Handmade Tortillas Meet Carnitas at an East LA Counter
Choose chicharron or buche at Los 5 Puntos, where an East LA deli counter turns meat into hefty tacos and burritos.
🌮 Start at the Meat Counter
At Los 5 Puntos, lunch starts with the meat counter. Carnitas sit alongside chicharron and buche, giving you a few directions beyond a single filling. The kitchen turns those cuts into hefty tacos and burritos, with house green salsa earning its own following among regulars.
Handmade tortillas anchor this East LA deli and tortilleria. Tamales offer another option, and Mexican rice brings a distinct touch of char. The menu stretches past a quick handheld meal without losing its focus on Mexican comfort food. Choose your cut first, then build an order around the rest of the kitchen.
Find the shop at 3300 E Cesar E Chavez Ave. It is closed on Wednesdays, opening Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 8 AM to 6 PM and Saturday and Sunday from 7 AM to 6 PM. That earlier weekend start leaves room for a morning stop.
