Tacos Arabes De Puebla

Boyle Heights·$

Taco Arabe

$4.50

Spit-grilled seasoned pork served on a thick flour 'pan arabe' tortilla.

Tip: This is the grandfather of the al pastor taco. The flour tortilla (pan arabe) is much more substantial than a standard corn tortilla.

Suadero Taco

$2.00

Slow-cooked, tender beef suadero on a classic corn tortilla.

Tip: The suadero here is the gold standard. Order at least three—they are small but incredibly flavorful.

Leo's Tacos Truck

Mid-Wilshire·$

Al Pastor Taco

$2.00

Spit-grilled marinated pork with pineapple, cilantro, and onions on a corn tortilla.

Tip: The al pastor is the only move here. Order at least five—they are small and you'll want to watch the carver's incredible skills as long as possible.

Al Pastor Taco

$2.00

Spit-grilled marinated pork with pineapple on a corn tortilla.

Al Pastor Mulita

$6.50

Two tortillas sandwiching melted cheese and plenty of spit-grilled pork.

Octopus al Pastor Taco

$9.50

Tender octopus marinated in al pastor spices and grilled.

Tip: Even if you don't usually like octopus, try this. The grilling gives it a meaty texture that works perfectly with the al pastor spices.

Taco Oriental

$2.50

The same spit-grilled pork but served on a traditional corn tortilla.

Tip: Try one Arabe and one Oriental to see how the different tortillas change the flavor profile of the seasoned pork.
