I grew up in the area, eating a Hollenbeck burrito was a way of life, but there was no such thing as a mini. The original size Hollenbeck burrito is very big and yet there's a bigger one called the Manuel's Special - named after the owner (RIP). He was very much loved by the Boyle Heights/East LA community. This place is very well known to many, before COVID it would be nothing to see a line of people waiting to order some of the wonderful large meals. They serve more than just burritos. Glad that you had a chance to experience the true culture of Boyle Heights.
Action kid, now you should walk down Alvarado street from Pico to sunset. You’ll pass langers delicatessen (Alvarado/7th) with its famous #19 pastrami sandwich!!! (BETTER THAN KATZ 🙈) try this place and compare to Katz please!!!! Go before 3pm when they close, it’s also right across the street from world famous MacArthur Park and you can ride the metro there.!!!
Luckily I just ate and I'm safe from cravings, but now I understand why you had leftovers for later. 🙂 It's huge indeed. It looks like will fill you up for all day.
@@maryreed2619 I went to sleep early at 11 pm and slept all night:) Potatoes are okay. I'm on a potatoes diet since 4 day and will continue.. basically vegan. You probaby can eat whetever you want, so go for it! :)
@@RebekahCurielAlessi I was eyeballing everything. I settled my craving with salt free potato chips. Far cry from a Burrito. 😂 Earlier, I wanted pastrami on rye. And I want Hamentaschen..Yikes!

I'm so glad you got to go to El Tepeyac. It's legendary in our community. So delicious!
El Tepeyac, El Tepeyac, El Tepeyac!!!
I gotta go.
♥️
The burritos are huge there because the football players from CAL STATE LA the local college would go There to try and gain mass for football
Now that is more than a burrito 🌯, that’s a belly buster. Thanks AK for the video.
Oh my god, that is a delicious and satisfying looking burrito 🌯😋 😋
That place is legendary!😊
When you leave LA your gonna be missing the burritos 🌯
That is true. I mean, I live in San Francisco and miss them when I leave and I am guessing LA's are at least as good.
And the tacos
I live in Hollywood and I'm gonna make a trip to El Tepeyac very soon!
Now, that, is a GIRTHY BURRITO!!!!!! You knew that bit was coming.....
"girthy"....
This channel is a very good idea. Food looks so good!!

@@sherylleelee YES...waaaaay better than Katz's deli. Katz's is a tourist trap these days.
@@ActionKidExtra I second that motion...Langers is one heck of a deli!
Is an absolutely most tasty mexicano burrito I ever seen! Glad you enjoyed that first bite 💛❤️💚🌯

The burritos are amazing in LA!
That's a mammoth looking burrito. It looks so good, and so filling. Cheers! 🌯
Burrito looked really good looks like your eating really well in L.A. keep up the great videos👍👍

That looked amazing I never heard of that type of burrito. I’m going to have to try it if I can get it here in Fresno California.
Omg!! I've eaten there before, the burritos are massive and delicious!! Took both me and my husband to eat one
Always split the El Manual Special before most Dodger games 🌯⚾️
I am so hungry watching this
I'll make sure to visit when I'm in town. 💕Delicious!
Definitely have to give it a visit!
That looks soooo good!
Yummy… Burritos, Mexican sauce & food is delicious
Looks delicious.
It would take me only two days to eat that. 😁
😋
It was that good!
The original Hollenbeck has Chili Verde Pork but the sauce is red.
😋. Burritos 😋
Burrito is BIG, yeah yeah yeah! It's not SMALL, no no no!
You should see the original size. It's pretty big and yet they have to even bigger one called the Manuel's Special. It's enough for a family.
@@roadnland1801 Oh man... impressive!!
You're killing me AK! Enjoying your LA adventures. 👍
Looks nice. Why is it called Hollenbeck burrito ?
I believe it got it's name after the LAPD station. The police station is known as the Hollenbeck division.
Interesting 😋
Luckily I just ate and I'm safe from cravings, but now I understand why you had leftovers for later. 🙂 It's huge indeed. It looks like will fill you up for all day.
I missed you at the live. I had some boring salt free potato chips after I saw that Burrito. Lol..🥰

The Manuel special is wayyyyyy bigger.
@@WalkwithRhonda_ Maybe he will try that one too:)
@@WalkwithRhonda_ If you know of the Manuel's Special, than you're no stranger to here. I'm sure that you've been here many times before.
Oh my! That Burrito looks so Yummy! 😋 🌯
For real!
Hey Mary!!! You got here before I did!!! I was eyeing the Chile Verde...
