That's Good! Classic Los Angeles Burritos: Part One
Ойын-сауық
Welcome to "That’s Good!," where we venture into the depths of Los Angeles to find the city's unsung culinary heroes. In this first episode, we journey into Boyle Heights and East Los Angeles, a connected series of neighborhood where food tells stories of culture, family, and history.
We start at El Tepeyac, home of the massive Manuel Special and the fiery Oki Burrito. These aren't your average burritos-they're hearty, packed with flavor, and served with a side of nostalgia. Next, we hit up Al and Bea’s, a place where simplicity reigns and the bean and cheese burrito is a legacy passed down generations. Finally, we end at Lupes Burritos in East LA, where they have implemented some tasty items to there arsenal of amazing, classic bean and cheese burritos.
These are the spots that have been feeding locals for generations, places where the menu hasn't changed much because it doesn't need to. We're talking about food that’s comforting, authentic, and deeply rooted in the community.
If you're a fan of real, no-nonsense eats and the stories that come with them, this is your show.
Like, comment, and subscribe for more of That's Good! This is just the beginning.

Awesome Video! Lupe’s was a great spot, King Taco was a few blocks overs also. Used to work in Monterey Park and lived in Boyle Heights years ago and these spots were a go to for a lot of us come Lunch time. I remember Lupe’s had a real home cooked flavor to, like my Mom cooked it up back there lol. Lupe was a real character to, kind of a dry sense of humor who didn’t take crap from anyone, love that lady! One time a dude was there eating his lunch and told her how he used to go there as a kid but hadn’t visited in years and she said “Ok so what do you want a prize or something, and why did you stop coming?” Friggin Savage and Hilarious at the same time.

There is a second La Azteca on Atlantic and 3rd, where that McD’s is. They open another location because of the huge lines at the one on Cesar Chavez. Taste exactly the same.

Manuel once called my father at his home while I was visiting. I answered the phone and told him my father went to the store he'll be back in 15 minutes. So when my dad got back I ask him was this Manuel one of my uncle's friends he said no its Manuel from El Tepeyac. 🤯 I said who going to call you next Ronald Mc Donald and Jack in the Box? 🤔😆🤣🤣🤣🤣

I’m sorry but La Azteca is nothing special. They got good reviews mostly because of the tortillas that are made there but not because for their burritos or tacos. I was there last week and it’s was disappointing.

Tex mex style has nothing on mexican food. For example why put grated cheddar cheese on beans when you can put cotija or queso fresco or panela.

@DavidEatsLA it's similar to tex mex is what I was saying just look at the ingredients they are in your face telling you and yeah emphasis on the American on the Mexican American food. Just the beans is really mexican lol. I'm from l.a and I know east l.a very well, their flavors are more American that's why they don't have many great spots.
