Tacos Villa Corona: Affordable & Authentic Burritos

Tacos Villa Corona offers affordable, smaller-sized yet rewarding burritos. A local favorite since the 90s, known for its smoky salsa and no-frills deliciousness. Featured on The Layover.

They offer morning meal all the time, yet if you’re in a noontime mood, choose a steak and bean burrito. A couple of years ago they switched their potatoes from diced to mashed, so I pivoted my go-to order towards beans (it’s a winning relocation).

Austerity and Reward

These are not the showy, luxurious pockets that dominate the cumulative burrito consciousness. They are smaller sized, bordering on austere, and definitely not camera-ready. However you would be hard pressed to discover an extra rewarding $6 meal.

Tacos Villa Corona’s Evolution

In the 1990s, the petite burrito shop Tacos Rental property Corona in Atwater Village had an eat-in counter, a bulletproof partition, and Craze Against the Device’s Zack de la Rocha and I were routine consumers (typically not with each other). By the time Anthony Bourdain blew up the area on The Layover in 2012, the inside seating was long gone, the area had actually mostly gentrified, and TVC had actually ended up being cherished by residents, celebrated for its calming, cost effective burritos and a great smoky chile de arbol salsa.
