In 2010, The Taste of Mexico Association was created by LA’s top Mexican restaurateurs. Their annual food event attracts  LA’s best cultural tastemakers and influencers. I was lucky enough to attend their event this year, and the endless tacos, tostadas, tortas, and more were an absolute treat! Below are some of my favorites!

Taco de Chile Colorado from Candela Taco Bar

Squid Taco from Guerrilla Tacos

Taco de Chile Nogada and Taco Dulce from Loteria Grill

Al Pastor Taco from Dia de los Puercos

Guacamole and Chapulines from Cocina Condesa (Yes, those are grasshoppers; and, they were delicious!)

Tuna tostada from Ceviche Project

There were so many other notable dishes; its’ impossible to list them all! The music and marketplace at the event were also top-notch. I highly recommend keeping your eye out for next year’s event! For more information, visit http://www.thetasteofmexico.org/.
