Description

This week on Taqueando with Bill Esparza, Bill sits down with LA Times restaurant critic Bill Addison for a deep, reflective conversation on the brand-new 101 Best Restaurants in Los Angeles list.
They dive into how the 2025 list came together, what it says about LA dining during one of the toughest years the industry has faced, and why the city’s chefs, workers, and communities continue to show unmatched resilience.

From neighborhood gems to breakthrough tasting-menu projects, Bill and Bill talk through the themes shaping LA dining right now, the evolving role of food criticism, and what makes Los Angeles one of the most exciting and creative food cities in the world.
