Phenomenal! Another bucket list food spot marked off! Will definitely be coming back here!! Al Pastor was the best meat/taco I've ever had! The Horchata was also the best of its kind I've ever had! The sauce selection was so great! Verde will always be my favorite! Service was fast, couldn't tell you about the ambiance cause I had the food delivered to our hotel. But will definitely be making a stop at one of the locations next time we come into town! Favorite taco spot of all time now!

It's a small taco shop with stools more like bar type they do have a small sitting area to accommodate those in a wheelchair. They have a little salsa bar with plenty of options but none were spicy which a big downside for me there was also limes, radish and cucumber as well as a place for water with water cups that was accesible. They had fountain drinks and bottled horchata and Jamaica and lemonade and Mexican coke and sprite. There is no restrooms. Prices are fair since everything is pretty high up there now a days. They do add cheese to the burritos which was not in the description that was a fail for me cause I don't like cheese on my burritos and they also don't have rice. The service was okay because they were really busy with mainly online orders. The food wasn't the best to be honest everything was a little too salty not a spot that I would say hey I'm craving tacos 1986.

Being Mexican, it takes a lot for me to be impressed by tacos. Just about any place can make a regular taco and it'll be enough to get that taco craving. But this place just about knocked me off my chair when I took that first bite. I ordered the adobada and carne asada tacos and let me just say... They were unlike any other taco I've had before. Everything about the taco complimented the flavor so much. From the tortilla, to the guac, to every salsa I put on it. The adobada came out tasting really well and had the perfect amount of crunch to it. Originally I ordered three tacos but ended up getting up for two more. Definitely my favorite taco place in California thus far 10/10

The place is very very basic but it makes me happy. I usually get two tacos or a vampiro. To have homemade tortillas is always a joy, and the salsa works nicely with the guac. These employees are very nice too. I appreciate the smile and the greeting and the very tasty food. I can't wait until the Sherman Oaks location opens.

NOT the best location to represent what this restaurant chain has established. I ordered my food for a specific time because I wanted my food to be hot and fresh when I arrived. However, I got a text message 25 minutes before I was due to arrive saying my food was ready. Tacos were soggy, guacamole was dark and super warm. Feels like I'm eating a melted pie wrapped in wet bread. I was introduced to this chain via their Westwood location and was hooked immediately. Been craving them for days, so I came to the Burbank location because it was the closest, but I'm VERY disappointed after hyping my friends up about Tacos 1986. So, I am also embarrassed. I only give it 2 stars instead of 1 star because one of my friends still enjoyed their burrito but mind you, it was their first time eating today and it's dinner time. Hopefully the Sherman Oaks location opens soon.

Tried this location a few days ago, it was amazing tacos, best I've ever had but the service was terrible. So much attitude from the guy at the front of the counter. No gloves what so ever, he used his phone constantly and touched the food right away. Good late night dinner but wouldn't be coming back if the same worker is there!

These guys are really confused. I came today and ordered two tacos and one kids quesadilla. Waited 15 minutes and everyone after me received their order. I went up to them and I said can you please check on my order? They looked really confused as to where it was and then he reached over and handed me a bag and said this is yours. I got home. I opened it and it was for a guy named Benny, which is not my name with four tacos. I'm not sure if I'm going to 1986 anymore. By the way, when he handed me the bag there was no apology. Basic customer service
I had some really tasty quesadillas. Good service! It's a small, bright place. A great place for people to meet. In fact, I was with a Meetup group.

Really, really good basic old-school tacos and friendly staff. The Al Pastor was amazing and the Asada was equally as good. Can’t wait to come back. If only the prices were from 1986. A little pricey but what else is new?
