Zoek een restaurant uit de MICHELIN Gids

La Azteca is an easy restaurant to find. Just look for the line of people snaking out of its front door. This modest counter-service operation has been serving hefty burritos from East LA for many years now. What’s their secret? Flour tortillas are made in-house every day in full view of the dining room and boast a kind of richness and chew that others don’t. There are nearly 20 different burritos on offer, but everyone comes for the winning chile relleno. The tortilla is cooked on a griddle and then filled—not stuffed—with slivers of sweet poblano peppers and gooey cheese. There’s hot sauce if you want it (you do) and a to-go bag if you need it (you won’t).
Tacos and quesadillas are also available but certainly not the main attraction.
