“Churro man is the best churros I've had here in the SFV. The churros are made fresh to order and they come out super hot and crisp. They aren't too hard and are soft in the inside. The individual that makes the churros is always super courteous, kind and is super cool. I usually come here every other Friday and always get the 7 churros special. They do have specials and they post up in different parts of the valley. Go to instagram and follow them @thechurromantruck“
“Came solely for the Al Pastor tacos and they were chef's kiss! CASH ONLY. Located in the parking lot by the gas station. A few parking spots available. No restrooms available (even in the gast station) You order your tacos at a smaller stand and then stand in another line to the food truck window to get your salsas and toppings (which are all pre-packaged) A couple of standing tables next to the taco truck for eating as well. The al pastor was juice yet tender, I always love the sweet pineapple component and then the avocado salsa was very good. The green salsa had a good kick and the red salsa had a slight smokiness to it. I dress my taco up with all the fixings so I liked the raw onions and pickles onions they offer too. Will be back!“
“Best fish tacos on the east side. Could eat them once a week. Made to order from a taco truck so sometimes you have to wait a bit. Wish they were there later but great for an early dinner or lunch. My favorite is the recommended shrimp and cheese one and soft shell crab“
“Great Birria Ramen. Loved that I could order it online and it was ready for me by the time I showed up. It was easy to find parking, and I loved having the option to sit there too. Did I mention that the Birria Ramen was great. Totally will go back“
“Best Carnitas in town!! I been going to el momo for 6 years and it’s the best!!! Just go try it! You’re not going to regret it ?????? it’s a family owned restaurant and the carnitas are the best!! Thank you to el Momo Family for the delicious carnitas ?????????“
“I planned on eating Ralphs sushi and stumbled upon the truck to give it a try. Ended up eating here two days in a row. What a gem! Very generous portions. Fresh food and amazing taste! I’ve never had anything like this. YOU MUST GET THE MANY. My friend and I were licking the plates. It’s like dumplings, but sooooo much better. The pilaf and Shurpa are also delicious and so filling.“
“Authentic street style tacos in an authentic atmosphere, tried more than one of each meat and everything hits the spot. The Horchata was fantastic and refreshing after a good meal.Would try a burrito or quesadilla from here on my next visit!“
“The menu is a delightful exploration of fresh, high-quality ingredients prepared with exceptional skill and care. From the succulent lobster tacos to the tender octopus, and the delightfully refreshing ceviches, each dish is a testament to the chefs' mastery of combining bold flavors and textures. While the prices may be somewhat steep, the quality of the food justifies the cost.“
“Los dorados are one of my top 3 taco spots in Los Angeles, their taco it's just crispy like my grandma used to make them and the salsas are delicious, they make you feel very welcome at their spot in el sereno and the ambience is just perfect, you get to dine just like in Mexico out doors and enjoy their delicious tacos“
“Bomb shwarma spot! Highly recommended. The wraps are filled with meat and delicious veggies. The sauces are very tasty as well. The size of the wraps are big and could probably feed two people. They also have dumplings that looked really good which I will probably try next time I'm there. Add jalapeños, it gives the perfect spice to the wrap.“
“This food truck was outside of paperback brewing - so so good!! I got the birria fries - amazing. So much meat, perfect amount of flavor- overall great. The guys in the truck were so helpful and kind. Overall amazing and will def be back to try other foods!!“
“Was really good food. I got the Asada Fries and my Girlfriend got the Nico Burger. Way better then we both anticipated and the employee who helped us was really nice and again the food was great. It is cash only though so recommend to find a place to get cash before heading there.“
“SOOOOO soo good!! Always look forward to stopping by whoever the truck is at. Highly recommend the Classic burger and also the Chicken katsu sandwich. Thé gorgonzola on thé burger is DELICIOUS. The veggies are crisp and fresh. And the sauces are homemade, so so delicious. A MUST try“
“I love coming to this little cart for some dessert. I really have enjoyed everything from the honey nut pancakes to my favorite cheese tayaki. I recently got the sweet potato cheese pancakes and yet again delicious! Staff is always very friendly too.“
“This is the best shawarma place EVER!! I don’t usually write reviews but this one’s worth it! The chicken shawarma and beef pita is absolutely amazing and delicious. And if you add fries right inside your shawarma it’s like so yummy I can’t even describe! You will not find shawarma like this anywhere in LA!!P.S. couldn’t take proper picture because was too busy eating my shawarma“
“Highly recommend this place ! I stopped in for my first time and the owner went above and beyond in making sure I had a good experience. One of the friendliest people I have met in awhile. I ended up trying the pineapple and blueberry with the oat milk soft serve topping and it was great. The texture of the ice is so nice. Definitely will be back“
Seafood • $
“Honestly probably the best mariscos I’ve had! I love the aguachile! The mariscos pieces are always plump and big, they really don’t skimp out on it. The owner is so friendly and willing to help you decide what to get based on what you like. The vibe is really chill with music always playing and tables to sit and eat at. Such a fun vibe. But the best thing about this place is probably the spicy red sauce. It goes good on everything! Seriously the star of the place, I crave it randomly all the time. Can’t recommend more!“
“Shrimply AMAZING!!!! My Buddy has been telling me about this place for years and it's right down the street from my office. Finally the shrimps aligned and I got my ass down to the truck. Service is good. Food comes out super fast. I started with 3 fried shrimp tacos and 6 oysters. Let's talk about the tacos. Perfectly fried, crunchy and the shrimp bits were chopped chunky and was mixed with some kind of stuffing. Avocado slices and salsa topping was perfection. The flavors blended perfectly! The oysters were delicious! I've never had an oyster w salsa topped with a slice of octopus or a whole shrimp before. Super hearty and delicious. It took away from the taste of the oyster, but still very very good. These tacos are so amazing I had to get another three. 6 tacos, 6 oysters and a jarriotos w 20% tip was about $40. I wish they had tables or something to grub on, but slamming these tacos down on red plastic stools worked just fine. Def coming back!!!“
“I’ve been looking for a delicious torta for a long time and I finally found the place! If you like fresh delicious food this is the place. The service is excellent, they answered all my questions and explained their menu. I created my own sandwich with some recommendations from Johnathan who was awesome. This is by far the best torta I’ve ever had! It was so good I was back a couple days later for another! Wifey ordered tacos and they were amazing as well. The flavor and freshness of the meat is what sets them apart. No old meat being served here. Definitely my go to spot for delicious fresh food!“
“The seafood here is so fresh! The service was great also. We were constantly checked on to ask if we needed anything. We were so happy to find this gem after a long night of drinking. We will definitely take the long drive here to eat again.“
“Very impressed. Super clean. Super friendly staff. One of the better tacos I have ever had. Lot of varieties. Six different salsas. Unlimited side dishes free. fresh drinks. The meat was very juicy. We had carne asada and beef tongue and brisket and chicken.“
“I can safely say I've tried the majority of their pizzas on the menu, and they're all amazing. The Estrella is my personal favorite. They have a couple of great vegetarian options like the cheese & spinach that's a for sure not to miss.The staff is always friendly and just an over all great experience.“
“The El chato Taco Truck is hands down one of the best spots to visit if you're in Los Angeles and hungry for tacos burritos or quesadillas. Family owned and run the Abuelita is still running the show and works the Grill every weekend night. Prices are very affordable with tacos costing $2.50 and burritos starting at $11 to $12. PRO TIP: ask for potatoes when picking up your order and DON'T FORGET TO TIP.Parking: El chato sets up nightly (wed - sun) in the parking lot of a body shop so parking is ample. If it's busy parking is available on side streets.“
“Went to the truck on West Sunset Blvd AND WOW. 10000 stars. This is one of the best tacos I've ever had. The flour tortilla is top notch. We had the asada tacos and they were delicious. I'd drive hours for these. Totally worth a trek if you don't live nearby.“
“Great spot food was delicious from the burritos to tacos. From the usual carne asada,chicken, chorizo and the al pastor. Let's not forget the tripas crisp. Portions are perfect and nothing hits a late night bite to eat. Clean and very professional. They take cash and card. They also have Aguas frescos and soda can. Oh let's not forget the loaded papa. Huge bake potato topped with cheese, and any meat you want and any other topping.“
“¡En primer lugar, Jairo es el mejor que hay, un hombre muy agradable y un gran servicio al cliente! ¡En segundo lugar, empecemos diciendo los mejores tacos de la historia! No voy a ningún otro lugar aparte de mis tacos de Leo tan buenos como si tuviera antojo de algunos ahora mismo. Me encanta este lugar, lo recomendaría 5/5The atmosphere is dope too not to spooky great spot to get tacos safely“
“La La Lasagna is to die for and if I was dying, I would want this as my last meal. I'm not being hyperbolic when I say this is my favorite food to eat *ever* and I have a child-like giddiness when I have the chance to stop by this truck.Chef Michelangelo is the nicest man on the planet and I'm happy to give him all my money. Do yourself a big favor and RUN to get some.“
“It is hard to get to the restrnt right now due to construction, the fact there were people there testifies to how popular it is. My wife got the thai crepe, it was really good! I got the beast, loaded with meatp; but I would still have preferred the thai crepe too! Orders are done at the counter and brought to your table.“
“Was getting out of planet fitness and was super super hungry. Couldn't wait till I get home since it's about an hour away. So came here to see the menu. I was more intrigued with the $7 hotdogs, so I wanted to try it. I also added Avocado since I am obsessed with Avocado. It was AMAZING!!!!! It was love in first taste lol. I had also ordered one chorizo taco with red sauce and it was the bomb!!!Hotdog (1st photo) and Chorizo taco (2nd photo)“
“The al pastor nachos are the best nachos Iv ever had. The chips were perfect, al pastor had flavor and I really enjoyed them. The shrimp tacos on the other hand I’d never get again. The tortillas fell apart and the shrimp wasn’t that good. But I’ll definitely be back for the nachos.“
“4+ Considered one of the best by many or at least one of the most popular taco spots in Los Angeles. They have a good variety of items and meats, but I would say they are most known for their al pastor (marinated, spit-roasted pork that is usually served with a slice/ chunk of pineapple). The service here is pretty efficient since they have to be - there's almost always a line. The vibe: depending on the time of day or night you come, it's usually a mixed group of people wanting to try this spot, people eating after a drinking session, or just people looking for decently priced tacos. One of the times I was here, I was standing behind Dante Basco (Rufio!), haha. Usually a fun vibe for sure. My usual here is two tacos (typically the al pastor) and a mulita. It used to be that there was a toppings and salsa bar where you would dress up your food. Not sure if it's because of the pandemic or people taking advantage and taking too much stuff home, you now have to go to a separate window to ask for the toppings and salsa and they're individually packaged. I definitely think this place is worth going for the al pastor. I myself have been here multiple times. Parking can be tough, but if you are going during the week there's usually parking along the street facing south on LA Brea right around the corner. Just be careful though as it is a relatively high traffic area and some people seem to drive recklessly in this area.“
“Listen.. The Candy Apple flavor? It’s SOOO GOOD! Skip hard candy and go straight to getting candy coated grapes with peanuts. turns it into such a salty sweet mix. I’m from NJ but i am going to come back just for this mix! And don’t get me started on the service, everyone was so kind and nice and patient if you want to try different flavors. As a college student, the amount you get for the price you pay is SO GENEROUS!!“
“I discovered this truck on a trip to LA. I pretty much had tacos from places every day I was there. There are many great Tacos to be had, but something stood out about this truck. Great price, great tacos, and some funny conversations with the other customers. Can't wait to be back. For a late night fix. This is the place.“
“Hey you guys I'm back with another review. Los Gatos Tacos was very much on point. Yall know I like delivery too so this time I ordered delivery. The driver did pissed me off because they sat my food in front of the door with no call or knock, but I was eyeing the app because I was hungry. It was around 730/8pm on a Saturday when I ordered. Anyway it arrived still hot and ready to eat. I spent like 60.00. I got the 3 queso birria tacos with the consome 3 asada tacos, the birria quesadilla and the tapatio birria ramen. It was so delicious you guys I dipped the tacos in the consome and it was ?... the ramen was very good the birria was seasoned very well. I almost drank all the consome ? ? had to save some for my kid, so I suggest if you like dipping and sauce like me get extra consome for sure. I will be dining in this restaurant very soon.“
“I asked Vegan AF to cater an event for about 50-60 diverse people and Chanel killed it. Our guests said they would be fully converted to veganism if it meant eating her hand-fried crispy wraps stuffed with a flavorable combination of vegetables and faux meats. This is really important to my family who tease me for being vegetarian.She showed up early so we had time to organize things in the party room to best serve her needs and the flow of the event. The pink containers and branding made sure that everyone who loved her food would be able to find her. There were a lot of designers, so branding was important.Most importantly, Vegan AF complimented the community festival vibe of the night. I look forward to eating Vegan AF again and again as many of the guests that night. Thank you, Chanel.“
“Found this on a search, the food off the truck was off the chain. From tacos with guacamole plus everything else to vampiro the taste was delicious & authentic. As we drove up we witnessed customers eating on their vehicles, so when in Rome do as the Romans. I haven’t eaten on a car since my teenage years, and there I stood at 60 being the old wild one of the bunch. Excellent food, a must try for both residents & travelers!!!“
“I have been a face painter at Mr. Bones pumpkin patch throughout the month of October, and almost every day I’ve been there, I got lunch from the Maravilla truck. They are incredible!! Everything I tried was delicious, and the seasoned fries were a personal favorite. They are all so friendly too. Face painting at the patch is definitely a high pressure job, especially when it’s busy, and Maravilla really helped to keep my spirits (and energy) up the whole time! Thank you Maravilla for everything!!“
“Once you've tried their tacos, you'll be back. We can't get enough of their food. Every time we have visitors in town we bring them here and they leave craving more. (as do we!) These guys have mastered the art of cooking all the different meat options they provide. You can also get burritos, and quesadillas. This taco stand is by far one of the best I've ever been to. A must try!“
“The food her is absolutely delicious! The prices are fair, the portions are great, and the salsas are divine! Their tortillas are hand made and everything is cooked to order. 10/10 highly recommend!Vegetarian options: Quesadillas, beans, rice, Aguas FrescasKid-friendliness: My daughter loves the quesadillas. They are always so full of cheese with the best kind of stretchy cheese.“
“If you like Mexican seafood, you will love Mariscos Linda. Even though it's a food truck, this location has an indoor facility to enjoy your meal right in front of the truck. I had the small fish taco and the agua chile tostada. The taco was really good and the agua chile was about a 9 spicy, juat the way I like it. Loved it and will definitely be back.“
“Found this spot on the map, tried it out and it was a hit from the start! Lots of options, everything is cooked on spot, handmade tortillas. The aqua frescas are delicious, the food even better! 20/10 recommend! They are all very nice here as well. New lunch spot.“
“I LOVE this place for a quick bento pickup. Reminded me of the Broken Mouth (cheap eats that create food explosions in your mouth). Salad dressing is like crack. All the dishes are amazing. Support small businesses like this one. They deserve it!“
“Always an Excellent choice Every time Im in East Los I swing by Grab my self campachana tostada. Add a little spice to your life and get it with hot sauce on top. My kid gets the pulpo tostada. Always tender and fresh. If you ever stuck on Interstate 5 It's worth The wait Get yourself a cocktail or tostada today.Parking: Find a spot in front of the rear of the truck. Come early because he gets busy.Kid-friendliness: My 15 year old loves this placeWheelchair accessibility: Definitely easy access. Plenty of space. To maneuver.“
Italian • $$
“It is authentic Italian food. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. When Italians eat Italian food in United States they get disappointed. After Sugo I understand why. Everything tastes so much better the real Italian way. If I remember correctly Cook is from Milano. Definitely Recommended!“
“Keep in mind. This is a lunch truck. The food is good and served with good portions for the price. It's also located in the heart of East Los Angeles overlooking the famous El Pino up in the hill and near the famous El Mercadito de Los Angeles. Lacking in parking thoigh“
“This is a hidden gem. These guys are super friendly, accommodating, and provide amazing service. The food is superb and it reminds me of some of the famous food trucks in the plethora of other countries that I've visited. The prices are fair and the amount of food you get for that price is astounding. Great work guys.“
“YOooo! 5 stars forsurrrrreee!!! First off, the packaging was excellent. Not one drip!! Presentation for the Quesadilla Frita caught my attention. It looked simple on Yelp, but sooo good? Lol I don't like fried food much. Somehow, I was convinced to get the fried quesadilla. It surpassed my expectations. Like I had a feeling it would be good, but I didn't think it would be this FRiGgin GOOD!! The corn tortilla was different from the reg tortilla. It was a bit thicker and a bit chewy. The beef was fresh and well seasoned. OMG, the cheese pull was unexpected. Everything was balanced. Yumm!! I like how they placed the grilled onions on the side. I don't like onions, but I dont mind some grilled onions here and there. The grilled onions added even more flavor to the quesadilla =) BOMB!! They also provided pickled onions and cucumbers on the side. There were 4 different types of sauces avail. For $10, I was surprised that it was all stuffed with beef inside. Yelpers didn't let me down. Thanks! Service was 100%. The guys were friendly & ADORABLE! =)“
“The food is incredible! Best tacos in the Valley! I come to this place at least once a week.. the tostaditas de pollo are my favorite! They service is great and fast! Carolina always greets me with a smile and is so nice and sweet! A must try if you're craving some fresh delicious Mexican food.“
“I usually don't write reviews but this place was right across the street from where I live and gave it a try and I was pleasantly surprised.So I yelped to find this place out of curiosity but had no reviews yet???I got the fish/shrimp/al pastor tacos and burrito which were really good and tortilla was super fresh.Overall feeling I got of this place was the word "clean" and the taste and the presentation also reflected that as well. Super nice staff and definitely going to stop by frequently to try their other offerings. Definitely deserves a positive review!“
“I was a customer when they were still with their food truck so when I found out they opened a restaurant near my work I was very excited. My coworkers and I order at least once a week from here breakfast and lunch. Portions and prices are excellent and food tastes great too can't ask for much more especially in this neighborhood where options are incredibly limited. I think you should all check them out.“
