Expert Taqueros Hit Downtown LA's Best Restaurants - Chef's Night Out
Ойын-сауық
It’s not often that the father-son team behind some of LA’s favorite tacos gets a night out together for good ol’ family bonding. So when Armando De La Torre-Senior and Junior-take us on a food tour of Downtown LA and Boyle Heights, they hit all their favorites, new and old.
We start the night at Bestia with rhum agricole daiquiris and dry Szamorodni bone marrow luges before heading to an old-school Mexican diner in Boyle Heights called Manuel’s Original El Tepeyac Café. The crew puts down a five-pound burrito filled with chile verde, rice, beans, guacamole, and oodles of cheese. We close out the night with cervezas and Morrissey karaoke at Eastside Luv before heading back to Guisados’ Downtown LA location for a mountain of carnitas ropa vieja tacos and chorizo quesadillas. Órale.

The father is fricken hilarious and so jolly ! Lost my mind when he told those people to move out of the way, as if it were his nice car , loved this episode
Haha "Alright guys get out of the way... just kidding that's not my car" so funny! Great episode!
Something so heartwarming about the relationship between them two. The banter, the mutual respect for each other but also the pedestal the son puts his father on and the pride and love the father has for his son.
This was a really cool episode. Interesting to see the father/son dynamic. Finally some real people and not them phony ass hipsters.
The son looks like a Mexican Steve-o. Cool dudes.
Dude just cracking dad jokes the whole video. Love it.
His reaction at 6:10 after tasting the marrow is so primal. I love it.
It gets me in shape. Round is a shape!
one of the best chef nights out... good job film and editing crew!!
The dad looks like a mobster from the sopranos

Bro, I'm Mexican and Taco Bell is fucking dope. Don't be ashamed, you don't go to Taco Bell for "authentic Mexican food" you go cause your hungry and the shit is cheap. You don't go to mcdonalds for grade a quality hamburgers, it's just cheap and good.

Went to the downtown location. Got 3 steak tacos and 3 chicken ones. Delicious. Highly recommend
this ep is really nice. dad-son duo and they are very polite and not at all as douchy as some chefs are in these episodes. just wholesome content. lovely.

RIP Manny, we miss you. When ever I fly home to LA, this is the first place I go to eat straight from LAX. Then Tommy's Original for a double and then Philippe's for beef French doubled dipped. LA Original's I grew up on. Nothing beats the originals. LA has changed so much in the past 55 yrs this is all that is still the exact same for the most part "food places". Must mention a few others like El Cholo, Fat Burger, and way to many old great places are long gone.
First heard about El Tepeyac from an episode of Man vs Food. Kinda sad to find out that the owner passed away recently.

Great episode! The passion for the food and the experiences is really nice to see
I love guisados so much and I loved seeing the guys behind it have a great night out
Loved this episode. It's episodes like this want that make me want to cook more and more.
great looking food plus retro 11s. thumps up
When he walked in the direction of the sports cars like that was his car. omg that’s such a Mexican dad thing to do. It reminded me of my dad jaja
I love these two, best wishes!
Yep, the father/son vibe was real and cool. Nice guys. Thanks!
Mouth watering magic! Amazing chef-work!
Jonathan Gold changed the lives of so many people by writing about what he loved and knew it was something special. That alone tells me these men are doing something special and unique. RIP
I love this episode like I'll actually watch it more than once
I love Guisados! Nice to see these two out of the restaurant.
Munchies channel is the absolute greatest on KZread! Thanks guys
best episode yet. fantastic!
A man of few words but great quotes "What stays in Bestia stays there", "Yes round is a shape", "I'm the luge master", "It makes me look cool"
This is one of the best Munchies videos.
I wanted to say this a long time ago but for some reason i'm starting to notice that most most if not all the restaurants that have a munchies segment pretty much cover the same food culture/mentality with a little personal influences. New York munchies you got italian, asian & italian fusions, California - Latino, mexican and asian either standalone or mixed. South part of the USA is mostly BBQ or deep fried, North part of the USA is mostly fish and sea fruit. European munchies is pretty much influences from what is hot in the USA and sometimes genuine traditional food with a modern twist from the chef's country.

Guisados is amazing. I'm from Southern California and have always lived in or very near Mexican neighborhoods with great taquerias. I first tried Guisados when I was living in East LA about 8 years ago. It had a kind of taqueria vibe but it was kicked up a notch. They weren't just trying to feed you, they were trying to do it at a different level where it was a taqueria but also offering interesting Mexican flavors you might not find at other places, something a bit different than your everyday taqueria. Don't get me wrong, the regular taquerias around LA can be amazing, this one though was a unique thing. 100% recommend it to locals and tourists alike.
Father & son duo..awesome
So I watched this video years ago. Then while i LA a local recommended “guisados” and now seeing this video again I’ve just realised its the place i went to. The tacos were brilliant
i really enjoyed this episode. what a good father-son relationship goals..
This was deliciously heartwarming ☺️
love the fact its father and son, they both have passion
Beautiful family episode!
Love these guys!
this dad is so cool
*Shivers and jolts* "That is so good"
I'm glad to say I have my own El Tepayac memories and stories.
i love the personalities of both these guys! wish i lived in the states so i could visit..
loving these guys
I pass by this place all the time lol gonna definitely try it out now.
love these guys
Very impressed. I live in san diego, and HAVE to hit this place next time i go to LA. Congratulations to the father and son team.
