50 Best Taco Restaurants in Los Angeles

“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.“

“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.

“Muy buenos taco’s deliciosos“

“This is one of my first true loves as far as tacos go. My favorite al pastor in LA by a long shot. They handmake and press their own corn tortillas right in front of you. IMO the queso tacos are the highlight — pair that with the al pastor and the pineapple and you will also fall in love.

Aside from the pastor, all of their meat options will do you justice — I particularly like the cabesa, but be careful pairing the rich & fatty meats with the queso taco — it can be fatty overload if you have one too many.

Angel’s potato is extremely slept on.

Parking: There’s a parking lot directly behind the taco stand where everyone parks“

“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.“

“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“

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

“Buenísimos las mejores carnitas“

“This place is very unassuming, but my friends who live close by recommended to me because of their smash burger and the to-go piña colada. The smash burger was amazing — very simple, just patties, cheese, pickles and a sauce, but it was extremely memorable for how unexpected it was as a menu item at a taco shop. The pina colada was great on a hot Sunday afternoon as well. I also tried a carne asada taco which was slightly small, but a solid amount of meat, and what looked like a homemade corn tortilla. Will definitely be returning to this place if I’m in the area! 8.5/10!

Parking: Lots of street parking on and around Melrose“

“The costilla taco and it had so much flavor! It wasn't huge but it was just the right lunch size for me. Served with green onions and radishes, it reminded me of Mexican dinners with my grandma. I also had the chips with guacamole (so flavor-packed!) and delicious watermelon agua fresca. This meal was a total win, all around.“

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

“This is the proverbial window restaurant. Hole in the wall. I had breakfast burritos there (chorizo) and they were delicious! The sauces are spicy, so be careful how much you use.

Parking: This is a hole in the wall. The hood of your car is your table.“

“Best shrimp tacos I ever had, and my partner was in love with her ribeye tacos!!! We also had the most amazing server today. Overall, while a little expensive, I definitely felt we got the meal we paid for, and right in the middle of the Grove! The great drinks and tres leches cake were also delicious and very well made. We shall be back!“

“We stopped by to eat here for the first time yesterday. We were very impressed and loved our food. Our toddler approved too! It was very fresh and a big portion compared to other restaurants. I love that they had stuff for the kids to play with outside as well. We sat outside and everything was clean.“

“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.“

“I went there on a Tuesday since they have a salsa class. I thought it was a good idea to participate since I didn't know any "dancers" at that club. The class was not very good. The music was too fast for beginners, there was very little instruction. After class there was a live band, now, that was fun! At that point some more people arrived. There were not that many good dancers, so I got asked to dance a lot since I do know how to dance. So, over all it was a good experience. I also liked the burlesque show the girl did on the balcony. I will probably be back.“

“I wish I could give this place more stars. The name might've changed– it used to be Jeni's Tacos. Really hope they survived the pandemic. Delicious handmade tortillas and super sweet family who runs it. One of those LA gems that if you know, you know.“

“I have been following tacos 1986 on Instagram (joy tostada) and have been wanting to try his tacos. we planned a family vacations to California to try their tacos and they did not disappoint. Tacos were DELICIOUS!! and the staff was very friendly. We even came in more than once to eat. Highly recommend it.“

“The food here was SO good and filling. If you like chicken sandwiches, I definitely recommend! I had the Truffle Chicken and my bf had the Spicy Chicken, we split both. Customer service was also great. Worker recommended dipping the fries in gravy and it was good. Will be coming back.“

“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.“

“Went here with a couple friends while visiting the area. This is one of the best places I’ve eaten in California. The workers were kind and the steak sanguche I ordered was flavorful and delicious. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“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.“

“las gringas espevialidad de la casa“

“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.??“

“These tacos are the best!!! Their mixed tacos are on fire!!! They hit the spot!! I'm in love with this place! Their sopes are extremely delicious as well and my god!!! Those Aguas frescas are on another flavor! And their sauces have sooo much flavor! I love everything about this place! ?? “

“I LOVE this place! It takes me right back to my childhood! I stop by a couple of times a week... they are that good! The flavors are spot on! Janene, Andrea, and Gigi are so welcoming! If you're in the neighborhood, check them out. You won't be disappointed!“

“👍People are very warm and accommodating“

“It was me and my girlfriend’s first time, and the wonderful cashier did not shy away from answering in full detail what her favorite taco was! Needless to say, we knew all the options and left very happy. Fire food and fire drinks. 11/10 would come back.“

“The best tacos in California!“

“The best tacos/burritos In NELA!! Might not be the most flashy spot but the flavor is out of this world. After every spot I've tried(out of state and country) this is by far the only place I HAVE to return to. The staff are all nice, courteous and lovely people and their portions are always a hook up too. Their salsas are a must if you're having their burritos as you have to dunk them in it for the full on experience. And for the homies traveling from far don't trip there's a dispensary 30 ft away and it's located in a hot spot for bar hopping if you're tryna enjoy this side of town. For the tourist and out of towners it might interest yall that Billie Eilish lives around the corner from here since that's a selling point for y'all. Don't forget to tip!“
