This weekday lunchtime taco truck at Riverside & Gilroy (Frogtown/Silver Lake) is making genuinely next-level stuff, but very few people seem to have noticed so far.
Tacos, left to right ($4 each): Green Pipian (chicken, with crunchy little pumpkin seeds), Cochinita Pibil (pork), and Soy Chorizo Potato (vegan). I’ve had all five taco varieties they make, and all have been complex and richly flavored. Not to mention visually striking. The red salsa is nicely earthy, and the orange habanero salsa has a tangy kick to it.
The pro move is to walk a couple blocks to the river, and eat on the riverbank.

“Hidden gem” and “sleeping” are so overused nowadays and undeserved
