DTLA LIFE MAG #10 | OCTOBER 2014 | Page 18

The darling of Boyle Heights has hit the ground running with its third and newest outpost in the Spring Street Arcade. DTLA has no shortage of taco options, but father and son Armando de la Torre Sr. and Jr, with Ricardo Diaz have distin- guished themselves with their traditional recipes and hand- made tortillas. For the uninitiated, “Guisados” is Spanish for stews. The genius in Gusiados approach is the simplicity -- braised chicken, steak, fish and shrimp served with sides of rice and beans. Oh yes, and the price. Most tacos are $2,50, $2.75 for seafood choices. That would explain the line out the door. Hard core fans will be thrilled to learn breakfast menu was recently launched. Save yourself some trouble, and get in line now! GUISADOS (Spring Arcade Building) 541 South Spring Street #101m | Los Angeles, CA 90015 (213) 627 7656 www.guisados.co Photo Cinnia Finfer
