Tacos Of The Lion

The hardest working taquero in the taco business can be found every weeknight on Eagle Rock blvd in Eagle Rock. His name is Leo and he has his wife Sonia run Leo's taco truck.

Leo's is a local institution in Eagle Rock and a favorite among local Oxy students. So much so that the Oxy students made a movie about Leo's. Watch it here.

Leo's is down with the digital age also. He has a website and myspace page.

So now that we have all of the PR out of the way how are the tacos?

Pretty darn good. The al pastor is special. The saucy juicy pork swims in flavor .It's the kind of taco you can easily get addicted to which explains the long lines and why I call Leo the hardest working taquero in the business. The man never stops working and his grill stays open from 8pm to 4am every night but Monday. Monday is Leo's day off.

Tacos come with guacamole and salsa verde on the side. You can choose from asada, al pastor, pollo or veggie.



On this night I went with asada, pastor and veggie because I know at least one vegetarian reads this blog.The veggie taco is sloppy but oh so tasty , especially with the salsa verde.

The allure of Leo's aside from the food is the prices. In an age when your average burrito stand wants $5 for a burrito Leo gives us the $3 regular burrito (meat, beans,jack cheese, guacamole, pico de gallo) and the $2.50 veggie burrito. If you're a serious carnivore you can get the $4 all meat burrito.

In eagle rock when it comes to late night street tacos it's either Leo's or Rambo's. If it's after the bars close there will be at least a 30 min wait at Leo's while the longest I've waited at Rambo's would be 10 minutes. Go at off peak hours (9ish) and try both.

Tacos Celaya

There is a fate of parking to the corner of Washington and union in
the union of Pico. Sometimes per day it is a modest fate of parking,
sometimes filled with cars not. Most of the time not. Come the
twilight(sometimes earliar) a truck from taco called bearings of Tacos
Celaya in mariscos of portion and the tacos with people of the country
and all the comers.I noted the first time its west of control out of
the centre town. Mariscos of words painted through before truck beside
the tacos Celaya of words. Celaya is a city of the state of Guanajuato
in the central mountains of Mexico. Does Tacos authenticate town of
Celaya? I never was in Celaya thus I cannot be the judge. But what I
can judge is how these tacos compares with the local taco
competition(king, taurino of EL) and they completely compare Pasteur
of favorably.al and Pasteur of Al of asadaThe of edge is cut well pin.
The pig, moist and candy in the medium, carbonized with the ends. The
asada, greasy but the so good OH, good quantity of spice and little
carbonized in each bite. Both tacos supplemented with onions, cilantro
and a roja of salsa with a bottle of compression of roja available for
those which as an additional blow-of-foot in their
tacos.asadaEverything is made well, no cartilage on one or the other
taco, twisted them are oiled perfectly, the spiced and tasty salsa.
Not only they to the top of excellent the tacos are useful but the
shrimp mariscos and cocktails looked at each little like goods. Thus
my friends, if you travel along the blvd of Washington in the union of
Pico saw probably you this truck and wondered. You do not ask more,
this is a truck worthy of for.Tacos finished traction Celaya
Washington and of avenue of the trade unions, the tacos $1.25 of the
