50 Best Taco Restaurants in Los Angeles

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“Exactly what you want from your street taco experience. Made fresh on site right in front of you, great people, great flavor, and a great value. We got quesadillas for the kids (which I ended up eating the leftovers of), and 5 tacos - 2 beef, 1 chicken, 1 pork, and 1 fish. All were fantastic!“

“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.“

“Local Taqueria worth the stop.“

“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“

“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.“

“Delicious …. Great food truck authenticity“

“Anytime anyone visits me in LA I take them to Angels to have tacos. They are reasonably priced, generously served, quick, home made tortillas. All of my visitors rave about this place and when they plan on visiting they always ask if we can get Angels tacos. 🌮 😋“

“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!“

“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!“

“gracias por ayudar a Álex ❤️‍🩹🫂“

“The best tacos in California!“

“las gringas espevialidad de la casa“

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

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

“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!“

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

“I personally do not like Spanish food… but let me tell you Rico’s Tacos changed my opinion of that!! I will only ever eat Spanish food from Rico’s tacos !! Would highly recommend, 10/10“

“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.!😁“

“Buenísimos las mejores carnitas“

“amazing food with an amazing chef. I came here before the hype and met the chef and he told me a little about the mission before they blew up and now it’s so cool to see him get his roses from all of his hard work.

the food is quality! the ribeye melts in your mouth, the pork belly is beautifully done and I love the suadero. make sure you get one of the agua frescas as well, the watermelon and jamaica are my favorite. i’ve had almost everything on the menu now and there isn’t a wrong choice. listen to your stomach you won’t be let down!“

“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.“

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

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

“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!“

“👍People are very warm and accommodating“

“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.“

“Had a great meal here before a show at the Paramount. My husband had fajitas and I had the potato dish with added rosemary potatoes 🤩. I couldn’t finish mine - very filling but absolutely delicious. The proprietor is welcoming and helpful. We will definitely return and I will make more sensible choices!“

“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😍😍“

“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.“

“I visited Tacos Tumbras a Tomas at Grand Central Market in Downtown Los Angeles.

I ordered the carnitas tacos, which are one of their specialties.
The pork was flavorful and tender, and the portion was surprisingly large.
They also asked whether I wanted the salsa spicy or mild, which was nice because I could choose it based on my preference.

The amount of meat was so generous that one order was more than enough to fill me up.
They also provide extra tortillas, so you can make additional tacos with the generous amount of meat.

The tacos were delicious, filling, and reasonably priced. I was especially impressed by the portion size for the price.

The stand has been serving Michoacan-style carnitas at Grand Central Market for many years, and it’s easy to see why it has remained popular.

If you’re visiting Grand Central Market and want to try a hearty and affordable Mexican meal, I definitely recommend stopping by!“

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

“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“

“DELICIOUS,TASTY AMD FLAVORFUL HIGHLY RECOMMEND“

“Ricooooo! Y limpio y la salsa picosa“

“los mejores tacos de los angeles 100% recomendados saludos desde Utah“

“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.“

“Happy“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“La comida está excelente deliciosa ! Y de verdad tiene un sazón mexicano,real.muy buen servicio los cosineros súper rápidos y muy amables!😃Lo recomiendo:)“

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

“This has to be the best burrito I’ve had in SoCal. It’s a great concept to give the customer the open burrito to put in toppings of my choice and amount, then give it back for the employees to perfectly wrap up.

I got the asada and tripa burrito as well as an al pastor and pineapple mulita. All of it was cooked perfectly and with large portion sizes and great prices.

I will happily make the hour trip just to stop here again. This place should get an award.“

“We ate at this restaurant, and the shrimp cocktails are delicious and the fish tacos are super tasty—my kids love them. All the food is made with fresh ingredients, and they even have a special on fish tacos—$1.25 on Tuesdays and Sundays. Highly recommended.“

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

“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!“
