8 Best Taco Restaurants in Santa Monica

“This place should be named a Tequila y Mezcal cocktail bar because their selection of both is impeccable. Fresh from Mexico I was looking for a place with similar vibes and this place definitely hit the spot. Make sure you turn in to give this joint a try. I’m looking forward to visiting again soon.“

“This place is phenomenal in every way - first off, the staff are professional, fun and friendly - at night the environment borders on a club atmosphere- the food is fresh, tasty and differentiated- my favorite part of this place though are the drinks and bar! Everything from the unsweetened ice tea to the cocktails are extraordinary and delicious“

“I love this place, i come here everytime i’m in SM. I always order sweet and sour tacos, they’re delicious, i like them so much that i made all my friends try it.i tried cocktails and mocktails as well and they’re delicious,The only thing i was really upset about was how filthy the restrooms were.I think it is very mandatory to keep that space as clean as possible, after i went to wash my hands i was literally so grossed out that i didn’t really want to eat anymore.“

“I have been following tacos 1986 on Instagram (joy tostada) and have been wanting to try his tacos. we planned a family vacations to California to try their tacos and they did not disappoint.

“The food is delicious. Great choice for birria. Unfortunately, the staff size is small, which means it takes a bit longer to receive your order. Also, the dining room is also smaller, so you may have to be seated outside or opt to take your order to go.“

“We were at the Santa Monica Pier with a big craving of Mariscos. Did a quick search and decided to walk there. Walking distance from the pier was about 15 mins. Best decision of the day. The food was amazing and we loved the service we got. Highly recommend stopping by and trying their cóctel de camaron, tostadas and basically everything on the menu looked really good.“
