Saturday is tamale day at Yuca's, as if you needed another reason to stand in the parking lot of a liquor store on Hillhurst waiting for your lunch to be handed to you wrapped in tinfoil and served in a brown paper bag. Having recently sampled the cochinita pibil at Loteria Grill and Chitzen Itza, I confirmed what I had been thinking all along--Yuca's does it best. Of course everyone knows this by now (they won a James Beard award a few years ago for gosh sakes), but sometimes it's nice to have a reminder, especially with a fresh hot cochinita pibil burrito (no beans please). Dora was nowhere to be seen on this particular Saturday afternoon visit. When asked where she was, Socorro said she's been so busy, preparing as they are to appear on the Oprah show on Monday. Set your Tivo, Oprah is coming to Los Feliz.
