El Flamin’ is a taco truck with four locations around LA (be warned, they don’t open until 7 pm) and they have some pretty darn good tacos and mulitas.
I’m obsessed with mulitas right now (like a quesadilla except smaller and made with corn tortillas instead of flour) and not every taco truck has them, sadly. But they should. They should all have them.
The carne asada (chunks of steak) was not the most tender I’ve ever had but the Al Pastor (pork on a spit with pineapple) more than made up for it. Super tasty. Loved the selection of salsas too.
It was also fun to watch the dubbed over “Gone in 60 Seconds” while we consumed our food almost just as quickly.

Where exactly on Olympic and la brea? The renowned Tacos Leo is on the N/W corner, and the lauded El Chato is on the N/E corner, I believe. And what hours? Only at night?
This may be the taco center of L.A.
Tacos Leo is on Venice and La Brea, this one was on Olympic, at least that night it was. According to the El Flamin website, it’s on Vine now. And yes, they open at 7 pm, so only at night.
