Los Hermanitos Tortilla Factory

Yo, this spot is FRESH! In every sense of the word. This taco counter is actually in a tortilla factory, hair netted ladies grabbing fresh ones off the conveyor belt, norteno blasting from a boom box. The vibe is real and it’s dope. Most importantly though, the $2 tacos are as good as a mythical, hole in the wall, gritty gem, taco stand taco should be. Double wrapped flour tortillas with sour cream, onion, cilantro, diced tomato, lettuce, lime, and a choice of chicken, steak, or chorizo. They actually have a banner showing taquitos and burritos and such but not really sure if they really make them, I asked once and they inferred ‘no make’ and haven’t bothered since then because I’m blind sighted by the tacos anyway. You can get them to go or stay, they do have a homey little set up with a couple long card tables and folding chairs although it can get a little loud, quaint as it is it is still a factory. Oh, and check out the little gallery i.e. some paintings by a crazy Mexican American painter hanging from the factory walls. This quirky spot is a much needed neighborhood respite from so many bland, tasteless, tamed-down ‘mexican’ restaurants in the city.
