This weekly Simi Valley sensation is part pop-up, part restaurant, part meme-generating Instagram sensation. Chef Logan Sandoval makes whatever the heck he wants, every week, from smash burgers to beef ribs and curry noodles to smoked housemate Spam musubi — and the fans can’t get enough. Expect fast sellouts, long lines, and lots of banana pudding for dessert. I loved the fact that the dry noodle dishes came with soup and we were served hot tea as soon as we were seated. The taco — with its tortilla shell stained red from being fried in the spicy grease skimmed off the top of the birria stew — is decadently crispy, beefy and cheesy. Dunked into the intense soup called consommé in which the meat was cooked, Cocina Cucamonga’s quesabirria taco could go head-to-head against the best quesabirrias in O.C., perhaps even rivaling those made in Jalisco, Mexico.

From the wildly popular quesabirria taco to a spicy hot link corn dog, the offerings found inside the younger park are a dizzying kaleidoscope of cuisine that spans continents, honors cultures and challenges customs. The so-called Cambodian Cowboy is an outright Long Beach sensation, marrying the flavors of his home country with the perspectives of Texas and the produce of California. It’s a heady blend that makes for some of Southern California’s most delicious and unique meals — think tri-tip bánh mì and heavily-spiced ribs. Find pitmaster Chad Phuong around greater Long Beach, popping up weekly at various breweries.

Visit for lunch and you might find this former Subway location filled with patrons huddled over steaming bowls of wonton noodle soup. Older men and women wander in from the cramped strip mall parking lot and walk directly to the meat case to inspect what’s on offer that day, sometimes staying, sometimes ordering a whole duck to-go. By-the-pound prices and specials are hand-written on a nearby wall, including duck feet, whole pigs, Hainan-style poached chicken, raw siu mai dumplings to steam at home.

This is a classic spot for saucy ribs, rib tips, chicken links, and more. The final phase of the redevelopment is a 25,000-square-foot food hall on the rooftop of the market space. Envisioned with Michael Soriano (Realm of the 52 Remedies, Queenstown) and James Denton Design, it will span a cocktail speakeasy and an international mix of food stalls. It would be hard to find a more coveted food item at Disney California Adventure than Cocina Cucamonga’s quesabirria tacos.

Despite ticking up $1 or $2 since its September opening, many dishes are around $13 or $14 and can be split or saved for a second meal, depending on your hunger. My friend Gary Okazaki, who first took me to Fortune last month, likes to order a two-meat plate with white rice, steamed bok choy, red-tinged cha siu pork and tasty roast duck that rings up at $15. Four large and filling barbecue pork buns were a borderline preposterous $8.

The best cone of all is the Chili Cone Queso for $9.99, which can be procured at the middle cone. But the most inspired add-on is an Asian slaw that is so spicy, it’s disorienting. At $13.99, which includes a side of garlic chips, it’s a filling meal that feels like you just ate at a taqueria and KBBQ in one sitting.

Burt Bakman and his Slab team serve up some of LA’s top barbecue, starting from a trailer in a backyard and moving on to become a top player in the smoked meat scene. Stop by for Monday pastrami, all-the-time brisket, smoked chicken, and ribs two ways. There are big expansion plans too, starting with the Valley and Pasadena.

Martin’s ribs are among the best in town, though his sides like greens and cornbread are essential for really experiencing the full Black Cat experience. There is nothing I’ve found online about what they will offer specifically—of course, noodles and meat are pretty obvious—but perhaps look to Kenny’s for some inspiration. This could be a really nice addition to this central part of Montavilla. Giant Gyros was a pretty popular spot in Montavilla, offering not only gyros but shawarma, falafel, hummus and baba ghanouj, soups, and a Greek Salad, among other things. At one point they had expanded to Tigard, but that also closed. The place was pretty casual, an easy place to get a tasty bite to eat, and I wonder if the new restaurant will continue in that vein.

In fact, it has been widely reported (my previous articles on the subject included) that the food at the resort is now just as much a reason to come as the rides. Hwang tells Eater that Shoo Loong Kan’s parent company is also planning to open a high-end Japanese barbecue restaurant as well as a boba shop at the Zion Market site. At Tokyo DisneySea, fans reportedly wait in line for hours to sink their teeth into the gyoza sausage bun, an oblong bao steamed to fluffiness and stuffed with a pork and veggie filling you’d normally find in gyoza dumplings. And now you can have it at the Port of San Fransokyo Cerveceria here at Disney California Adventure. And with the introduction of San Fransokyo Square, arguably the first food-centered themed land at a Disney park if you don’t count EPCOT’s World Showcase, you can spend all day eating and never taste the same thing twice. It’s no surprise that long lines snake out of Los Angeles barbecue icon Phillips Bar-B-Que, especially on weekends.

When it debuted a few years ago, it was such a hit that Disney imposed a rule limiting guests to two orders at a time. Today, at $12.49, it is still the star attraction at San Fransokyo Square. Walk around the vast eating district, and you see nearly every table with an order. Inside the restaurant, normal-sized pretzels dangling on a conveyor enter a glass chamber, get zapped and then exit as a snack-sized mini or a Bavarian-style behemoth. Fortune BBQ Noodle House opened this Friday, September 9th, at 18 SE 82nd Avenue.

There’s congee too, including tidy white bowls hiding cod, beef, cha siu or preserved or salted egg. Are those oily youtiao crullers as tasty as the ones at Kenny’s (8305 S.E. Powell Blvd.)? Is the wonton soup as nourishing as the one at the original Master Kong (8435 S.E. Division St.)? The skin-pricked pork belly as crackling as the version at Yan Zi Lou (2788 S.E. 82nd Ave.)? Perhaps not, though trying each back-to-back sounds like a fine way to spend a lazy afternoon. The most notable thing about Fortune BBQ might be the prices.

In 2008, a then-unknown chef named Roy Choi put Korean BBQ meat inside a tortilla and sold it out of a food truck he called “Kogi.” He didn’t know it at the time, but it would go on to make history and his fortune. Korean BBQ meat, as it turns out, never met a better partner than a tortilla. And in this writer’s opinion, there’s no better place to see this in practice than Disney California Adventure.

For her first restaurant, Wang hired a chef with experience in New York and Toronto, and is keeping the food simple. You can order poached chicken, roast duck or pork ribs for dinner at home, or have those same meats sliced through the bone and lined up atop a noodle soup or plate of white rice or dry noodles drizzled with oyster sauce. Los Angeles has arrived as a barbecue city on the national stage. Today’s scene is all about growth and personality, as newcomers mix with longtime barbecue restaurants across the region to create an eclectic, unique moment for smoked meat. Pitmasters are turning to family recipes from across the diaspora for inspiration, while the term “barbecue restaurant” grows to include pop-ups, backyard hangouts, garage setups, and just about everything in between. For this list Eater is looking only at the restaurant side of LA’s local barbecue ecosystem; there’s a separate maps for out-of-town barbecue places, too.

The restaurant occupies the once vacant storefront that previously housed Giant Gyros at the corner of E Burnside Street and SE 82nd Avenue. The first few days of operation brought in a steady volume of customers, depleting some of the menu items. While perusing the list of new businesses on the city’s website, I noticed a new restaurant, Fortune BBQ Noodle House. It had been registered with the OR SOS (Secretary of State), incorporated in June of this year. The address turns out to the be the same as Giant Gyros, which closed earlier this year.

Before serving Chinese barbecue duck and pork, Giant Gyros offered Mediterranean food from 2017 until closing earlier this year. Subway sandwich shop occupied this space for many years prior to that, and plumbing permits indicate it was once an AM/PM convenience store. Big, sticky takeaway platters of pork ribs and slices of brisket are the main attraction at Woody’s, a staple Southern spot that’s been cooking in South LA for a generation. Far from the delicate, salt-and-pepper-only Texas style of barbecue, this is a saucy place to get those hands reliably messy.
