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.

Nancy Silverton Opens LA’s Most Hopeful Restaurant in Pacific Palisades

Altadena and its vibrant restaurant community have been well documented in the aftermath of the Eaton Fire that devastated the neighborhood; the Pacific Palisades has, so far, had less of a comeback, with fewer rebuilding permits issued to businesses. In the Palisades, though many residential buildings are in full rebuild, with construction crews scattered throughout the seaside borough, many families have opted not to return.

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.
