LOS ANGELES: La Playita


La Playita is serving up some killer ceviche and shrimp and fish tacos in Venice.  I would have to describe this establishment as somewhere between a taco truck and restaurant.  It is not mobile.  Hence, it is not a truck, but rather a stand with seating on one communal bench outside.  But the prices are not restaurant prices.  Only 4$ for a delicious shrimp ceviche brimming with juicy shrimp, tomato, red onion, cilantro, and lime? Only $1.25 for an awesome carnitas taco, the generous quantity of pork so very juicy, tender, and flavorful?  Anyway, whatever La Playita is, it is exactly what I want on a summer day with a side of beach and friends.

A stand? A restaurant? An immobile truck?  You decide.

*Plus, the guy called me Mija when I came up to the window to place my order, which is always truly heartwarming.
