50 Best Taco Restaurants near Highland Park

“There was a woman working this morning around 3:30AM who recommended the creamy avocado ranch sauce which is incredibly tasty and made my meal experience much better. Now I know to get the avocado lime sauce which pairs perfectly with curly fries and chicken tenders. If you're reading this, I thoroughly enjoyed your recommendation. Not all heroes wear capes.“

“Villa's Tacos were amazing! and I'm not saying this just because of the hype of the Super Bowl. I'm saying this because I mean it. The tacos were just amazing to me. Not your regular everywhere tacos. These tacos were homemade recipes. I had the carne asada, pork with potato (puerco con papa) & beans with cactus (frijoles con nopal). It's a week later that I tried these tacos and I can't stop talking about them. My favorite was the beans with cactus. Soooo good. Also, the atmosphere was just so nice and lively. I truly enjoyed every minute of my visit here. Thank you Villa's Tacos, we will return.“

“It’s 6:40 on a Saturday night and I’m alone in this taco shop. I can’t understand that. Maybe it’s a K-town secret.
The food has excellent flavor. I ordered the carne asada bowl. The crunchies in top are special. It’s delicious, but the steak is a little chewy. It’s a lot of food for a reasonable price. The red salsa is super tasty, but use caution with the yellow salsa. She’ll make you cry.
I’ll probably come back tomorrow and order the chicken.
The employers are sweet. The shop is clean.“

“Delicious and fast tacos. The restaurant knows what they are doing. The lines moved so fast and I got me food within 5 minutes. They have complementary potatoes which is awesome since they help with the spicy of the spicy salsas. They also have a self serve salsa and topping bar which is my favorite so I can generously garnish and drench my tacos in salsas. We realized this was a really popular spot in this area because it was already 12 am and this place was still really packed. Really delicious and authentic tacos, will definitely come back again.“

“Local Taqueria worth the stop.“

“Delicious …. Great food truck authenticity“

“Anytime anyone visits me in LA I take them to Angels to have tacos. They are reasonably priced, generously served, quick, home made tortillas. All of my visitors rave about this place and when they plan on visiting they always ask if we can get Angels tacos. 🌮 😋“

“Me gusta la comida pero no tienen q perder el cuidado en la presentación de los platos y asegurarse q lleven todo eso es muy importante aun tengan mucha junte haser los platos con la misma cuidado de ciempre“

“Very unassuming place. It looks modest and you would never guess how phenomenal the food is! Everything is freshly made. Hand cut folded wrapped prepped you got it. Best tacos I've tasted on this side of the border. Seating and parking is limited.“

“Best Tacos I have ever had. No joke. Girlfriend & I stayed in Pasadena for a vacation a few weeks back, ended up getting these 4 nights in a row. I’m not even lying when I tell you this little Taco Truck was potentially the highlight of my entire vacation. God I wish I could have some more.“

“love simon. recently the quality has decreased a bit, with twice getting soggy oily tacos that just dont have the care put into them that they used to. the new digital ordering tablet is really bad. i also wish they would put their salsas into to-go cups for you so it would be cleaner than a communal station. four stars because they used to be my favorite truck in la and i know what they’re capable of!“

“The best tacos in California!“

“Came here not expecting much. Thought it would be just a regular taco place. I don't usually say , these are delicious tacos! But, hey these are really delicious tacos. We ordered flautas , they were perfectly fried, the crunch was crunching! The lettuce , guacamole, and queso fresco was fresh. The tacos de asada and lengua were flavorful and well seasoned. The agua de horchata tasted original not from a mix. Their flan and chocoflan was authentic and the cafe de olla was chef's kiss! My family and I will definitely be coming back! Reasonably priced and very clean ! Great polite and fast service!“

“I'll be honest the atmosphere is not good yet if you wish to taste an authentic Mexican dish ex taco, burrito etc with hand made tortillas and great quality of meats and vegetables this is the place to go. And moreover the prices are cheap. I'm definitely coming back.!😁“

“The food was delicious, large portions, and very affordable. We bought a burrito, 2 tacos, a quesadilla plate, and a bottled water all for under $40 🤯 not to mention one taco will fill you up, it was the size of a small burrito. The other cool thing about this place is its like a food court, there's any type of food you can think of including dessert and drinks. We passed up the place and there's a $10 parking lot right on the other side of the lot. We will definitely be back!“

“amazing food with an amazing chef. I came here before the hype and met the chef and he told me a little about the mission before they blew up and now it’s so cool to see him get his roses from all of his hard work.

the food is quality! the ribeye melts in your mouth, the pork belly is beautifully done and I love the suadero. make sure you get one of the agua frescas as well, the watermelon and jamaica are my favorite. i’ve had almost everything on the menu now and there isn’t a wrong choice. listen to your stomach you won’t be let down!“

“👍People are very warm and accommodating“

“This place was phenomenal. The staff and owner were so friendly and engaging. The food was top tier. I had the street tacos and Avocado rolls. The tacos were portioned really well and the shredded beef was flavorful. The Avocado rolls tasted so fresh and the roll was light and fluffy. I could eat the roll without any fillingb, thats how good it was. The sauce that came with it was good as well. The fresh juice was a winner as well. The customer service, price, portion size, and freshness of the ingredients makes this place 5 star. I will definitely visit again and recommend this place as 10 out of 10.“

“Muy buenos los tacos, hoy dogs, militas, burritos. Todo muy bueno“

“Such a cute place and the food is delicious. The service was good too. I had the fish taco and it was out of this world, the portion was generous as well. I also had the vegetarian burrito and a bean and cheese burrito, those were insane as well 🤯“

“La comida está riquísima mis respetos para todos Siempre que vamos nos ha tiende “Jorge “ bien atento con lo que necesitas Los tacos de pulpo 🐙 los mejores #1“

“Amazing hospitality, great service and even better food. Cheers to this family run business working passionately to maintain standards and quality of food. If you haven’t been here at least once, you are missing out. Stop by, say hello to the owner and his daughter Jasmine.“

“the food looks and tastes authentic. They have a hand-made tortilla option. I recommend "una de surtido a mano" trust fam“

“You can never go wrong bringing a friend from out of town here at Upper West, joining family members to celebrate or just coming over to have a really tasty and good quality healthy meal! The owners greet guests, servers are attentive and the food is amazing! We come here often and love the appetizers from the chopped salad, to the crunchy rice tuna and cauliflower, to their main staples steak tacos, their seabass and short ribs! Do not forget the pudding for dessert! Wine selection is also great!“

“I drive by this spot all the time and finally stopped to give it a try. I got the Al Pastor burrito and was sooo happy with my choice. You see them cooking it right in front of you, all fresh. The tortillas are handmade as well and you can absolutely tell the difference. Love the salsas as well. It’s quick, reasonably priced, and everyone is kind. What more can you want from a local taco stand? If you are wondering whether to stop in, just do it already and thank me later“

“Best of the best of the best. The guy who was serving drinks instantly asked if I wanted to order and I said yes, he pulls out a checkbook and started taking my order. Food was done in 15 min after that and all staff are nice in red shirts!!“

“Angelica who works there was a savior! It was our first time ordering at a street taco place and didn’t know the language. She was amazing at explaining things and helped us get the best deal. We ordered a combo of 4 pork tacos and 1 pork ribs - all for $15!“

“the prices aren't are not that expensive they got some good food here and good staff“

“Best tacos ACTUALLY! Family owned and very kind folks. Had 2 carne asada and 1 chicken tacos. The tortillas were fire and the meat sooo delicious. You also get to put your own toppings and they have guac as an option (not as an expensive add on). So yummy!“

“Not even gonna lie. Some of the best tacos I've had here. The chicken wasn't pretty but it was dang sure good. It was for sure up to par with the pork. The pork was that crispy cook too, but they could cook it how u like. Where im for sure sold is that the tacos are cheap. I've noticed the price rise over the years. Another plus goes to the location. I believe if they aren't there, or right next to them this dude makes these mash potato meat and veggie bowls in the potato. Im telling you, you really have to check out the food on the street. Both the tacos and the potatoes. Last thing, they weren't those little tacos either. Nah, these tacos got gains. Please don't miss out.“

“The best Mexican food in maywood .. great service ..got to try green wet burritos are 🔥“

“Been meaning to hit this place, but always pass them up. Glad I stopped by, they got some good eats here. Tried the Vamipro with bistec and potato. Nice and crispy hand made tortilla. Potatos were healthy cut pieces and soft. Also had the Guisado sampler and man they are not shy with the servings. I definitely recommend the sampler plate if you are wanting to try the different options of guisados. For this location early is better as they do sell out of items on the early side. They also have restaurant where you can get there goods as well.“

“We drive 35 miles at least three times a month to eat here. We love Home State and as a Native Texan, I can attest that their queso is the real deal!!! I just wish they'd open one in Claremont, CA!!! The Don't Mess With Texas is my favorite taco and my husband loves the brisket taco. Everything is amazing though!!!“

“Happy“

“On our recent trip to California, we got to to eat and drink at amazing restaurants & bars. One of them was Guisados in Pasadena. It was a great experience with exceptional tacos as well as house made Sangria !! We had fish tacos, chicken tacos as well pork - all were delicious, freshly prepared with tortillas being made from scratch. The restaurant has limited inside seating but a great outdoor patio. Staff are friendly, helpful and with big smiles !!“

“One of the BEST tacos in L.A.! The alpastor and chicken tacos are SO GOOD! I had to go back and order two more of each one! They offer tacos, tortas, mulitas, and burritos! Their salsa is what really wraps up the tacos! 🔥 very spicy and flavorful! The meat was so tender, juicy and full of flavor. I had their agua fresca de Jamaica 🌸 and it was very good! They have a table and stools where you can sit and enjoy your food there. Highly recommend! 10/10“

“Saw this place on Instagram it looked good so decided to give it a try had the chilaquiles red sauce eggs sunny side up and chorizo it was tasty sauce was mild and chips were light and crunchy even with the sauce eggs cooked it has inside seating and a small outdoor area place is busy ya its that good.“

“Had a great meal here before a show at the Paramount. My husband had fajitas and I had the potato dish with added rosemary potatoes 🤩. I couldn’t finish mine - very filling but absolutely delicious. The proprietor is welcoming and helpful. We will definitely return and I will make more sensible choices!“
