Los Originales Tacos Arabes de Puebla - Los Angeles

Los Originales Tacos Arabes de Puebla offers a unique culinary experience in East LA, serving authentic Arab-Mexican fusion tacos that trace back to 19th-century Lebanese immigrants in Puebla, Mexico. This family-run food truck specializes in tacos arabes featuring marinated roast pork wrapped in thick, soft flour tortillas that resemble pita bread, creating a distinctive fusion of kebab and shawarma traditions with central Mexican cuisine. The signature offering is the ‘Especiale’ – a traditional taco arabe elevated with stringy quesillo cheese and buttery avocado slices. The Infatuation describes these as ‘unlike anything else in the city,’ noting the substantial heft means you might only need one or two tacos. The operation moves between Mid-City during daytime and Boyle Heights at night, maintaining traditional preparation methods with smoky chipotle salsa that perfectly complements the marinated pork. Food enthusiasts particularly praise the unique pipicha herb seasoning that adds an authentic Pueblan touch. The truck maintains a devoted following among those seeking genuine regional Mexican specialties rarely found elsewhere in Los Angeles. Prices are reasonable for the generous portions, with customers noting the authentic flavors transport them directly to the streets of Puebla.
