“How this place isn’t the most talked about restaurant in LA will blow my mind. Incredible. Fantastic. I would eat here everyday if my wallet could afford.Get their Lomo Saltado taco and you will dream about it for the rest of your days. You’ve been warned.“
“As a devoted food lover, Dirt Dog- Gardena, is a Southern California experience worth savoring.From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by a striking large wall mural of the Legends of West Coast Hip Hop, adding to the laid-back vibe that California is known for.The menu boasts a tantalizing array of options, from bacon wrapped hot dogs to birria tacos to fried Oreos! But when in doubt, you simply can't go wrong with a classic dirty dog and a side of filthy fries. Each bite is a flavor explosion that leaves you craving more.Refreshing beer on tap perfectly complements the bold flavors of the food and adds an extra layer of enjoyment to the dining experience.Overall, Dirt Dog in Gardena is a must-visit destination for any food lover in Los Angeles. With its inviting atmosphere, delicious food, and refreshing drinks, it's the perfect spot to indulge in a taste of the West Coast.I HIGHLY RECOMMEND“
“Family owned and operated truck located in Boyle Heights / East LA area that specializes in tacos arabes and goodies from Puebla in general. The tacos arabes were a result of Lebanese immigrants to the area and boy are they delicious. I came here later on a Thursday night so it wasn't very busy and it was pretty chill. Just a few other people around me. The folks here were friendly and helpful. I ordered:A taco arabe especiale- their signature taco with their marinated roast pork on this soft flower tortilla. This was topped Oaxacan cheese and slices of avocado (especiale). There was this chipotle sauce on top of everything. The sauce added some smokiness to an already great flavor and texture profile. I really liked that flour tortilla. Quesadilla de flor de calabaza - zucchini blossoms with melted Oaxacan cheese inside a blue corn tortilla. Love corn and I love this. Nice and chewy with earthy and slightly sweet flavors to go along with their delicious salsaDefinitely recommend for tacos/ quesadillas etc etc or if you are just in the mood for something a little different.“
“Great Service as Well as the Food!!!!Excellent Ceviche!!! They were closing early for a party believe but they did not rush my wife and i...they continued to orivide top notch service til e left. Very busy crew always keeping the restaurant very clean, LOVE YOU “
“Before traveling to L.A. I googled best places to eat. Tacos LA Carreta was one of the suggestions. So after a full day of activities we decided to give it a try. Thank goodness we did! Best Tortas and tacos I ever had!! We will definitely make this a go-to for sure.“
“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.“
“Just finished eating here. Everything was DELICIOUS. Everyone is so welcoming, and make sure you're well taken care of. ? The food was beyond my expectations. As a Mexican and home cook, this place exceeded my expectations, and my taste buds were beyond happy. The spicy sauce actually had a great kick ?. The menu is simple, but it doesn't need anything else. The Aguas frescas had just the right amount of sweetness. They were actually refreshing, I only wish some ice was added. The presentation of the food was BEAUTIFUL. The chef definitely takes pride in the food served, and the attention to detail is evident . I'm so glad we live so close. Will definitely continue to come to this hidden gem. Thank you for such a pleasant experience. I can't wait to try the rest of the dishes here.“
“Went to this place with my husband three days ago barely got free to post this review. The food was great very authentic and the service was great as well. We will definitely go back even signed up for the rewards program in case we wanna order takeout.“
“Location a bit unusual, but I am not from the area, so maybe it is not. The service was fine. The prices were good. Our foreign exchange student had pollo and asada, which he enjoyed, but said the steak was the better of the two. My partner had the vampiro, which she loved. Finally, I had the quesataco with chivo. It had just the right amount of juice and gaminess. The offer a wide variety of tasty salsas and drinks. With the countless options in the LA area, I would have to be near it or have a goat craving to eat here again.“
“Hands down, the best, best birria tacos I've ever had!!I've been eyeing this taco truck for the longest time when I was looking for birria tacos. I missed the chance to go from the last time I came by. Many other taco vendors also recommend this truck for goat birria tacos.We got some goat birria quesatacos, labio taco dorados, which were lips, asada vampiro, and of course, gotta get consome. Not many places have goat birria, and most of the time, they tend to be too dry. Those quesatacos were super tender, juicy, cheesy, and packed with tons of spices and flavors. Dipping in the beefy, hardy consome, game over. I've never seen beef lips before, so I gotta give a try. It got the texture of beef tongue, also quite delicious. Like any other taco trucks and vendors, service is always impeccable. Everyone is very friendly and supportive to other vendors. I said it once, and I'm gonna say it again. The best birria tacos!!!“
“This was my first time eating here, and I wasn't sure what to order. They let me sample the chicken and the beef birria. It was very good. The meat is tender and they have great prices. When your in town, stop here, you will be happy that you did.Vegetarian options: Beans, rice and they serve ramen. You can customize and leave the meat out if you want. Taco, burrito, and quesadilla You can put avocado beans and rice and cheese.“
“My friend came from Tijuana to visit me ??♂️ and we found this amazing place?? NEW LOCATION, the food is amazing, VEGETERIAN NO PROBLEM i was really happy with the food, service is very friendly and they speak spanish tooI highly recomend this place?IOVE IT“
“This is my first time coming back this tacos stand in over 7 years and this place did not disappoint at all, the tortillas are handmade store is delicious I like that they have a limited amount of meats meaning that whatever you get, will be delicious. People working they provide friendly and fast service. Location is as it should be for street tacos, it's just adds more to the ambience and experience of street tacos 10/10.“
“One of the Best Al pastor in town!Corn tortillas are made on the spot, huge al pastor meat roasting on the spot. I love all their green & red salsa, red salsa def have a kick, but it's good if you like it spicy. Their burritos and quesadillas are also good, huge! Great service, friendly staffs, line goes by pretty quickly, just be patient, worth the wait.They take cash & zelle.Follow on IG to get updated times and locations through out so cal.“
“Love stopping by here after a Dodgers game...always get tacos Al Pastor & then finish the night off with dessert from the churro stand next to the troca. So delish. Tonight we got 4 tacos de al pastor, a burrito de al pastor, an agua de horchata, & a bottle of Sidral (apple soda) & spent $31.Parking: Small parking area since it's also a tire shop...but the security makes it work by telling you where to park.“
“After running an errand in the area, G's popped up on Yelp and it did not disappoint. Conveniently located in a plaza with plenty of parking, G's was not hard to find. Upon entering, it was plenty busy for 11am on a rainy day (a good sign.) I was pleasantly surprised they offered $1.25 tacos for Taco Tuesday ! In addition, they offer this special on Thursdays and Sundays! I ordered two asada and two al pastor tacos. After ordering, I helped myself to the salsa/condiment bar which had many of the usual suspects (red, green and an avo salsa along with limes.) The tacos came out freshly cooked and were served on heated yellow corn tortillas. The meats were well seasoned and topped with onions, cilantro and red sauce. I've been on a taco crawl all over LA the past few years and these rival some of the best around. While scarfing down my tacos, I was looking over the handwritten whiteboard menu and noticed that they offered complimentary consome. How awesome is that?! This along with the fact I skipped dinner the night before prompted me to order two birria tacos which along with the consome totally hit the spot . Safe to say I will be returning again and again!“
“Their tacos were so filling and delicious. I ordered a few tacos to start off with and shared it between my family and I. My kids really enjoyed the tacos and we had to get more. The atmosphere felt lovely and pleasant. My kids always tell me to come back whenever we're in LA. Thank “
“By far the best califries you can get and the best churros.Califries are amazing cause you can pick 2 meats.They have a wonderful bean and cheese burrito. I enjoy that they have pickled carrots and jalapeño, beans, cucumber and a variety of salsas.“
“I have been coming to Joliza's since they opened and I am pleased to say they still have excellent food and service. Had the beef cheek tacos with an horchata today, but I've tried everything on the menu. Tacos were packed with juicy meat and the horchata was so creamy. The owner topped off my horchata while I was eating, which was so nice. It's little service touches like that that keep me coming back. Tho tbh I think I'd still go back if they were rude because that's how tasty it is.“
“Nice little casual place to grab a bite. You order your food at the food truck window and can go into a separate building to sit down. Tacos were tasty and the best part was having different topping options, a couple salsas, pickled onions, Cilantro, Radish, cucumber etc. We were on our way from Orange County up to the Bay Area and wanted to eat quickly to keep driving. Glad we stopped here as it was really close off the freeway.Carne asada and al pastor tacos were delicious. Also tried the suadero but they weren't really my thing. Would come again!“
“Honestly my favorite Mexican food spot. I've tried so many things here and none have disappointed. The fried quesadilla , gorditas, tacos de papa, Tinga, are a few of the many things I've had and all of them are a 10/10. I also Love the señoras that help take the order , they are the nicest sweetest ladies.“
“I cater for and event at home carnitas combo and wow ? there where exelen. since the moment I call it there where so helpful there way I payed the invoice was easy and secure. The people working at the restaurant had a positive attitude when I pull up to pick up my order and helpful explaining my order. All my guest where asking who made the carnitas stilo michoacan so I pass on the information of the restaurant. I will recommend this place ?“
“Everything here was chef’s kiss! My visit was in person and I ordered the Beets Me Burger! The Beets Me burger was so delicious and I loved the fact that it was made from mushrooms and beets. The flavor was amazing and the brioche bun was nicely toasted. I ordered the Biscuit Bomb and through UberEats and it is The Bomb! The biscuit was nice and soft and all of the flavors paired well together. The Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup did not disappoint! I will definitely be back for another visit whenever I’m in this area!“
“AH-MAZING! DELICIOUS! Pleasantly surprised. Can’t wait to go back. I went with 3 friends and we all loved it. What’s not to love with homemade tortillas, steak, cheese, guac and PERUVIAN BEANS!! So creamy and delish! MUST TRY! You won’t be disappointed.“
“Birria Los Socios is the bomb! I've been looking for good birria (there's nothing really great in South Florida) and figured Socal had to have some. Had some great birria in San Diego but Los Socios blew me away! Definitely need to stop in next time im in LA!!!“
“Delicious food. Must try! Salsa bar is the best around and so is their food. Burritos are $10 right now and tacos are 2.50 each. Fair prices. Their portions are generous. Will continue to come back. Been coming here for at least a year or so.“
“Everything Made Fresh, The carnitas & chicharrones are my fave? Everything is Delicious Y las Micheladas Sheeesh ?? mouth watering Good??, An Those fresh warm frijolitos refritos with them tortillas hechas a mano ?? i can go on With all the Great food they Have Highly “
“We have tried the asada, pastor, carnitas, and chicken tacos. They are all very good, but not what you might expect from a "traditional" taqueria. It's one hand made tortilla, a little bigger than normal the tiny tacos. It's not very greasy at all. All the meats are good, but the al pastor does have a lot of onion, and the chicken is adobabda.“
“This was my first time trying this place. I decided to try their quesabirria with consume. To me it was sure good i enjoyed every bite of it with red salsa and lemon squeezed in my broth and sure did the dip on the quesabirria. Very crunchy was just good. Sure will be going to visit in person.“
“We recommend this place 10000%We live in San Diego, California and we came to Los Angeles to vacation and we were looking for a seafood place and we found this restaurant, which honestly did not disappoint. The service is very excellent from the moment you enter until you leave, everything is very good. The customer service and first impression was phenomenal. The waiter was very friendly and attentive, had very good knowledge of the menu and was very kind to us. The lemonade that my niece ordered is very good and refreshing natural. The seafood we ordered tasted super fresh. The Dynamite roll was my favorite as well as the red aguachile. We were fascinated by everything and this is definitely going to be the first place we come to eat every time we visit Los Angeles!“
“We visited the truck last week and had an amazing lunch. We were looking forward to eating here after seeing his place on Youtube and on the TV, and they did not disappoint. The food was fantastic, the mixed plate and soup were out of this world. We travelled over to LA from Bangkok, Thailand and Teddy's Red Tacos was on our 'must do' list. Highly recommended.“
“I stopped by this evening with my sister in law after a Dr. Appt down the street when putting gas I could smell the cooking. I ordered 3 tacos and champurado basic of asada my sister n law ordered 2 de tripas and 1 lengua and a large jaimica. Wow the food was really really delicious like it was made from your home kitchen very tasteful. The service was very fast and they were polite and helpful. I am definitely coming back even though I'm about 30 min away it's worth it. They are located on Redondo and Vermount Gardena.“
“Wow! Sunday live music 12-3 PM. Delicious mole sampler and pozole hit the spot! Great atmosphere! Attentive staff! It was even more special as it was Dia de Los Muertos season and they had a beautiful ofrenda display. This restaurant I will recommend to friends visiting L.A. A+ all around.“
“As someone from San Diego I always claimed our tacos are better but this food truck changed my mind. This is the best food truck for tacos and they are super affordable. every time I'm in LA I will make sure to drive down to Long Beach just to get to them fireeeee!“
“Finally tried this spot out a few months back and it's now a 3-4 visits/month kinda place for us. Food is fresh, hot, not greasy, and not over salted. Love their fresh corn tortillas, portions are solid, salsas are on point, and service is friendly and efficient!“
“I didn’t give all stars simply because compared to my go to taco spot in Compton, buuuut I don’t always have time or energy to drive there and this is down the street from my house. I came here and it was enough to satisfy my craving for tacos. I hate when I try a new place and then I still am left with the craving because it sucked. This place was not that thankfully :) The portions are huge so I would of probably ordered less had I known lol but I am pregnant so the rest got ate a few hour later anyways ? the young gentlemen were so attentive. Looks like they could of been the sons of the owners, as a mom I felt proud of them definitely coming back and definitely recommending them .“
“I've been going around L.A. looking for the best birria and believe me, we finally hit the spot. Not only is it delicious but also has great customer service. As a fellow entrepreneur/business owner, I can easily say, they're doing great. Stop by and try a taco, maybe 2, hey, why not the birria plate if you're really hungry!“
“Delicious casual local spot! We got the enchiladas, tacos (birria were the best), tamales, and horchata. The owner was very friendly and patient with our limited Spanish. Indoor seating for ~15 and outdoor tables for ~10 people. Would highly recommend!!“
“Best tacos al Vapor, estilo Jalisco never disappoint me. Super clean meat no fat or nerve. Super safe for small kids since meat melts in your mouth easily.Kid-friendliness: Super soft meat with no bones or hard Meats easi for kids to bite and swallow“
“So cool to experience these tacos from Wisconsin. Flavor is really rich, cooked to perfection. All tacos were delicious! Made me dream of being in Mexico like when I just to live, TMI but tacos and the staff were on point! Thank me later!“
“It’s been a few weeks since I have been here but I had forgotten to leave a review each time. The food here is really, really good. I’ve been to many local taco spots and haven’t found a place that puts a spin on a taco so well that doesn’t take away from the authenticity of a taco. Every protein option is flavored so well but my pick is definitely the carnitas amd the shrimp. Amazing food, Great customer service, all around great dining experience.“
“I found this place by accident on Instagram and decided to make the 3.5 hour trek to try it out. This place is absolutely delicious and tastes just like the caramelos and hot dogs that we get when we visit Magdalena de Kino, Sonora! I highly recommend you give this place a shot if you are looking for some authentic Sonoran food! The service was also excellent! I cannot wait to come back and try the menudo blanco!“
“This was my first time trying this place. I decided to try their quesabirria with consume. To me it was sure good i enjoyed every bite of it with red salsa and lemon squeezed in my broth and sure did the dip on the quesabirria. Very crunchy was just good. Sure will be going to visit in person.“
“Tacos La Flamita Mixe has either moved or opened a second stand. You can now find them on the corner of Bundy and Goshen in Brentwood, in front of the Ralph's on Wilshire and Bundy.Can't say enough good things about this food! The al pastor is not dry but not oily either - perfect. Asada is great. Their selection of salsas and toppings are awesome. Great bang for your buck. Stuffed burritos and quesadillas. Feed a family of 4 easily for $50 to $60 bucks.The people working the stand are super nice and down to earth. They usually put out some of those small plastic stools to sit on the sidewalk. There's a curb dividing the sidewalk and the Ralph's parking lot that you can also sit on. Perfect for a quick bite.“
“Best. Taco. Stand. Ever. Hands down the most delicious tacos in LA. Full of meat and a great price at $2 each! As well as taco Tuesday deals. Unheard of. The avocado salsa is the best. Nachos and quesadillas are great too. Come here 2-3 a week for months now. Everyone is super nice and they have a big, organized team that can handle a crowd. It’s consistently busy but we’re always in and out quick. Definitely recommend! ?⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“
“It was a rainy Sunday and I went in my FAMILY group, for Some of us it was out first time, everyone ordered different food and it was all delicious!! everyone of their staff was very friendly and accommodating we are definitely returning soon and we can't wait for summer to sit in their outside patio!!“
“We stopped by late for our midnight munchies meal. We ordered three different tacos and a bean & cheese burrito with the hottest sauce. The older gentleman told me to add the hot chili myself because he wasn't sure I could handle the heat. I laughed and told him bring it on and that I love hot chili. The food was really good and that chili was hot and it crept up and was burning my mouth at the end of my meal.“
“We were looking for a place with a good menudo...we passed here twice...we looked at it alone...but we came back and gave it a chance...we don't regret it...The menudo has a very good flavor..it has a very good texture and what I liked the most was that it was very well served...the tacos were very tasty..excellent place !!..100% recommended!..“
“The greatest tacos of Birria or goat and often very tasty from early in the morning of course that is well recommended because I know them and they know how to make good food. They treat you like family. Very nice people. We ordered barbacoa and the chef came out and convinced us that they have the best birria by giving us a few sampler plates. I gotta say I agree with him they know how to get down in the kitchen.“
