50 Best Taco Restaurants near Culver City

“HomeState delivers a Tex-Mex experience that’s nothing short of spectacular. The quesadilla, a golden masterpiece of melty cheese and perfectly griddled tortilla, strikes an ideal balance of comfort and flavor, substantial yet never heavy. Four distinct tacos showcased a vibrant range of fillings, each one a testament to HomeState’s mastery of Texas-inspired cuisine. From smoky brisket to bright, zesty chicken and beef options, every taco bursts with bold, authentic flavors, wrapped in warm, pillowy tortillas that elevate the experience to something truly special. House-made salsas add layers of complexity, making each bite a revelation.

The freshly squeezed lemonade proves the perfect partner, its crisp, not-too-sweet brightness cutting through the richness of the meal with refreshing finesse. HomeState’s atmosphere radiates warmth and Austin charm, blending a laid-back vibe with a welcoming energy. Staff move with efficiency and genuine friendliness, ensuring every dish arrives hot and fresh. Other reviews often highlight the breakfast tacos and migas as must-tries, and while those weren’t on the plate this time, the menu’s depth promises more delicious adventures on the next visit.“

“FOOD WAS INCREDIBLE ❣️❣️❣️

I can’t say enough how incredibly delicious this restaurant was. I called my friend, Dan R (Legendary, Venice, Photographer, and the world ) for a recommendation on some delicious Mexican food. He laughed and said Tacomiando (why he was laughing just delivered him food from the restaurant… he said this is definitely the best in the area and he was not mistaken. This food from the cleanliness of the restaurant to how nice and helpful the staff was I always judge a restaurant on their chips. As well, I can honestly say these chips were incredible along with everything I’ve tried. I almost forgot to mention they’re incredible salsa bar. Hope you can see in the photo, but it was quite extensive. ✨🤩😍

If you’re reading this and you like Mexican food, this is a must try

“Esta muy buena la comida Recomendado al 💯👌🏽😋“

“a bit pricey (at least here in downey) but the food is worth it!!“

“As some other reviewers I knew this place from youtube and was glad I went here when visiting LA. The quality of the food and the friendly staff are top notch. We tried steak, chicken and falafel tacos as well as quesadillas. All were great with the chicken tacos being my favorite. I truly loved the variety of flavors you get with every single bite. It was so good that we ordered some more tacos on our way out, as a snack on our road trip.

The obvious downside is the location in a bit of a sketchy area, but I assume that can hardly be avoided in LA.“

“✨✨SHOW STOPPER ✨✨
✨EXPLOSION OF FLAVOR ✨
WOW!!! This was our first stop coming into town and wouldn’t have wanted it any other way! The second the first bite of Alex’s incredible burrito and street tacos hit my mouth there was no going back. His ability to create such incredible flavors in not only the burrito itself, but all of the add ons and sauces as well is OUT OF THIS WORLD!! Would go again, again, AND AGAIN! 😋 Not to mention Alex’s ability to make you feel at ease and have a great time in such a comfortable setting.

If you don’t stop here, you must not like top notch culinary delights and authentic experiences 😊🔥🌯🌮“

“Local Taqueria worth the stop.“

“pasamos de pasadita guiados por los reviews y nos sorprendió los mejores tacos de birria qué hemos comido. recomendamos al 100 por 100“

“The soft shell crab taco was stupendous. One of the best things I've eaten this month. Unique, flavorful, absolute must have.

The Baja style fish taco was fine, but not nearly on the same level.

One taco was around $7, which is more of a gourmet price. But I would happily pay that for the soft shell crab taco.

Service was very impersonal. Nobody greeted me. Not a single word of hi/hola, thank you, goodbye. Nothing. You just enter your name and order on a tablet. A few moments later somebody looks and gestures at you to take your food. Sitting situation is not great. But it's a fast casual bite, so you're not there for a long time. FYI - this is a food truck and not a brick and mortar space.

I would go out of my way to eat the soft shell crab taco again. Wow, I'm still thinking about it.“

“Delicious …. Great food truck authenticity“

“K Pasa is just what the neighborhood needed. The vibes are great, the food is fast, the food is delicious and the price point is right. They have a variety of free sauces to throw in too! I’m a neighborhood regular :)

Parking: Parking is paid at the meters and free on side streets but be aware that parking in K town is always a challenge.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access.“

“Man I wish I had this close to home , every time I’m in La this is my go to taco shop I’ve tried many from random YouTube videos but never beats out these tacos . Such an authentic Mexican spot I’m hungry rn typing this out but damn I can use 4 asada 1 chorizo rn 🤣🤣🤣 everything is really good n how you would expect it to taste . Much love from nor cal to my taco spot in LA you guys are appreciated“

“Came in to kill some time while waiting for music store next door to open, had two of the best carnitas soft tacos I've ever had, for only $6.75. The tacos were large and delicious and served with perfect green salsa, and they even brought me chips and salsa while I waited. My new fav taco place!“

“We stopped here for a quick dinner, it was excellent.“

“Amazing hospitality, great service and even better food. Cheers to this family run business working passionately to maintain standards and quality of food. If you haven’t been here at least once, you are missing out. Stop by, say hello to the owner and his daughter Jasmine.“

“The OG goat! Definition of hole in the wall but far from a dive. Delicious and affordable burritos. Can’t beat this combo right here. Spicy salsa and a weekly raffle to win more burritos.
Street parking and take out only but you can find plenty of spots down the block to sit and eat at. I tend to grab a burrito then a latte at Black Elephant to chill at their patio.

The hood may be gentrifying but we keeping this place right where it is!“

“Great tacos- super tasty, good price, has every side/ addition you could want. there’s even music playing. Has an organized ordering line and the chefs and staff were very friendly and attentive. So happy I ran into this walking to Vons. Has a few stools to sit on if you want to eat there. A table or two would be nice since gets pretty crowded but eating on the parking barrier on the side of the road w everyone still a vibe you know“

“Great tacos!!!! To be returning soon again....“

“Ricooooo! Y limpio y la salsa picosa“

“These tacos hit the spot and took me back to having authentic tacos at any small town in Mexico! The sauce was spicy as it should and the onion cured with serranos was perfect for eating alone like a taco. We had asada, buche and chorizo ​​and it didn't disappoint. Now the queso birria tacos and that juicy al pastor were another level. To lick your fingers.“

“Loved the tacos!!! All the variety of toppings and add ons were delicious and fresh! The sauces gave the perfect spicy, and I just can't stop raving about this place! The staff were very friendly and accommodating, and the prices were great as well. :) Wish we had places like these in Chicago, but so happy to experience tacos in the most delicious ways!! Definitely eat here!!“

Wheelchair accessibility: Noooo“

“las gringas espevialidad de la casa“

“This #TOPFAMOUS #TACOTRUCK is often around 1001 Sunset Blvd AKA historic #TOPPOPULAR #ROUTE66 that millions travel by to enter #LOSANGELES & #HOLLYWOOD , #CALIFORNIA every year. One of the best thing about #LA is the #FOODTRUCKS available to serve #TOPCULINARY experiences at any time of day or night most conveniently anywhere, which also helps prevent the masses of individuals from starving to death, so saves many lives, which is the best.“

“Holy moly, my new favorite taco spot. Been meaning to try them for ages, and was finally hungry enough on my way home from the cinematheque. Here’s to extraordinary art house cinema followed by extraordinary tacos.

The Al Pastor was ON POINT. It’s rare to find authentic pastor outside of DF and this is IT. As I sat by the parking lot, getting an accidental whiff of gasoline, it was almost like being back in El Defectuoso!!! Carnitas was good too, but the moist kind, rather than the crispy kind I truly love. But the meat was PILED HIGH on both tacos and the salsa bar ample and luscious. Avocado salsa!!! Don’t walk, run.“

“DELICIOUS,TASTY AMD FLAVORFUL HIGHLY RECOMMEND“

“Way better tacos than Leo's tacos. Their chicken tacos were so well marinated and juicy. Their salsas were so flavorful and they were very kind. Please take care of my people here and tip them extra so they stick around for a long time. Oh, and the pastor was dangerously delicious as well. Highly recommend ??“

“I have been going here since I was 15. Now 42. Never a dull moment, food is amazing and consistent, workers are awesome and good at what they serve. Fries are bomb!!! Food is amazing, writing about is making me go back. Okay...I'm driving there now. “

“just had the big poppa taco & it was VERY delicious! Will definitely be back!“

“Esta muy buena la comida Recomendado al 💯👌🏽😋“

“This place is amazing, I got the mulita with chorizo and asada and it was amazing. They make their tortillas to order and the meat is seasoned to perfection. The staff are super friendly and their prices are very reasonable. Overall I would 100% recommend.“

“I love the Waterfront. Great food and service, bogo happy hour, nice people and chill vibe“

“👍People are very warm and accommodating“

“These photos do NOT do this place justice, but I was too busy stuffing my face to take any better photos. The food was so fresh, and all the toppings were delicious. If you're looking for an authentic, delicious, and friendly spot, you have come to the right place!“

“The food here is so fresh and tasty! We had refreshing watermelon drinks and ceviche with chips and salsa. The atmosphere was relaxing and air conditioned. Nice, music and ambiance filled with lush green palms. Our server Genesis was very helpful, and accommodating. Will definitely be back!“

“Had my anniversary dinner here. It was awesome. The food was very good, I got the birria quesadilla, and my partner got two quesadilla fritas. It was absolutely delicious. The truck looked very clean and the tables were also. The chairs are sturdy. The horchata was pretty good, on the light side and refreshing. There are planes that fly over but it didn’t bother us. Can’t wait to come back and try the rest of the menu!“

“These are hands down the best tacos I’ve had in LA. And I’ve had a lot of tacos in the country. Plus for the price (2 bucks a taco), you can’t beat eating this stuff. Highly recommend for any locals of the areas. We got the chicken, pastor, and asada. All a recommend, and you can load up on your own toppings, def get the onions and jalapeño if you love spice.“

“Just ate there the food was good. Me and my wife loved it. Highly recommend this place. The chicken tacos were great.“

“I love this place. The food is delish, made with care in their little pop up tent & the prices can't be beat so it's easy to leave them a great tip, which they totally deserve. The pastor & asada are both so excellent that i always want them & haven't tried anything else I like things spicy & they don't scrimp on the heat.??“

“Esta muy buena la comida Recomendado al 💯👌🏽😋“

“Love the people and food is amazing!!“

“By far and beyond the best food I've had in my life. I can say without a shadow of a doubt, I trust anything that comes off of their grill. Filling, flavorful, creative. Its the type of food that make you feel a warm glow from inside. The owners are kind and funny, they genuinely care about their customers. Everything is homemade and worth stopping by 3 times a week. I cannot say enough good things. 6 stars.“
