1. Believe it or not, Yuca’s taco hut at 2056 N. Hillhurst Avenue expanded in 1978. Yes, really! The Herrera family bought the property and opened Yuca’s on April 1, 1976. In 1978 they expanded by adding the wooden patio awning where Soccoro Herrera sits to take your order. Fourteen-year-old Los Feliz resident Matthew Mohi helps with the carpentry. Across Hillhurst Avenue you can see Smith’s Food King where Albertson’s is now. (Courtesy Dora Herrera) |
