Tacos El Oso — Restaurant in Los Angeles

I wish there was a place like this closer to me. The interior and the ambiance isn't all that great but food is fantastic in my opinion I love how they chop up the meat so fine this way it's never tough and I like the way they spice that you can taste the hint of cumin in the...
