Bestia /Bavel — takeout available
Ori Menashe and Genevieve Gergis are offering four-course family dinners for pickup at their Arts District restaurants, priced at $49 per person. At Bestia there’s salumi, gem salad, ricotta cavatelli and Wagyu short ribs; Bavel has hummus, saffron rice, lamb neck shawarma and spiced apple cake.
Guerrilla Tacos — delivery and takeout available
Guerrilla Tacos in the Arts District is offering its full menu for delivery and takeout, including a $150 “emergency taco kit” that includes 10 pounds of meat, tortillas, salsa, beans, rice and four rolls of toilet paper.
Broken Spanish — takeout available
Chef Ray Garcia’s modern Mexican restaurant in downtown L.A. is offering tamales by the dozen, and salsas and lentils by the quart or the pint for pickup. It’s also launched B.S. Taqueria Tuesday Taco Nights to bring back the craveable tacos from closed taqueria. To quote the late Jonathan Gold: “tacos forever.”
Sonoratown — delivery and takeout available
The Burrito 2.0 is both a delivery godsend and a superb encapsulation of what makes Jennifer Feltham and Teodoro Diaz-Rodriguez’s downtown taqueria so special. The elastic, almost creamy tortillas are made from Sonoran flour and pork lard. Carne asada — short ribs grilled over mesquite and blitzed with a cleaver — is the meat of choice, though you can also opt for chorizo, chicken, tripe or chile poblano. Guacamole, Monterey Jack, sharply spicy chiltepin salsa and pinto beans round out the tidy package. Burritos (and smaller, equally wonderful chivichangas) also show up in “party sizes.” A meatless option includes grilled poblanos and spring onions with corn tortillas.
Tacos 1986 (also Westwood) — delivery and takeout available
2019 was the year of Tacos 1986. Jorge “Joy” Alvarez-Tostado and Victor Delgado grew their roving Insta-sensation — a stand selling Tijuana-style tacos and outfitted with an eye-catching trompo — into permanent locations in downtown and Westwood Village. The power move in the takeout era is the Perron taco, a once-secret menu item now openly listed online. Cheese sizzles on the griddle and fuses onto a flour tortilla; on top are beans, onions and a healthy slick of guac. To complete it, choose either carne asada or the restaurant’s inky mushrooms simmered in salsa macha.
