Lupe's Burritos
4642 E 3rd St
Los Angeles, CA 90022
Lupe's Burritos touts itself as having 12 kinds of burritos. The core of ingredients is just beans, cheese and carne asada. Where are all the other meats? My Cro-magnon carnivore self railed against the lack of carnitas, buche, lengua, cabeza, seso, pastor, birria, etc.
My order was the chicharron burrito because it was off the map. Even though it was novel, it still disappointed despite the spicy heat because what draws one to chicharron is the crunchy, crackling texture. It was like eating soggy potato chips burrito. To wash down the schlockyness of the whole meal and medicate my revulsion I had a King Cobra. King Cobra saves the day with a beer buzz.
Why does it seem most eating places close to the Metro are so bland and unexciting?
There are better alternatives:

They raised their health inspection letter grade to an "A" from a "C". Good reason to go and have a meal there. I had the #1. Good pho with all the usual extras of fresh bean sprouts, basil and sliced jalapeno chilis. The ones that go the extra mile have dandelion leaves.

Manny's El Loco
5161 East Pomona Blvd,
Los Angeles, CA 90022
I had the chorizo torta for lunch. Since its chorizo does that make it brunch? The chorizo torta was decent with good portions of chorizo.
Their menu even has an explanation about each food item. This is for all the pinche guerros who come off the Metro and need instructions on Mexican food. RTFM.

Los 3 Potrillos Carniceria
14920 Victory Blvd.
Van Nuys, CA 91411
Freshly BBQ whole chicken. This carniceria also has the same issue with LAFD, but not as often as Don Juan's.
