Chile Verde in LA

[Burger Boy]

Who has the best? Had some this morning at Nick's and was wondering what else is out there.

Teresita's in East L.A. has excellent, and extremely spicy, chile verde: http://www.teresitasrestaurant.com/ (Caution, the website plays music unless you stop it.)

What kind of chile verde are we talking about? Most places in CA serve it on a plate or burrito, and it's spicy with little chunks of pork (usually browned first), in a spicy salsa. But there's the more mild, New Mexico kind served in a bowl, sometimes with beans, which is much less common here but worth seeking out.

I like the really spicy "first" kind but there are so many taquerias and Mexican markets that serve it, I can't think of a winner among the dozens I've tried out there. I've never thought of it as being worth driving that far to get, so where are you located? And, what's Nick's like?

If Burger Boy hasn't had it at Manuel's then I suggest it as an iconic spot to try it: http://manuelseltepeyac.com/

I have had it but never thought it was amazing, their Machaca on the other had is amazing!

Tonny's is pretty good.

Ipse, pretty good from you is not acceptable! I expect great recommendations. Where is Tonny's so I can try if I am in the neighborhood? Is it worth a special trip?

Thank You Servog, for some reason it would not show up for me, it kept defaulting to Tony's.

Had it once at Tacos El Charro and thought it was very, very good.
