👋 OH HEY 👋

Mads here! You might still be stuffed from Thanksgiving, but I’ve got more food for you to eat. I recently went on this street taco crawl in East LA, and I don’t care if you’re new to the city or have lived here your whole life, you gotta experience this 🌮

We went to places like Tacos El Toro, Tacos Don Cuco, Tacos Árabes De Puebla, Tacos San Juditas, and more. If you’re looking for real deal tacos in LA, get a group together and make a night out of it.

Oh, and did you hear…OUR APP IS NOW IN THE APP STORE! Can’t wait to follow all of you on Camber 📲 We’ve been slowly releasing it out, so expect exciting updates soon.
