Homestyle braises on thick corn tortillas pressed to order: tinga de pollo, mole poblano, cochinita pibil. The Boyle Heights original kept its standards here. Get jamaica or horchata and the six-taco sampler when you can't choose. Heated back patio, packed before home games.

Counter service, walk-insOrder at the counter and find a seat — no reservations. Seats are scarce at lunch and on Dodger nights; parking on this stretch of Sunset is worse.
