Florencia 13
Florencia 13. Interesting choice of a restaurant name. Florencia 13 also happens to be the name of one of the largest Hispanic gangs in Los Angeles County. This gang got it’s name from Florence Avenue in LA and the ‘13′ came from it’s tight affiliation with the world famous MS-13 gang. If you don’t know about them, read up. They are some crazy dudes. So I suppose if this restaurant, Florencia 13, wants to have the same name as a really tough gang, let’s do the review like the tough gang of its namesake.
Yo, dis place be havin great nachos, right? They call it da Nacho Treche and be havin beans, cheeses, guacamole, pico de gallo, jalepenos, olives, and homemade green chile n stuff.
Me n my crew loved dis plate. Dat green chile was mad hot and mixed in wit everythin else so well. It was bangin. Lots and lots of toppings yo. Spicy too, word.
At F-13 (dats what I callz it) what do ya get? Well of course, da Florencia 13 Burrito son!
It’s be havin homemade green chile, beans, and a slow simmered beef. And yo, check it, it uhh…….*cough* cough*. Sorry, i feel dumber just trying to type that way. We’re back to normal now. Florencia 13 offers what is known as “Wet”. And getting this “Wet” means oven baking and topping with homemade sauce and melted cheese. You’d be crazy not to add something as awesome as that. Big fat burrito with lots of meat. Tons of gooey cheese and delicious spicy sauce combos for a great burrito.
The tacos are small, but overflowing with toppings.
Granted the tomato, cilantro, and onion was great, but the authentic corn tortilla and delicious meats brought this all together. Fresh and crispy were the two words constantly running through my head in each bite.
Florencia 13 is a teeny tiny place. It fills up really quick. I can’t even begin to imagine trying to go to this place on a Friday or Saturday night. Try going on a weekday, you’ll enjoy.
Don’t forget to add me on twitter @HurleyGraham. See where we’ll be dining next and up to the second thoughts on the food.

Hahaha! Not only are you hilarious, but as a former Los Angelino, I know EXACTLY what gang you’re talking about! I also know really good Mexican cuisine and those pictures certainly look appetizing. Thanks so much for sharing. As I plan to move to NYC later this year, I know I’ll be looking for some good, authentic Mexican food
I wish this place was in Los Angeles – looks delicious!
