The Border is Front and Center at This Los Angeles Taquería
When Taquería Frontera opened last summer in Cypress Park, I walked in with my baby tied to my chest and ate on my feet, swaying, hoping she wouldn't wake as I tried a taco al pastor. The tortilla was gently toasted in the crimson fat that dripped from the vertical spit. Still pliable, still intact, it held thinly sliced pork, lavishly spiced, frizzled to a crisp at its very edges, and the finest rubble of onion and cilantro. Then, it deviated slightly from the local archetype. Two salsas with competing interests moved through it — one creamy, white and mellow; one theatrically, radiantly hot — and they mixed in places, animating each bite a little differently. The baby wiggled, but it didn't matter. I was back at the register for more. Every day, there's an ebb and flow of movement across the border with Mexico as Tijuana remakes the appetites of Los Angeles, shaping its tastes from 130 miles away. When Tijuana-style birria de res took off a few years ago, it owned the algorithms, hyping demand for birria while reshaping its perception. And at Tijuana-style taquerias across Los Angeles, trompos spin and smoke billows, carrying the scent of carne asada. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Watch: California woman fills her hair with 711 golf tees
July 28 (UPI) -- A California woman who loves golfing broke an unusual Guinness World Record by putting 711 tees into her hair. Anya Bannasch, 45, earned the title for most golf tees in the hair when her friends spent 47 minutes helping her fill her locks with the small wooden pegs. "I've always dreamed of being in the Guinness World Records book, that's totally been a dream of mine. I wanted to create something around the golf world and thought this would be a great idea," Bannasch told Guinness World Records. She said her record was inspired by Joel Strasser, a serial record-breaker with multiple titles for putting objects into his beard. "Joel is definitely the G.O.A.T. of beard records. I followed his journey and I'm just honestly inspired by how unique, creative and funny he is," Bannasch said. "His creativity gave me the push to be like, 'OK, let's do something crazy too, I can be the golf girl version of Joel Strasser.' So thank you, Joel for inspiring me to do something goofy with my hair."
