Yo L.A. Taco Members! I had another terrific home style chile relleno today at one of my favorite Cochinita Pibil spots, Mi Ranchito Veracruz’s new location on Melrose and Wilton. Go get this Chile Relleno and a free taco when you show your black card. Thank you for supporting! pic.twitter.com/oLVRVUV2Lb

What makes Veracruz-style empanadas and tamales distinctive is that the dough is made with masa (corn dough) rather than the traditional wheat-based dough, giving them a unique texture and flavor.
This place is open again, the website saying it’s closed is wrong. Also this place is great. Love the chile relleno plate and the jalapeño and cheese empanadas in particular.
