Today we visited Taco Mell in the historic Leimert Park!
Mell started out selling tacos on the street and worked his way all the way up to a restaurant! We love highlighting entrepreneurs in our city that have made it from the LITERAL bottom!
If you guys get a chance, check him and let me know.....where should I go Next??

I left Cali and LA area 2 yrs ago as I retired and moved to Texas however the food here overall does not compare to what you get in Cali and it doesn’t what ethnic joint you go to the food is tastier and better there. And Leimert is where you can and could always find the best of most food worlds is what I miss the most.

@vellabella1 5 ай бұрын

That is good to know. I heard Houston is the best spot for good in Texas. Houston boosts a city of 150 different languages. I hope the food is reflective of this. I am in Northern CA but really LA food is the bomb! 👍✌🏾

@thomash1268 5 ай бұрын

@@vellabella1 I have also heard that about Houston and I relatives there I live closer to DFW area and it just isn’t the same. Example In & Out is huge in Cali burgers are great always long lines no matter what city you go to I’ve been to in&out here twice and had to throw throw the food out as did my niece just awful. And crazy is there bbq restaurants in Cali owned by former Texas residents and the Bbq slaps off the chain but a couple of places that I have to here it just isn’t that good imo. I’ve talked to other transplants who say the same whether it’s Mexican or Chinese it’s not the same and not that good.

@Lita_213 5 ай бұрын

My sister bought a house in Houston a couple of months ago and I went with her to get her settled... I couldn't wait to get back to LA because the food there sucks in comparison. Even the so-called "authentic" Mexican restaurants that were recommended to us by actual Mexicans were HORRIBLE. We wasted hundred of dollars trying to find good food. Even the BBQ wasn't as good as we expected. Phillip's and Kenny's had them beat easily.

@abdulx549 it's a ring that you earn in a company called primerica, once you make 100k in one year you get a ring called the 100k ring, it has 10 empty slots in the ring and every time you income goes up 100k they add another diamond, 10 diamonds and you get the million dollar ring, but Mell has the 100k ring wich means he makes 6 figures.
