I have been searching in LA for sometime for a place that is both authentic Mexican AND vegetarian friendly (hard to do as authentic usually necessitates lard and chicken broth). As much as I love Chipotle, sometimes I am craving somethign a little less California-y and a little more real - the kind of place with orange tables and plain tile floor that offers up a burrito that isnt afraid to embrace its heavy bean flavor, with plenty of the salsa that you are a little afraid of. No frills no fuss. Just Yum. Taco Spot is the answer.
And speaking of salsa - a first class salsa-bar is a must. What makes a first class salsa bar? Well for starters they must have excellent pico de gallo. They must must must have a wide variety of salsa from verde to red to the really red and really dense spicy chili salsa. Tapatio bottles are always appreciated too. Cilantro and onions are to be expected. And don't even try and take your self seriously as a salsa bar if you don't have radishes or hot carrots. (Side note - not the best hot carrots ever, but respectable none the less).
Custom orders are welcome, but they probably already have what you want listed on the menu. Black or pinto beans available. Everything from soup/salads to burritos and enchiladas and tacos. Basically everything. And breakfast is served all day.
Its located in Eagle Rock and I highly recommend a trip out there when the burrito craving hits.
