The Dark Side of the Cooks El Podcast (Alex and Elvia's podcast)
LA Times' 101 List (2022 edition featuring Evil Cooks)
00:00:02:22 - 00:00:35:01
Elvia
People tend to get really mad. People tend to get really mad when people try to innovate. a taco. They get so upset like, you can't. You can't call that el pastor because it's not this way. We have to evolve. Food is the same way. And, we're artists. We like to piss off your grandmother. Also, people who don't follow us or don't know us think it's like a third or fourth generation Mexican.
00:00:35:03 - 00:00:37:05
Elvia
And when in reality, it's.
00:00:37:07 - 00:00:50:07
Alex
An illegal who came here. There are people that are not used to change. And we're here to change their mind.
00:00:50:09 - 00:01:21:06
Jordan Haro
Welcome to the Prix Fixe Podcast, where the new voices in the culinary world share their stories in their own words. The show is produced and edited by me, Jordan Haro in Los Angeles, California. Ultimately, I will remove my side of the conversation and let the guests tell their story in their own words. After a combined 35 years of working in the culinary industry, Alex Garcia and Elvia Huerta decided to do something a little evil during the pandemic and thus Evil Cooks was born in their El Sereno driveway.
00:01:21:08 - 00:01:42:15
Jordan Haro
Evil cooks is many things at once. They describe it as new traditional Mexican food with an evil twist. That evil twist is exactly what drew me into them. The aesthetic of their project is dipped in a death metal sheen, with which they have a lot of fun with making their ‘Hell menu’. items like the Prince of Darkness burrito, Chila-kill-es torta
00:01:42:20 - 00:02:07:06
Jordan Haro
It's spelled k, I, l l, the McSatan bacon cheeseburger, taco, or with their reservations only kamikaze prix fixe menu. They also make my favorite taco in LA, their black pastor is truly something profound. But make no mistake, this is no marketing ploy. Elvia and Alex are world class chefs who chose to combine the high and low on their terms the way they want.
00:02:07:08 - 00:02:30:12
Jordan Haro
And despite their evil branding, Elvia and Alex are exceptionally kind people with a lot of gratitude for their recent success. Sitting down to chat with them is especially cool because they're my neighbors. They're in walking distance from where I live, which makes for a delightful way to spice up a dog walk when they're open on weekends. And if this episode resonates with you, give their podcast The Dark Side of the Cooks a listen or go eat their awesome food and if you get lost, just look for the giant Grim Reaper holding a scythe. Let’s listen in.
00:02:30:12 - 00:02:38:10
Jordan Haro
00:02:38:12 - 00:02:45:04
Elvia
My name is Elvia, born and raised in L.A. and co-owner of Evil Cooks.
00:02:45:06 - 00:02:54:03
Alex
Hey. What's up? My name is Alex. I'm the cook on the pop up. Evil cooks.
00:02:54:05 - 00:02:57:03
Jordan Haro
And where does your story begin?
00:02:57:05 - 00:03:01:12
Elvia
Well, it begins in Long Beach for Alex.
00:03:01:14 - 00:03:31:17
Alex
when I came from Mexico, I end up, living in Long Beach for a good 17 years. And I don’t know like, I've been in the industry for, like, a good time already. It's going to be, like, 20 years already in the industry. And, I always wanted to do something. Done by me, you know? And, I started drawing and I started a company called Evil Cooks, and it was just mainly shirts for cooks.
00:03:31:19 - 00:03:58:22
Alex
And from there, people already knew me and they started asking for food. So that's when we started doing all these crazy things. and call it same name: Evil cooks, the pop up. I'm from Queretaro, Mexico. That's in central Mexico, probably three hours away from Mexico City. Both sides of my family are bakers, and I've been working since I was five, in in the family business.
00:03:59:00 - 00:04:25:17
Alex
And I am, kind of rebel. I don't like the, the, like, precise things about, baking. So I was trying to do something else. So I started, like, being a selling bread in the streets to Mexico. And I really like to sell stuffs, you know, and, some of my aunts used to cook, like, for a living doing tamales, all that kind of stuff in the streets.
00:04:25:19 - 00:04:30:18
Alex
So I think that's where I picked up the selling on the streets.
00:04:30:20 - 00:05:00:04
Elvia
I guess I have like the opposite story, where it wasn't because my mom was such a great cook, it was because she did the same thing over and over every week. That made me want to do or want to learn something different. And I tried doing the whole college thing and it just wasn't for me. So, I remember seeing a commercial on TV about Le Cordon Bleu and I was like, fuck it.
00:05:00:04 - 00:05:33:15
Elvia
I told my sister, like, help me out. Help me like, fill this thing out. And and from there, it wasn't what it was or, I mean, I still loved it, but they, painted this whole different picture about the culinary industry that was not, reality. It was not reality. But, you know, I graduated, I, you know, I worked around the city and ended up, working at UCLA in their, kitchen mass production.
00:05:33:15 - 00:06:10:09
Elvia
And I was there for, ten years. And, I felt stuck. I was content, it was paying my bills. I was still cooking, but I wasn't truly happy. And, had been following Alex on Instagram for a while, and one day I just dmed him and I was like, I want to, like, pick your brain, right? I wanted to, get out there in the industry, find other cooks, find an inspiration to or find that spark of why I fell in love with cooking.
00:06:10:09 - 00:06:34:17
Elvia
And like, he did that, he told me the whole concept of evil cooks and know his shirts. And, you know, I stuck onto him like a piece of gum and still is. Yeah, I'm still there. And then, you know, people were asking for food, so I was like, fuck it, let's do it. And, I did it while working.
00:06:34:19 - 00:06:40:11
Alex
And then for a good year, chef working at UCLA. And you will cook long shifts.
00:06:40:11 - 00:06:56:21
Elvia
Long shifts and finally, I had the courage to leave it and fully, devote myself to evil cooks. And it's been it's been a blessing. The the way they sold it to me was like, oh, hell yeah. Like, you're.
00:06:56:21 - 00:06:58:18
Alex
Going to make this much money.
00:06:58:22 - 00:06:59:05
Elvia
But.
00:06:59:09 - 00:07:05:12
Alex
You're going to go out and be the chef and conquer the world when it's not the truth.
00:07:05:18 - 00:07:09:04
Elvia
But I was young and I didn't know better.
00:07:09:06 - 00:07:29:18
Alex
I think cooking school is really good when it comes to show you the basics. I didn't went to school, when I ended up here in the US. I ended up working in a kitchen as a dishwasher. So from there, I started, like, my process to learning. I used to go to the library to all these, places where they sell books.
00:07:29:18 - 00:07:59:22
Alex
I use read for free and, so basically I taught myself some things and some other things that I picked up from the, for, for from my friends in the kitchen. So I think the difference between, that and culinary school is that culinary school tells you, oh, you're going to do this and do that. They they're you selling you, but they're not a they're not putting you out there to the reality where you really experience and gaining the experience that they're promising.
00:08:00:00 - 00:08:13:17
Elvia
I've gained all my experience through through doing what we're doing right now. I feel like he's my mentor and he's taught me a lot, taught me things that I didn't really learn.
00:08:13:17 - 00:08:16:15
Alex
But it's still like I learned things from her like that.
00:08:16:15 - 00:08:17:21
Elvia
I, I think we go like, this.
00:08:17:22 - 00:08:23:21
Alex
Is the chance to learn, you know, like, in their culinary school.
00:08:23:23 - 00:08:27:13
Jordan Haro
so you DM'd him on Instagram?
00:08:27:15 - 00:08:30:18
Elvia
I slid into his DM’s.
00:08:30:20 - 00:08:41:00
Jordan Haro
And. Yeah. Like where? What? Walk me. How where did everything lead from? From the DM. Like, what was next?
00:08:41:02 - 00:08:41:12
Alex
We ended up meeting.
00:08:41:13 - 00:09:02:00
Elvia
Meeting we ended up meeting. Hanging around. Hanging out. he at that time, he was working at a restaurant, and they were doing a lot of, events around L.A. he's like, if you're down to, like, really do it, like for free. For free. I was like, fuck it. Like, so I, I stuck to him, did a few events.
00:09:02:03 - 00:09:25:15
Alex
Events, then then I started doing, pop ups in my house, like, prix fixe pop ups. And it was just mainly based on tacos, like, from, starter to dessert. So that's when I challenge her to do something I was doing already. A lot of dessert tacos, and I told her, “Can you be able to do a dessert taco?”
00:09:25:15 - 00:09:34:11
Alex
That's when she started putting her $0.02 into evil cooks. And from there, like you, when they.
00:09:34:13 - 00:09:58:11
Elvia
And that's when that's how the flan taco came about. it's totally different from when we first did it to what it is now. It's evolved. But I remember being in the back dock at work, smoking a cigarette and just thinking like, what do you like? Like what do you. I didn't know what a dessert taco was. That's so weird.
00:09:58:12 - 00:09:58:20
Elvia
00:09:58:20 - 00:10:02:00
Alex
All she knew was the choco chocolate taco.
00:10:02:02 - 00:10:26:19
Elvia
Yeah. So then I was like, all right. Like, everyone loves flan. Let's put a custard on there. At first I thought I said, creme brulee, Yeah, but we did the flan. it was on a chia tortilla, and then it still had the Polvorón on the coconut. The, zest.
00:10:26:19 - 00:10:47:15
Alex
From there tortillas have evolved a lot like we started doing something different called hybrid tortillas.. Yeah. When we start, like, mixing, corn and flour, that way, we get, like, I was saying, like, it's like a threesome between, pancake, a crepe and a tortilla. So that's what we wanted to achieve. And I think.
00:10:47:15 - 00:10:48:21
Elvia
We we got it
00:10:48:21 - 00:10:50:00
Alex
Got it. It.
00:10:50:02 - 00:10:53:09
Elvia
Yeah.
00:10:53:11 - 00:11:20:04
Jordan Haro
you already had the evil cook's brand going in some iteration before, but, like, what was the what was the idea with the pop up, like, where, where the. The branding, but also like, how it mixes it like them from the black pastor to like the metal, like everything that from the like the grim Reaper outside.
00:11:20:07 - 00:11:25:02
Elvia
So when we first started Evil Cooks, it was not what it is now.
00:11:25:04 - 00:11:45:12
Alex
No. Personally. Personally, for me, it was more like, I was already at that time, I was like 15 years in, in the, in the industry. So I was making money for a lot of people and giving my ideas for free. So I was like, you know what? Like, I'm tired of this. I'm tired of paperwork. I'm tired of being in an office.
00:11:45:12 - 00:12:02:01
Alex
I'm trying to be the chef. So I just want freedom somehow. And we didn't think that it was going to be like this. Like it has evolved since the beginning. At the beginning was like, let's just go to the market and find whatever we can find and make something out of it. Like it was like.
00:12:02:07 - 00:12:10:16
Elvia
So every weekend it was a different menu. The menus were never consistent. People complained. They're like, man, I came here.
00:12:10:16 - 00:12:12:04
Alex
For for the Taco.
00:12:12:05 - 00:12:25:09
Elvia
- that you had last week. It's like, oh man, but we have this today. Try it out. And they're like, all right. And it was constant, constant until I think it was 2019 when Chronicles came out.
00:12:25:14 - 00:12:48:07
Alex
Taco Chronicles came out on Netflix. So. So it was a really coincidence that my stepdad is from Yucatan, Mexico, and he taught me how to make Recado Negro. That's what we used for our marinade to marinate our pork and Taco Chronicles came out and they were using that. So we're like, oh shit let's do that as a special for Halloween.
00:12:48:08 - 00:13:10:06
Alex
Like it goes perfect with the theme of our pop up, and let's do it. And we reach out to the chef in Mexico who was doing it and asked for permission to do it here in L.A. he was like, go for it. So we started doing it then. People love it, so they start asking for it and asking them, asking and coming, coming back for it like more often.
00:13:10:08 - 00:13:11:16
Elvia
So then that's when we decided.
00:13:11:17 - 00:13:13:13
Alex
We decided to keep it in the.
00:13:13:13 - 00:13:18:21
Elvia
Menu and create an actual menu, a consistent menu. I think that's when it started.
00:13:18:23 - 00:13:42:22
Alex
Yeah. Now, now we have a set menu. we have actually it's two menus. We call it Heaven and Hell. we have, Hell is basically meats and heaven is, all the vegetables. So, now we have those menus, but we get created with our, like, fucking secret menu, the fucking secret menu where we can, like, get creative with something every week
00:13:43:00 - 00:14:11:09
Elvia
Yeah, we're like, our tater tots will do, our chilaquiles tots, which is instead of, the chips, we coat the tater tots with the salsa and put all the fixings on it. So it. Our secret menu lets us keep being creative without having to. Or with still pleasing people with our menu, but so giving us a chance to put something out there.
00:14:11:11 - 00:14:16:11
Jordan Haro
How are y'all, like, auditioning these ideas that we can, like, are y'all just like, oh, what if I do a.
00:14:16:14 - 00:14:17:23
Elvia
At night.
00:14:18:01 - 00:14:38:21
Alex
I don't know, it's weird. It's like an artist. Like, I consider cooking like an art. So, you know, when you feel like, inspired, you just write and write all these ideas and execute it. Next day when you you're in the front of the grill. And, that's how we do it. Basically. I tell her, like, I have this idea, I remember this flavor from my childhood.
00:14:38:21 - 00:14:42:12
Alex
Let me, let me make it happen. And and that's how it happens.
00:14:42:14 - 00:14:46:01
Elvia
Or just, during a shift by accident. Yeah.
00:14:46:02 - 00:14:54:16
Alex
Like we get hungry, we get we we make something and it happens. So basically, like anything good in life, they're accidents.
00:14:54:18 - 00:15:00:18
Jordan Haro
And so yeah, the black pastor is, is one of the main stays. what else is on the set menu?
00:15:00:20 - 00:15:10:03
Elvia
our green chorizo, which is made in-house. He grinds the pork. grinds all the, herbs, herbs. And then we have that and.
00:15:10:03 - 00:15:29:13
Alex
They have the octopus. The octopus people gets crazy with the octopus and we use the same marinade, just different protein. And what else? The chila-kill-es. people. A lot of people come from the chila-kill-es for the chila-kill-es burrito, chila-kill-es torta So I think that's, that's a must try.
00:15:29:15 - 00:15:31:22
Elvia
And then our new item our Megadeth.
00:15:31:22 - 00:15:32:15
Alex
The Megadeath.
00:15:32:16 - 00:15:33:13
Elvia
Which is like.
00:15:33:15 - 00:15:34:21
Alex
It's a 2 pound torta.
00:15:34:23 - 00:15:40:09
Elvia
2 pound torta. I wonder if someone's eaten, like.
00:15:40:11 - 00:15:43:11
Alex
I haven’t seen anyone.
00:15:43:13 - 00:15:48:12
Elvia
I'd love to see that though, because that's a monster. That's big.
00:15:48:14 - 00:15:52:21
Jordan Haro
Y'all have the operation out your house. How long have you been doing that for?
00:15:52:22 - 00:15:54:21
Elvia
It's going to be two years. In two years?
00:15:54:23 - 00:15:55:23
Alex
Two years in May.
00:15:55:23 - 00:16:05:15
Elvia
So I was, eight months pregnant when he's like, let's just do it out of the house. And I was like, it's better than having to go out there because, you.
00:16:05:15 - 00:16:17:22
Alex
Know, they're in pandemic. You have to be inside the house. And I was like, going crazy. I needed to do something to move around, to create something.
00:16:18:00 - 00:16:20:09
Elvia
So then he's like, let's make jam and sell it.
00:16:20:10 - 00:16:38:19
Alex
And we started doing our, Hibiscus Jam, and we started selling it at Sara’s Market and from our house. And it was doing good. from that I started doing mole from scratch. And and it was selling good too. So we're like, fuck it. Let's just put the tent out there and see if we can sell some tacos.
00:16:38:20 - 00:16:55:15
Elvia
Because he had been wanting to do it for a long time. And I was like, no, no. Like we live on a busy street. Eastern is like super busy and we live right on the curve. And I was like, people aren't going to stop. Like, if I had to park far, it's like, I wouldn't want to go.
00:16:55:17 - 00:17:02:19
Alex
But and that's the thing, like if you think about it like it's a park around the corner, like you have a lot of parking space.
00:17:02:19 - 00:17:03:03
Elvia
You could eat at the park.
00:17:03:03 - 00:17:08:16
Alex
Eat in the park. So it's a lot of good things about it. Yeah.
00:17:08:18 - 00:17:17:21
Jordan Haro
Just like for people who don't know, like whenever I tell people like, oh, “El Sereno” They're like, where? Like where? Describe El Sereno. describe where y'all live.
00:17:17:23 - 00:17:19:09
Elvia
I like to say “El Ser-ay-no”.
00:17:19:09 - 00:17:37:05
Alex
No, let me explain. I'm not from here. I just came to El Sereno because of her, so I never knew anything else. And I was the same way. Like people used to tell me. Like I'm from El Sereno - where’s El Sereno? I don't know where’s El Sereno! So it’s basically Northeast LA and I always tell people like the border with ham, Alhambra and-
00:17:37:05 - 00:17:42:20
Elvia
South Pasadena, what else? Lincoln Park. So you're at the end of the 710.
00:17:43:00 - 00:17:47:13
Alex
There you go. I always say 710.
00:17:47:15 - 00:17:48:09
Elvia
Cal State LA. So that's it?
00:17:48:11 - 00:17:48:18
Alex
Yeah.
00:17:48:20 - 00:17:49:23
Elvia
That’s El Sereno. Yeah, it.
00:17:49:23 - 00:17:51:18
Alex
It’s a small-
00:17:51:20 - 00:17:52:10
Elvia
Community.
00:17:52:11 - 00:18:01:05
Alex
Community. El Sereno. You see it from the map like it's a small community. That's why a lot of people don't know about it.
00:18:01:07 - 00:18:05:11
Elvia
But supposedly El Sereno was one of the first little communities of L.A.
00:18:05:13 - 00:18:08:21
Alex
I will describe it like you.
00:18:08:21 - 00:18:10:01
Elvia
I want to see chaos.
00:18:10:01 - 00:18:10:10
Alex
Chaos.
00:18:10:12 - 00:18:23:11
Elvia
Okay. When we like that peak at our peak of being fucking busy, the line literally wrapped around and went up the hill. That's that's crazy.
00:18:23:11 - 00:18:33:06
Alex
So it was crazy. Was like people were like, what's going on? Like, are they giving, free Covid 19 shots or what? Like some people say.
00:18:33:06 - 00:18:34:16
Elvia
They're like, yeah, like what's going on?
00:18:34:18 - 00:18:38:00
Alex
The test right there. And now we're selling food.
00:18:38:00 - 00:18:46:10
Elvia
And everyone was respecting, you know, the whole Covid mask. No one really got crazy.
00:18:46:12 - 00:18:55:23
Alex
No one got crazy. Probably we had like a couple incidents where like homeless, one homeless. I don't think he was a homeless. He was just standing in line with a machete in his hand.
00:18:56:01 - 00:18:57:08
Elvia
And people were like, oh man!
00:18:57:10 - 00:19:08:02
Alex
So, I think that was the craziest thing. Other than that, just probably crazy people stopping right in front, like telling us like, can you guys not use that language here?
00:19:08:03 - 00:19:13:22
Elvia
Oh, yeah. Because we have a sign that's right in front of our driveway. It says, don't fucking park here or don't stop here.
00:19:13:23 - 00:19:15:09
Alex
Don't park here. Don't be an asshole.
00:19:15:10 - 00:19:16:05
Elvia
Don't be an asshole.
00:19:16:05 - 00:19:17:22
Alex
Park at the park.
00:19:18:01 - 00:19:27:17
Elvia
Yeah. And this little old lady stopped and was like, you people are rude or I don't know what she said. I'm like, lady, don't stop. Like, keep going.
00:19:27:20 - 00:19:29:09
Alex
Yeah, we get a lot of that.
00:19:29:11 - 00:19:34:19
Elvia
It's a busy street. It's a little scary just because we live on the curve. And man, there's those crazy drivers.
00:19:34:19 - 00:19:40:01
Alex
Like, they they speed up there. Yeah. And you never know. We don't want anyone to get hurt.
00:19:40:03 - 00:19:50:12
Jordan Haro
I haven't seen a taco operation anywhere that is, like, so committed to like like like - the concept.
00:19:50:12 - 00:20:10:03
Elvia
Just wait. We have. It's about to get bigger, you know, or crazy ideas. Everybody is going to get crazier. I think it comes down to music. it's our taste of music. We listen, we we like the same type of music, but then I'm more into, like, the dark wave 80s. He's into his.
00:20:10:03 - 00:20:29:16
Alex
Like, now I'm older and I don't wear my vest every day like I used to. Or my black Vans But yeah, I think because, we love music. in high school, I used to play in a band. she used to play the bass too. So I think is because of that, like, it comes from our taste of music.
00:20:29:18 - 00:20:32:16
Alex
And still we like everything. But it makes it metal.
00:20:32:16 - 00:20:50:15
Elvia
It makes it easier to keep within the genre of what we are with our music and the grim Reaper. His name is Panchito. We give him a name. he had no face. It was just a black, you know, just.
00:20:50:17 - 00:20:52:02
Alex
Like he was a black face.
00:20:52:05 - 00:20:54:17
Elvia
No, they had no face was just like.
00:20:54:19 - 00:20:57:00
Alex
He’s like a devil or something, like, I don't know, we found it.
00:20:57:02 - 00:21:05:08
Elvia
But, we were at Home Depot, and he's like, I want that. And I was like. Like, no, dude, it's like another thing to put up.
00:21:05:08 - 00:21:10:00
Alex
And he was expensive. I'm like, fuck. Fuck it, I guess let's lower the panties and buy it.
00:21:10:04 - 00:21:15:11
Elvia
You know, but then you ask like, do you guys have another one? And the girl was like, that's the display one.
00:21:15:13 - 00:21:18:10
Alex
So we got a huge discount because he was a display one.
00:21:18:12 - 00:21:24:21
Elvia
Yeah. And he's like, well, I'll just take it down myself with the girl is like no like don't.
00:21:24:23 - 00:21:40:00
Alex
And we and they had mask of The Misfits laying around and I was like, I'm going to put it on like it goes perfect with the lettering that we use the misfits letter. And that's Panchito right there. And he's still there.
00:21:40:02 - 00:21:41:15
Elvia
We don't put him at home.
00:21:41:17 - 00:21:42:09
Alex
That often.
00:21:42:09 - 00:21:47:00
Elvia
But it's mostly at Smorg because, people like to take pictures with him.
00:21:47:05 - 00:22:05:01
Alex
We don't put it at home because, you know, we we set it up outside of them on the sidewalk and it's not enough space. So we're like, okay, I guess let's be respectful. Somehow we already occupied some of the sidewalk because of the lines, so we try to be respectful with that too.
00:22:05:03 - 00:22:22:05
Jordan Haro
But what I love to is, is like the mix of like, yeah, well, I guess maybe the old ladies are not getting is like the, the fun within. And like, y'all are obviously nice people and it's not like, I don't know. It's not like actually evil.
00:22:22:05 - 00:22:30:21
Elvia
On social media they will be like ‘they are Satanists’ they are this or that. And I was like, we do not promote or say.
00:22:30:23 - 00:22:31:11
Alex
We use.
00:22:31:11 - 00:22:33:03
Elvia
Like, it's just.
00:22:33:05 - 00:22:45:06
Alex
like a theme. like a rock band than like, look at Slayer.. This singer of Slayer is like so Catholic. And he sings all these lyrics. He's just like, like a brand. That's it. It's nothing else behind it.
00:22:45:06 - 00:22:49:10
Elvia
We are very nice people.
00:22:49:12 - 00:22:58:08
Jordan Haro
Not evil. Not evil. I'm curious what, like, I, I've seen pictures of, like, the lengua.
00:22:58:10 - 00:22:59:20
Alex
Okay.
00:23:00:02 - 00:23:00:12
Jordan Haro
00:23:00:12 - 00:23:01:07
Elvia
Oh god.
00:23:01:09 - 00:23:07:04
Jordan Haro
It’s up to your face. Like, what are some of these other ideas that have been like-
00:23:07:06 - 00:23:29:14
Alex
Like everything is referred to something in rock like that one. I was thinking about Gene Simmons, you know, like how they say that he got it in, cow tongue, you know? Yeah, exactly. Yeah. But now, like, everything refers to something in the music. Like, everything has to do something with music. Even though.
00:23:29:16 - 00:23:30:18
Elvia
a lot of our names.
00:23:30:18 - 00:23:58:03
Alex
Or names, like, we have something called El Asesino. it's, like it's a bad name. The assassin. that's how you say English? assassin. Assassin. It's, taco mix with black pastor and octopus. But these refer to this band, who used to play a long time ago called ‘Brujeria’. So we get to meet the, the guitar player, and, his band name is ‘Assassino’.
00:23:58:03 - 00:24:12:17
Alex
He also plays for his band. Is just another band called Fear Factor and we asked him if he was okay with the name. He was like, yeah, go for it. Like, that's badass. And that's why we have names like that. Like they're already there, but we just put it into food.
00:24:12:19 - 00:24:15:13
Elvia
Or our shirts. A lot of,
00:24:15:15 - 00:24:18:00
Alex
Our shirts are like.
00:24:18:02 - 00:24:20:13
Elvia
album covers. A lot of Metallica.
00:24:20:15 - 00:24:21:12
Alex
Misfits.
00:24:21:12 - 00:24:23:07
Elvia
Misfits,
00:24:23:09 - 00:24:40:23
Alex
Some of them are created by us, but still, like, a lot of, is referred to some, good records. We love metal records.
00:24:41:01 - 00:24:51:22
Elvia
How did the churro come about? It was just one one of those nights. We were a slow night, and we. We had cheesecake. Yeah, we had cheesecake. We had churro.
00:24:52:00 - 00:24:52:15
Alex
And we were like...
00:24:52:21 - 00:24:58:04
Elvia
And we had the strawberry jam. We just had everything. And we were like this.
00:24:58:04 - 00:25:11:15
Alex
And now we have two dessert tacos in the menu, the churro, the flan then that's what people ask a lot for. But like we, we, we have we been through a lot, a lot of them dessert tacos that we've been moving around.
00:25:11:17 - 00:25:13:04
Elvia
But I feel like those two.
00:25:13:05 - 00:25:15:21
Alex
Those are the favorite ones. Yeah.
00:25:15:23 - 00:25:27:00
Elvia
we did when we first started at Smorgasburg, we did the Ice Cream Alley and it was all dessert tacos. Dessert tacos. we had the,
00:25:27:02 - 00:25:29:21
Alex
night taco. It was like, peanut butter.
00:25:30:02 - 00:25:37:13
Elvia
With ice cream. Ice cream. We had the camote con leche, which is a sweet potato milk. What else did you have?
00:25:37:15 - 00:25:43:19
Alex
we had the choco flan. We had the arroz con leche. That's a rice pudding.
00:25:43:21 - 00:25:44:17
Elvia
We had a Gansito one.
00:25:44:17 - 00:25:49:21
Alex
The Gansito. That's like, it's a sponge bread covered with,
00:25:49:23 - 00:25:50:10
Elvia
Chocolate and.
00:25:50:10 - 00:25:58:11
Alex
Chocolate and jam and. Yeah, we had a lot of tacos going on, but still, like, those are the favorite ones right now.
00:25:58:13 - 00:26:00:01
Jordan Haro
So cool.
00:26:00:03 - 00:26:07:20
Elvia
We still have, we have a few. We want to bring them out, but, I don't know, it's hard.
00:26:07:20 - 00:26:11:07
Alex
Right now. It's like we don't have that much time.
00:26:11:09 - 00:26:32:14
Elvia
No, I think it's, we don't have enough people or. No, we do, but at the time, we didn't have enough people to really execute. Because if we're going to add another dessert, like if you're already busy as it is with the desserts that we would have a need for another person, it's just a matter of,
00:26:32:16 - 00:26:34:11
Alex
Getting used to train people.
00:26:34:11 - 00:26:42:05
Elvia
Train people were, multitasking more than what we have today. Yeah.
00:26:42:07 - 00:26:47:02
Jordan Haro
Yeah. I mean, what's what's your workflow like? Because you’re open-
00:26:47:04 - 00:27:00:01
Elvia
Friday through Sunday. But our week starts on Wednesdays, so we work Wednesday through Sunday. We have a four people five, five on Sundays.
00:27:00:03 - 00:27:15:21
Alex
Five and Sundays. Yeah. Like our crew has been growing because of people. A lot of people coming in and coming to try our food. So I think it's, the flow right now, like perfect. Like it's hard to find people who can adapt and, like, work with you and.
00:27:16:00 - 00:27:19:06
Elvia
Trustworthy because we just can't bring anyone in.
00:27:19:07 - 00:27:25:21
Alex
So it's really hard. But at the end of the day, like, I think we've been very lucky, very, very lucky to find the right people.
00:27:25:22 - 00:27:46:12
Elvia
Yeah. We had my sister in law join, join because she's like, she quit her ten-year office job. She's like, fuck this. The next day she's like, hey, so can I work with you Friday through Sunday? And at that time we were like, well, we need someone. And she offered, I was like, I don't know. She has no experience. She's been in an office.
00:27:46:14 - 00:27:49:00
Elvia
But that first day she took initiative.
00:27:49:02 - 00:27:53:14
Alex
And right now she's one of the best. Like, all of them are really, really, really good.
00:27:53:15 - 00:27:56:01
Elvia
But coming from someone who doesn't have any experience.
00:27:56:02 - 00:27:56:14
Alex
It's.
00:27:56:14 - 00:28:01:06
Elvia
Like I sat on my ass for so many years like, she's great.
00:28:01:06 - 00:28:01:23
Alex
She's great.
00:28:02:01 - 00:28:04:23
Elvia
Yeah, she's we're blessed. And then we have our tortillero.
00:28:05:01 - 00:28:11:15
Alex
He's he he he has experience and he's showing experience on every shift. Yeah.
00:28:11:15 - 00:28:13:00
Elvia
He’s great.
00:28:13:02 - 00:28:26:22
Alex
The black pastor is where he has to be. Like, it's just perfect. I want to say like, doesn’t need to change at all. Because, the, the hardest part was to.
00:28:27:00 - 00:28:27:11
Elvia
Have.
00:28:27:11 - 00:28:38:03
Alex
People not to show these recipes to people from Yucatan. They are from there. I had friends from there. They came to taste it.
00:28:38:05 - 00:28:38:22
Elvia
You were nervous.
00:28:38:22 - 00:28:46:14
Alex
I was nervous, and for them to tell me this is fucking amazing is like it was the best, the best feeling ever, you know?
00:28:46:15 - 00:28:48:07
Elvia
Although they did have one complaint.
00:28:48:11 - 00:29:05:00
Alex
Oh, yeah, they had one complaint because, the Recado Negro de Yucatan they use habaneros. And, it was in that spicy way. They were like, the flavors are there. Like they understand why we don't put habaneros because we have to-
00:29:05:02 - 00:29:05:08
Elvia
accommodate.
00:29:05:10 - 00:29:06:17
Alex
Accommodate everyone.
00:29:06:18 - 00:29:07:19
Elvia
Yeah.
00:29:07:21 - 00:29:11:13
Alex
Yeah. But other than that, they were like, everything's amazing.
00:29:11:15 - 00:29:14:17
Elvia
So. So if they approve - we’re happy.
00:29:14:21 - 00:29:16:01
Alex
Yeah.
00:29:16:03 - 00:29:21:15
Jordan Haro
Yeah. It's awesome. Do you ever have people that, like, come up and say like, oh, I'm from Yucatan and like.
00:29:21:15 - 00:29:22:04
Elvia
Yes.
00:29:22:04 - 00:29:27:16
Alex
Lot of people, a lot of people travel and they like, I'm coming from San Francisco, I'm coming from Las Vegas.
00:29:27:17 - 00:29:28:22
Elvia
My family's from-
00:29:28:22 - 00:29:48:12
Alex
My family’s from the Yucatan. And and we want to try. We just came here to try it and we're like, oh, sure. Like that's a huge thing for us. and they're happy with it. Like they message us after and they're like, oh my God, this is the best thing ever. So I think that's a really good, reward after after-
00:29:48:13 - 00:29:51:11
Alex
-when they tell you they they love it.
00:29:51:13 - 00:29:57:02
Jordan Haro
So how does the like division of work like, I know you said you're the owner and you're the the cook.
00:29:57:03 - 00:29:59:15
Elvia
He's the owner, too. He just likes to say that.
00:29:59:17 - 00:30:00:12
Alex
I’m the cook.
00:30:00:17 - 00:30:21:06
Elvia
And we’re both owners, we both cook. I do a lot of the paperwork. Hence why he left work. He didn't want to do that. but we both, I mean, I, I take care of my daughter while, you know, he preps, but when during work,
00:30:21:08 - 00:30:24:18
Alex
Like, we we both get dirty in the line and we both like-
00:30:24:20 - 00:30:33:03
Elvia
Like I'll jump on, on the flattop to give him a break, and then he'll. He likes to take orders. He likes to mingle and like.
00:30:33:03 - 00:30:55:04
Alex
To interact with people to make them feel welcome. Like everyone does it, like they already know. Like we're a small business and we want to welcome people like you. Like, basically they're coming to our house, you know, and welcoming them good. Like like I always say, like, now these days, like, personally, I think the the way you treat me, I treat you.
00:30:55:04 - 00:31:01:10
Alex
So I want to treat someone really good the way they treat this. Treat us good with their support.
00:31:01:12 - 00:31:11:01
Jordan Haro
Where is evil crooks heading to? Is it like still, you know, I know you said things are about to get crazier.
00:31:11:03 - 00:31:21:09
Alex
It’s going to get crazy when it comes to ideas to putting, things out there. but we not planning. Like a lot of people ask us if we're planning to open a restaurant. We don’t
00:31:21:09 - 00:31:23:21
Elvia
Or like why haven’t we.
00:31:23:21 - 00:31:31:10
Alex
Not yet. Like, we had the opportunity before, and probably we'll have it in the future. but still, I think Evil Cooks is uh, it's -
00:31:31:12 - 00:31:32:16
Elvia
It's meant to be in the streets.
00:31:32:16 - 00:31:55:22
Alex
It's meant to be in the streets. Be like pirates. like, I have a lot of experience with fine dining and molecular gastronomy, and I and I would love to execute that, but still on the streets. And right now we're we're offering something called the kamikaze menu instead of that omakase menu. It's called the kamikaze. And we we going to do that all you can eat.
00:31:56:02 - 00:32:21:20
Alex
But more fine dining tacos. So it's gonna be like, limited seating, seating space, used for. I think it's going to be like 12 people in one day, like six and six. And I'm going to try to do, like, a set menu of six tacos. But from there, I'm going to get creative after six tacos, if they keep eating, I'm going to get creative with whatever I have in the fridge.
00:32:21:22 - 00:32:24:16
Alex
So it's a challenge for me that's like -
00:32:24:16 - 00:32:27:07
Elvia
Keeps you on your toes. It keeps you getting more creative.
00:32:27:09 - 00:32:44:06
Alex
And still, like, people get to eat like fine on the streets, you know, So I think it's, that's pretty much right now what we have indoors. Like, we have a lot more things coming up, like with months that we cannot talk about, but still like.
00:32:44:08 - 00:33:00:13
Elvia
but I feel like we don't like to plan things ahead because nothing ever goes the way. The way you want and why be, like, be disappointed. So we are just literally going with the flow, going with the wind and like, right now see where it takes us.
00:33:00:15 - 00:33:11:17
Jordan Haro
So that's cool. Yeah. Because I feel like it's so many pop ups. They like just, you know, get that restaurant going real quick and then it's like a whole new batch of problems.
00:33:11:17 - 00:33:30:22
Elvia
See, like, our thing is, we want to build a solid foundation because if we go up too fast, we're going to come down even faster. So we're just trying to build up our clientele, build up our name, and, I don't know, maybe, we have something.
00:33:30:22 - 00:33:36:20
Alex
We have something separate from evil cooks. But I will say Evil Cooks is meant for the streets.
00:33:36:20 - 00:34:05:06
Jordan Haro
Yeah, I love it. I'm curious too. The, Like the taco. The taco is like. It's like, rarely like the the vessel for so much like, innovation. It's usually like. Yeah, you put like, whatever in it, but they're usually it is kind of like a product of tradition in a lot of ways. And there's a lot of different people doing little interesting things.
00:34:05:06 - 00:34:37:16
Jordan Haro
I feel like of like, oh, this tortillas, like real good. And like this one has this in it. It's real good. But it's like it's all usually for the sake of, like, you know, how are we going to just like, put like the same meats, like it's there's like a template. I feel like that's used in, like, I don't know if I mean, this is maybe a rhetorical question, but like, why has there been such like there hasn't if you're comparing like a tortilla to, like, rice, like the infinite stuff has been done with rice.
00:34:37:16 - 00:34:53:19
Jordan Haro
Yeah. Like or like flat bread, you knowl Like at Bavel, you know, that's just like, whatever with duck n’duja.. Or whatever, but like, yeah, the tortilla and tacos, it's like, I feel like there's just been less, like real crazy experimentation. Like what y'all are doing.
00:34:53:21 - 00:35:22:07
Elvia
People tend to get really mad. People tend to get really mad when people try to innovate a taco. They get so upset like, you can't you can't call that al pastor because it's not this way. But it's like food is. We have to evolve, right? That's how we've moved on from whatever, yet? It's evolution, and food is the same way.
00:35:22:07 - 00:35:28:06
Elvia
And, we're artists. We like to piss off your grandmother.
00:35:28:08 - 00:36:06:21
Alex
Like me coming from Mexico, a very traditionalist country. Like, it's hard because, when you have all these ideas, they're they're think you're messing up with, with the traditions. But they talk like that with, close minded, and they respect that. Like you, you can thing however you want, but I like to think with my open mind and, see everything, like evolution, like she says, like like even like, if you think about it, like, carnitas. Carnitas are very traditional from Mexico, but pork is not from Mexico.
00:36:06:21 - 00:36:16:21
Alex
Pork is from China. So think about it. Like everything we want, every, every good thing comes from a crazy idea. And we're here to prove it again.
00:36:16:23 - 00:36:18:18
Elvia
Like we became a meme in Mexico.
00:36:18:22 - 00:36:20:03
Alex
Yeah, we became a meme.
00:36:20:03 - 00:36:27:05
Elvia
And they slaughtered us. They took so much crap. Crap about us and oh, dude, we love it. Love it.
00:36:27:05 - 00:36:28:06
Alex
Like, have to get used to all this.
00:36:28:07 - 00:36:46:07
Elvia
We have to we we we got we learned to have thick skin. we learned to laugh. But we became a meme with our, vegan al pastor and our flan taco. Man. Our people, our people really try to put us down. But.
00:36:46:12 - 00:37:10:09
Alex
But it's okay. Like, at the end of the day, like I say, good or bad is good. Yeah. You have to use it. Use it right way. It's really hard because a lot like you say, it's a lot of, of the same thing out there. So it's really hard to set yourself apart of the rest. So that's when you start, like, creating new things and try to offer something different.
00:37:10:11 - 00:37:18:03
Alex
Not used when it comes to food, you have to offer an experience. And,
00:37:18:05 - 00:37:20:22
Elvia
I think we do it really well with experience.
00:37:20:22 - 00:37:36:23
Alex
And I always said it, I wanted to conquer L.A. because if you conquer L.A., you can conquer anywhere. Even I had done pop ups in Mexico and people love it. So I think it's a really good thing. So I, I don't know, like.
00:37:37:01 - 00:37:52:03
Elvia
Also people who don't follow us or don't know us think it's, I think it's like a third or fourth generation Mexican. And when in reality, it's,
00:37:52:05 - 00:37:55:05
Alex
And then an illegal who came here.
00:37:55:07 - 00:37:59:18
Elvia
You know, with all the comments that they say, but it's just.
00:37:59:22 - 00:38:06:03
Alex
It’s just people they're not used to change. And we're here to change their mind.
00:38:06:04 - 00:38:22:18
Elvia
But I think we're in the middle of evolution in the food industry right now in L.A. like there's so many crazy things, so many crazy restaurant chains, pop ups, and it's like a beautiful time to be around to eat right now.
00:38:22:20 - 00:38:48:18
Alex
Like, like, personally, I never I never tried to compete or do something different than the other ones. I tried to compete with ourselves at the end of the day, because we're we already have something set and we trying to do that a little bit better, that I think that helps a lot when it comes to creating, because you're not focusing on some someone else, success and someone else this or anything you.
00:38:48:20 - 00:38:58:06
Alex
So I think for us is like trying to trying to go ahead of ourselves somehow.
00:38:58:08 - 00:39:03:06
Jordan Haro
What is when you say you wanted to, to conquer LA. Like what? What does that look like?
00:39:03:08 - 00:39:08:08
Alex
I just want to show people what really good food is.
00:39:08:10 - 00:39:19:07
Elvia
I think we've conquered L.A. we got into the 101. That was something that, we never strived to. We never. I don't know if you like-
00:39:19:07 - 00:39:47:12
Alex
Like I said it before, I say. And when they did the interview for L.A. times and they asked us like the the, you know, the what the video was for in the picture session. They were like, no, like I didn't know at all. And they told us, like you is for the 101 and like, oh, shit Like I got like shocked because when I was in the industry of the restaurant, I was trying to chase that be the best being the best list being the other list.
00:39:47:12 - 00:40:03:18
Alex
And I think when you chat, channel yourself to find all this, it's a little bit harder than when you're not, when you're just focusing in why you're doing this is when all of the sudden it comes. And I think it's a better, a better.
00:40:03:20 - 00:40:04:08
Elvia
Outcome.
00:40:04:08 - 00:40:18:14
Alex
Feeling about it. So I think, it's still LA is huge. and still a lot of people hasn't tried food, and we want him to try it.
00:40:18:16 - 00:40:23:12
Jordan Haro
describe what is the 101 list for people who don't know.
00:40:23:14 - 00:40:26:11
Elvia
The 101 list? The 101 List was,, I think it was.
00:40:26:11 - 00:40:27:18
Alex
It was created by.
00:40:27:21 - 00:40:28:14
Elvia
People.
00:40:28:16 - 00:40:54:18
Alex
Was created by, Jonathan Gold. And he was, like a Boy Scout in the food industry. He was searching for the restaurants that he really liked. At the end of the day is the list of his taste buds. And he had really good taste buds, and they kept going these lists after he passed. And, they have really good writers, really, really good people who knows their thing about food.
00:40:54:18 - 00:41:16:17
Alex
So they scout around and they find every year 101 restaurants in L.A. It doesn't mean they're the best, but they're right now probably one of the the ones that are doing something different and they're bringing something different to to L.A. And for us is like really, really good because-
00:41:16:19 - 00:41:17:19
Elvia
We're not a restaurant.
00:41:17:19 - 00:41:23:09
Alex
We're not a restaurant. We're a pop up. it's a really great feeling.
00:41:23:11 - 00:41:28:15
Jordan Haro
There's always been like, a few, maybe, like, Mariscos Jaliscos or whatever.
00:41:28:17 - 00:41:30:04
Alex
But that’s a food truck.
00:41:30:09 - 00:41:40:13
Jordan Haro
Yeah, but never like. And also the sort of, like, bold experimentation that y'all are doing. It's like, it's really rad to see that like celebrated.
00:41:40:19 - 00:41:49:00
Elvia
But some of those things are from Mexico or, you know, like our, our, our cheeseburger taco.
00:41:49:02 - 00:41:49:13
Alex
Oh yeah. Right.
00:41:49:16 - 00:41:59:11
Elvia
That's a Mexican thing that they've been doing for over 30 years. Years. But no one's doing it here in L.A. So introducing that.
00:41:59:13 - 00:42:19:16
Alex
Introducing these little things that people haven’t had and give them a chance to try it some try something different. That's very very Mexican. But with that it Evil Twist, you know, like Recado Negro, Recado Negro. It's been since the Mayans and.
00:42:19:18 - 00:42:20:19
Elvia
It's an ancient recipe.
00:42:20:19 - 00:42:42:07
Alex
And bring it here and give that evil twist is something different, something even different that they if they go to Mexico and try it there, it's going to be a little bit different. They're gonna be like, oh shit, it's the same thing. But it's like another ramification of this original Recado Negro..
00:42:42:09 - 00:42:47:07
Jordan Haro
But people in Mexico are still like doing memes of y'all in a negative way?
00:42:47:09 - 00:42:49:06
Elvia
Yeah, but it's lately.
00:42:49:07 - 00:42:50:18
Alex
Not letting you use.
00:42:50:19 - 00:42:58:02
Elvia
It. Just here. Just here. But it's fun. It's all right. We're doing something right.
00:42:58:04 - 00:43:04:15
Jordan Haro
Yeah. Like it's like the Kanye thing. It's like the bad press is like. It's just press. It's. It's interesting.
00:43:04:17 - 00:43:09:23
Elvia
It gets you more out there, more people learn about you and more people love you. Yeah.
00:43:10:01 - 00:43:18:01
Jordan Haro
In in the community. Like, where is y'all's like, what is your read on like how y'all are doing with the like the regulars and like the.
00:43:18:03 - 00:43:18:22
Elvia
So a lot of people-
00:43:18:22 - 00:43:20:16
Alex
We have a lot of regulars.
00:43:20:17 - 00:43:26:10
Elvia
We have a lot of regulars. And we see them, at the grocery store. We see them at the gas station.
00:43:26:11 - 00:43:34:21
Alex
We have people that who comes every week, and if they don't show up one weekend, we're like, is he okay? Like, where is he? Like, we get worried.
00:43:35:08 - 00:43:41:05
Elvia
We have our loyal customers that are live around the corner.
00:43:41:07 - 00:43:48:04
Alex
even families who live around the corner and they use go by like, let me have eight tortas, let me have eight burritos.
00:43:48:05 - 00:44:22:23
Elvia
Yeah. Oh, I've known a lot of those neighbors for since I was a baby. And they've been supportive. no one's complained. everyone's been respectful and they're really supportive, which was a shock to me because I didn't expect this outcome. So it's nice.
00:44:23:01 - 00:44:52:08
Elvia
I can finally say I'm happy. like truly, truly happy. there might be little, little things around, but at the end I am content. I'm happy achieving, dreams and goals. And I'm thankful for him because we're doing it together. And it's something that your dreams and your goals as well.
00:44:52:10 - 00:45:19:06
Alex
Yeah. Something that personally I'm like, I feel free. I feel free from all these. I always say, like, I will never go back to a regular job. I just love to be free. we might not be rich. We might not be like, you know, like millionaires, but still, like, when you find happiness, that's where. That's what life is about.
00:45:19:07 - 00:45:48:07
Elvia
I didn't think, I don't know, I always thought about, money would make you happy. Like. Man, I see all these people with money. They look all happy. But, in reality, a lot of those are not happy. And we might not have everything. But having him my daughter and, like, our our our company, Evil Cooks like, I'm good.
00:45:48:09 - 00:46:06:12
Jordan Haro
That's awesome. Yeah, that's a pretty good place to land it. unless there's anything else that we forgot to mention in your story. Unless there's anything, like, crazy, crazy story. I mean, the machete guy. Yeah. I mean, it's amazing, but I don't know if there's any other crazy things.
00:46:06:14 - 00:46:26:14
Elvia
I mean, we haven't done anything. Oh, when was it? Two weeks ago. Some guy came. He was high on some gnarly drugs, and he got there, like, an hour early. Yeah. And, Maria was like, hey, dude, we don't open till five. He's like, all right. He came back. He came back an hour later. He was the first one.
00:46:26:14 - 00:46:40:22
Elvia
And he's like, let me have one of everything on the menu. And then she's like, all right, one of everything. And, I noticed him kind of weird. And I was like, he's like, let me have your fire salsa. I was like, sure, buddy, here you go. You know, he leaves.
00:46:41:00 - 00:46:42:20
Alex
He got a.
00:46:42:22 - 00:46:44:05
Elvia
Water. Also got a water.
00:46:44:05 - 00:46:48:15
Alex
And we serve, like in Mexico, like in the little plastic bags with your straw.
00:46:48:17 - 00:47:10:15
Elvia
So then, he started busting donuts in his car, like, literally right on Easter. And he stopped traffic, and he's going in circles with the bag of water in his mouth, and then he passes by. I'm like, be careful, you know? He goes and he starts busting more - uh, what do you call them? Donuts? And then he leaves.
00:47:10:17 - 00:47:30:23
Alex
So you get all these crazy stories when you're in the like. It's a lot of people like people out of town. they come from different parts of L.A. And they're not used to the area. So sometimes the police pass by like five, 4 or 5 cars the same time, and they just look around like, what's going on?
00:47:31:01 - 00:47:39:23
Alex
And I used to. I used to have to joke with them like, oh, you give good food and you give a really good show.
00:47:40:00 - 00:47:59:21
