Leo's Taco Truck

If you want one of the most popular types of tacos from one of the most popular purveyors, grab a couple of tacos al pastor ($2.50 apiece) from Leo’s. Your meat is either pulled from the plancha or else sliced from the hunk of marinated pork that’s flame-roasting on the large trompo, then topped with fresh pineapple shavings for a spicy and sweet charred snack. Leo’s now has a dozen locations, but it’s the gas station truck at La Brea and Venice that offers the reliably consistent outdoor trompos manned by talented taqueros on weekends and after 5pm on weeknights. On weekend evenings, crowds swell for a party vibe in the gas station parking lot.
