Tacos y Birria El Pariente
One of the rare treasures of the tens of thousands of taco trucks in Los Angeles county is finding a truck where they make their own tortillas. Taco El Korita on Olympic was always worth the drive, but it turns out that we now have our own truck with tortillas hecho a mano. El Pariente sits on the southwest corner of Avenue 50 and Monte Vista, but as taco trucks go, they close rather early at around 10 PM. They advertise multiple meats, although the pastor spit was empty, but since birria is in the truck’s name, on its window, and on a banner outside the parking lot, we stuck to the house specialty. The meat was good, but not as quality as the birria at Huarache Azteca, but the tortillas were light and excellent. You have your choice of the usual condiments, but a very oily salsa homemade from chiles de arbol added a nice savory and delayed spiciness alternative to the usual red and green options.
