Black Tacos Are A Thing In LA

#290: Today we're doing one of our favorite thing on HTLA: exploting – and eating – LA's rich food scene.  Every heard of Black tacos? Or as some people refer to them: Black people tacos?  Well, they're a thing, especially in LA, and they are delicious. Think traditional soul food spices and braised meats with all the Mexican fixins' that Angelenos love.  We love our tacos here in LA, and today we're exploring the origins and evolutions of the Black taco. And we eat at Sky's Gourmet Tacos.  Guests: Veronica Daniel, LAist Studios intern, Deborah Freeman, food anthrologist and food editor for Style Weekly, Barbara Burrell, owner of Sky's Gourmet Tacos  Places to grab a Black taco in LA: Ms. Ruby’s Bakery 404 E Manchester Blvd # 1320, Inglewood, CA 90301 Taco Pete’s (has been serving the South L.A. community for more than 50 years) 12007 South Central Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90059 (the historic location) 3272 West Slauson Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90043  Alta Adams (try their jerk-spiced grilled plantain tacos for brunch)  5359 West Adams Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90016 All Flavor No Grease Food Truck  8600 South Western Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90047 on Manchester near Ralph’s.  My 2 Cents  5583 W Pico Blvd, Los Angeles, California 90019
