Puebla's Arab-Mexican taco, a secret family recipe
Run by the Villegas family, this Boyle Heights taco truck serves one of L.A.'s most unique tacos: the taco árabe, born when 19th-century Lebanese immigrants brought shawarma to Puebla. Curls of cumin-and-marjoram-scented pork are wrapped in a thick, pita-like flour tortilla and topped with smoky chipotle salsa — a Jonathan Gold favorite.
