Highly recommend to anyone who appreciates great food from a local spot that focuses on what matters — flavor and authenticity.“

“I had a breakfast burrito and horchata based on the recommendations of the host. Excellent choice! I thought this was a mom and pop place, but it turns out they have at least six locations in the Southern California area. Go to their website and check it out. You will not be disappointed in the atmosphere, the quality of the food, or the quality of service - and the prices are reasonable, too!“

“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.“

“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

“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.“

“Solid tacos nearby LAX! I do think other places in LA prob give more pastor and tastes a bit better but their meats were solid. I also got their tripa and they made it extra crispy for me and it was pretty good. $3 per taco which is on the higher end and also they do not make their own tortillas. Solid place and will visit again when visiting LAX“

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

“highly recommend went to the one in Venice Beach. sooooooo good!!!“

“DELICIOUS,TASTY AMD FLAVORFUL HIGHLY RECOMMEND“

“las gringas espevialidad de la casa“

“Incredibly amazing customer service on top of some of the best Mexican food I have ever had in my entire life! I must say the yellow peppers in the free condiments bar are to die for!!?? I will be definitely always come back to this place when in the area!“

“Seriously the best tacos around. I would eat these everyday if I could 🤣🌮“

“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.“

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

“Best Mexican spot we got here in the South Bay. More of a quick lunch or pick up spot so maybe the atmosphere isn’t the main thing, but who cares? IT’S DELICIOUS 🤤

Pro tip: if you are not big on spicy food, ask for spicy on the side :)“

“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.“

“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!“

“Nestled right on the sands, this exceptional taco truck not only serves up some of the most savory tacos you'll ever taste but also provides an unparalleled beachfront dining experience. Each bite of their tacos, bursting with flavor, is perfectly complemented by the serene ocean views, making it an ideal spot for both a quick bite and a leisurely meal. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this taco truck is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy great food with their toes in the sand.“

“The best Tacos and Tortas“

“Both the Asada and Encebollado de res (beef with onions) were great. I'd never encountered encebollado de res before. The al pastor was also awsome, but it was very different from what I normally think of as al pastor. I'm almost tempted to say that it wasn't really al pastor. It was delicious though. I highly recommend it. The chicken taco was very well cooked, and nice and juicy, but would have benefited from some more seasonings or a marinade or something. Still good though.“

“The TJ Barria Tacos are D'lish! I love the authentic flair, every bite is packed with flavor! You just can't go wrong with any item. People you gotta try this place. And their Miches fantastic! Yumm'O ☆☆☆☆☆“

“Great asada and al pastor tacos!! Friendly service. Went on a Wednesday around 1pm. 3 people had already ordered ahead of me and 3 people ordered right after me, so I felt good about the truck having plenty of customers.

I'd had asada tacos at Baja for $1.50 each on Tuesday and was curious to see how they compared.

This place won by a landslide. I ordered 2 asada and 2 al pastor tacos. The tacos still only cost $2.50 each and all sorts of meats. The pickled carrot, onion, and jalapenos were ? as were the grilled onions and chile. Green sauce better than Baja as well!! Also came with 2 generous lime wedges, radish, cucumber, and some corn chips.

Flavor of tacos was good but everything else on the plate is what made it phenomenal. All the flavors combined ??

Definitely try this place. I had to wait maybe 10-15 minutes after ordering, but it was worth it. You can tell he cooks with love and passion.“

“Muy buena bienvenida de Liz. Excelente atención, y la comida es buena. 100% recomendado❤️“

“Marlene was so lovely! A true hole in the wall and George puts care into the food! Their house made salsas & sauces are incredible, highly recommend the salsa verde and the green crema! (Can't go wrong with any tbh) Get the fish taco too!!! Can't wait to go back ❤️ ✨“

“🥙☕️💜I am an avid taco lover. We had never been to this adorable Taco Restaurant in Venice Beach before.
The first thing I noticed was how clean it was.
I was now anxious to have my fave food in life - beef tacos! THEY WERE out of this world.
Our entire family enjoyed the food & a quaint ambience. The Coffee is excellent as well.
I give this “Young Kid Shop”’ 5 stars! Because, if it is not on the Menu, I would bet my life Miss NADIA would not only make it, it would be absolutely delicious!
It is the cutest little beach taco shop on the boardwalk in Venice Beach. Check it out.
💟🥙🏖️“

“Muy sabrosos los tacos,100% recomendados!“

“I absolutely love this place and even though I’ve moved farther away, I still make the drive because it’s totally worth it. The grilled chicken is always my go-to — it has this unique sauce that I’ve never found anywhere else. The rice is always on point, and the beans? So good. The tortillas taste homemade, and it’s clear they put a lot of care into their food. The aguas are delicious, with melon being my personal favorite. I’ve tried a few other dishes, and they’ve all been great. Plus, the staff is always friendly and welcoming. Definitely a spot that keeps me coming back!“
