Cataloging a whole city’s worth of tacos isn’t easy.

Just ask Eater NY critic Robert Sietsema, who recently attempted to organize New York’s taco scene with the rather ridiculous subhead “L.A.’s Got Nuttin’ On Us!” As ambitious as his list was, what followed was a rather strange collection of tacos that don’t really exist in name, redundancies, and general misinformation. (I’ll skip going into detail for brevity’s sake). More concerning, though, was the fact that other New York journalists have been eager to equate the city’s rather modest taco scene with L.A.’s as well, as we saw with Ligaya Mishan’s New York Times piece last year. Maybe they simply don’t realize how vast our city’s taco culture actually is.

That’s why I decided to create L.A.’s first ever taco encyclopedia, or Tacopedia, to serve as a comprehensive guide for the many style of tacos that exist in L.A.
