50 Best Taco Restaurants in Los Angeles

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

“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.“

“Incredible burritos and quesadillas !! I love how consistent this spot is, it never misses. Super high quality protein and generous portions. The steak is my favorite but honestly can't go wrong. Don't forget to add the toum arbol sauce on the side it's unbelievable :)“

“My boyfriend and I came here yesterday for the first time to celebrate our anniversary. The food was incredible, the staff were lovely, and the music and atmosphere was great! We absolutely loved the food- we got birria ramen, kpasa fries, and a birria quesadilla. OMG soooo delicious, we were both so happy. We loved it here and will definitely be coming back again! <3“

“Bombest burrito in LA. He brings professional hospitality to the street taco game. First time I stopped by after a long early morning shift at a coffee cart and I was greeted as I walked up. He walked me through their offerings. I wanted to try their al pastor but was too hungry for a couple tacos so I ordered it as a burrito and man, amazingly tasty. He has a flat top grill and grills the burritos *chef's kiss. I'm all for street tacos of all kinds in LA but I'd venture to say this is the cleanest operation I've been to. He takes cash but also venmo or Zelle and has all that easily accessible. Ordered a carne asada burrito this evening and it's truly ministering to me“

“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.“

“I had suuuuch high hopes for this place. Don't get me wrong, the tacos were very tasty, just soooo greasy!! My asada taco grease got all over. I mean, it didn't stop me from eating most of my food 😬🤣.... but the grease floating on my plate was a lil bit of a disappointment. 😩 Hubby's tacos were REALLY GOOD, no grease so maybe it was a bad asada night. I'LL BE BACK though.... to giver her another try.“

“Local Taqueria worth the stop.“

“Delicious …. Great food truck authenticity“

“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“

“las gringas espevialidad de la casa“

“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!“

“I am remodeling our home & my workers request that I go to Pepe's Tacos every time I decide to buy them lunch. It's easy to order with my iPhone & I ride my e-bike over to pick up the order(s) which are always ready by the time I get there. Everyone working there is always friendly & already know my name. I highly recommend this place the food is great!“

“The place has suadero! That's brisket in ingles! And the meat ratio is excellent; no skimping. Plus the amount of salsas and toppings provide for endless flavor combinations! Perhaps the best I've encountered in the in LA and maybe in Cali too! I say this as a native Angeleno and the son of Mexicans. I've tasted all the styles from San Francisco's Mission Street to Chula Vista. So happy I found this place! Es toda una chulada este lugar, riquísimo!!!“

“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.!😁“

“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.“

“Just had one (1) carne asado taco for breakfast for like $5 and, as everyone says, it's LOADED. Was perfect breakfast tbh. so so delicious. Grab one, take a seat on the sidewalk, enjoy the mild sun and DTLA morning buzz. Places like this is why I love LA.“

“Great tasting salsas and add-ons, I love their tortas and burritos especially but you can't go wrong with anything they have (quesadillas can be a bit too oily at taco trucks in general but they're still tasty). One of my favorite taco trucks, but prices are a little bit higher than most others ($14 or $13 instead of 11-12). That being said, it's still great value and really hits the spot.“

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

“Truck #2 in Tifton (Tuesday) was so good!! The lady working was so nice and the food was absolutely delicious. The frozen lemonades are my favorite!“

“We stopped here for a quick dinner, it was excellent.“

“Avocado Fresh Mexican Grill was a great find. I ordered one of their bowls, and it was fresh, flavorful, and packed with hearty portions—exactly what you want from a build-your-own Mexican bowl. Everything tasted vibrant, and the ingredients were clearly high quality.

The staff was also incredibly friendly and helpful, making the experience even better. Overall, a delicious meal and great service. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Ricooooo! Y limpio y la salsa picosa“

“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“

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

“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“

“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!“

“DELICIOUS,TASTY AMD FLAVORFUL HIGHLY RECOMMEND“

“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 always passed by here and assumed it wouldn't taste authentic and when I finally decided to stop by and test it out I was proven wrong. The Birria Torta tasted amazing and melts in your mouth. It has avocado in it with no extra charge and the price is very reasonable. It costs less than food truck. 10/10 would recommend.“

“I went yesterday for the first time with my kids.
My parents invited me, since they said they had been there before and know i love tacos/tortas/etc.
The kids and i loved it.

Kid-friendliness: They gave my kids lollipops after.“

“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.“

“This place is a gem. My wife loved the chicken tacos and the chorizo tacos. I tried the chorizo and potato burrito and it was bomb. Reminds me of the homemade ones my grandma used to make me. The red salsa was also fire. Had to order extra tacos to go for dinner. Did I mention the prices? Talk about bang for your buck! Definitely my new go to spot.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Happy“

“I can't expecting great tacos. Wasn't disappointed. What caught me off guard in the best way, though, was that they had pupusas. I love pupusas but feel like I struggle to find some that match my favorite/first love pupusas.

Um, I have a new favorite pupusas. Actual fire 🔥🔥. Let's keep it our little secret, ok? Wouldn't want the OGs to learn.“

“So fire. The shells are perfectly crispy and crunchy. They hold their shape and don’t get soggy despite the juicy meat. The chicken was so good. The fries…I’ll be back for the fries alone. I love that it’s basically a walk up window, very “taco bar” vibes. They know what they’re doing here. Reasonably priced too!“

“I'm here at an amazing spot on hillhurst in Los Feliz across from Albertsons... A staple for Mexican foods for sure 💯 I had the carne asada burrito and it's just so bomb.. the burrito was HUGE. like ol' school huge 👌 probably the most authentic Ive had in 15+ years ❤️❤️❤️❤️ ... You need to come here like now! ...Also... A drink was included. 👌 Kudos El Ruso 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 ill totally be back for sure. 🧑‍🍳👩‍🍳👨‍🍳 🤗 ....aaaand I just had their tacos 👌 holeee shit. 🖖👌👌👌🙏❤️💯✂️ Get the tacos ❤️“

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

“Buenísimos las mejores carnitas“

“some of the best tacos in town 😋🤍“

“Going to every taco truck/stand in the area to find my favorite. I’ve only been to 5 so far but this one is winning. I only get carne asada so that’s what I’m basing my judgement on, can’t speak for the rest, but if it’s anything like the asada then I’m sure it is fire.“

“No need to add pictures here guys! Amazing food doesn’t need justification have to experience it! Let me start by letting everyone know that they let you make your OWN BURRITOS!! Who the hell let’s you do this? Not like chipotle acting like they do which isn’t even legit Mexican food.. ( At least not that I know ) they serve your protein on the tortilla and let you scoop out whatever else you would like, this-is insane !! Anyways my wife and I were so excited to try Tacos El Gordito after a horrible experience at el TAURINO! Tacos El Gordito TEAM has down to earth & genuine people, I could not believe they were here under this rain 😬 but were here to make us happy and serve their amazing tasting food. Btw if you like tripa and suadero please don’t hesitate! Its amazing!! Nether the less everything else…“

“10/10 highly recommend! I tried the brisket, chicken, and steak tacos and all were delicious. The brisket was my fav. Each meat was so tender and flavorful. My friend had a torta and said it was yummy. It looked divine from watching the chef prepare it. I wish I lived here so I could go back and try it. Excellent service and food.“

“los tacos de cabeza son los mejores que he probado.Las salsas son muy ricas. El agua de jamaica deliciosa!!!!!“
