The Original Taco Pete is a gem tucked away in LA’s South Central! 🌮 I stopped by for lunch and ordered the turkey tacos with fries. The tacos were generously packed with cheese and avocado, making each bite a flavor explosion. The fries reminded me of the ones from World on Wheels - crisp and delicious!

While the atmosphere is laid-back, I appreciated the friendly service from Anastasia, who made sure I got my hot sauce. 💧

Definitely planning to try the pastrami burritos next time. Great spot for a quick bite without breaking the bank! Don’t forget to add it to your LA food tour! ✨
