From WikiTacos, the taco encyclopedia · Taquería

Tamales Elena y Antojitos is a family-run food truck in Watts, Los Angeles, run by Maria Elena Lorenzo and her family, serving Guerrero-style tamales and fried barbacoa quesatacos.

Overview

Time Out lists the truck at Wilmington Avenue and East 110th Street in Watts and credits Maria Elena Lorenzo and her family with running it. The cooking draws on the Mexican state of Guerrero.

Tamales in the Guerrero style are the foundation of the business, while the taco highlight is a fried barbacoa quesataco, which Time Out includes in its list of the 33 best tacos in Los Angeles.

Coverage

The truck is one of the few Watts businesses to appear in Time Out's taco list. Its pairing of tamales with taco specialties reflects the antojitos (snacks) named in the business's title, a term for the street foods of Mexico.
