Best Tacos in Los Angeles.

Harry currently ranks 10 tacos spots in Los Angeles, scoring 83–92 on the Harry Score. 3 carry critic or guide backing. Prices run $ to $$.

The tortilla is the floor and the filling is the argument. Harry wants masa pressed that day, meat with actual char, and salsa that was somebody's morning job. A great taco needs neither a plate nor an explanation — and no amount of crema fixes a filling that arrived in a bag.
