Metztli Taqueria

There's no question: This pop-up is serving some of the most arresting and cheffy tacos the city's every seen—a bold claim in L.A., where tacos often mingle with other iconic California ingredients and cultures, but a true one. Crab tacos might involve a smoked-chili schmaltz, while the signature barbacoa tacos are topped with hibiscus-pickled onions and a phenomenal, lick-your-fingers–good miso peanut salsa macha. There are Nashville-inspired hot chicken mulitas and hoja santa quesadillas and purslane-sprinkled octopus tostadas, all worth an order. (Don't even get us started on their fresh churros.) Follow along on Instagram, and find them regularly at Melody Wine Bar.
