33. Sky’s Gourmet Tacos
Los Angeles / No. of units: 1.5
For the past 19 years, Sky’s founder and chef Barbara Burrell has sustained her eatery’s quaint, delicious fare—articulated as “Mexican with a splash of soul”— in L.A.’s Pico-Fairfax area. However, June 2010 saw Burrell expand her brand to four wheels, specifically with a vibrant fuchsia food truck that hit the streets to serve a smaller slice of Sky’s menu items: specialty tortas, burritos and, of course, tacos.
