"For some of the most creative modern Mexican food in Los Angeles, head to chefs Alex and Elvia García’s Evil Cooks Corazón Abierto in El Sereno. Here in the compact space with a black thrash metal interior and a black-painted, succulent-accented patio, the chefs prepare the same tacos, tortas, mulitas, and burritos that made their pop-up a sensation, including the Poseidon (octopus al pastor taco), Asesino (pork al pastor and octopus taco), chorizo verde burrito, and “chilakiller” (chilaquiles) torta. The dinner menu brings plenty of creativity, like crispy fideo croquettes topped with truffles and chorizo verde pot stickers. — Bill Esparza, contributor" - Rebecca Roland, Matthew Kang, Mona Holmes
