50 Best Taco Restaurants near Encino

“Their food is great! You won’t be disappointed!!“

“sabrosisimas todas las tortas“

“Take your time gathering any of the many sauces and things. It went take long for your order to be ready, just pause and collect then return to grab all the sauces but yet bagged. Limes, cilantro&onions, salsa fresco, salsa Verde, salsa roja x2, radishes, grilled pepper and onions, crema, and more. All the things to make the meal your own.
A note about the carne asada fries (or any meat fry), is the use of a cheese sauce instead of fresh shredded cheese which some may like but not I. I'm guessing you can substitute the cheese for the desired experience.
This taco truck is worth a retry. The crowd certainly approves and has the right frame if reference to judge a taco truck. Rarely have I seen a throng of people eating at tables beside such food trucks let alone the steady stream of customers. Festive and lively, those customers add to the positive vibes of this sidewalk eatery. Just be sure you're at the right taco truck!“

“Everything about this tacos is amazing. Whoever didn’t try it. You have to run and you’re gonna need to stay in line. The people are amazing. The food is amazing. Only good things. I’m going there at least three times a week and it’s not expensive. Where are you? Gonna find a burrito for $10.“

“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.“

“These tacos hit the spot! We usually get asada, pastor, carnitas, and suedero but want to try the cueritos next time. Love that they use homemade tortillas! The guy taking orders even recognized us from the last time we were there and hooked it up with all the salsas and sides. Can’t wait to come back again soon! Thank you!“

“What an awesome find. Been to the best all over Los Angeles and this ranks up there in the top 5. Everything is very high quality and made with love. Best birria I have had in LA.

“August 7, 2023 Stopped by and ordered 2 tacos con queso: 1 with birria \u0026 1 with Pollo. They were both delicious, although I loved the one with birria a bit more! Saw a lady eating ramen with hirria.. I might give it a try next time LOL ------------------------ July 13, 2023: Got my nachos fix again tonight!! This time I asked for guacamole on the side, so if i couldn't finish it, the chips won't get soggy. I asked for no beans, no sour cream \u0026 pico de gallo... just cheese \u0026 extra cilantro.. and he made it PERFECT!! Tried Mulitas \u0026 Vampiros too a while ago.. all the food I tried was good! Generous portion too! 5 orders from people who got there before me, so i had to wait a little but its worth it! Service was as great as always.. The ambiance was nice as the weather is cooling down from excessive heat I'm happy for them, their business seemed like going well! Easy parking They put out 2 tables with more chairs now to accommodate more customers. Recommended for others to try their food!“

“Best taco stand in Los Angeles. The Barbacoa is the best I've ever tried, the habanero sauce is fire. Tacos, burritos, quesadillas, nachos you can't go wrong with anything. Plus the bar is amazing. Overall great experience.

Vegetarian options: Veggie tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and nachos“

“Their Tacos brought me back memories of TJ. Al Pastor was so so good“

“If you want a quick, cheap, no grills and delicious, street style taco fix on this side of the border in NoHo, Sandy's is your place. Buche, cabeza, tripas, al pastor, you name it, they probably have it. I usually get those three and it sets me back $15 for 7 tacos. They are not that big so depending on your appetite, you might need more. I usually eat that in 2 servings. Oh btw, "cash" only!“

“Me and my wife, we stopped by to grab a bite we were surprised by the food that they offer my wife order a plate of bistec con papas it came with salad, rice and beans and tortillas this is not your regular Carne Asada tacos or AlPastore taco truck don’t get me wrong. There’s nothing wrong with those type of Tacos. but these tacos. we’re different. I got myself two tacos of Chicharron. In salsa Verde. And two tacos of Costilla con nopales they were so delicious that I had to post a review to tacos Desoto 5⭐️ real good Mexican food you guys come out and check them out….“

“Sooo good. I’m vegetarian and there’s lots of fun options (potato tacos, breakfast burrito… amazing), but the seafood also always looks super fresh and delicious. Love the atmosphere too— a very casual hole in the wall type place, but everyone is in a good mood and there’s always jazz playing.“

“Los Tres Potrillos is locally owned and operated. They offer fresh meat, authentic Hispanic merchandises and amazing service! I highly recommend this place if you are looking for authentic Hispanic merchandise. The price is good and it is located in Van Nuys.“

“Delicious food and drinks“

“Honestly! Amazing food, just like my mom's food. There is always a long line but totally worth the wait. And they have so so so many options. The owners are very caring for each customer and try their best to make my order fast but never fall short of authentic Mexican food!!!“

“las gringas espevialidad de la casa“

“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.“

“Love the food and the ambience! Relax and friendly ! The new one in Playa Vista is worth going even if you don’t live in the area!“

“After spending over a week in Mexico, touring Tulum, Cancun, Isla Mujeres and more. I believe Taco n Madre may just have the very best, most authentic tasting tacos in east Mexico, at the very least the state of Quinta Roo. I recommend this location to any traveler visiting cancun and verturing inland off the beach. What a delicious experience the pastor tacos were the grilled Piña, the guac and pick and those sauces - take me back already! Gracias to the Camarero who made the experience memorable by me letting have my choice cuts of the spicy and tangy Al pastor.“

“My new favorite spot! The food is really good here.“

“Tacos are the best here, tortillas handmade fresh and the baked potato’s are just as great! The customer service here is the best they are the sweetest plus they offer all payments be it cash, card, Zelle. Super convenient I recommend them to anyone who is looking for their next Mexican food spot!“
