“Tamales Naborina is truly a hidden gem a street vendor that has been a staple in Watts for years. It’s the kind of place that’s known by locals, and while it’s somewhat of a well-kept secret, I believe everyone deserves to experience their incredible tamales!

**Location:** You can usually find the bright yellow food truck at the corner of 105th and Wilmington Avenue.

**Service:** The service is impressively quick, especially given the number of customers they serve in the morning. You'll be in and out before you know it!

**Parking:** Keep in mind that parking is limited to street parking, so be prepared to search for a spot and take a short walk to the truck.

**Food:** The tamales here are as authentic as it gets! They use traditional masa with lard and offer a variety of fillings, including red chicken, green chicken, red pork, and cheese tamales. I always opt for their cheese tamales, as they truly do not skimp on the cheese-to-masa ratio, make sure you ask for extra napkins to absorb the grease from the tamales. Don’t forget to grab their green salsa topped with onion and cilantro—it’s a must-have accompaniment and their champurrado is delicious!

On weekends, they also offer banana leaf-wrapped tamales and corn tamales, also known as Uchepos—if you know, you know!

**Overall:** If you’re looking for authentic and delicious tamales, Naborina Tamales is a must-visit. Their offerings are not only tasty but also filling, making it worth the trip!“

“first time & i loved it. its a cute little place and prizes are good! Got a carne asada pambazo and it was DELICIOUS. i went straight to eating it, so forgot to take a photo 😅
ps they also got vegetarian options & you can pay with zelle.“

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

“I actually came here by accident while looking for a different taco spot, but I’m really glad I did. The reviews caught our attention, so we decided to give it a try—and it did not disappoint.

It’s a really unique twist on tacos, with a pastrami-style concept that you don’t see often, and they absolutely pulled it off. Everything was delicious. We ordered the Picante, which was great, but I’ve got to say—the Rickster looked incredible. It had that Thousand Island-style dressing and honestly looked like a must-try next time.

Definitely recommend checking this place out. It’s something different, and totally worth it.“

“The food was very good but the service efficiency was very low. I hadn't gone to eat for a while and now that they moved to Calle Paloma, the waitress service was not efficient at all. I spent about 30 minutes waiting for them to take my order and they never did and I better end up leaving.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Amazing Food! Great Flavor! Great Place To Eat, Highly Recommended! 🌮🌮🌮🍜“

“DELICIOUS,TASTY AMD FLAVORFUL HIGHLY RECOMMEND“

“I hired Sierra Guisados (Lucy and fam) to cater my mom’s retirement party this summer and I couldn’t be happier with their service, food, and set-up. They were on time and professional and everything from the beans, rice, salsas, aguas, and tacos was so authentic and delicious. Everyone loved it!

If you are visiting their pop-up arrive early for the vegetarian options 🤤“

“me encantaron las hamburguesas!“

“First time in southern California ( landed in LAX) was driving down to San Diego for a job and really wanted to try some tacos. And found this golden gem on the way. Nice people, amazing tacos ( that remind you of Mexico) highly recommend to try it!“

“Corner taco stand. Simple yet delicious. How a true taco should be. Ordered asada & suadero. Both good but Asada was way better. I’m used to the suadero being deep fried in the oil but it seemed it was actually more of a broth. Suadero meat was then seared/ fried on the grill. Still good though but not Mexico City suadero tacos good“

“Exelente servicio de buena calidad y su personal muy amable totalmente de acuerdo con su Servicio. 100% Recomendable“

“amazing fresh fruit. large portions for cheap but amazing quality.“

“Been wanting to go for a while and it did not disappoint. I went with my brother and got the California burger with no jalapeños and the seasoned fries. The meat quality is great and you can tell that these guys are just trying to flip some burgers which really gives off a friendly vibe. The seasoned fries were good and definitely seasoned and the PERFECT texture (crispy on the outside and soft on the inside). I will definitely be coming back.“

“This should be a case study or TED talk about how a team can be successful.

This is a very organized, efficient and cool little street taco stand. Everybody there had a great attitude and attention to detail and service for all the customers there.

If we lived here we'd be back regularly.“

“Been going there for last 10 years Specializes strictly in pork tacos out of home garage only on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Pork skin, pork roast, and buche. All boiled. Ample meat on tacos, also sells in bulk. Go early usually sold out around noon. Best in town.“

“We had a burrito recommended by the chef and the Birria plate. Both delicious and service was very quick and friendly. Nowhere to sit in the immediate area which isn’t their fault of course. We sat across the street at the shaded bus station and managed just fine :)“

“As close as it gets to Mexico City street tacos without eating eating Mexico City street tacos. The staff is friendly and the food is delicious. Our tacos were so flavorful that I forgot to squeeze lime in mine and my husband forgot to put salsa in his. We ended up getting more to go. If we didn’t live all the way on the other side of the US, we would be back for sure. We had the al pastor tacos, queso birria tacos, and consomé.“

“Columbia Heights location is wonderful! Best pupusas ever. The slaw mix and red sauce goes perfectly with them. Always hot and well made💕“

“Local Taqueria worth the stop.“

“$1.50 taco Tuesday. The red sauce is fiery spicy and delicious. I like that they have the onion and cilantro and sauces in bags/wrapped up so it’s not just sitting out exposed to the environment.

They have 8 plastic chairs so better to pick up and go.

Writing this while waiting for the tacos. Will update re taste“

“I was recommended to try this place and boy I will forever be grateful for this hint. In LA they're multiple taco stand like this, but this one was by far one of the best one. The salsas where extremely good. Tacos where pack with meat. And, try their volcanoes they're awesome!“

“Although Tacos Gavilan is a chain, I have to give them kudos with consistency. You can go to any of their 14 SoCal locations and expect to get the same great flavor, size and customer service. The al pastor burrito slaps and is super flavorful, pair it with a hint of lemon and salsa, goooodness! They are reasonably priced and offer taco Tuesdays! Inside is always clean and service fast! Give them a try if you ever pass by one! Pre-covid they offered an amazing salsa bar, where one can get cilantro, onions, pickled jalapeno and carrots, radish and salsas. This time around I visited the drive thru but a few months back the salsa bar still wasn’t open.“

“Great tacos. Cucumbers. I think they were grilling the onions and cilantro. They ran out and I saw them preparing more on the comal. Fresh made tortillas. Con la maquina, but fresh made.“

“Los mejores tacos de al vapor los recomiendo estos son los mejores de Guadalajara“

“Best arepas in town :) such a warming friendly staff. I highly recommend them!“

“las gringas espevialidad de la casa“

“Simplemente delicioso y la atención perfecta 🤩“

“Great BBQ food. Chicken, sausage, ribs, sides are good too. Bbq bean I like them. Potato was perfect. Mac cheese I'm not big on it but it was good too. Bbq sauce was a bit on the sour side for me. I like a sweeter taste. Over all my order was worth the price.💯👍 For sure to come again.“

“The best !!! They r so friendly .. everything is delicious 🤤 my favorite so far is the Dubai strawberry! Everything is made fresh so be nice and be patient.“

“😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️“

“Classic Street Taco stand. Al pastor on a spit, asada, cabeza, lengua and tripas. You can also get your choice of meat over a baked potato. Good is generally tasty, although I thought the pastor was a little oversalted on my visit last night.“
