“(Translated by Google) These tacos are amazing, very good and well served, they make a load of meat and the dog seasoning. Those with cecina with cheese are the most buts and roast and rib.(Original)Estos tacos están pasados de lanza, muy buenos y bien servidos, le hechan un chingo de carne y el sazon perro. Los de cecina con queso son los más peros y asada y costilla.“

“At an unassuming end of an Echo Park parking lot are a pair of massive parasols providing temporary respite from the blaze of the sun; under its shade is a solitary figure pouring over the heat of a sizzling steel plate, sandwiched between two great flames in a solitary act of creation. The place is Alejandra's, and the creation is some of the best quesadillas you can get in LA.
Coming up to the stand, you eye the menu and make your order, $8 dollars each or $10 for a dual topping type. There is potentially a bit of a wait due to every meal being freshly made on order, but it is a good and worthwhile wait, the staff, clientele, and food being most hospitable.
At your order, purple dough is flattened to a blue corn tortilla, each tortilla freshly pressed and grilled in front of you. You watch it sizzle and rise brown, flip over, and continue its cycle to grow crisp.
Topping highlights for me include squash blossoms and pork, which is chicharrones with a surprising crisp and crunch better than almost any other I've had, the ring of each bite echoing autumn leaves crunching under my feet, its condensed jerky flavour hemorrhaging in the still present sweetness of a meat once juicy.
The stand provides a salsa bar with red and green sauces available, and other vegatative essentials- onion, cilantro, and pepper- serve as a lush and fresh forestry for the surprisingly substantial spice of the salsa to lick upon; piled upon the mountain of food and flavour, the green and red splatters evoked the Hollywood Hills, the red salsa smokey and particularly burning like the fires of last year.
It's an addicting taste well worth the visit and short walk to sit and enjoy the meal in Echo Park. I'm excited to come back and try more ingredients for sure, very likely two or three quesadillas at a time to help expedite the process, as it can't be helped.

“Very tasty Mediterranean food with a Mexican twist. I tried several of the menu items and never had a bad meal here. Serving portions are big so you may share on most, unless you want it all for yourself 😜. The seating is limited, but still a nice spot for a great lunch.“

“SO GOOD! Got the pizza Taiyaki and didn't even know it came with a sauce. If you post a pic of your food and tag them on instagram, they'll give you a free Taiyaki! This was my first time getting a Taiyaki, and it was delicious as heck. The SAUCE was so unexpected so when I dipped my pizza Taiyaki in it, I was like holy moly this is so good??? It reminds me of Mexican salsa. I gotta come back and try their different flavors, probably one of the sweeter ones!“

“Best tacos ACTUALLY! Family owned and very kind folks. Had 2 carne asada and 1 chicken tacos. The tortillas were fire and the meat sooo delicious. You also get to put your own toppings and they have guac as an option (not as an expensive add on). So yummy!“

“Very unassuming place. It looks modest and you would never guess how phenomenal the food is! Everything is freshly made. Hand cut folded wrapped prepped you got it. Best tacos I've tasted on this side of the border. Seating and parking is limited.“
“Tamales Naborina is truly a hidden gem a street vendor that has been a staple in Watts for years. It’s the kind of place that’s known by locals, and while it’s somewhat of a well-kept secret, I believe everyone deserves to experience their incredible tamales!
**Location:** You can usually find the bright yellow food truck at the corner of 105th and Wilmington Avenue.
**Service:** The service is impressively quick, especially given the number of customers they serve in the morning. You'll be in and out before you know it!
**Parking:** Keep in mind that parking is limited to street parking, so be prepared to search for a spot and take a short walk to the truck.
**Food:** The tamales here are as authentic as it gets! They use traditional masa with lard and offer a variety of fillings, including red chicken, green chicken, red pork, and cheese tamales. I always opt for their cheese tamales, as they truly do not skimp on the cheese-to-masa ratio, make sure you ask for extra napkins to absorb the grease from the tamales. Don’t forget to grab their green salsa topped with onion and cilantro—it’s a must-have accompaniment and their champurrado is delicious!
On weekends, they also offer banana leaf-wrapped tamales and corn tamales, also known as Uchepos—if you know, you know!
**Overall:** If you’re looking for authentic and delicious tamales, Naborina Tamales is a must-visit. Their offerings are not only tasty but also filling, making it worth the trip!“

“I was told this place was good by a group of friends. I was invited to a Torta with Carne Asada and was very impressed by the quality. It's very authentic food , flavor packed Mexican food a 2am hits different.
I definitely want to go back!
The area is a little tight and parking isint the best and it is a little sketchy at night around there“

“The food was very good but the service efficiency was very low. I hadn't gone to eat for a while and now that they moved to Calle Paloma, the waitress service was not efficient at all. I spent about 30 minutes waiting for them to take my order and they never did and I better end up leaving.“

“We are from Guadalajara Mexico, they are not good…. They are delicious, the tacos las aguas, the quesadillas, this place is one hundred percent recommended to anyone who knows about Mexican tacos, their tacos are better than many places in Mexico, well served and everything they prepare is very delicious. The large roast quesadilla with tripe is a championship, only for connoisseurs... thank you very much for your service, first time I have eaten tacos outside of Mexico, they are delicious...“

“Not even gonna lie. Some of the best tacos I've had here. The chicken wasn't pretty but it was dang sure good. It was for sure up to par with the pork. The pork was that crispy cook too, but they could cook it how u like. Where im for sure sold is that the tacos are cheap. I've noticed the price rise over the years. Another plus goes to the location. I believe if they aren't there, or right next to them this dude makes these mash potato meat and veggie bowls in the potato. Im telling you, you really have to check out the food on the street. Both the tacos and the potatoes. Last thing, they weren't those little tacos either. Nah, these tacos got gains. Please don't miss out.“

If you are visiting their pop-up arrive early for the vegetarian options 🤤“

“12/10 service, 12/10 food. 5 stars doesn't even do it justice. If you're on the fence, make the jump!
4100 isn't a typical spot for me on a Sunday, but it definitely will be now that I know Nugtown will be there.
I've worked in the service industry and done local food reviews for 10 years across Detroit, Denver, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles. This is one of the standout spots, hands down. That is saying A LOT.
Hand battered chicken, everything made to order, and Mike will let you know exactly what you need without trying to upsell and swindle you.
I take my food, specifically fried chicken, very seriously and there is not one thing that I could suggest to improve. I can't wait to tell everybody!
Thank you, Mike!!“

“As close as it gets to Mexico City street tacos without eating eating Mexico City street tacos. The staff is friendly and the food is delicious. Our tacos were so flavorful that I forgot to squeeze lime in mine and my husband forgot to put salsa in his. We ended up getting more to go. If we didn’t live all the way on the other side of the US, we would be back for sure. We had the al pastor tacos, queso birria tacos, and consomé.“
“Love it so much
Honestly, that’s the only spot I buy food from 2 times a week
I tried everything at this night market and this is the best !
Will stick to FatWolf no matter what 🫡🔥“

“This little stand is so cute. They're just on the corner by the bus stop and their food is pretty good. I had two tacos and fell in love quickly. I bought a burrito to take home for I think, $10? Pretty reasonable considering how big it was. Salsas are self-serve, and there's a table and chair if you'd like to eat it immediately.“

“I got here by chance on a Saturday night, the parking lot was full and the line was long, so I assumed it was good. I am not lying when I tell you that these are probably the BEST TACOS I’ve ever had in my life. If you want to have the real street food experience in LA, this is absolutely it. Its opened every day from 1PM to 2AM. • Llegué aquí por casualidad un sábado por la noche, el parqueadero estaba lleno y la fila era larga, así que asumí que era bueno. No estoy mintiendo cuando te digo que estos son probablemente los MEJORES TACOS que he probado en mi vida. Si quieres tener la verdadera experiencia de comida callejera en Los Ángeles, esto es. Está abierto todos los días de 1PM a 2AM.“

“Omg, hands down the best tacos in the 626. And trust me, I’ve had my fair share from TJ Tacos to Tacos El Gordo in San Diego and even Taco El Franc. This spot is legit. The line every night says it all.
This time, I ordered the baked potato with cheese and lengua (tongue). Absolute perfection. They serve it with handmade corn tortillas that take everything to another level. The meats here are packed with flavor. My usual go-tos are the al pastor, cabeza (cow’s head meat), and tripas (beef intestine). Next visit, I’m eyeing the sausages, stomach, and carne asada.
And their salsa? To die for. It’s fresh, spicy, and ties everything together perfectly.
The team here is friendly and clearly takes pride in what they do. You can taste the care in every bite.
They’re parked right on San Gabriel Blvd with a solid setup. The ambiance is just right, and honestly, the only thing missing is some outdoor dining space.
Parking is free and easy on the street.“

“So I live in Compton, only a few blocks from the birra spot. I'll be honest, I did not like birria de chivo but I came here for Father's Day because my dad who lives in L.A. wanted to try it. Long story short I had no clue what to order. Gentleman at the window was soo helpful and patient in helping me, the señoras are cooking in the truck so we knew it was going to be good. Anyway my dad loved it, and I tried it and I really enjoyed it. Just be careful with parking the lot they are by was full and and I parked on a side street and I totally missed the sign and got a big fat ticket. ??“

“Great tacos and burritos! Rice and beans are very flavorful. Love their asada, lengua and tripa. Just wish they had more salsa options, or at least one that was spicier. If you’re in the area with munchies, recommend you try them out. They take cash, Zelle and Venmo.“

These kind people make such excellent, authentic Mexican street food that I am speechless, and I just want to dance! The food looked so good that we completely forgot to take a photo, and everything was so delicious that I only remembered it when we had almost finished eating.
But I think with the fantastic sight of the hanging chorizo sausages, you can imagine how great the plate looks!
Muchas gracias mis amigos!!!“
