Remote Surveillance Trailer in Redondo Beach, CA

REDONDO BEACH, CA — It's no secret that Los Angeles is home to some of the very best tacos in the U.S. Now, that fact has been backed up by Yelp with its crowning of one LA taqueria as the No. 1 best taco spot in the country.

Yelp's top pick — Birrieria Familia Castro in North Hollywood — is one of 20 LA County restaurants that appear on the site's Top 100 Taco Spots of 2025. The top 100 also includes Tigres Fuego in Redondo Beach.

“Our birria is a family tradition passed down from my grandmother, who learned it from her mother,” Birrieria Familia Castro co-owner Anthony Castro told Yelp.

The Castros' birria recipe is closely guarded. Yelp says the Tijuana street food — slow-stewed beef with consomé for dipping — continues to be a popular focus among its top-rated taquerias. It's No. 2 pick, New York City's Birria-Landia, has its own take on the dish.

And Yelp identified a less-familiar take on the handheld food as a rising trend in its list: vampiro tacos. The dish features tortillas griddled until charred, chewy and curled up like bat wings, then folded. The popular street food from Sinaloa, Mexico is particularly popular in LA.

Birrieria Familia Castro has them on its menu, as does Yelp's No. 10 spot — Mariscos El Chito in El Sereno — and at its No. 40 pick, Tacos El Vampiro in Sylmar.

Yelp's picks represent what Angelenos know to be true: The best food in the city can be found at a Michelin starred restaurant, at a taco stand on the side of the road, from a food truck, or in someone's garage.

Here's a look at the LA County entries in Yelp's Top 100 Taco Spots of 2025, along with their national rank:

The announcement also comes after a booster said he bribed parents to transfer their kids to schools, including Bishop Montgomery.

TORRANCE, CA — A South Bay high school football team forfeited its season Tuesday amid the fallout of an internal investigation and allegations of bribery.

Bishop Montgomery High School officials said in a statement Tuesday that the team would be forfeiting the remainder of games this season amid allegations that the school violated California Interscholastic Federation Southern Section (CIF-SS) rules governing transfer players. The announcement also came shortly after a team booster admitted to bribing parents to have their kids play for the school.

Five football players at the South Bay institution were declared ineligible this season, according to high school officials. They appeared to have violated a CIF bylaw involving the submission of false information, according to a report by the Los Angeles Times.

"We recognize the gravity of this situation, and we are deeply sorry for the lapses in oversight that resulted in violations of CIF-SS regulations," school officials said in a statement to parents and the Bishop Montgomery community on Tuesday. "We are instituting corrective actions aimed at ensuring compliance and preventing such issues in the future."

The announcement came a day after Brett Steigh, a booster and self-proclaimed gambler, went on a live podcast to talk about his role in helping some Southland high schools, such as Narbonne and Bishop Montgomery, secure transfer players by paying parents.

Steigh claimed staff members on these teams didn't know he was paying parents and would lie to them when questioned about new student arrivals.

“Everything I did, I did it on my own. I had no help," Steigh said during an interview on the FATTAL FACTOR podcast on Monday. "I take full responsibility for everything.”

Bishop Montgomery's president, Patrick Lee, denied any connection to Steigh, according to a report by the Los Angeles Times.

Bishop Montgomery school officials said they reported themselves to the CIF-SS and took "immediate action" to address the situation after finding out they had violated league rules related to transfer students.

School officials also announced that its football coach, Ed Hodgkiss, was no longer employed at the institution. However, it is unclear if he resigned or was terminated. For the time being, Mike Hall will serve as an interim head coach, according to Bishop Montgomery school officials.

"As the investigation is ongoing, there may be further changes to our varsity football program as needed," according to school officials. "Bishop Montgomery is committed to working actively with the CIF-SS and the Catholic Athletic Association to restore trust in our school and our program."

The Bishop Montgomery Knights had only played one game this season, which ended following a brawl against Hawaii's St. Louis High School, according to the Daily Breeze. The team had to forfeit its next game against Mater Dei, a football powerhouse and the No. 1-ranked team, after the school declared it did not have enough players for the game, according to the Daily Breeze.
