They have the most incredible quesadillas. I also so appreciate that they lower the cost if you ask for no meat. I get with or without. Their chicken quesadilla has become my favorite in LA. Wonderfully seasoned, juicy chicken with the perfect amount of cheese. And that quesadilla is GRILLED. I got up for a bit to get drinks and that look nearly 10 with the line at the brewery. And when I got back, my quesadilla was still too hot to touch. The little chips and quac that come with it are so good too. And their salsa verde is also quite good. We battle the incredibly tough parking in the arts district to come here, and every time it is worth it.

Worst tacos I've ever had. The meat is not marinated in chimichurri like they advertise. You're better off going to the taco trucks on the street. $12 for 3 tacos plus tax!!! The price is ridiculous and not even worth it. Totally disappointed and surprised they are still open at Angel City despite having 3 starts on yelp. Customer service and quality of food deserves 1 star.

Great Tacos and friendly customer service! Miss them coming to Downey.

Overall, I really wish there was a better food option at Angel City. It's convenient but by no means is it anything more. I waited in a ~15 minute line, which is fine. As my card was at the bar for my tab, I looked for signs stating "card only or "no cash"... something along those lines. I didn't see any and even saw a container for tips, so I figured I was all set and would use cash. I get to the front of the line, order and upon trying to pay with cash, am told that they do not accept cash. The gentleman apologized as I mentioned there was no sign stating this and that my card was at the bar. I said I'd get it and come back. So I go back to the bar to get my card.. The bartender felt badly and helped me close my tab so I could get my card- even giving me a community discount (which I'd never gotten before, as my 'vintage' growler likely identified me as a long time customer lol) ! Then, I went back... to stand in line again! It was ~10 minutes this time and after I ordered, I went to the restroom and then tried to go feed my meter when the buzzer for my food went off. Oooook. I go back to the truck where people are placing their orders and wonder if they'll see me come back or call out my number or something-- but, as it turns out, nothing happened. Finally after the 3rd person orders, I interrupt (so sorry!) and ask if my food is ready or not as I've been waiting and am not sure what to do and still need to feed the meter. Someone gets my tacos-which had been ready sitting on top of something (aka: had been ready for a while) and hands me the plate. I rush the tacos over to my partner & run to pay the meter. Upon my return, the asada tacos were finally tasted. Tough, flavorless and skimpy. $4/taco is a little on the pricey side for me, especially with dry meat. The taco plate comes 3/order without any way to add an extra taco, so there's no way to have an even number if you'd like to share... unless you order a lot more. I will say I enjoyed the salsa verde, but one can not live on salsa alone :( I'll not be coming back. A simple "card only" sign would have been helpful! I also felt strangely mocked by their cash tips container

We went to the Avocado Fest at the Angel City Brewery by Little Tokyo and this truck seemed to be the main attraction as far a food goes for this event! We were quite hungry but didn't want to fill up since we had plans to eat elsewhere after grabbing some drinks. We ordered some nachos to share and a few tacos. While taking our order, the young man asked if the characters on my bf's shirt were from Spirited Away but it was actually from Princess Mononoke which he knew as well! Loved that. While waiting for our order, he asked if we wanted some free churros and ice cream so ofc we took it! Perfect for this super hot summer weather and we also walked a good couple of blocks from where we parked. We grabbed our nachos and churro ice cream and headed to a table while waiting for the tacos. The nachos are LOADED!! Super good but it was too much even splitting it between 2-4 people. My bf enjoyed the tacos when he got them and their pastor was very interesting because it came with pineapple! Very good but the hot sauce is HOT. I can't handle the spice very well but overall their food is delish. IG: @ammysalamii

Good tacos! Their salsas, chips and guacamole are the best.

Worst experience ever. Ordered carne asada nachos and a quesadilla. Nachos were served immediately upon paying which was basically a bunch of store bought chips covered in Tajín with unmelted cheese and cold meat they tried to pass off as carne asada. Quesadilla was served about twenty minutes later with a side of oil. Surprised that Angel City stands by this food as an option inside their brewery. Should have ordered from the food trucks outside the brewery instead. Overpriced and underwhelming.

Get your tacos right outside at the taco truck outside.Waited 1 hr for Al Pastor tacos. They are charging regular posted priced for nachos but don’t give you the guacamole. When you ask them where the guac is they are “out of guac but charge less”. They charge regular price for the nachos and lie to your face that they “lowered” the price.

Moises Mendez

They charge you for guac on nachos but don’t give you the guac. The wait was 1 hour for our tacos (I have proof if you want to reply). Just get your tacos or food elsewhere before coming here.

Good for a spot in the brewery since you are already there

The food is average in my opinion. I made it a effort to always try to look at the bright side but the service was outside of what I'm used to and my standards of decency aren't that high or unrealistic

If you don't mind waiting forever and then skipping you over everyone else, this is your place. They will ship you and make it sound like you're not waiting 45 mins already.
