    I tried these guys' barbecue at a pop-up night market on Main Street near 11th DTLA. Best barbecue I've had in Los Angeles.

    Kudos to Heirloom for doing a great job catering the after-party at the Deadline Reality TV Summit…read moreon very short notice. The primary grazing table was decked out with a wide assortment of non-typical, and very appealing, meats, cheeses, veggies, dips, mixed salads and all manner of crostinis. Everything I ate tasted terrific, and was utterly fresh. The only drawbacks: serving utensils were small and fragile, and the display may have been a tad too artistically crafted for the type of crowd, which attacked the freebies like Survivor's castaways hitting a hotel buffet after 40 days on the island. Things got really chaotic really fast. But how was Heirloom to know the guests wouldn't be quite as polite as expected? Their bar had a nice selection of wines, and their house Diablo Margarita hit a pleasant balance of sweet and hot. The absence of soft drinks aside from sparkling water felt like a misstep, though the organizers may have opted out re price. Passed small bites were equally creative and tasty, from shrimp skewers and falafel to samosas and some others. Also on site was a soft-serve ice-cream cart, dishing out several flavors to order. The staff was friendly and chatty, and kept both food and drinks moving at a clip. While the situation wasn't perfect, I feel like Heirloom did an excellent job overall, and that any misfires could easily have been attributed to circumstance and decisions from the organizers rather than any shortcomings on the part of the caterer. I would absolutely call them to cater an event I was planning.

    They catered a party for about 40 guests and did an amazing job. Not only was the food delicious,…read moreseasonal, local but it was beautiful to look at as well. The team was responsive and my emails were always answered promptly. If you are hosting an event and have foodies as friends, this is a superb choice.

    I first saw Evil Cooks on IG years ago and saved it because I had always wanted to try it. Somehow,…read moreevery time I passed by, I had already eaten or completely forgot about it, because apparently remembering tacos at the correct time is now a major life skill. This time, my friends and I were craving something good, and I finally remembered the place. The black al pastor looked incredible online, and it was even better in person. I ordered that along with the lobster taco, while my friend tried the vegetarian option. That black al pastor taco was unlike anything I've had before. I'm very picky when it comes to tacos, but their al pastor is up there with some of my favorites, including Tacos Los Cholos, Tacos El Franc, and Tacos El Gordo. If you're looking for something different and want to try tacos with bold, creative flavors, definitely check out Evil Cooks.

    We found Evil Cooks while craving tacos and decided to give it a try. Parking can be difficult…read moresince it's street parking only, and definitely do not park in the liquor store parking lot! We ordered the 3 From Hell tacos, which included the black pastor, chorizo verde, and black asada, along with a chorizo verde burrito. Don't get me wrong--the tacos weren't bad, but they also weren't mind-blowing. The flavors were there and definitely interesting, but they were missing that wow factor for me. The burrito was decent too, although it was a little on the oily side. Overall, it was worth trying, but I'm not sure I would go out of my way to come back.
