Tacos Tumbras a Tomas is in the Grand Central Market in LA. For the most part, I hate LA but I might move there for this market. This is definitely the best carnitas I’ve ever had. My lady claims the same and so do many Yelpers. One guy even states “By far the best Carnitas I have had in my life, US or Mexico.”
So what you see above is a huge carnitas taco. It defies all other carnitas I’ve had. It’s not greasy but it is tender. It’s delicious and flavorful but not heavy. It doesn’t even need garnish. There seems to be some magical mixture of cilantro, onions, and spices in the meat. This is first taco I’ve eaten to get 5 sombreros! I think that calls for a margarita…
What you see below is an absurdly huge asada burrito with about 75 lbs of meat.

Beautiful meat selection
Another vendor, selling tons of peppers and spices
Where do you think flavor comes from?
Told you!! so happy you experienced it for yourself.
My awed expression over the display case of mixed meats sums it up! These carnitas took my obsession with pork to another level considering we gladly ate this enormous taco at 10am without trouble. My two loves finally met and for only $2.50 – thanks LA!
