La Azteca Tortilleria - Los Angeles

La Azteca Tortilleria earned MICHELIN Bib Gourmand recognition as a “good quality, good value” restaurant famous for lines “snaking out of its front door”. Their secret weapon: “flour tortillas made in-house every day in full view of the dining room” with “richness and chew that others don’t”. While they offer nearly 20 burrito varieties, “everyone comes for the winning chile relleno” featuring “slivers of sweet poblano peppers and gooey cheese”. Awards include “Best Burrito” by LA Weekly (2012), #1 on The Daily Meal’s “35 Best Burritos in America” (2014), and Jonathan Gold’s “5 Best L.A. Burritos”. Popular tacos include Tacos de Asada and Carne Asada Taco, though “tacos and quesadillas are available but certainly not the main attraction”. This East LA institution offers “homemade flour tortillas, a rare find even for those from Texas” with vegetarian options including nopales, potato, avocado, and cactus burritos. Authentic Mexican comfort food since 1945.
