Food Stands in Los Angeles, CA

“The best tacos in California!“

“They are the best tacos I've ever had at a good price, and the tortillas are handmade $1.50. The meat is very tasty and don't tell me the al pastor ones are good. I've bought these tacos since day one, they hardly had people, but now what happened here they are full of people that means they are progressing congratulations for the boys,,,,,,, The tacos are very good“

“Delicious …. Great food truck authenticity“

“Flew in from Canada to try corn man.
Thought it was sketchy buying corn from a man in the middle of the night. Turned out to be a life changing experience. 5/7 Corn was as sweet as the dream I had that night. Would buy corn from sketchy man again.“

“This cart is a great example of what I love about the LA food scene: tucked off the boulevard, in front of the municipal parking, is high quality, hand made food at a great price.

Asked for suggestions of what to get and was suggested a mix of Huitlachoche and Chicharron. The blue masa is pressed and cooked to order, cooked with cheese, and then finally cooked with the fillings. A nice addition to the salsa bar is the cotija cheese which went great with my Quesadilla.

The Quesadilla was phenomenal; the Huitlachoche was cooked well and had an almost stewed like texture that was cut by the saltiness and crispness of the Chicharrons. The crisp cheese and fresh tortilla were great as well.

For $9 this was a great lunch, looking forward to coming back again.“

“Some of the best birria in LA hands down, la birria de chivo (goat) is just amazing here. They make tortillas freshly big plus for me. Prices are really good, you pay about $20 for an order that can feed 2-3 people . I am a big guy and love to eat, so its amazing…. You gotta try this spot“

“Hands down the best wood-fired pizza in town! The crust is perfectly crisp, the toppings are fresh and flavorful, and every bite is pure perfection. Its not greasy and doesnt make you feel gross after. Just perfection. I LOVE this place. Friendly staff and quick service make it even better. A must-visit for any pizza lover! 🍕🔥“

“Just ate there the food was good. Me and my wife loved it. Highly recommend this place. The chicken tacos were great.“

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

“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.“

“Man I wish I had this close to home , every time I’m in La this is my go to taco shop I’ve tried many from random YouTube videos but never beats out these tacos . Such an authentic Mexican spot I’m hungry rn typing this out but damn I can use 4 asada 1 chorizo rn 🤣🤣🤣 everything is really good n how you would expect it to taste . Much love from nor cal to my taco spot in LA you guys are appreciated“

“Best burgers around! I drive from OC to eat these delicious burgers!“

“exelente servicio la comida muy sabrosa😋 aquí encuentra amabilidad y cortecia 😍 🤩“

“The flavor of the tacos is good, compared to other taquerias in this area, except that they are tacos with a single tortilla, and in general I like that they serve two tortillas. In general, customer service is not very friendly. They are only involved in their work and don't take the time to say hello or say thank you for the purchase.“

“Good fast mexican and amercan food good selections of veggie options greay service !!!!“

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

“Huuuuge portions of really tasty food. This place is a sleeper- great value for LA. The food is prepared with care and the flavors don’t disappoint. I have had the Habibi a few times with chicken and it’s such a good burrito. Cucumber salad was tasty and the Jamaica is really tart ! Just the way I like it.“

“食材很新鲜，素食主义者的天堂“

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

“One of the best chicken sliders I’ve ever had. The honey based sauce is to die for. The food slaps hard. I couldn’t recommend this place enough.“

“My daughter and I absolutely love Crepes Hollywood, they take such great care of their customers. They don't just make food, they make art!

Parking: Plenty of parking at the Target

Kid-friendliness: My 10 year old loves this place, the owners are so nice!“

“Tacos de pastor muy ricos“

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

“I had read an article in Conde Nast Traveler about the place so we decided to stop in for a bite. Didn't realize it was "those type of quesadillas", how embarrassing LOL. No worries! Got to meet Gabriella the owner, so nice and invited us to tour the kitchen, even though it was late in the day on New Years Eve. Such a great story with her and family recipes handed down from her grandparents. Worth a stop in! And I imagine calling her in advance she will give you a tour as well...“

“Short Stop Pizza - Thanks a lot !This is the number one dining place I can think of for the best places to eat any meal of the day.They have an excellent variety of food as well as accommodating servers who always put their customer's needs first.“

“I just ordered from Dante Fried Chicken Ghost Kitchen in Koreatown, and wow the chicken was beautifully piping hot and incredibly juicy. You can tell they've brined it just right, the buttermilk soak really shines through. Definitely one of the most tender bites of fried chicken I've had. It lives up to its buzz!“

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

“✨✨SHOW STOPPER ✨✨
✨EXPLOSION OF FLAVOR ✨
WOW!!! This was our first stop coming into town and wouldn’t have wanted it any other way! The second the first bite of Alex’s incredible burrito and street tacos hit my mouth there was no going back. His ability to create such incredible flavors in not only the burrito itself, but all of the add ons and sauces as well is OUT OF THIS WORLD!! Would go again, again, AND AGAIN! 😋 Not to mention Alex’s ability to make you feel at ease and have a great time in such a comfortable setting.

If you don’t stop here, you must not like top notch culinary delights and authentic experiences 😊🔥🌯🌮“

“We ordered 4 Taiyakis for only $12. Then the owner was so sweet! She offered a 5th one for free. Got our fresh Taiyakis after pager rang quickly! All flavors were great: Red bean, apple, custard cream, mango, and chocolate filling within freshly baked crunchy shells. We almost wanted to order another round if we were not on the way of leaving Little Tokyo Market. Must try again next time!

Kid-friendliness: The fresh fish shaped Taiyaki tastes much better than the frozen one kids usually get in stores.“

“Local Taqueria worth the stop.“

“The fact that we felt transported in time with the vibe alone is 5 stars. I got treated to a perfect chilaquiles en mole covered with sunny side up eggs. Side of refried beans and white rice sprinkled with cotija cheese. One word. Phenomenal. Add a chia lemonade, and I'd say I had the perfect breakfast. Second dish was a pozole with a side of pata had to order a second pata it was so good and tender. Radio Joya in the background playing, definitely took us Mexico City in what felt a 70s era. Highly recommend this place .“

“Los tacos están deliciosos. 100% recomendados. Los tacos tienen mucha carne.“

“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.“

“We are from Guadalajara Mexico, they are not good…. They are delicious, the tacos las aguas, the quesadillas, this place is one hundred percent recommended to anyone who knows about Mexican tacos, their tacos are better than many places in Mexico, well served and everything they prepare is very delicious. The large roast quesadilla with tripe is a championship, only for connoisseurs... thank you very much for your service, first time I have eaten tacos outside of Mexico, they are delicious...“

“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!“

“DELICIOUS,TASTY AMD FLAVORFUL HIGHLY RECOMMEND“

“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 ??“

“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 :)“

“Some super birria tacos, and not to mention on the weekends; tacos al pastor. A delicious tacos, al pastor are genuine Mexican style, the closest thing in Los Angeles. You can also order a plate of birria which comes with meat and their tortillas on the side. Another option is beef birria, for those who don't like goat. The great assortment of cakes, quesabirrias and quesadillas among other things. The trompo and grilled tacos al pastor can only be found on the weekend. Now you can also find Ramen with birria and quesabirrias.“

“I was told this place was good by a group of friends. I was invited to a Torta with Carne Asada and was very impressed by the quality. It's very authentic food , flavor packed Mexican food a 2am hits different.
I definitely want to go back!
The area is a little tight and parking isint the best and it is a little sketchy at night around there“

“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“

“I stumbled across “nugtown” for late food in the area and was pleasantly surprised! Not only was the food made fresh to order - I literally watched him batter and fry them - the owner was the sweetest human who genuinely cared about his services. He even threw in every sauce (which are bomb btw) so we could try and report back. I brought them home to my boyfriend and he couldn’t stop telling people that we found a new go-to spot! Wishing Nugtown the utmost success!! ?

Also PS $20 for 20 QUALITY nuggets!“

“I’ve been dying to try these haunt dogs since I came across them on Instagram! I finally located the frankenstand this last weekend ! It was definitely well worth the wait ! The toppings were delicious! Not only was the food amazing but the ambience of his stand gave it some spooky vibes which I absolutely love !!! The crazy part is, I’m not even vegan, and I would choose these forever snd ever. My friends were also very pleased with their dogs as well. They even bought some to go for later ! They also loved the vibes and Ray was freakn awesome to talk to ! I’ll definitely stalk his next location and be back for more !!!! The entire experience was absolutely perfect !!!“

“muy rico todo 100% recomendado cuando vengan a los Angeles pasen a comerse unos tacos!! Toda la comida esta bien rica!!“

“me encantaron las hamburguesas!“

“The taco 5y10 is what you come here for. It’s delicious! The freshly handmade yellow corn tortilla is delicious and soft. I got the taco de cabeza which is would highly recommend. The fattiness of the cabeza complements the black bean filling of the taco, both in flavor and texture. My fiancé ordered the taco de al pastor which was also good but we both agreed the cabeza was better. One taco 5y10 is bigger than any burrito, so one is more than enough. They cut the taco in half so that it fits in the styrofoam box, so if you’re interested in trying different meats, brining a friend, each other a different meat and swap halves. Also, the agua de horchata is delicious! Definitely homemade, not from a packet.“

“I feel passionate about this one - people are sleeping on Ricos Tacos Naomi! First of all, the tortillas are made by hand. That’s enough to set this place apart from the tens of other tacos spots using low-quality tortillas. The tortilla should not be an after thought, folks! Second, the meats are delicious. Their al pastor is juicy and well-seasoned. I am a sucker for tripa but I’m always hesitant to order it because some people don’t know how to clean it and cook it. The tripa at Ricos Tacos Naomi is fantastic! You can ask the guy to crisp it up if you want it crunchy, but personally, I like it soft. And third, the toppings (salsas and guacamole) are yummy!“
