Finding the best tacos is hard, as it requires you to explore a lot of options. I put together a list of the Best Tacos in Los Angeles, and let me tell you, I fear the unknown, so I eat a lot of Chipotle.
21. Chipotle – Koreatown
This Chipotle has the worst tacos of all the Chipotles in Los Angeles. Still, I haven’t eaten at a place that can beat it..
20. Chipotle – Panorama City
This Chipotle is so deep in the valley, I almost excluded it from the list. But man, these Chipotle tacos are too good to exclude from any list of great tacos I’ve had.
19. Chipotle – Van Nuys
This Chipotle edges out some of the other Chipotles for one reason: pico de gallo. The Van Nuys Chipotle pico de gallo is so on point with it’s salty water taste, it gets the 19 position on this list.
18. Chipotle – Monterey Park
This Chipotle makes the list almost entirely due to it’s environment. The cold steel tables remind you of a doctors office, and the extra hard chairs make your ass go numb with anticipation of those sweet tacos.
