Pozole stew in a red chili broth served with limes and avocado slices on the side. Rich, intoxicating mole sauce spooned over chicken with smoky pinto beans on the side. Meatballs served in a tomato sauce laced with the haunting flavor of chipotle pepper. The food at SILVIA'S PASTRY may not be what you think of when you crave Mexican, but it should be. The thing that really elevates Silvia's to the top of the heap is their homemade tortillas. Supple and fragrant, they're so fresh they burn your hands when you take them greedily from their foil wrapper. But it's worth it. "6065 S. Norcross Tucker Road, Norcross, 770-496-4550." less...

Twenty years ago during frequent visits to LA, I often visited a late-night taco stand on Santa Monica Boulevard, not far from Silver Lake. I stood at a counter outdoors and watched the nightlife while I ate perfect tacos. My usual impromptu dinner companions were two transgender hookers who called the taqueria their “safe space.” Yes, I frequently hummed Lou Reed’s “Walk on the Wild Side,” a... | more...
