Tacos Champions of L.A. | Todos Los Tacos

Ойын-сауық

Discover the art of crafting award-winning tacos. In this episode of Todos Los Tacos, Francisco Gómez meets the champions who changed the L.A. competitive taco scene. First, he meets the seasoned competitor Víctor Villa -the mastermind behind Villa's Tacos- and tries their completely original take on the L.A. taco. Then, Paco's quest leads him to La Carreta, a rising star in L.A.'s taco competitions. There, he tries the Torito, a tantalizing Sinaloa-style creation that helped La Carreta win 2023 Best in L.A. Award. In partnership with Camarena - The Most Awarded Tequila. #ad

    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.

    @@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.

    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

    In Los Angeles, tacos aren't merely meals; they're expressions of art and competitive sport. The city offers a unique harmony of old recipes and fresh perspectives, creating a culinary landscape brimming with flavor. Here, tortillas aren't just containers for fillings; they become canvases where flavors mingle in perfect union. To understand LA's taco scene is to understand what makes the city itself so singularly special. We don't just consume these delicious creations; we live them! 🌮

    @@bear2507 Have you seen his company's P&L? Highly unlikely, so you probably have no idea what you're actually talking about. Why does Mexican food HAVE to be cheap? If they're producing and performing at Michelin standards, then they have EVERY right to charge, and therefore pay their staff, accordingly. Even the "lowest" tier hole in the wall restaurant operates with razor thin margins, out of necessity, part of that is due to the public at large practically demanding that good quality meals, and the service and labor that provides them, be grown on trees for free. Just because someone owns and operates (which is not the norm) a successful restaurant does NOT by ANY means automatically make them a millionaire that's gouging their customers that they ACTUALLY GIVE A SHIT ABOUT and laughing all the way to the bank while doing it. Quite the opposite, unfortunately. Times are tough for everyone. Please remember to be kind.
