About Al & Bea's

Watch on TikTok

Al and Bea Carreon opened their Boyle Heights stand in November 1966, and the pulitzer Prize-winning critic Jonathan Gold later called it one of the greatest of the Eastside's classic burrito palaces — high praise he didn't give lightly. The bean and cheese burrito is what people make the pilgrimage for: soft, pillowy, somehow revelatory in a way that defies its simplicity. At prices that have barely budged from the original, Al & Bea's represents the best of what an East LA neighborhood joint should be.
