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.“

“Delicious …. Great food truck authenticity“

“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.“

“Really enjoyed the food here. The carne asada was well seasoned and the marinade on the pastor was subtle yet delicious. It’s been a while since I’ve been impressed by street tacos in LA. I’ve been spoiled and accustomed to tacos in Mexico, and this place definitely hit the spot. Looking forward to our next visit.“

“Super delicious! I can see what the lines were about. I went Fri and Sat this week and can’t wait to go back next weekend!“

“It’s 6:40 on a Saturday night and I’m alone in this taco shop. I can’t understand that. Maybe it’s a K-town secret.
The food has excellent flavor. I ordered the carne asada bowl. The crunchies in top are special. It’s delicious, but the steak is a little chewy. It’s a lot of food for a reasonable price. The red salsa is super tasty, but use caution with the yellow salsa. She’ll make you cry.
I’ll probably come back tomorrow and order the chicken.
The employers are sweet. The shop is clean.“

“Line moves quickly. Clear menu and lots of options (lots of variety and nachos/potatoes). Super efficient and friend staff too. Food was delicious and happy I don’t have to drive down to DLTA for delish tacos. Big bonus : seeing fresh corn tortillas being made, free parking at target, and some seating for guests!! You won’t be disappointed :)“

“We stopped by while visiting LA, in search of good local tacos and Taco La 26 did not disappoint!!! The tortillas were fresh, the salsa was delicious & the al pastor was my favorite! I love that they have free roasted potato’s and onions, so no matter what you get a filling meal.

You order at the food station then pay at the counter with the square machines. No where to sit but honestly they’ll be gone before you could sit down.

It is a block from skid row, & as tourist we weren’t familiar - but like anywhere else, just pay attention to your surroundings. The location is gated and there’s plenty of parking.

Open late and so delicious! 10/10 recommend & would DEFINITELY eat here again.“

“Local Taqueria worth the stop.“

“Buenísimos las mejores carnitas“

“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“

“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!“

“👍People are very warm and accommodating“

“some of the best tacos in town 😋🤍“

“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.!😁“

“las gringas espevialidad de la casa“

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

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

“gracias por ayudar a Álex ❤️‍🩹🫂“

“Fair prices, really great staff, great variety for food, definitely suggest the horchata it's amazing and they don't give a whole cup of ice. It's unfortunate that they only take cash but they are set up right next to a Ralph's grocery store so it's not too hard to get. Will be coming back!“

“very good food very good and friendly staff always nice warm n welcoming with a smile on their face 😁“

“Papas with Spinach is still the best breakfast burrito anywhere with amazing hot sauce. Been coming here since the late 90s and it’s the same, except more consistent hours now. It used to be they were open whenever they felt like working, which made you want it more🤣 Yeah, the staff is still grumpy and cold, but you get an amazing breakfast burrito.“

“WORTH ALL THE HYPE!

Sadly that also meant be prepared to wait in long line especially on peak dinner time, which was right at their opening time. We did come on Saturday which probably made it worse.

Nothing fancy, it’s basically occupying a spot on the Pavilion’s parking lot at Hollywood. Quite limited chairs provided so it’s not uncommon seeing people eating while standing or using their car’s trunk.

We got their crowd’s favorite Ribeye and Flank Steak, both of which were indeed so so good in their own ways. Chunky juicy meats on top of the blue corn tortilla. Everything’s cooked fresh to order and they didn’t go complicated with sauce on top of your taco, which even made the meat more stand out, being so flavorful on its own.

If you felt like us and wanna try something beyond beef, certainly go for their Al Pastor, which was also luscious and I’d definitely come back again for.

Don’t forget opt for extra melted cheese on your taco!“

“Muy buenos taco’s deliciosos“

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

“I tried the ground beef and chicken taco and they were delicious! My favorite part is that they didn’t make me feel bloated. They were light yet filling.
The fries were perfectly salted. The lady who took my order was super nice, great customer service.
Definitely recommend!“

“First off, Terrific Customer Service at the Long Beach, CA location! The manager is amazing. So helpful with recommendations when asked, provides great detail, and is so enthusiastic about the incredible menu. Tocaya at 2nd & PCH has lovely, fresh, bright, clean food. The menu is unique and flexible. You get to choose the protein you want, the cheese you want, whether or not you want your dish to be vegan. So many options and super tasty food! My friend really enjoyed the VEGAN Asada & VEGAN Tinga tacos. I loved my Taco Salad with gluten-free, battered & fried mahi-mahi (that was so, so scrumptious) with Queso Fresco. I swapped and got the cilantro lime dressing (instead of the roasted poblano dressing) and my bowl of goodies was delicious. We shared and relished the Street Corn and the (VEGAN) Queso & Chips. We were both shocked to find the Queso was VEGAN; it’s that good! We also tried the vegan Crema, just to check it out — SO yummy. AND the obviously homemade chips were mouthwatering. Tocaya has seasonal Sangria selections, beer, and other interesting drink options. They’ve got indoor and outdoor seating… and I recommend you head over soon!“

“Really good, authentic street tacos! 🌮 Definitely will be back next time I’m in Los Angeles.“

“Best taco birria in town, yesterday was my first time trying it and I loved it, today I try the pizza birria and of course it was delicious…… definitely recommended😍😍“

“Hi, I love this spot and have come like 5 times over the last couple of weeks. They have not been on alameda and king, does anyone know if they closed or are at a different spot ? Please reply if you have number of business or know anything“

“This place was phenomenal. The staff and owner were so friendly and engaging. The food was top tier. I had the street tacos and Avocado rolls. The tacos were portioned really well and the shredded beef was flavorful. The Avocado rolls tasted so fresh and the roll was light and fluffy. I could eat the roll without any fillingb, thats how good it was. The sauce that came with it was good as well. The fresh juice was a winner as well. The customer service, price, portion size, and freshness of the ingredients makes this place 5 star. I will definitely visit again and recommend this place as 10 out of 10.“

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

“The reason life is full of blessings and provides you with the will to live is because of these burritos and quesadillas. Your life will feel whole once these delicious Mexican recipes grace your palate—a piece you have been lacking since you were a young child. Although You should be aware that this is not an appropriate place to go on a first date because your date will fall in love with the food instead of you and wouldn't talk to you again unless you came here. To sum up, this Mexican restaurant is not to be taken lightly and ought to be regarded as one of the world's best five-star restaurants 🌎“

“Muy amable el personal y la comida muy rica 💯 recomendada 👌🏼“

“Dude, I’m really impressed with this little spot. The food is flavorful, fresh, and not greasy, and the gentlemen working here are kind Sinaloenses who are easy to talk to. Authentic Mexican food without the fluff. The tacos are fairly priced and GOOD, the gringa is insane if that’s your thing.

If you’re looking for something a bit lighter, I highly recommend the bowl. The flavors are spot on, the portions are generous (easily enough for two meals), and it’s hearty without being heavy.

This is my new spot. Maybe I’m a little biased since my family is also from Mazatlán, but trust me, this place is authentic and you feel good spending your money here.“

“Perfect chef he makes really good 10 dollar burritos. The service is great he always has a great Attitude never mean. The atmosphere is great because the taco truck is sorta in the shade making a partially seated area. So it’s a great chill vibe the food is great and it’s a lot of food like he makes sure your feed no matter what you get.“

“Happy“
