Javier Cabral: When you come to — come have tacos,

you come just for tacos. You don't come for comfort.

You don't come for, like, any kind of restaurant amenities.

Joe Avella: We're at Avenue 26 Tacos in Lincoln Heights.

sometimes having  lines around the block.

I'll make the drive out here, from the Valley

all the way here,  just to get some tacos.

Joe: Javier from LA Tacos is gonna be joining me,

and we're gonna find out why Avenue 26 Tacos are so great.

We are in the neighborhood of Lincoln Heights.

They've been doing  this for a long time.

They've been doing  this for over 15 years,

Their taco is suadero, which is braised beef brisket,

I feel this spot fulfills the need of, you know,

when you have friends who don't know about this spot,

And it's hidden, it's not on the main street.

Everything from, like,  churros to esquites

So, usually when you see a flat-side grill like that,

they're usually gonna  have the standard,

Buche is, like, the lining around pork belly.

the general LA style of, like, street tacos

that started in, like, the '80s to late '90s,

and that style is  really iconic LA taco.

Joe: All right, you  wanna get some tacos?

is the swoon factor, is what I call it. Right?

Like, that taco euphoria that you feel when you get a bite.

So you get, like, a nice, tender, fatty meat.

a taco cannot be a good taco without a good tortilla.

But I also look for, like, uniform textures

There's a lot of little factors that account

into, like, the  overall taco experience.

Joe: So, just off the bat, while we're waiting in line,

like, what tacos are you thinking about getting?

Javier: So, I'm for sure gonna get the suadero,

'cause that's what  they're known for here,

Again, it's a braised  beef brisket in fat,

and it's just slow and tender, and it's delicious.

I'm also gonna get al pastor, 'cause you have to.

I like to call that a category F5 meat tornado.

Joe: Can I do the one that was your favorite?

And what was some other —  what did I miss?

Javier: Suadero. Suadero. Joe: Suadero, yeah.

Javier: And you know what? I'm feeling crazy.

Joe: How many did you get? Javier: I got four.

Joe: And I got four. Javier: Yeah, I got four.

Javier: Yeah, you can't  get any cheaper.

Joe: Yeah. This thing over here, it's, like,
