The Best Tacos In LA | Best Of The Best
I like how people are roasting the hell out of these two lol
La verdad no pensé que les tiraran tanto hate, qué cagado, jajajajajaja
They deserve it
They called it lol 🤣 !
I think ppl just dont like hipsters 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
They earned it.
"I would never put a tomato on a taco (dumps salsa all over tacos)"
Natalie Richelle yes it is dumbass!!
Solo los que saben la diferencia entre ponerle jitomate o salsa saben que es un taco
Pico de gallo .!!
Nv
I'm from India n I know salsa contains tomato n dis lady says no tomato on tacos..who is she
“I’m not biggest fan of corn tortilla.” But is judge for the best taco.
Corn tortillas are the best! That woman must of not had a good corn tortilla.
@Chenab Chenab Depends of the region of Mexico
Yeah. As a mexican, that comment was utterly disgusting.
white privilege as it best
@@sherlockholmes8528 hahahaha
You know something's wrong when they play salsa music in the background....
i know a Chinese restaurant in L.A that plays Mexican oldies. sometimes things don't make sense , but that's ok. we're not uptight socialists.. right..?
They like salsa in Mexico
Lmao 🤣
@@bconni2 I wish we were. That's why we are crazy fascists now.
Gracias por comentar esto 😂😂😂
These two are just a black hole of charisma.
Right? Watching this was so awkward 😭
Lies again? True Anal Cold Storage
Next time in Virginia stop by try some American tacos 🔥
Can’t believe they doubled down on him and now he’s everywhere
“Shrimp are fish” 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️😂😂 he probably thinks tuna is chicken
Shrimps are delicious sea roaches and spiders are land mass crabs
😂😂👍🏼
The chicken of the sea lmao.
In another video he didn't know the difference between a goat and lamb. I guess they just hire anyone😄
@Kagami Uchiha shrimp are crustaceans not fish.
This girl is the classic one upper “aCtUaLlY” personality type
Fyi, the word Asada means “Grilled”, Not Roast.
Thank you, that shit bugged me. Lol
In brazilian portuguese, asada do means Roast 😂 BUT this video is abt mexican cuisine, so...
Roast is what the comments are doing to him
@@fernandoemanuelgarzarodrig855 yes, but let’s stay positive, specifically within the race/raza. I’m still learning something new and I’m still a sponge absorbing new things. C’mon Man !
FYI, Asada ("Asar" verb infinitive)means roasted, a la papilla means grilled.
Can she stop comparing tacos with fish and chips smh, what kinda hosts are these 🤦♀️
Soha Hridi they’re not hosts. This is TH-cam. Anyone can blabbermouth on the internet and pretend to be intellectual around food. The problem is that she clearly can’t think of enough adjectives or clarify succinct frames of thought while also stuffing her stupid face.
Hosts that are terrible food critics
Lmao, so true, and then she compared one of the tortillas to the consistency of a cake.
@@illuddivinus3309 JAJAJAJA stupid face, she is really arrogant, como si supiera mucho la tipa 🤣🤣🤣
Daniella Renee Gudiño Barroso lol no sabe nada la tipa 🙄🤦🏻♂️... hey de donde eres? Conosco a una Daniela barrroso tambien! I’m up in the pacific NW USA.
All of these tacos looked amazing, but you missed al pastor!
They have rats don't they?
@@BOOSETO that's the best part
Al pastor sucks
Food and Foodprints Not only al pastor but also tripa, bofe, pancita, barbacoa and several more. 😋😋😋🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
@@davids.6465 Eso es del centro, tal vez sean inspirados en tacos del norte
Carnitas el momo has always been my favourite especially because it is by mí tío & tía and my primos so proud of them
Yup it’s fire with some salsa de nopale live down the street

"I've never had a grilled green onion with a taco"???? "I don't like corn"????? How did you two Bozos get this job?
They’re both producers , meaning they put themselves there haha
beats me?
Corn dosent belong on a taco neither does that meat they’re using it should just be ground beef
Jacob Ross you’re a dumbass
Even my mom makes this for me every day i shouldve been the one doing this video
Did these people say "TACO expert"! Lol I'm dying 😂💀
*Laughs in Mexican*
I came for the food, but it was a struggle getting past these two hosts. The hardest part of the video was deciding which one was more annoying.
sounds like you got bigger issues in your life worth addressing.
Well said but hands down it was the girl. Tacos & Mexican food in general is about the only reason to visit L.A. It's a drag living in Canada where this food is still an unknown & very foreign experience.
@@Imightberiding Mexican food in the greater Los Angeles area is the best outside of Mexico. and Asian food is pretty darn amazing out here too.
@@bconni2 Agreed! It bums me out that I can't get food like this in Canada. I went to college in the USA & lived there for about a dozen years after & miss the Mexican & southern food.
We do have excellent Asian food here in Vancouver & on the west coast in general including Vancouver Island where I live. A few half way decent Mexican food trucks but it pales by comparison to what I had grown accustomed to in your fine country.
I mostly try to imitate Rick Bayless & cook my own but it's not the same as going to your favourite spot for takeout tacos. Cheers.
Trick question! It's both of them. Both of them are annoying af.
the dude touched the dirty sidewalk and ate the food. ahhhh... i miss 2019
XD same
IKR 2019 WAS AMAZING
Thanks covid-19 no more street food.
this guy clearly doesn't eat a lot of mexican food, they should have gotten better people to do this episode
completely agree
I like it that way. That way he won't be biased toward other tacos. Lol
Agreed. Both gringos too
Get Mexicans instead of "suburbanites" to judge tacos.
Thank you! There something about them that seems very fake.
These two makes Mexico want to build the wall. Ps those tacos look amazing!!
Please do that. Start today. Western civilization begs you.
ok, that was funny...
Sonoratown was by far some of the best tacos I’ve ever had. Walked through skid row to get there but it was worth it!!
Man, these series always put a smile on my face! Especially being from the city that they’re about. Very well made guys, for real.
That guy asks for cheese on that taco wtf lol go to Taco Bell buddy
Pedro Brenes Fr 👊🏻
TheOerdin I wouldn’t even consider Tijuana Mexican lmao
Pedro Brenes what’s wrong with a all carne Taco de Asada with Monterey queso ! It’s bomb try it!
Or queso fresco?
cheese is bad? kinda weird. i always put cheese onmy tacos.
Can never trust a hipster to recommend a good place to eat.
Only good weed to smoke
Ha ! Completely agree hipsters seem to care more about how it looks on Instagram instead of how it actually taste
King taco is the shit my guy! 100% authentic and sanitary!
I can tell you el momo it’s the beat the rest are just a joke
dear god what cringe replies
"You don't put cheese or tomato in a taco"
It depends about which kind of taco is.
-Carnitas combine pretty wel with pico de gallo (tomato, cilantro, onion, jalapeño).
-Fish and seafood tacos combine well with lettuce and tomato.
-Tacos arabes (from Puebla, the father of taco al pastor) combine pretty well with grilled cheese (there's this sauce... jocoque, that's good too).
The taco is love, taco is life and that's because you can put almost any food in a tortilla and become a taco.
Or even the tacos dorados, or flautas (which are kinda similar depending from where you are how they are made) does actually go with queso fresco, cream, tomato sauce type salsa, lettuce, frijoles and red spicy salsa 👌 it all depends
I make vegetarian garbanzo tacos at home and they taste amazing topped with fresh onions and tomatoes.
You don't put cheese in tacos. I'm sorry but that's a quesadilla or sincronizada. Best pastor doesn't have cheese because the meat - if done right - is enough with the right salsa, cilantro, and onion.
The fact is, the cheese in tacos is a US thing. Birria in Mex is made with chivo and it's corn tortillas, consomé, onions, cilantro, and some red salsa if you want heat. No cheese or quesabirria.
I'm from Mexicali - Norteño carne asada - and one of the best things we did in my town: ribeye tacos over charcoal with a tortilla de harina, guacamole and salsa habanero with grilled cebollitas verdes on the side and Chile toreados.
"I'll never put tomatoes on my tacos." Then pours Salsa with tomatoes all in it all over her Taco but hey whatever lol
Not the same but ok
@@brie1796 it's literally the same.
@@anabhousen7159 Lol. Salsa has tomato, onion, ajo, chiles (the type depending on the salsa), salt, and pepper. You have to cook the tomatoes and chiles, then you have to crush them or blend them, and add salt. One takes no effort and has no flavor, while the other can make or break a taco.
@@jmc4935 I'm Hispanic you don't need to explain salsa to me, but yes it has tomatoes in it so thank you for proving my point.
@@anabhousen7159 Tomato and salsa are different. Wtf is so hard to get? She said tomato simply tomato a freaking vegetables. Can you substitute all the salsa with tomato if that's literally the same things. Please use your brain.
"drives to mexico to get special flour" hmm...
🤣
@Stoners Opinion From what I remember in the Netflix show they were featured on she doesn't I don't exactly remember where she goes to but I believe she goes to a rancho.
some high grade heisenberg level of flour 😂
yes the buy los gallos flour on san luis rio colorado in sonora, it's special for tortillas
@@germansherman7707 Los Gallos Hermanos flour?
"Chrissy Tiegen had them go to her house" My eyes rolled so far into the back of my head I was blind for a week.
Those look so good. Take absolutely NOTHING for granted people. You really don't know what you got, or how blessed you are until it is gone. I miss the pleasure of eating food.
The second ones are actually called "pescadillas" that comes from "pescado" (fish) and quesadillas. They are a deep fried seafood quesadillas and they can have different ingredients, for example, there's crab ones, dogshark ones or even just fish ones. They are really typical and you can find them in almost every seafood restaurant in Mexico.
I've never rolled my eyes harder.
Those tacos at Sonoratown look amazing! Fresh tortillas and carne asada over charcoal
Food and Footprints the tacos are alright. The chicks a poser. Those idiots don’t speak a lick of Spanish in real life. Which is a huge shame.
The shop co-owner that is, not the crappy hosts.
Those tacos are hyped . They are ok
The burritos are a lot better than the tacos tbh
Enjoyed the video. Made me super hungry 🤤
All my out of town friends that come visit me in LA, I take them to Marscos Jalisco. It blows everyone’s minds. So good.
What do you get
Hate is a strong word. I totally dislike both of them
ditto
@@damianstorm9932 same lmaoo😂😔
Why
She's hot but. Minus the bikie tattoos.
Dont watch the vídeos dude
Let's get some Hispanics to do the Hispanic culture episodes
What happened to the melting pot?
Orale
That’s racism! you should be ashamed of yourself
See that's actually racist buddy.
Update: the episodes would just be 10x more entertaining and relatable for us. When there's people unfamiliar with certain cultures it just looks boring and biased
Should have brought in someone who knows what a taco is lmfaoo
You know the great Anthony Bourdain would eat literally anything you put in front of him on his show...then there are these bozos.
" I don't eat cheese." "I don't eat radishes." Suck so much.
i mean, in all fairness, we're all "bozos" when compared to Anthony Bourdain.
Your comment made me nostalgic and sad.... I miss watching Mr Bourdain's show. There will be no one like him.
Sonoratown is no joke, place is fire. Whenever I have time I would go. You know you are getting quality tacos for a cheap price.
The hosts ruined this video for me, I love learning about tacos
so you live in some sort of taco free wasteland , in which you need to learn about tacos on youtube..?
watch "todos los tacos" it's good
@@bconni2 stfu
@@michaelboshko8206 I will. Thanks for the referral.
Tacos are the best food
Thank you for making these videos. Due the Covid-19 eating out has pretty much vanished from the agenda until further notice. But I can live vicariously though these videos.
I love tacos but I can’t stand these people. They’re definitely targeting this for a “certain” audience.
Yea i dont like gangstas either!!!
White people not in their element! Awkwardly embracing Tacos!
@@gbae636 what does this even mean? Cringe comment
Why does insider post videos only when I'm full making me wanna to eat again😫
Hola
Picked two of the worst people to review this subject. This reeks of gringo. Smh
My thought exactly, they dont fit, they seem more fake than store bought tortillas
This guy must have only eaten at Taco Bell. "Where's the cheese" "I've never seen grilled scallions before..."
would you expect better from insider foods??🤣🤣🤣
She doesn't put tomato on tacos proceeds to put a tomato based sauce on. genius!
agree
Well done and congratulations to the cooks and owners
a lot of colours, food very fresh and handmade tacos.. i love this food.. respect from italy
That girl is beyond arrogant & judgemental. Perfect for an LA food reviewer wannabe
King Kang she is a communist hippie. Enough said
she's not even from L.A..i think she's a NY transplant...
Yup
TOTAL WANNABE. she acts as if she’s the authority. Girl come on, where did you grow up???
Why the hell am I watching this past midnight while I starve to death??? 😭😭
Wow. "Absolutely amazing" to describe a dish. Groundbreaking food commentary here.
Honestly those guys are so funny, especially Joe - he is hilarious xDD
This just made me angry - the issue with this channel are the hosts.
Don't watch then
Hell yes! These whities should never be allowed to give an opinion on LA!!!! Donde esta la raza? No saben de lo que hablan 🤦🏻♂️
@@miguelchavez6692 would you prefer Trumps whites? These hipsters are obnoxious but theyre as good as it gets smh
Stop gatekeeping. Chill.
why..? too White for you...?
After watching the Netflix special I visited Sonoratown and they were really good. The asada yea is basic but their meat is high quality and the special touch is the flour tortilla. The owner was extremely nice.
These tacos make my mouth all watery watery😂
Joe and Sydney could have saved us some time and gotten a jar of Hellman’s and two spoons
This is the best comment I have seen in a while bravo.
I love watching these types of videos and now I’m hungry 😋
They should stick to Taco Bell, clearly they do not know how to eat a taco and what to put on it🤦🏽♀️
Ikr!!
not all gringos are ignorant when it comes to the splendors of Mexican cuisine. especially the gringos who grew up in Southern California.
@@bconni2 Its pretty obvious that both the hosts are transplants to LA.
@@bconni2 ignorant or not I think it's hilarious to judge a taco when you've never had a real street taco from MX.
@@bradchikenheart2 yeah, but L.A is closest to the real thing outside of Mexico.
This episode made so hungry 😋
Bruhhh watching this while eating a taco feels so satisfying
Omg sell-sa? It’s guys like you who pronounce my name Joo-ahn 😂 ❤️
i work with a guy named Juan. His brothers name is Jose. Nice guys
@@johnhaver1264
Your name is Juan too
That salsa she's dumping on her taco is made with tamotoes. Ha ha.
Tomatoes in salsa are fine but putting plain tomatoes on a taco is a definite no thank you
@@jazzyjaz9108 still...salsa is made from tomatoed
Ahahah right! 🤦🏻♀️
She is talking about diced tomatoes as a filling.
Ryan Hartwell EXACTLY!! So annoying 🙄🙄🙄
Love the places that they have went out of there way to display, next time I’m in LA I know where I’m going, all 4 spots!
bacot ahahhahahhahhahahah anjing
I would love to have a job just like them,food is everything to me 😍😍😍
What's up with the salsa music in the background? 🤦♂️
ssskullsss stereotypes of the Latino community
Too make the Video spicy 🤣
All the good German Polkas were taken.
I love it! Its cultural 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤❤❤
Exactly...it’s tacos! Need some good ranchero norteño music 🤦🏻♂️
Good authentic tacos are something we simply do not have here where I am in eastern Canada! I miss Mexico... I’d love to go back again some day... the food is simply amazing in Mexico!!
Thankfully they’re easy to make and there’s tons of videos on here with abuelas teaching you how. Sometimes their videos aren’t translated but you always ask in the comments section. I legit learned how to make carnitas at home that way.
hi after 3 yrs did you go back to mexico and get some tacos? ha ha ha your comment make me feel proud of my mexican food thank you sorry after 3yrs i just saw your coment
The salsa for the shrimp taco is fire 🔥😍
I like this duo so muchhh
I had Ricky's fish tacos before. They were on point!!! Looking forward to hit up the other 3 tacos places
3:35 I also know someone who travels across the border to pick up sacks of "flour"
i skipped to the end and actually thought it was a good surprise he picked el Momo. Weird to judge such different kind of tacos side-by-side but "tacos de carnitas" are amongst the classic definition of tacos for me so i would have picked those too, as much as I like the others (tried them all)
This video made me so happy
I guess it’s time to buy some tacos
MOM WE NEED TO BUY SOME FOOD
Hammer Addiction4u I see u everywhere
Mum: WE HAVE FOOD AT HOME
When you put hipsters as hosts smh
What does hipsters mean?
@@noemidelgado-lagunas3610 the gringa girl. She a hipster. Like glasses with tattoos. Weird style tho
I was just thinking who's the female or the male here..... smh. The guys is a total joke
@@jeremymedina8376 so you don't know what a hipster is? Just that they look weird? Lmao
@@aldocardetti2248 are u being sexist?
Look I respect ✊ and appreciate ppl that recognize nice our food and culture and every state in Mexico has there own seasoning and style
4:41 she would get slapped at my dinner table
With a baseball bat
13:28 I would never put tomatoes on my taco, ever ever ever
Get rid of the guy please. He's a total goof.
Not to mention that he was that guy that was testing the food in London.
Build. The. Wall
You mean a fudd
Or at least some less mayo couple 😂
Jst like elliot
I’m convinced tacos can bring world peace
We can dream. Nothing like eating your favorite taco and a cold beer or favorite agua fresca after a hard day of work.
Me too 😉
My boyfriend took me to Mariscos Jalisco for our first date, that was 5 years ago, it’s a regular spot now. Best shrimp tacos ever 🔥
I’m so glad a “Taco expert” chimed in! Whheeew!!!!
Im from Sonora, and actually we have a very known taco named CARAMELO. That is carne asada with Asadero Cheese . It is amazing btw.
Lmfao he’s definitely such a Chicagoan 😂😂😂😂😂
My dad's family is from Sonora and yes they make bomb tacos 😍🌮
'Sounds delicious, let's get started' - what enthusiasm!
As a native to LA, your reporters are awful. Would have been so much better to have the taco expert in the beginning host this episode. Maybe next time bring in some people who know something about tacos!
Well as a Mexican native that has never left the country the carnitas looked the most legit. The tortilla, meat that was used, the quantity and the green salsa. Spot on.
The mariscos tacos were the weird ones, and Sonoratown uses flour tortillas so that's a yikes from me.
MissingClover flour tortillas for tacos are normal in Sonora, Baja CA and I think Chihuahua. In Tijuana specialty places will ask you what type of tortilla you want (corn or flour).
No yikes, they are actually REALLY good.
@@rgdssd yeah and what do all the places you mentioned have in common? They're up north bordering USA.
Corn has been the blood of Mexico since prehispanic times, flour tortillas are a texmex thing. And yeah Mexico has them and used them but we also have hotdogs, would you say hotdogs are Mexican just because they're common now?
@@missingclover A Tex-Mex thing. I'm pretty sure they use flour tortillas in Oaxaca too
@@Yerbluesful Dude, i have flour tortillas in my kitchen right now. They use flour tortillas everywhere, what i'm saying is that they're not as representative as corn tortillas. I also have ramen in my kitchen, is ramen mexican just because i eat it daily?
So many great Taco-tunities !
you two drove me insane eating these TACOS I want some now !!!!
_Right here in North Hollywood baby let’s gooo!!!_
I kind of want to see you take on ice cream tacos next! Housemade choco tacos seem to be becoming way more of a Thing and I am here for it.
took my like back after that taco bite... WHY WOULD U BITE IT THAT WAY
Dude ya whimped down!!! They're all looking good. Eat what you want 😋
With you guys everything is best in the world...even if same recipe
They should hire Latinos on the insider !
I imagine crossing the border with huge sacks of flour twice a month momentarily raises some eyebrows at the checkpoint
I was lookin for this comment lmfaoo it’s definitely always a hard time when she come thru
great Chanel !!
Much love Sydney! Totally agree what should go in a taco 🌮 4:40 lol
"I would never put a tomato on a taco, ever" WTF How can you be a Food Insider. Oh yeah, you have a beanie.
my good friend is Mexican and he doesn't like tomato on his tacos. so it's really not that big of a deal.
@@bconni2 The point of my comment is she's a food insider and she's supposed to test food the way it's made and then make her opinion known it has nothing to do with her personal tastes. She's supposed to eat it the way it's prepared and then give her review. You can't be a picky eater if you review food.
@@drphibesrises . i mean, sure i guess we're all "supposed" to see the world through your eyes.
@@bconni2 Now you understand smart ass. Your just as clueless as this chick. Look up what a food reviewer does.
@@drphibesrises your logic makes no sense when you really give it some thought. if the food critic / reviewer hates tomatoes , than why on earth would they order something with tomatoes. ? wouldn't it make more sense to eat something you're reviewing that you can enjoy? if the food is prepared so you have the best possible experience, that sounds like the more logical approach so you can make a fair assessment of it. rather than eating something you don't like, in which you're going to have a negative bias before eating it.
The thing is, this is L.A. so of course you have 1,000 taco places and 950 of those are amazing and tasty. Only doing 4 here in this video was difficult to pick the best but all these 4 places really are that good. If I could have asked for them to do a 5th I would ask them to go to La Tostaderia in the grand central market. Those are awesome too!
The tacos Gringos are one of the best tacos I've ever tasted. You can't beat fresh octopus tacos
"who wants a cheese on a taco", lol!! Yes on the other episode you loved the "cold cheese tacos$ how contradicting!! 😂😂
@Sydney, your tattoos are dope! Love the ink
Next these two tackle the top 50 greatest rappers list
They really pack those carnitas in!
Why am I always watching these videos at midnight and be hungry af ?
Ooh! yeees i love tacos de carne asada whit tortillas de harina cebollita Cambray,chiles caribes asados,salsita bandera o salsa picante, y su guacamole.. Delicious 😋..Iam from Sonora 🇲🇽😍.. Greettings..
