The 38 Best Tacos in Los Angeles | Eater LA

"What does Alex Garcia and Elvia Huerta’s new restaurant and thrash metal have in common? Take a listen to Slayer’s Repentless and it all makes sense. Alongside partner Huerta, Garcia, the power chord loving couple promise unconventional tacos like octopus al pastor in a smoky recaudo negro (charred chiles marinade) that’s sliced from a forebodingly dark trompo. In Evil Cooks’ first brick and mortar the Devil’s Rib, a tomahawk steak served with corn tortillas and fixings, and an unconventional beef Wellington made with pork and phyllo dough topped with pashmak are just the kind of mains expected from this rebel kitchen. The flan dessert taco on a flour tortilla, called La Bruja (witch), is a tribute to Huerta, while the family’s homemade herbed green chorizo tacos take their customers on a flavor journey between heaven and hell. The shop is open Tuesday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., and until 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday." - Bill Esparza
