But for reals, guys, there is an actual Venetian prince behind this truck. And he makes killer handmade pasta, among other things. It’s royally good.

You have not lived until you’ve had the Cheesy Mac & Rib. So if you have always felt an empty hollow deep in your soul, we suggest you try to fill it with grilled cheese.

We have seen many a mash-up concept go awry. This is not one of them. Nothing could be wrong with what’s essentially a giant sushi roll wrapped in soy paper. Pricey, but worth it.

L.A. is hard up for good bagels, which is why it makes sense for Yeastie Boys to try to cover the whole dang city on wheels.

There are a lot of L.A. barbecue trucks, but this one is our favorite, from the team behind DTLA’s Poppy & Rose.

We’ve been hitting this guy up since he was frying fish under an umbrella in Los Feliz. The digs may have changed, but the incredible, lightly-battered fish tacos are as good as ever.

Do we really need to sell you on lobster + buttery bun? It’s not the most frugal option out there, but hey, LOBSTER.

We get a cheesesteak ‘wit’ and bacon wiz fries. We suggest you do the same.

Handmade tacos set this classic asada slinger apart from the rest of ’em.

It doesn’t get much better than the jiggly, wiggly, slow-roasted pork from the gang at El Momo.

Go for the lamb barbacoa, huaraches, and tacos with wilted wild greens.

Leo’s has the al pastor game on lock. The ever present line here is worth waiting in.

Tacos Arizas or Taco Zone? It’s the Pepsi or Coke? question of the Eastside. We love both, but will give Taco Zone the edge here for its excellent buche.

Handmade tortillas and top-notch cabeza (yes, it’s what you think) bring the hungry and adventurous to North Hollywood on the regs.

Go for the Mexico City style carnitas here, only available on weekends.
