“We went to this place late night after a magic show. I had never heard of it before and it was right next door on 4th Street. They have a small A-frame sign out front which says best tacos in Santa Monica and they are not wrong! The feature a wide variety of tacos with homemade tortillas which were authentic and flavorful. It's a small location but can fit large parties play I strongly suggest going there if you want to satisfy your taco fix.“

“This is a great example of how LA street mexican food culture is like.

This place has one of the best pastor tacos in LA. Their meats are well seasoned and are not dry. Their salsas have great flavor and heat.

The lines can be long but it is worth the wait. You just can't beat this place when it comes to taste, quality, and price.“

“Wandered in from the pier after looking at close restaurants with great Google reviews. Oscar made my meal really enjoyable. He made a delicious Oaxacan Old Fashioned (hint: ask for a Tajin rim) and the tacos were delicious. Highly recommend for friendly staff, delicious tacos (although this is NOT a taco place), and yummy drinks!“

“Can’t rave enough on these breakfast burritos. Best in town! I personally love the location for a pick up. I come for the quality of food but wouldn’t recommend for a sit down although if alone or with one other couldn’t be nice. It’s located in a gas station so grab a candy as you leave. Wait is a bit long because they are so busy, order ahead!“

“😋 their sopas a very delicious….“

“If you are looking for halal Mexican food, that's the right address. I always take my guests to any of the Papi restaurants if they want to try Mexican cuisine - but I like the Santa Monica vibes more. Definitely recommended! And don't skip their beverages, each of them is an authentic gem.“

“The Queso Tacos and San Marcos Style Tacos Dorados, with consome, are hands down the real deal. So delicious! The Cucumber Agua Fresca was the perfect compliment drink. Best in the Valley.“

“Baja California Tacos is our go to fish taco spot in LA. Dont be put off by the appearance of this spot, as the fish tacos are among the best we’ve ever had. You can’t go wrong with either their fresh flour or corn tortillas. Their fried fish is always piping hot and crispy and the lettuce and pico are fresh and bright. The crema is perfectly seasoned and adds a satisfying creaminess. Baja California Tacos is comparable to the greats like Kikos and Oscars down in San Diego and more than satisfies the fish taco craving in LA!“

“These are without question the best Tamales I have ever had. If you have not had them, you have not lived. If you have had them, then I consider you my brother (or sista) and would die alongside you in battle against anyone who claims they know where another tamale spot is.“

“At Villanueva Mexican Restaurant, embark on a salsa odyssey that elevates the ordinary to extraordinary! Their legendary salsa bar, a carnival of flavors, turns each bite into a fiesta. The shrimp fajitas, while promising a flavor explosion, waded through a sea of gravy, a twist in our culinary tale. Though this unexpected plot thickens our journey, the salsas alone make Villanueva a treasure worth exploring. It's a solid four-star adventure, where every dip transports you closer to Mexico. Dive into Villanueva for a taste escapade that’s almost perfect – just watch out for the gravy waves!Recommendations:Their salsa bar!

Vegetarian options: Few vegetarian items“

“Best authentic Sri Lankan food I've come across in US. They serve a variety of Sri Lankan specialties including regular home-style rice & curries, lamprais, kottu & Sri Lankan short-eats. Huge portions for the price we pay. Looking forward to trying their Mexican food as well. Heard their Mexican food is so authentic & tastes great!“

“Rubio's cafe is one of my favorite places to enjoy a meal. I usually go for lunch, but today I tried their breakfast. 10/10 you feel like family when you’re in there. I wish I could eat here every single day. The scrambled eggs were perfectly cooked, the plantains were so perfectly caramelized with the perfect bite of crunch on the outside and soft, sweet banana on the inside. The orange, carrot juice is unmatched. It never tastes that good when I make it at home. If you haven’t tried Rubio’s cafe yet, let this be your sign.“

“Guisasos is an LA institution that has maintained quality and consistensy over the 10+ years I've eaten their superb food even after multiple expansions. Flawless braised taco fillings, topped with a delicious dollops of sauce that are meant to complement the flavor as well as the color of the main ingredient. Thoughtful vegan and vegetarian options as well as meat heavy tacos. Handmade corn tortillas perfect sized. Tamales are awesome too. Of note, no bathroom and the lot is a paid lot however i have never seen enforcement so we always just take the chance.“

The restaurant is known for its tacos, enchiladas verde, and burritos that impress even California transplants1. If you're in the Los Angeles area, the Van Nuys location also has good ratings, with customers praising its fish tacos and friendly service. Would you like more details on the menu or customer experiences?“
