Leo's Tacos Truck
1515 S La Brea Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90019
Al pastor off the trompo
Al pastor, off the trompo, with the pineapple. That is the entire point — the vertical spit, the caramelized edge, the slice of piña dropped on top.
Six between you at roughly $2.50 each. Split one California burrito. A large horchata or jamaica.
Work the salsa cart — the roasted red and the avocado-cream are the two that matter.
Open until 2:00 AM, and until 3:30 AM Friday and Saturday.
The call: a taco truck instead of a Beverly Hills restaurant on your first real evening together. Deliberate. Leo's is a legitimate top-tier LA experience, it sits directly on the subway line home, and it saves $150 that is better spent Thursday and Saturday.
If you would rather sit down: Il Pastaio in Beverly Hills, or Gracias Madre in WeHo.
