awesome to see these family run businesses get the credit and recognition they deserve for working hard and making the best tacos you can find!
Michelin award of any kind for this type of operation is a major shift, and can only mean great things for the future. So happy these small operations creating amazing food are getting the credit they have long deserved. More power to you all!
Tacos have become the modern day lobster. They used to be an affordable bite for the poor working class and now that they’re mainstream, they’ve been gentrified to the point that tacos can be worth as much as $6. I’m glad my culture is getting this kind of recognition, but paying $4-$6 for a taco is wack.
At least the people making these tacos are still coming from the heart and love for their culture. They deserve success.
I think there is space for the $2 street taco and the $8 Michelin-recognized taco in the culinary landscape. They can be mutually inclusive.
@bryanflo4500 I agree, but inflation is also driving prices up.
@j.armand1363 yes and no, inflation is causing the prices to come up, not the fact that they are mainstream. Tacos have always been mainstream, mexican food is just getting more recognized as a culinary art. I live in SoCal, i can find $1.50 or $2.00 tacos anywhere… but i will spend $6 on a bomb taco with prime meats or seafood if i want to treat myself. They both have their place in the world.
I wish this episode was an hour long
Victor! Best taquero in L.A!! Pound for pound! 😉
Horrible idea watching this before sleeping, I’m so hungry
It’s crazy that I’m the one that made that logo ❤tacos la carreta ,🔥🔥🔥🔥🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯mind blowing
Let’s keep bringing back Todos Los Tacos please. Long overdue a new episode.
Villa Tacos has come a long way from working out from their home to then hitting the streets on York Blvd in highland park to getting their store front to becoming Michelin rated…
Heck yea! i remember i visited when i saw them on netflix Taco Chronicles. amazing to see how much he has grown
This is by far the best series on munchies !
After seeing Mike Chen’s episode with Villa Taco, that place went to the top of places I need to visit my next time in the Mother Land.
SHOUT-OUT TACOS LA CARRETA!!! El Gran Orgullo De Ser Se Mazatlan!!!!
I fucking love the Taco Culture in So Cal. Props to Long Beach!
Damn those blue tortillas look fire!!!
When I was a kid, I would accompany my dad to the Grand Central Market. There was tortilla spot that made fresh tortillas every time I would pass by or just stand at the front while my dad bought his lottery ticket. It was always mesmerizing to see that conveyor belt spit out the round colors from that cookie cutter. It’s no longer there but instead it’s a liquor store of some sort but that memory is embedded in this Angeleno
I remember when they used to sell from their house. Definitely a top tier taco. Worth it
I truly wish we had more food trucks in the UK like this. I have to travel distances to get great street food 😩
4:05 he said avocado just like my mom lol only other person I heard say it like that
love the shout to the Santa Maria bbq grills!
