Brand-new neighborhood blog York Blvd. is off and running, covering the whole Northeast Los Angeles world of Highland Park, Glassell Park, Mt. Washington, Eagle Rock, etc. They're already compiling at least one ambitious list, the area's Top 10 Street Food Vendors.
At No. 1 is Tacos La Estrella a taco truck found at Ave, 54 and York, as well as a taco shop a 6103 N. Figueroa. They write:
I know the complaints: (spoken in a whiny voice) “La Estrella is the Starbucks of Highland Park with 3 trucks and an actual storefront”, “they use too much rice in their burritos”, and “they don’t have wifi or Nachos Bell Grande”. Still, they serve excellent carne asada and carnitas that require you to have a drink on hand. I’ve eaten with friends at the stand on Fig while other patrons threw up gang signs to passing automobiles, and I’ve stood pigging out at the truck on York while another customer wrote “A’s” on the truck with a finger, accusing them of being “bitches” for closing just before he arrived. My theory is this: Anyone who has been jumped into a gang must have lived in the neighborhood a while. Thus, it stands to reason that they would know where the best tacos are.
Several readers also chime in. Any other spots you'd add to the list?
