50 Best Taco Restaurants near Encino

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

“BEST CARNE ASADA AND GUAC IN NORTH AMERICA.

Service is QUICK.
Owner is a sweet young lady
They always have all the fixins/salsas you'd need.
You can tell they work hard and make consistently authentic food year round.“

“Fair prices, really great staff, great variety for food, definitely suggest the horchata it's amazing and they don't give a whole cup of ice. It's unfortunate that they only take cash but they are set up right next to a Ralph's grocery store so it's not too hard to get. Will be coming back!“

“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!“

“Everyone thinks LA food is great ,this is big mistake,it’s really hard to find tasty and nice place ,where you would love to be back again .But want to share this place ,it’s called Great white I will promise you will want to come back.

Recommend this salmon board or Chrissy chicken sandwich you wills at thank you.🍷“

“I never knew there was a Homestate near by, I took my family there after I went to a couple of yelp events where Homestate was featured and loved their tacos, but I have never tried their hibiscus limeade. This was refreshing and amazing. My tijuana pather (brisket taco) fell apart but it was so good. Honestly, I've had several of their tacos and forth worth is my favorite. The potato taco was also decent. These tacos are messy because it is filled. You will leave full after 2 tacos.

The service was also great. They accidently left the bacon in the forth worth and fixed it right away. Even offered 2 cookies because it was busy and had to wait. That's great customer service.

I will be making this location a favorite for tex mex tacos.

Also parking is better after 6, it's only 30 mins prior right in front. This is downtown culver city so there's several lots and I'm not entirely sure about parking in the neighborhood, so just check signs.“

“Best tacos I’ve ever tasted. I got a shrimp one and steak one. My god! I wish I lived close by but I was only in the area for a day. I’ll be missing them and dreaming about the tacos until I return again. (Black BMW lady)“

“las gringas espevialidad de la casa“

“This is my favorite late night snack. I get the carne asada tacos with avocado salsa on the side. The best carne asada tacos!! The flavor is delicious. They are consistent so it’s always delicious. I put my friend on and now she’s hooked. I legit crave this truck!

Parking: Parking is fair

Kid-friendliness: It’s a taco truck so you can take your kids however it is on a public street so always be safe and hold tight to your babies. There are street sleepers around.“

“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.“

“This has to be the best burrito I’ve had in SoCal. It’s a great concept to give the customer the open burrito to put in toppings of my choice and amount, then give it back for the employees to perfectly wrap up.

I got the asada and tripa burrito as well as an al pastor and pineapple mulita. All of it was cooked perfectly and with large portion sizes and great prices.

I will happily make the hour trip just to stop here again. This place should get an award.“

“Todo excelente estos si es birria estilo Tijuana 👍“

“We had the corn tortilla tacos last night, fantastic!“

“Delicious food and drinks“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great food and drinks 🍹 really good 👍🏾“

“they take debit & credit cards, very clean awesome variety dishes👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼highly recommended, affordable 👌😍😋,💯⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Early to the Mint and want some restaurant-quality food but can skip the table service? Scoot across the street down a block for what is definitely the higher end of street tacos. Tablecloths and plenty of seating makes it more comfortable than hovering around. Family run. Will plan to dine again for the next show!“

“so good, and the service was amazing“

“Love the food here. The tacos are excellent and the quesadillas are phenomenal. The owners are super friendly, attentive, and the prices are fair. If you see their tent, run right to em and get a quesadilla stat!! Their barbacoa is some of the best I've ever had.“

“I’ve been coming here for years, and I stopped by again recently. Honestly, it’s just as good as I remember from a couple years ago. The burritos are still packed with flavor, the ingredients taste fresh, and the portions are solid. It’s nice to see that the quality hasn’t changed at all. The service was friendly too, and everyone was quick and welcoming. Definitely one of those places that’s stayed consistent over the years, and I’ll definitely keep coming back.“

“Solid street style tacos which were delicious. Lots of meat options, we tried the chicken, al pastor and carne asada tacos. They have all toppings available separately including 3 different salsas. Service was quick, they accept cash, Venmo and Zelle! 3 tacos was perfect for me, they are on the small size but fairly packed with meat.“

“Excellent tocos along Santa Monica boulevard! 🌮🌮🌮“

“I have been following tacos 1986 on Instagram (joy tostada) and have been wanting to try his tacos. we planned a family vacations to California to try their tacos and they did not disappoint. Tacos were DELICIOUS!! and the staff was very friendly. We even came in more than once to eat. Highly recommend it.“

“This place is the best spot to get Mexican food! They serve the most delicious quesadillas, the tastiest burritos, and the best tacos you’ll find anywhere. The quality is always excellent, everything is fresh, full of flavor, and made with great care. It’s honestly the best quesadilla and burrito I’ve ever had. These guys really know what they’re doing when it comes to Mexican food!“

“Definitely a solid taco truck. Parked next to a public park, didn’t have an aggressive homeless presence so I felt safe and enjoyed my meal at one of the local benches.

Everything was delicious but the stars of the show were definitely the asada, Al pastor and fish tacos. The shrimp taco is prepared just like the fish taco, but fish was the definite winner. As for the chicken, it was fine, just nothing to write home about. All in all 8.5/10“

“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!“

“Nice Yogurtland location, typical as they all are... This one seems to be a little more expensive than in the Basin....“

“Really great experience here! The staff was incredibly welcoming and the restaurant has a laid-back vibe. The food was delicious, even though my chicken and carnitas came out a little dry. The flavors were so good that it completely made up for it. Highly recommend checking them out!“

“@thewickedkitchen. My first time and won't be last I cant wait to try everything on the menu. The quality of food is above and beyond a typical food truck. The taste is amazing. The portions are huge and ingredients are super quality. Can not say enough how much I recommend this place.“

“me encantaron las hamburguesas!“

“Super deliciosos, los mejores tacos estilo D.F en Los Ángeles, CA sus salsas exquisitas“

“Good tacos and they stack it with meat!! All hand made tortillas. I got nothing but Al Pastor the meat was good. I tried their Sope it was giant for $5 and a quesadilla ($10) which was stacked. Definitely be coming back nice hard working people. I paid with cash not sure if they take card.
Update: they take zelle and queso tacos are 🤘🏽👌🏽“

“Las conchitas de Taro son deliciosas y Araceli me atendio miy bien“

“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!“

“The el pastor tacos are bomb! You’re not supposed to park in the gas station, but I bought a soda inside then got my tacos. Fresh to order, the el pastor burrito for $11 is huge and amazing. Great toppings bar with free grilled onions and jalapeño“

“We've been coming to Baja California Tacos for years. The shrimp and fish tacos never disappoint and they are at an extremely affordable price. The ceviche is always fresh and there are many options to choose from. They have parking in the back which is always a plus in LA.“

“Wonderful place to eat and engage in good conversation because of the atmosphere/setting. Staff extremely polite and friendly. Food is definitely worth the visit !
I frequent the Wilshire location in Santa Monica every time i get the desire for next level Mexican Food . 🏆🏆🏆“

“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!“
