Los Originales Tacos Arabe de Puebla

This East L.A. taco truck run by the Villegas family provides one of the most unique tacos in the city: the taco arabe ($6). Influenced by 19th century Lebanese immigrants who immigrated to the Mexican city of Puebla, each thick flour tortilla holds curls of a distinctive shawarma-like al pastor that tastes faintly of cumin and marjoram—though the exact recipe is a deeply guarded Villegas family secret. Topped with stringy Oaxacan cheese and slices of avocado—a.ka. especiale ($7)—and paired with a tangy chipotle salsa, these super-hefty, super-delicious tacos are worth going out of your way for. Pro-tip: You very likely won’t need more than two.
