Guisados

"U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited Boyle Heights to try the tasty tacos at Guisados earlier this week." - Matthew Kang

"There's no short supply of Mexican food in LA, so when we say that Guisado's has some of the best, it's a hefty stamp of approval. Guisado is the Spanish word for stew—the kind of slow-braised, spiced meats that taste just as good with a side of rice and beans as they do starring in a taco—and that's exactly where this spot excels. Slow roasted pork with pickled red onions is the fan favorite, but they also do excellent fish, steak, and chicken. The original is in Boyle Heights, with additional locations in Echo Park and West Hollywood."

"On a search for best friend Tiffany, Kelly, Molly, Issa, and Derek secure security footage while stopping at Guisado’s in the Spring Arcade in Downtown LA." - Mona Holmes

(Laid Back) "This is fun": Eating a full meal in front of someone is it's own kind of awkward so imo get in and get out. Drop cash on the drinks if you want but don't overthink food. Tacos are fast (and none of the guisados are particularly vibey aside from the original) so like prove that you can hold and eat a taco cleanly (read: have standards) and get out. The Wolves is next door.
