In LA, Sonoran-style taquerías are a rare breed, but the select few that grace our streets make a big splash in the taco scene. Among them stands Tacos La Rueda, a Bellflower gem. Their thin flour tortillas hold a delicious medley of sliced cabbage, onion, and cilantro that adds a satisfying crunch, while the salsa roja delivers a spicy punch that’s quick but memorable.

When you’re handed one of Perro 110’s “perros” or “tacos perrónes,” brace yourself for a mouthful. These culinary behemoths are the brainchild of Luis and Pablo Galvan, two brothers bred in the neighborhood, with a helping hand from their mother’s expert flour tortilla crafting skills. What’s their secret sauce? Pablo’s weekly pilgrimage to Tijuana, returning to LA with a whopping 250 tortillas each time. Now, that’s dedication!
This much-loved Orange County taqueria has spread its wings to Huntington Park, bringing mouthwatering mesquite-grilled meats tantalizingly close to much of Los Angeles.

Their self-serve topping station boasts creamy chipotle mayo, crisp cucumbers, and a variety of salsas, from mild to heart-pounding.
