This is the reason I miss living near L.A. you have every good food dish from every culture and being next to the Ocean helps make foreign seafood dishes taste very delicious and more fresh.
Born & rasied in L.A. been to almost all these places all amazing
If your a tourist, the more dangerous the area, the better the tacos. Don't aim for non traditional.
Yeah, that's the mentality to have, when you are a caucasian. Stay out of our barrios, our hoods
stupid stupid
@@awachili hispanic is caucasian
I know rt!?? The Best ones!
@@bornyesterday2994 its not new york it means spaghetti eater.
Thanks for reminding me why I love my city so much
Chris Zavala Glad you liked it!!

Awesome editing! Amazing content! I will definitely try em all out when I am in LA!!! Pls do more food videos😍
Just saw this video, a few years after the fact. I live in L.A., and you definitely hit some of the hot spots. I do realize that there's so much here, it's impossible to cover every cuisine. So can we just mention the huge number of Chinese restaurants in the San Gabriel Valley? From many difference provinces in China? Some of the best dim sum in the universe. Then there's a big Indian population in L.A., with restaurants in "Little India." You've got Thai Town and Little Ethiopia (injera, anyone?). Little Tokyo and Gardena for amazing, traditional Japanese food. The list goes on and on. Argentinian, Venezuelan, and Salvadoran food. How about food from Nigeria? We've got every ethnicity imaginable, and the restaurants to go along with it. Thank you, Jonathan Gold, for showing us how Los Angeles is one of the best places to eat out in the U.S.
everything except puerto rican .
@@slysoulja1861 Mofongos, in North Hollywood.
@@jackienaiditch7965 oh yeah i forgot abt that spot .. omw rn
Yeah I live on the edge of Arcadia........Chinese restaurants have totally taken over especially on Valley Blvd, Las tunas.....everywhere
Quick summary and delivery, not boring at all. good job. All the food looked amazing.
Os Arizona Thanks so much!
Cheers,
M
Super fun. Can’t wait for you to start traveling again and the return of your vlogs!
good luck with that
I live near LA and this was a solid run down! Finally a blog tour that doesn't include Pinks or In-N-Out. Both awesome but there's much more than that. Our Mexican food is the best here in SoCal. I'm coming for that mole!
Haha. Pinks hot dog are freaking amazing.
Food Pilgrimage... creative loved your video will definitely make my stops through town especially the ones Ive never been to. great video...
Sir you have the best food review if ever seen. Just wow. I could watch again and again
Great documentation! This video just pulled the trigger why I should book my tickets right now! Thanks man!! More power!
sniper zeroeight Thanks so much! Glad you liked the vid!
Cheers,
M
Your travel videos are the best!
Luiz Botton Thank you!!!
I love the lighting in this, makes it look like a professional made show from FOODNETWORK or THE TRAVEL CHANNEL.
Sammy Lane totally feels like a show on network television !!
Great video! It's clear a lot of passion went into it!
Thank you so much! I cannot wait to add all these places to my itinerary in Feb 2020!
I was particularly impressed with the lady in the breather trying to vidbomb forcing you to make a GENIUS CUT to a CLOSE UP.
The LC
LA!! I love you!! easy to talk shit about our home, but I'll always stand up for us! we're friendly, funky, and the food's awesome
Duck Grenadine Amen!

I love being born and raised in L.A. Best city in the world, the list is very accurate.
Indeed it is .
Not really...
LOL - great video - informative and so funny
Amazing! Thanks for this,. Can’t wait to try
Kat V Hope its helpful! Happy Eating!
Cheers -M
Amazed by how Matt comes up with so many Funny words
Tums up as usual
Long ago when I started work at Herald Examiner Newspaper, I would get my food at Grand Central Market then walk to Pershing square share a bench in the park with some good folk and enjoy my lunch! People were much nicer to each other in those days.
Thumbs up JUST because you remember the Herald Examiner!
Can't wait to try a few of these.
Portos bakery is one of my favorite spots. Everything is phenomenal and their tres Leche cake is to die for.
This video is so spot on
great video, by far the most underloved and underrecongised channels on yt. will be a happy man when I can say I was here from the beginning when your hitting the big sub counts. keep it up my dude
thepolarbearfromlost Thanks so much for the kind words! New vids coming soon!
You basically nailed all the right places in L.A.
As a Guy who's Half-Hispanic & lived here all my life i can honestly say you nailed it
Thank you for making this video.
I love his taste in food. I'm going back to LA!
Just want to say that a “Traditional”taco can be filled with almost any ingredients.
My late mother would make us tacos stuffed with potatoes ,eggs ,squash ,vegetables and chilies
etc.
She was from Chihuahua Mexico
renerincon1 Excellent point. Thanks for the comment:) And thanks for watching.
All the best,
M
Exactly.😸
Was going to say something about "White people when we see tacos that come with anything but picadillo".. Also.. White people not knowing what picadillo is. :p
Lies again? Long Ass Movies USD SGD
Matt! Thank you for ur advice, I traveled to nyc on december and I stoped by absolute bagels, xi'an famous foods, and difara's ... it was really very good!! Good job and keep on posting more videos! #love
Luz Selene Valenzuela Aguilera Thanks so much! Glad the NYC vid was helpful! But now all I want is Di Fara:)
I just want to take a second to drool over the awesome cinematography! You made crappy areas look beautiful and enticing.
What a video! One a the best i've seen so far 👌
amazing food .....
Incredibly high quality, super informative videos dude! Better than some channels with over a million subs! Underrated to the next level, Keep at it man
Liam Mullen Thanks so much! More vids coming soon!
I agree, first visit on this channel and the videography is pretty impressive.. Almost too good?
dannybflat Haha. Not really sure if I can step down the quality of videography ;)
Agree, maybe some bacon fat on the lens occasionally? I think directors did that in the 40's..
dannybflat Haha. Done:)
I lived in LA and you gave me some new places to try when I go back. I love your video it' was filmed well ,your cute ,positive and well educated and it shows .. Thank you. ..
ginogebhart So glad you liked it!
All the best,
M
I go to many taco places even through Boyle Heights and East LA. I was thrilled to see you single out Guerilla Tacos. I agree!
discovering LA Glad you agree! Love that place:)
Cheers,
M
Grand Central Market and the Grove’s farmers market are the BEST! Ugh I need to go on a food crawl in my home city now! 😋
Cassie Autumn Agreed:) I love those spots so much.
Happy eating:)
Cheers,
M
Langers for sure earned a spot here 💯
This was an incredible video.....very impressed. Subscribed!!!
ElmCityFilmTvReview So glad you liked it! Thanks for the sub!
Cheers,
M
Thank you can't wait to try next time visiting L.A.
Native Angeleno here, and I say this list is legit. Well done video too! Those crying about their restaurant or food spot not making the cut, there isn't enough time in a RUclips video to cover it all. Also, your palate probably isn't refined enough, so you wouldn't know the difference between good and bad. Additionally, just because a place has existed for 50+ years doesn't make it good. Taco Bell has been around since 1954 ;)
This is really well done dude. I'm a born and raised Angeleno and I agree with your list. Taste is always subjective but your list celebrates the international variety of the city in a very wallet friendly grouping. For those coming to LA for the first time, traffic is bad but not the worst (SF is worst rush hour now). Good strategy is don't drive distances more than 6 miles between 4pm-730pm, so do dinner or happy hour at this time.
Paolo Alfante Thanks so much! Glad you liked it! Appreciate the comment:)
Cheers,
M
Wow! your food in hand look like very delicious. Thanks for sharing
This is a great well put together video, Matt! Earned yourself a dedicated subscriber
xxxdepression Thanks so much! Really appreciate it!!! All the best,

Next time in LA, take a road trip to Le Chene, French with a focus on wild game. I love the Elk Chop. Its on Sierra Hwy on your way to Aqua Duce.
Matt!!! Awesome channel. I'm a first time viewer and loved your content. Los Angeles is my birth place and I now live in The suburbs of Philadelphia. But I must back up about three years because I used to live in Atlanta and there's lots of food to explore there as well. But let's move forward to Los Angeles. When I used to live in LA there was a place in Alhambra called "The Hat". I remember their massive pastrami sandwiches. Then there was El Tepayac serving these awesome burritos. One was massive called the Manuel Special. And lastly Tommy's ! It was my top bucket list stops. I hadn't had that in 10 years. Chili burgers by Tommy's. Fantastic. And the next one on my bucket list was In-n-Out
1BIG tuna Thanks so much for the thoughtful comment and suggestions! Cheers!
1BIG tuna El Tepayac is in my neighborhood. Tommys, The Hat hmm.
The Hat is still around in fact there are 5 or 6 of that I know of. Pastrami roast beef sandwiches there damn good and when you order frys it's enough for about 3 or 4 people especially when you order them as chili fries
When I used to frequent El Tepeyac, if you can finish the El Manuel, it's free. I'd usually get the Hollenbeck burrito and eat it over two days.
Impressed by your list - good job
msjinabina Thanks!
Cheers,
M
Your video was first on my search list and omg you're awesome💓
Sunnyside Up Thanks so much! Glad you like it:) Happy eating!
Cheers,
M
Good list man!
Austin Adams Thanks man! Glad ya liked it:)
I take living in L.A for granted, these foods look delicious
Schwarzer Try ‘em out! Lemme know what you think!
Cheers,
M
Cosigned! I wasn't expecting much when i clicked on the video, so I was really surprised and pleased with your picks. LA is huge, and this is a great starter list. I've eaten at 11 out of 12 of these places and they're all awesome! Nicely done!
peaceofwestphila Thanks so much! Appreciate the comment:)
Cheers,
M
Matt, thank you so much for this video it’s gonna help me a lot.
jabreu1993 grand central market is overpriced🙃
In LA, don’t forget the Chinese food section, from Michelin star Temple City Bistro Na to Arcadia 626 night market and food trucks in monterey park, J town Curry House, Marugame Monzo, try Traxx in grand central station where Blade Runner was shot, Union in Pasadena, wait 2 hours in line for Howling Rey fried chicken in China town, Wako Katsu pork cutlet in K town, better than Tokyo Japanese sandwich Echo Park Konbi and my favorite esquites from Corn Man in Lincoln Height, and oh yeah Vietnamese Phoholic in West Minister. Pink hotdog needs no introduction, right now Hollywood Yamashiro is serving blue luminous ramen, stop by Tao Asian Bistro for a drink and admires the beautiful decor. No budget issue, try $250 per person Culver City Vespertine food journey or Kyoto based Beverly Hills Tempura Endo.
😁
Langers Deli I recommend the pastrami chili cheese fries 👍. You take the red line to it but don’t be scared when you get off the exit 😂
My aunt lived on 11th and Union for 30 years West Lake neighborhood is one of the worst neighborhoods in L A.
Definitely doing another week in LA just for the food alone!! Thanks for the video!
cbjyajmommy - Glad you liked it! Happy eating!
Cheers,
M
Amazing video! Thanks 👍
David Perez Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Cheers,

The Parks Finest in echo park is one of the best Filipino style bbq in La! A total must try.
I've never had Filipino bbq until I went there, and I agree, very good.
Excellent spot!
LA Is definitely the absolute #1 US city when it comes to Korean BBQ
charly yoo Yep. So goooood:)
Arguably best the in world (including Korea itself)
Truth.
any suggestion?
not #1 but it does have good Korean bbq
Hi Matt, going to Amsterdam in two months found your video very helpful. You make great videos, wish you made more. Thanks.
jack straw Glad you liked it! More coming soon!
Cheers,
M
Why does this video give me so much joy😍😂😂
FROM LA - CAN CONFIRM, THIS LIST IS LEGIT
10 10 It’s always great to get positive feedback from locals. I’m not originally from LA, but I’ve lived here 11 years. Thanks for the comment!
How about King Taco 🤗 Best spot for late late hours!
Try Avenue 26 taco stand instead... trust me
10 10 Haven’t tried either spot...but now I have something to do this week haha
This list is exactly the same as every other LA list on earth.
You didn't show the line at Porto's that wraps around the block and takes at least half an hour to even order...
Yup
That's not the point the point is the FOOD
I frequent the one in Downey and the line moves really, really fast.
Don't let the long lines fool you.
@Mike Gunnerst false but ok.
Doesn't take that long stop exaggerating...
Hands down thee best ; most informative, well edited and mouth precipative food vlog EVER ! 805 So. Cal
NoDaUther1 Thanks so much!
Cheers,
M
Beautiful! Beautiful! Love this guy.
Omar Gonzalez Thanks so much!
Cheers,
M
this list is pretty accurate
So are you 😘
Great, now I'm hungry.
Have lived in LA all of my life and yes, I agree with all of these places!
Denise Moussawi Thanks! Always good to get the approval of locals:)
Cheers,
M
Miss Denise have u been to qll these spots,?
I love your posting! 🤗
Susan Soto Thanks!!
Cheers,
M
I have to say I've watched many food and travel videos but this is definitely one of the best. I had been in L.A. and was planning a trip this year until...yeah!
I'd just like to say well done. You and your friend have an amazing personality, great camera work and very upbeat and informative. Anyone heading to L.A. I've definitely showed them this. I also watched your Amsterdam video and have decided to go over next year when the world is better. Great job..Take care😀
A lot of these places are on bus or train lines. The other day, I thought I would save time on a Lyft instead of Metro from Mid-City to Union Station, but it took only 10 minutes less than going by bus and subway.
I really appreciate this as an LA resident of 21 years
ive never been out of canada before, going to LA next thursday! SO EXCITED AHH and i need places to go toooooo
Wish someone can do top 100 places to dine in LA. Because there are just so many great places to dine in.
What about philipes for the lamb dip sandwich it’s my favorite and across the way Olvera street for taquitos at cielito Lindo has the best in LA
Wow great fun video. I'm from LA but now travelling the world and this vid made me all warm and fuzzy. The only place I would add is El Coyote on Beverly Blvd. I've been going there literally decades. Amazing Mexican combinations in an over the top Mexi environment. My fancy friends think it's slop but my Mexican relatives love it. Still my favorite refried beans, and probably my favorite restaurant.
Thanks so much for this video. It’s great to have some tips on where to go. Can’t wait to try some of these on my trip to LA.
I also hope to make a little vlog of my trip.
Ester Rose Glad you like the video! Happy eating! And good luck with the vlog!!
All the best,
M
EL TEPEYAC in East Los Angeles is one of my favorites and it’s famous for its wet burritos
I got your wet burrito right here
@@melapelas4092 how old are you?
Its ok !
@@TigreJoe1994 you've tried my wet burrito?
Also known for the 5lb burrito challenge.
Apple pan, Johnnies pastrami, Randy's donut, Roscoes, Pantry, Sonoratown...
D Lawrence APPLE PAN!!!!
Blacks need not apply seems our cuisine doesn’t matter

Cheers 🍻
Mick Cotton Bar -B - Q Glad you like the video! And I’ll definitely check it out! Thanks!

For the cheap section you should have gone to 26th Ave Taco Stand. Their dollar tacos, and they are amazing.
My friends introduced me to this stand. They have the absolute best tacos I've ever had. I ate 9 of them! I couldn't stop.
Matt, thank you for posting this. Went to Guerilla Tacos today after watching your video and it was seriously delicious. Looking forward to hitting the other 14!
Gil G So glad to hear that! I love that place:) Happy eating!!!
All the best,
M
@@MattsTravelTips When you're in SoCal again, I highly recommend Vox in Fountain Valley.
Gil G I live in Los Angeles:) I’ll definitely check it out! Thanks for the recommendation!
Best,

Great suggestions and entertaining presentation!
Michael Gregory Thanks! Glad you liked it!!
Cheers?

I think everything is based on personal favorite, so many good places he totally missed out on
Philippe’s down by Union Station is a great place to get a great French Dip sandwich.
I’ve been there it’s bomb
Heck yeah I've had beef & lamb both good especially with their mustard
LOVED this video...you had me laughing out loud at your comments and facials... Thanks for the info :-)
Akimat DYeksihw Thanks! So glad you liked it!

Solid picks all around. Nice
big easy Thanks!
The hat pastrami , king taco , Philippe’s , boos cheese steaks , mulberry pizza , the pantry , dupars ,
folieros pizza. highland park .
vinny Nicholas haha my mom is obsessed with dupars
David Briones.today is a better tacos, all over LA , my favorite la cienega and Lennox, Friday night true, Sunday.
vinny Nicholas you don’t know nothing of street tacos
I've always found it hard to eat Mexican food in LA cause both my parents are Mexican. Also, whenever I was craving something my mom would pull the whole "food at home" bit, but I ain't mad she makes good food. Anyways, there is this Peruvian food place called Mario's it's on like Melrose and Vine. Also, I've been eating my rotisserie chicken from this place on 8th and western called pollo a la brasa, also owned by peruvians lol
Pollo a la brasa is the truth!
Natas are 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥I’ve been looking for a place to get them since I visited Portugal hasn’t been able to find it thank you for the tip 👌🏽
Karen Cortez Of course! They’re so good:)
Cheers,
M
Awesome video
