I was at Guisados’ Echo Park restaurant just last week, but when my friend Tom and I came across the original location during a walk across Cesar Chavez Boulevard, I couldn’t resist another visit.

This time I went for a shrimp taco and a fish taco. The shrimp was served with a beautifully rich seafood stock sauce and slivered green and red peppers and onions. The fish taco came with the traditional sliced cabbage and salsa, and featured a generously large piece of perfectly grilled fish. Both were served on Guisados perfectly soft hand-made tortillas.

The staff couldn’t have been more pleasant and friendly, and we even met the owner, Armando, who showed us some of the backroom secrets that make Guisadsos such a high quality favorite spot.
