Got the chicken quesadilla and then the potato + chorizo (she added a little pork, which was a very good choice). Added the green sauce and a little bit of the red (more spicy) along with the cactus and queso fresco. She makes them with blue corn masa, which is sick. They were literally so fire. I've been looking for authentic food since moving out here, so I'm stoked to know I have something this good so close by. She was also so sweet and helpful. Willll definitely be backkkk

*** Cash or Zelle only ***…read more Alejandra's Quesadilla is a food cart located in Echo Park (more specifically right next to LADOT Lot 643 - 1147 Echo Park Ave). The food cart specializes in blue corn quesadillas. The food cart has been around for 20 years and is now run by Alejandra's daughter. [Parking]: Metered street parking is available or just park at LADOT Lot 643. [Atmosphere]: Takeout only and our party ended up eating the quesadilla in my car. [Ordering]: One of the ladies took my order and another lady did the grilling. Once the quesadillas are ready, customers can add various condiments like cactus, mild salsa, red salsa, and cilantro. The cart is quite popular and our party had to wait approximately 15 minutes on Sunday at 6:15 PM. All quesadillas are cooked to order and the lady manually pressed every blue corn tortilla by hand. [Menu]: The cart offers chicken, pork, chorizo, squash blossoms (flor de calabaza), chicharrón, potato, and huitlacoche (corn smut, or the "Mexican truffle"). Customers can mix and match fillings like chorizo and potato. *** Squash Blossom Quesadilla ($8): The order came with an extra piece of skirt steak. This quesadilla tasted much better than I had expected and it was actually quite delicious. I was a big fan of the mild green salsa and it definitely enhanced the overall flavor. *** It was an unexpected street food find and I can actually see myself revisiting this food cart and try different quesadilla options whenever I am in the Echo Park area.

If I was rating only the food, it'd probably be around a 2 or 3 for me. It was just very oily and heavier than I like. That's just my personal taste. The staff running the stand were genuinely kind, and they have a few tables and chairs set up if you want to sit and eat. The biggest reason I'm giving them 4 stars is because they're out there serving food at 2 in the morning. There aren't many places doing that, and I respect the effort.

There is no menu, but they do have a few dishes listed on their sign and on postcards. The woman who took my order and cooked didn't speak English. I spotted some fried plantains, fried chicken, fryers, a grill, and many Igloo coolers. Offerings include tostadas, fried plantains, chicken with potatoes, steak, garnachas, sandwiches, etc. I noticed some handmade tortillas or maybe pupusas? Two chicken tostadas ($10 for two): Two freshly fried corn tortillas topped with shredded lettuce, shredded chicken (boneless, skinless), sauces, and a celery and bell pepper relish. The chicken was tender and the sauces were good (not spicy). One was like crema, and the other was red and sweet. The tostadas were overloaded with lots of things - no beans or cheese like you'd expect. The tortilla was crispy and nothing was too salty or heavy. Tasty. I would have liked some spicy heat or hot sauce. They accept Zelle or cash. I didn't see any place to sit and eat, but she did ask me for here or to go (at least I think that's what she asked me). There was a covered table with a bench, but there were other things on the table. Parking might be hard because people park in the area to go to the consulate.

I'm actually not a huge fan of chocolate, but when I tell you that warm milk chocolate combined the pistachio cream, crispy kataifi & fresh strawberries made an absolute perfect combination. Everything tasted so phenomenal together, definitely worth the price of 15$ especially when I see it being sold for 20+ else where.

The clothes we wore that day were not formal enough (maybe we didn't look rich, hahaha), but this restaurant is not a formal high-end restaurant. The waiter's attitude was very bad and there was discrimination in his eyes. (It seems that this person does not speak Spanish and may be a small boss. After we had been eating, drinking and chatting for more than an hour, suddenly the waiter asked us to pay the bill? Why? I was very surprised. Is it because he was afraid that we would not order or pay? We decided to leave, not because we couldn't pay, nor because we sat and chatted without spending anything. Our bill showed more than 100 US dollars, and it was obvious that we had consumed something. Not a small amount! But we decided to leave because of this. The service attitude of this restaurant is too bad. Maybe someone wants us to leave. I wonder if the owner of this restaurant trains his employees in this way? So the waiter came over and asked us to pay the bill. Very bad experience! I will never go there again.

It's also really easy to clean up. The food is always scraped clean, no leftovers in sight.

Located at RFK High School in Koreatown LA, this location was central and provided lots of space for food stands, food trucks, games, merch stands, drink stands, music stage, you name it. They even had a (huge) sneaker expo stand! I did not see any performers on the music stage, but they posted some content online and it looks like they killed it! Minzy from 2NE1 headlined the first night. I did not have a chance to see everything as I was with a group of people (takes longer to do virtually everything), but there was so much to see! The food I did try: Xing Fu Tang strawberry boba, yakitori yado mochi chicken skewer, kimchi rice ball, pork belly rice ball, thai basil chicken. Everything was good. It was busy! Get there early as by 7:30pm or so it was wall to wall people (some wearing masks, some not as they were recommended only). Had a great time - they have rebooted this event so well!

They have lots of food vendors, not all the same as the typical 626 night market vendors tho. Venue is placed inside a highschool. The vendors are on race track, basketball courts, and good ol' lawn. This year (first opening after pandemic) they have less vendors than before. But place is jammed packed the later it gets. They have big seating area and nice spots in corners for you to sit on the floor tho. Ticket is $10 (plus service fee if you buy online). Parking structure is $18. You will have to walk, since it's in the middle of city.
