antidote to really, really nauseating Mexicans? We haven’t tried too many because we’re partial to New Mexican style but La Seranta in LA, Enrique’s in LB, Taleo, Taco Rosa & Taco Mesa in OC are not too shabby....

Too late for this time, but next time you can bring your own pot to Cilantro’s on weekends for menudo. They come with hand made corn tortillas. They are over the Puente Hills, not far from Hacienda Heights (down Colima and...

I need to give a shout out to my neighborhood taqueria, Chilango’s, on the corner of NE 15th and Prescott. It used to be a Taqueria Uruapan, but changed ownership recently. The burritos aren’t much to write home...

Taco LLama branches is on Magnolia just east of Cahuenga. Right on Lankershim in the Arts district you have Salomi Indian, the random KC BBQ place, and Eclectic Cafe. On Vineland and Vanowen is Mariscos Colima, Rigo’s Taco...

Second Tony’s, but it’s probably too informal for your wants. They have incredible fish tacos. You might try Mariscos Colima on Vanowen.

I believe you are referring to Mariscos Colima on Vanowen. Agree about Robin Hood, and would add that, while not simple seafood, Tony’s Mexican Grill on Magnolia and Coldwater has great fish tacos. For simple seafood, with...

is quite tasty. Just barely over the border into North Hollywood is Rigo’s Taco, Pa' Comer and Mariscos Colima, all of which are quite tasty — and on the Burbank side is Bahia Caporales, which is good for seafood (but...
