Burrito lovers citywide make pilgrimages to East L.A.’s El Tepeyac, one of the city’s most legendary eateries. The menu lists many Mexican standards, most of which are good, but go for the burritos---huge beyond belief and stuffed full of delicious goodies like machaca, chile verde, beans, rice, guacamole and much more. The Hollenbeck burrito (stewed pork, rice, beans, chili and guacamole) is named after the nearby L.A.P.D. station and is an enormous signature, but Manuel’s special is even more gigantic. A word of caution: the salsa will set your mouth on fire.
