  • These massive tacos Árabes in Boyle Heights pack a punch. Eater Series Premiere.
    There's not a lot happening on Olympic Blvd. south of the 5 Freeway after dark: it's a section of town mostly reserved for transmission repair places, clothing warehouses, and industrial buildings that are covered with those small squares of semi-translucent glass. But there's a family that works furiously, every Thursday through Sunday evening, in a steam-filled silver trailer on the corner of Olympic and Esperanza in Boyle Heights. It's the promise of tacos that are truly out of the ordinary.

    I've been watching this series for like the past 3 days and it's already one of my favorite series on UA-cam. There needs to be more !!! It's so original, unlike the other hundreds of food series that show you the trendiest and most hipster places in LA, he shows you the real LA. The LA that I was born and raised knowing. Mad respect to you Lucas for showing small businesses with great food. Keep up the good work.

    Boing de mango is the best pairing for tacos, you should try Boing de fresa, is not as good as mango but for me is a close second, better than guayaba. Great video.

  • @matereymate
    @matereymate 8 років тому +4

    they're a mexican company that does some real interesting drinks

    Dude, I love your videos, and you have no idea, we have a several flavor boing, we have: grape, apple, lemon, pineapple, tutti fruti ( mix of fruits ) orange, grapefruit, guayaba ( guava ), not only mango my friend!!! Greetings from Mexico!!!

    • @orionbassmaster666
      @orionbassmaster666 8 років тому +1

      +aprilshowers places like Guanajuato and Puebla have a old established arab mexican communities , so some of that cross cultural culinary flavor is bond to be exchanged (and in essence arabic food and mexican is quite similar ) due to the older pre colonial Arab-moors/spanish history.

    • @CumpasFilms

      That's where tacos al pastor come from.

  • @efrainflores6319
    @efrainflores6319 8 років тому

    I believe there also called tacos al pastor or topo, because it looks like top. Never heard of it being called straight arabe, even the the inspiration came from them. If done right, it is my favorite taco of all!

    • @efrainflores6319
      @efrainflores6319 8 років тому

      Stupid spell check. I meant to say trompo, not topo.

    • @TylerR285
      @TylerR285 8 років тому +1

      +Efrain Flores In Puebla, Mexico they have tacos arabes and tacos al pastor. They are different. Different spices on the meat and different type of tortillas. Tacos arabes are delicious but I prefer al pastor myself.

    • @efrainflores6319
      @efrainflores6319 8 років тому

      +TylerR285 I haven't made it that far, to Puebla, I've made to Guanajuato and other parts. But i think Puebla and Oaxaca are my next trip down there.

    • @michaelminasian4891
      @michaelminasian4891 8 років тому +2

      It's called Oaxacan cheese. It usually comes in a braided ball like this at the market: s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/a3/05/21/a30521ab17d6dabc36d73585b5943d38.jpg its pretty easy to find in LA even at normal grocery stores. It is amazing. Excellent for quesadillas. Kind of like jack and mozzarella had a baby and made it tasty.

    • @mildpinkhues
      @mildpinkhues 8 років тому

      +jcarlos100 true. we have pan arabe when we bring it from puebla, but even Pueblans in LA are already accustomed to the thick flour tortilla and don't want pan arabe. it always breaks my heart, but we can't bring product and let it all go to waste.
