The Great Taco Hunt has to be one of the most fascinating blogs based in Los Angeles. Not for its extremely focused nature for finding the best tacos in the area, but because of it's dedication to nothing but the most daring of venues one can ever visit when sampling Mexican food: the taco stand.
A late night staple, these tacos aren't for the faint of heart. Piled high with meats of various types and oftentimes of somewhat irreputable health codes, they have to be the best guilty pleasure of the late night denizen. They're best served after a marathon session of many alcoholic beverages, but they're also best experienced on an empty stomach and with a hearty appetite. Small in size, these little puppies will drop in your stomach like a brick after about an hour, but they're totally worth it.
My personal favorites are a carnitas taco and a carne asada taco washed down with a refreshing horchata. I'm still trying to perfect my own recipes for these dishes, with some limited success so far. The more sampling of tacos, the better. So I'll be keeping a good eye on the Great Taco Hunt for a while.

Mmm... food update. :) Can't say I'm a taco expert, but I surely love food stands. :)
Now if they could combine that with Google Maps, that would be sweet. The one stop shop for Taco goodness ...
I HEART tacos!
