For true-blue foodies, Chori-man makes every list. A pick-up window slinging succulent sausage puts this sweet little San Pedro street on many a foodie-destination map. The hours are odd, and it's a long drive from Lawndale, but it's one I may never stop making.
They sit behind a closed door and a tiny takeout window, but they'll come right out to help you order if you need some help. I felt like family...maybe better than family because my family has never given me a Mexican Chocolate Horchata just for showing up.
And this Breakfast Burrito is worth showing up for. The South Bay's best burrito lives here, and it is filled with juicy red chorizo nuggets which have a uniquely sweet and spicy chile finish and good hit of garlic. Crispy potatoes bring the texture, contrasting the ooey-gooey runny eggs.
Chilaquiles Verdes are fun to try, but I like the burrito better. Get two if you must, but don't by any means miss the Tolucan green pork chorizo. The green is a godsend with aromatic herbs and earthy poblano.
The Chori-Wings are an obsession at only $17 for the dozen, red chorizo drippings clinging to the crispy skin.
Both the best burrito and the best wings come from this South Bay institution. I dare say Choriman is a must-stop on the road to sampling the South Bay's best.
