: LA tacophiles have flocked to the original Boyle Heights Guisados for rich stewed tacos, where a neighborhood crowd always keeps it real. At this sister location in Echo Park, local hipsters spill out of the little dining room onto a garden patio pushed against the hillside. About a dozen savory stews are slow cooked to melting tenderness, and nestled onto warm handmade corn tortillas. If you can't decide, the sampler --- six mini tacos covering chicken, pork and beef territory --- is a crash course. We're partial to the cochinita pibil topped with crunchy pickled red onions, and the chicken mole poblano; the chicharron was a bit too funky for our taste. Vegetarians have nice options, too, from hongos (mushroom) with cilantro to calabacitas (squash) to the most mouth-numbing chiles torreados. Cool it down with a fresh cantaloupe melon agua fresca or a cinnamon horchata. Service is friendly and fast. Other locations. |
