counter.
