Carnitas Los Gabrieles
Carnitas Los Gabrieles is a women-owned sidewalk carnitas stand on West Olympic Boulevard in the Piñata District of Downtown Los Angeles.
Overview
The stand operates in the morning and early afternoon in the Piñata District, a wholesale strip of party-supply shops south of Downtown's core. The Infatuation describes it as women-owned and notes that most cuts tend to sell out by early afternoon. Payment is cash only.
Menu
Los Gabrieles cooks pork in the Michoacán manner, frying it slowly in a large cauldron of lard until tender. Customers can choose among cuts including skin, snout, ribs and braised shoulder, or ask for a taco mixta that combines several. Tortillas are pressed to order. The stand appears in The Infatuation's guide to the 25 best tacos in Los Angeles, which singles out its carnitas as among the city's strongest.
