Al & Bea's Mexican Food

Where To Eat Mexican Food Outside In LA - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"This 50-year-old Boyle Heights, order-at-the-window spot serves the best bean and cheese burrito on the planet. The pinto beans, stewed for 16 hours, are gloriously flavored with lard, and they’re topped with a bit of melted cheese and a splash of mild green chile sauce, before being wrapped in a flour tortilla. Head to Al & Bea’s on a Saturday afternoon and you’ll find the whole neighborhood hanging out - families, high school dates, local firemen, and everyone in between. You could certainly get a fried taco or a tostada and walk away thrilled, but there isn’t anything that should deter you from that simple, but glorious burrito." - brant cox
