Everything was super affordable too! My favorites were the asada and lengua tacos. Definitely adding this to my return list for my next trip to LA!

You tell one person what your order is, walk up to the register, and then load up on toppings/salsas. It's $2.50 a taco on the smaller sides which isn't a bad deal in this economy. Great that it's open 24/7. There's an awning but no seats though, so you'll have to eat at your car. Got the carne asada, pastor, cabeza, and lengua. The carne asada and lengua were super disappointing - dry and bland. The pastor was and cabeza were better, but nothing special. Appreciate the free potato with each order, and toppings included grilled onions, fresh onions and cilantro, salsas, limes, and radishes.

Taste is amazing. It's so tasty delicious fresh very healthy food, some of the best I've had.

My favorite and must have is the grilled chicken thighs! The chicken skewers are well marinated, a subtle touch of sweetness. The chicken thighs are tender, and perfectly grilled. The cost is $3 per skewer. Definitely worth a shot. The crepe is a great dessert option. It is $10 for 3 toppings. There are various topping options, fruits, syrups, salty, etc. The crepe is made in front of you. Another great sweet dish option is mango sticky rice. The sticky rice is well flavored with a hint of coconut, but the mango wasn't too fresh. There's no spot for seating, no chairs and no tables. Since it is a night street market, don't have too much expectation on the cleanliness. Bring your own napkins, hand sanitizer, etc. Vendor owners are friendly and welcoming. Zelle is accepted, but cash is more convenient. There's a free parking place in a nearby plaza. Recommend getting a try for some authentic Thai food in town.

The food cart specializes in blue corn quesadillas. The food cart has been around for 20 years and is now run by Alejandra's daughter. [Parking]: Metered street parking is available or just park at LADOT Lot 643. [Atmosphere]: Takeout only and our party ended up eating the quesadilla in my car. [Ordering]: One of the ladies took my order and another lady did the grilling. Once the quesadillas are ready, customers can add various condiments like cactus, mild salsa, red salsa, and cilantro. The cart is quite popular and our party had to wait approximately 15 minutes on Sunday at 6:15 PM. All quesadillas are cooked to order and the lady manually pressed every blue corn tortilla by hand. [Menu]: The cart offers chicken, pork, chorizo, squash blossoms (flor de calabaza), chicharrón, potato, and huitlacoche (corn smut, or the "Mexican truffle"). Customers can mix and match fillings like chorizo and potato. *** Squash Blossom Quesadilla ($8): The order came with an extra piece of skirt steak. This quesadilla tasted much better than I had expected and it was actually quite delicious. I was a big fan of the mild green salsa and it definitely enhanced the overall flavor. *** It was an unexpected street food find and I can actually see myself revisiting this food cart and try different quesadilla options whenever I am in the Echo Park area.

Especially since I've passed by this spot countless times and had no idea how much I was missing out. Located on Whittier blvd right by the Wells Fargo ATM. I was glad that it wasn't as busy as it typically gets so we were able to place our order quickly. Service was polite & friendly too. The menu here isn't big, but the portions are in my opinion. They sell churros by the bag (10 pc) so it's definitely ideal for sharing with someone. We ordered 1 bag of churros for $15 with lechera (sweetened condensed milk) on the side for an extra $2 and we also ordered a chocomil (chocolate milk) for $9. That was actually our 1st time trying chocomil and it was ridiculously delicious! It was thick, creamy, refreshing, had a nice subtle banana flavor and wasn't too chocolatey either which I really enjoyed. Last but definitely not least the churros alone were phenomenal, probably some of the best I've ever had in my life. I loved how irresistibly crunchy and warm they were, I almost didn't want to share haha. Everything tasted sooo yummy, this is definitely a new favorite of mine. If you're in the East LA area or just have a sweet tooth, do your self a favor and give Churros Don Abel a try. Looking forward to my next visit!

Located at RFK High School in Koreatown LA, this location was central and provided lots of space for food stands, food trucks, games, merch stands, drink stands, music stage, you name it. They even had a (huge) sneaker expo stand! I did not see any performers on the music stage, but they posted some content online and it looks like they killed it! Minzy from 2NE1 headlined the first night. I did not have a chance to see everything as I was with a group of people (takes longer to do virtually everything), but there was so much to see! The food I did try: Xing Fu Tang strawberry boba, yakitori yado mochi chicken skewer, kimchi rice ball, pork belly rice ball, thai basil chicken. Everything was good. It was busy! Get there early as by 7:30pm or so it was wall to wall people (some wearing masks, some not as they were recommended only). Had a great time - they have rebooted this event so well!
