Fodor's Expert Review Lucha Libre Gourmet Taco Shop

$ Mission Hills Mexican

Named for a form of Mexican wrestling, this taco shop with its hot-pink walls and shiny booths was famous mostly for its lack of parking until it appeared on the Travel Channel’s “Man v. Food.” Then long lines of burrito-crazed fans began forming outside the walk-up window for lunch; their North Park outpost is more spacious.

Don’t park in the gas station next door; they watch and will tow.
