Taco Restaurants near Hollywood

“How to find this place (from street level) so that your delicious veggie burrito is still hot when you go to pick it up, rather than just warm.
0. Ignore Google Maps walking directions, especially if you have an injury or disability that limits your walking. Avoid the mall courtyard, and don’t go inside the mall.
1. Instead, navigate to Gelato Festival, just off HollyWood Blvd.
2. Take the elevator located to the left of Gelato Festival; elevate yourself to level 3.
3. Exit the elevator and walk straight ahead until you see the Tacos Neza sign. (It’s probably about 80 feet.)
4. Arrive. You have avoided playing this challenge on hard mode.
5. Forget about the salsa verde until the very end, at which point you discover it’s hotter than medium. Indulge your senses.

Vegetarian options: There is a veggie burrito and a breakfast veggie burrito, rajas tacos, etc. No meat in the veggie butritos, but I assume the refried beans have lard in them. Unclear though; best to ask.

Wheelchair accessibility: Take elevator from street level (Hollywood Blvd)“

“The best tacos in California!“

“Food was really delicious and fresh. I ordered the potato and cheese taquitos, sweet potato taco and Baja fish taco. The cucumber radish slaw and habanero onions really elevated the fish taco. To drink I had the passion fruit margarita. Tuesday during happy hour offered great deals. Josh, was very friendly and helpful as a server.“

“As some other reviewers I knew this place from youtube and was glad I went here when visiting LA. The quality of the food and the friendly staff are top notch. We tried steak, chicken and falafel tacos as well as quesadillas. All were great with the chicken tacos being my favorite. I truly loved the variety of flavors you get with every single bite. It was so good that we ordered some more tacos on our way out, as a snack on our road trip.

The obvious downside is the location in a bit of a sketchy area, but I assume that can hardly be avoided in LA.“

“We were blown away by how good the tacos were and had to order a second round immediately. Our favorites were the pastor, chicken and asada. Best tacos I’ve had in LA and will be planning trips to the westside specifically to eat here again.“

“Local Taqueria worth the stop.“

“pasamos de pasadita guiados por los reviews y nos sorprendió los mejores tacos de birria qué hemos comido. recomendamos al 100 por 100“

“The soft shell crab taco was stupendous. One of the best things I've eaten this month. Unique, flavorful, absolute must have.

The Baja style fish taco was fine, but not nearly on the same level.

One taco was around $7, which is more of a gourmet price. But I would happily pay that for the soft shell crab taco.

Service was very impersonal. Nobody greeted me. Not a single word of hi/hola, thank you, goodbye. Nothing. You just enter your name and order on a tablet. A few moments later somebody looks and gestures at you to take your food. Sitting situation is not great. But it's a fast casual bite, so you're not there for a long time. FYI - this is a food truck and not a brick and mortar space.

I would go out of my way to eat the soft shell crab taco again. Wow, I'm still thinking about it.“

“Delicious …. Great food truck authenticity“

“The best tacos in LA - can't skip the vampiro (crunchy tortilla shell, cheese, and loaded with choice of meat.) The Cabeza is my favorite - so juicy and flavorful.

So worth the drive and wait, and they loaded the tacos w/ meat. If you are starving, def try the Angel's potatoes - a cheesy loaded potato with tortillas on the side!“

“K Pasa is just what the neighborhood needed. The vibes are great, the food is fast, the food is delicious and the price point is right. They have a variety of free sauces to throw in too! I’m a neighborhood regular :)

Parking: Parking is paid at the meters and free on side streets but be aware that parking in K town is always a challenge.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access.“

“Loved the tacos!!! All the variety of toppings and add ons were delicious and fresh! The sauces gave the perfect spicy, and I just can't stop raving about this place! The staff were very friendly and accommodating, and the prices were great as well. :) Wish we had places like these in Chicago, but so happy to experience tacos in the most delicious ways!! Definitely eat here!!“

“Ive tried countless taco places in la and when i came across this one, i havent been to any other place. They have by far the best tacos and they aren’t expensive at all. The horchata is really good too. It gets super crowded weekend nights but its worth the wait. The staff is also always super nice.“

“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.“

“Visited 2 separate times and got the same great service both times (proactive & friendly staff). Nice art on the walls to enjoy while you chow down.

Look no further for an excellent huevos rancheros or machaca breakfast burrito (especially if you like them with a little salsa)!“

“The tortillas are fresh and homemade! The salsa is outstanding!.. tacos are excellent!.. I particularly like the adobada, the asada, and the crispy tacos de papa… the atmosphere is definitely a little scruffy and casual, but with friendly staff and fair prices.

Parking: Just a few spots in their tricky parking lot, but street parking near by. Or take the bus, it stops right there!“

“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!“

“Delicious birria/food with outstanding service. Friendly family-ran quaint hole in the wall place. Will definitely be back.

Parking: Busy street, small business, easy to miss but worth going back around and finding parking.“

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

“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“

“Happy“

“Hands down best tacos in the neighborhood. Chicken, carnitas and al pastor are our favorites. Lots of salsas and topping to choose from. Horchata is really good too. Authentic rice flavor and not overly sweet.

Kid-friendliness: Our kids love the chicken tacos, quesadillas and horchata.

Wheelchair accessibility: On sidewalk at parking lot level.“

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

“Great tacos!!!! To be returning soon again....“

“Way better tacos than Leo's tacos. Their chicken tacos were so well marinated and juicy. Their salsas were so flavorful and they were very kind. Please take care of my people here and tip them extra so they stick around for a long time. Oh, and the pastor was dangerously delicious as well. Highly recommend ??“

“I lived in Boyle Heights for like my entire life and I finally came across this place and honestly WOW!
I ordered the chilaquiles (GREEN ALL THE WAY! ) and I also got a pink ice latte. This joint didn’t disappoint, I wanted to share this place because it deserves the recognition if you guys wanna check out my Tik tok: @nathalysplanet <333
I came back again with my sister and we got the same thing and it hit the spot! Gonna bring all the girlies to this joint ???????“

“Great tacos- super tasty, good price, has every side/ addition you could want. there’s even music playing. Has an organized ordering line and the chefs and staff were very friendly and attentive. So happy I ran into this walking to Vons. Has a few stools to sit on if you want to eat there. A table or two would be nice since gets pretty crowded but eating on the parking barrier on the side of the road w everyone still a vibe you know“

“This #TOPFAMOUS #TACOTRUCK is often around 1001 Sunset Blvd AKA historic #TOPPOPULAR #ROUTE66 that millions travel by to enter #LOSANGELES & #HOLLYWOOD , #CALIFORNIA every year. One of the best thing about #LA is the #FOODTRUCKS available to serve #TOPCULINARY experiences at any time of day or night most conveniently anywhere, which also helps prevent the masses of individuals from starving to death, so saves many lives, which is the best.“

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

“Killer el pastor,friendly,reasonable,and super clean.“

“Holy moly, my new favorite taco spot. Been meaning to try them for ages, and was finally hungry enough on my way home from the cinematheque. Here’s to extraordinary art house cinema followed by extraordinary tacos.

The Al Pastor was ON POINT. It’s rare to find authentic pastor outside of DF and this is IT. As I sat by the parking lot, getting an accidental whiff of gasoline, it was almost like being back in El Defectuoso!!! Carnitas was good too, but the moist kind, rather than the crispy kind I truly love. But the meat was PILED HIGH on both tacos and the salsa bar ample and luscious. Avocado salsa!!! Don’t walk, run.“

“When I worked in downtown, our office would often order lunch from the now closed 6th Street location but I had eaten at and still do check out the still open food court spot at 7th and Fig. The one nice thing about that particular location is the option to eat in the courtyard. But the interior food court is clean, well-laid out and pleasant enough for lunch.

The food is uniformly good and prepared to order. A much better spot than any Chipotle.

Vegetarian options: Limited as with most places that cater to meat eaters but plenty for your vegetarian in a group. However, there are better options for the single or small group (2-3 people).

Dietary restrictions: They prepare to order so easy to ask them to minimize spice or cilantro or otherwise handle the simple stuff.

Parking: While not a destination, for people visiting the convention center or former Staples arena, who want to grab a bite AND avoid the overpriced tourist traps at LA Live, this is a good option.

Kid-friendliness: Very

Wheelchair accessibility: Very, although elevator is slow and for people with walkers or canes, the escalators have been down of late.“

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

“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.“

“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.!😁“

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

“DELICIOUS,TASTY AMD FLAVORFUL HIGHLY RECOMMEND“

“finally got to try them and was not disappointed!!!!! super nice owners and the taco was very delicious.“

“really and very nice ladies“

“Buenísimos las mejores carnitas“

“Was driving home when I came across this place. It was empty which is good to me lol. I ordered some tacos Al vapor and some quesa tacos. They were really good . I loved how they’re not stingy with their meat . They added a good amount of meat to the tacos .oh and your order comes with a small cup with consomé …. I’m not a fan of Mexican horchata but this one was actually really pretty good. The lady taking our order was really nice and very attentive which is a plus to me. Definitely will be coming here again . FYI , they sale the whole beef head …“

“Great Tacos, and great environment. Clear sign helps if you’re new to Tacos and service with a smile.

A great kick to the meat leaving a lasting flavor.

Make sure you get at least one chorizo taco!

Loads of parking in Vons and usually a great soundtrack as well.“

“By far and beyond the best food I've had in my life. I can say without a shadow of a doubt, I trust anything that comes off of their grill. Filling, flavorful, creative. Its the type of food that make you feel a warm glow from inside. The owners are kind and funny, they genuinely care about their customers. Everything is homemade and worth stopping by 3 times a week. I cannot say enough good things. 6 stars.“

“excellent food with homemade pressed tortillas“

“Dont judge a book by the cover. Parking suchs. Ppl are ghetto and rude in the area. Best advise order to go and have someone drop you off while they circle around. But the food is soooo good. No bullshit. Quality food and meats

Wheelchair accessibility: Noooo“

“We had enjoyed Home State prior to going to this location had a party.
My only comment would be that the food wasn’t as hot as I had hoped it would be by the time it came out to our table on the patio, but it was enjoyable. And the service is good.“

“I love this place. The food is delish, made with care in their little pop up tent & the prices can't be beat so it's easy to leave them a great tip, which they totally deserve. The pastor & asada are both so excellent that i always want them & haven't tried anything else I like things spicy & they don't scrimp on the heat.??“
