    The one thing I like about this channel is the verity of different content it produces. It’s inspiring me to do a video on the different taco trucks in my area. I’m not knocking on Hollywood, I been there, ate there and still truly believe that San Diego, CA still has the best taco trucks in the world. I’m definitely going to make a video of it on my channel soon. If anyone has any suggestions what to put in the video, other than their food, would be greatly appreciated.

    As a lifetime East Hollywood resident, I am proud to see longstanding institutions around the area attain some spotlight. The only error I can vouch for is including Leo's Taco Truck. They made their name in the Mid-City area, and made their move here over the last few years. The best two taco trucks are a block away in a dark auto repair lot on Western and Lexington (El Matador and forgot the name of the one next to it). Nothing like tasting their sweet menu items after a night out. Better Al Pastor tacos and tortas than Leo's overrated truck. Just ask all the Armenian taxi drivers and locals that have lived around the area for +10 years.

    • @candacesuero
      @candacesuero Рік тому

    I feel like the guys in this video live in a little bubble and don’t realize a lot of other cities in the U.S have strip malls. Multiple times they mentioned how strip malls are unique to LA and how there’s no other place where you can get your “nails done and eat food next door”. Literally all over the US. Also when eating outside at the taco truck, they mentioned how LA is the only place they can eat street food outside like that... literally the whole world does that... not unique to LA. I am originally from LA so no hard feelings there but these guys act like no one else is doing what they are doing. Either way, the food looked amazing ;)
