Eye Nosh: The Best Taquitos in Town
LAist Featured Photos contributor kpeII submits this Eye Nosh photo with a bold statement -- these taquitos from Cielito Lindo on Olvera Street are the best in town. Well, their website certainly boasts it and Yelpers seem to agree.
A couple years ago, LAist asked readers where to eat and a handful of commenters brought up Lindo. Even Pulitzer Prize winning LA Weekly foodie Jonathan Gold had something to say, even though it was about another restaurant:
La Luz del Dia, the cafeteria-style restaurant at the plaza end of the street, is one of the treasures of Los Angeles Mexican cooking, serving the kind of carnitas, hand-made tortillas, champurrado, stewed pigskin and fresh cactus salads that I suspect locals ate in this neighborhood 150 years ago.
Speaking of La Luz' champurrado, a type of atole, which is a hot drink popular in the winter, contributor Elise Thompson reviewed it in January.

"... a bold statement -- these taquitos from Cielito Lindo on Olvera Street are the best in town."
That is a bold statement. I'll certainly try them. My vote to date for the best taquitos in downtown, (possibly in L.A.), would be the taco stand inside The Shrimp Place, which is next door to Grand Central Mkt. at Broadway and Third.
Zach, if you go be sure to take one of your carnivorous friends to try them, their taquitos only come in beef, but they are piled high with lettuce, tomato, guac, cheese, and fresh salsa!

Great shot. I am loving this Eye Nosh deal.
