El Tepeyac (Los Angeles, CA)
Score: 6.5 / 10 Reviewed by: burritowizard (Los Angeles, CA)
For years El Tepeyac has been considered one of the best burrito joints in Los Angeles, it may be time to knock them off that hill. Famous for making the largest burritos in L.A., but bigger doesn’t necessarily mean better. Their burritos are large, expensive and generally impractical. A family of four can eat their giant $22 burrito, but why would they want to? Go to most other burrito stands and get everyone in their family their own burritos and walk away with for $18. And, burritos are not a great “share” food.
For burritophiles this place is guaranteed NOT to please. Don’t believe the hype. And, for vegetarians the place is doable, but nothing special. The menu is extensive almost exhaustive, with all sizes, prices and configurations imaginable (they even have a temporary Lint menu). Their salsa is disappointing, their hot sauce is O.K., but the place is always crowded. They offer table service inside or outdoor via window and picnic tables both are very slow. There is a charm to the place and it is an East Los Angeles institution. For anthropologists it’s worth the trip.
