Mariscos El Faro — Restaurant in Los Angeles

MÉXICO 🇲🇽 (Sinaloa) Eat the World LA review: The line of wind-bent palms on the north side of Figueroa set a dramatic scene under which the Mariscos El Faro truck has been living for half a decade now, with a front row seat to the changing character of the neighborhood. Unfortunately only the grounds of the Highland Park Recreation Center live on the other side of the trees rather than the Sinaloan paradise beaches in and around Mazatlán, but with mariscos dishes styled in the manner of that city, a park bench does just fine for focusing on tostadas and cocteles.
