The original Guisados is in Boyle Heights (East Los Angeles) and a thriving community that Mexicans call home.Sometimes, simply is better, especially when you're dealing with basic items such as tacos. Guisados offers an excellent location. Clean, roomy and easy to find. Their taco presentation is more gourmet and perhaps that is their agreed strategy to charge a higher than normal price.They do a good job and really embrace the community. Also, they offer a wide variety of meats and filings as well as homemade tortillas. I will come back to support them. But, for my regular taco fix, I know tons of other spots which also specialize in fresh ingredients and they give you more bang for your buck. Sometimes, I just enjoy all of the grease (liquid) oozing from a good old fashioned carnitas taco which cost $2, maybe $2.50.

I'm gonna cut to the chase on this one. If all they served was the chili relleno burrito with asada, they'd be a hands-down five out of five. That was one of the best burritos I've ever had...I'm a happier man for having experienced that burrito. This experience would in no way hit the mark the way it did if they didn't make their own tortillas. I wish more places would appreciate the benefit of homemade tortillas...like La Azteca.That said, I also tried the chorizo burrito with beans, cheese, and potatoes (and chicken taco, asada burrito, chicken burrito, etc). Unfortunately, the chorizo burrito fell short. The potatoes were ultimately the big issue, although, pinto over refried beans would have been much preferred as well. The problem with the potatoes? They're seasoned potatoes...you know, with that crust on the outside. Normally I'm okay with that, but it had way too dominant a flavor in this burrito. Overall, I love that it's small. The people are extremely friendly, and the food was very good. In LA, would I travel from across town for the asada tacos or chicken burrito? No. But I'd travel from San Francisco for the chili relleno with asada burrito...in fact, I just did and it was totally worth it.

I came here with a friend to get supplies for a Mexican themed party. What a fun place! There are many vendors selling Mexican products including and not limited to: Clothing, natural healing, decorations, cooking equipment, herbs, salsas and sauces, butcher, fast food stands and gifts. The market is on two floors and has a Mariachi Restaurant on the third floor. They have free parking. I think that this is a good destination for tourists wanting a Mexican experience without going to Mexico. I can't wait to go back and get some fresh Mole' sauce.
