Taqueria Los Anaya

Taqueria Los Anaya has only been open for about a year, but already it feels like a part of this Mid-City neighborhood. The tiny storefront may be every Angeleno's ideal taqueria: Easy parking, almost disarmingly friendly service, excellent salsas, and, yes, terrific tacos. Great options include the usual suspects—carnitas, asada— but a few less-than-ordinary items stand out such as the deeply flavorful chicken mole ($1.75) and the beautifully tender lengua ($1.95). All served on homemade tortillas and topped with just the right amount of salsa, cilantro and onions—it's LA comfort food at its best.
