Claudia was super great putting together my large order. She was fast and very helpful! Hope to see her next time.

Go to another location, this could be so much better. My rice was partly burned and hard. The tacos were just disappointing and cold. I love the other location, so I was disappointed in this experience

idk if it’s just this location but man have they gone downhill… $13 for a burrito that’s half the size of what’d you get from chipotle. and the food was so bland compared to what i remember.

I can’t believe that they wouldn’t take cash. They loose a customer just because they didn’t want to take cash I feel DISCRIMINATED!!!

Burritos. Rice was salty. Beef not good quality. Sauces are okay. And they confused Pastor with Carnitas 🤦

Mediocre tacos. Won’t go back. Al pastor had no flavor. Not a lot of meat. Most taco places you can barely close the taco. I asked for no cilantro and had it. It wasn’t disgusting but not great. And parking sucks. So def not worth the effort.

Absolutely gross and unsanitary. I would never eat there again. Kitchen staff seem fine, but the place is unkept, covers of all sauces looked like they were there all day. Counters gross, food even worse. Never again for me

Told the person I ordered from I was allergic to onions and she didn’t convey this to the person making my food and I watched as he put onions on the tacos then realized the error because “no onions” was on the ticket but there was no allergy indication, then I watched him remove the onions and continue to add the rest of the ingredients. I do not blame staff, I blame management for training. It’s absurd to not have allergies conveyed, nor understood by the person taking my order. Having an allergy is already annoying, I should not have to feel like conveying that is annoyance as the person taking my order made me feel when I mentioned it.

While our son and daughter-in-law were touring Warner Bros Studios, we walked down to Tacos 1986 with our granddaughter to catch a quick bite and kill time. Great food and service!

Zero stars for this place. I placed a $120 order. Waited an hour for my delivery. Delivery never showed up. Reached out to ask why my order was cancelled? They said the store got busy so my order was cancelled. Amazing service guys. You’re operating your business as if the world was still in 1986
this place leaves their system on and still takes orders after they are closed only so you can drive all the way over here and find out they didn't never make it even though they're open sign is on and they'll just tell you they're closed

So sad to write this, because when I lived in LA this was one of my favorite taco spots, but wow, things have gone downhill since I moved.
Look at these embarrassing tacos. They’re less than HALF the portion of meat of what they used to serve. It felt like I was eating a chewy tortilla with onion and bland salsa. Adding mushrooms was 75cents extra and I got literally four slices on each taco. On top of the tiny portions, the meat was also chewy, fatty and cold. The flavor was just not there either.
I really am sad this place has chosen shrinkflation and sacrificed the quality that made them so successful and enjoyable in the past. I recommend you go support one of LA’s many other incredible taco stands and trucks and support those immigrant businesses rather than whatever Tacos 1986 thinks it is these days. Sadly, I’m never coming back when visiting LA again.
