Taco Restaurants near Manhattan Beach

“Last week I was traveling through LA on my way to Santa Barbara. I had some time to kill so I looked up Poke. Came across this amazing place! I am admittedly new to Poke. The staff took good care of me and I wound up having such a hard decision. I think the spicy Poke might have been might absolute favorite. I can’t wait for my next trip to LA so I can stop there again!“

“a bit pricey (at least here in downey) but the food is worth it!!“

“Delicious …. Great food truck authenticity“

“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!“

“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.“

“Delicious Birria tacos with cheese and consomé on the side. Good stuff!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“DELICIOUS,TASTY AMD FLAVORFUL HIGHLY RECOMMEND“

“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.“

“Great food made by amazing people!
Considering how busy and popular this place always is, no matter how slammed they are (which is often) they do a great job managing a rush while maintaining great service and amazing quality of food.

I’ve had every single item on the menu over the last year and literally everything tastes amazing“

“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.“

“These are hands down the best tacos I’ve had in LA. And I’ve had a lot of tacos in the country. Plus for the price (2 bucks a taco), you can’t beat eating this stuff. Highly recommend for any locals of the areas. We got the chicken, pastor, and asada. All a recommend, and you can load up on your own toppings, def get the onions and jalapeño if you love spice.“

“Beef, chicken, and shrimp. ALL AMAZING. Made on the spot. Right by the beach. Master gave me 3 options of hot sauce - I was able to endure the pain of the spiciest one which wasn’t too bad. I’m drooling all over my couch thinking of these tacos. Highly recommended and I’m definitely coming back next time I’m in LA. Gracias.!!!“

“FOOD WAS INCREDIBLE ❣️❣️❣️

I can’t say enough how incredibly delicious this restaurant was. I called my friend, Dan R (Legendary, Venice, Photographer, and the world ) for a recommendation on some delicious Mexican food. He laughed and said Tacomiando (why he was laughing just delivered him food from the restaurant… he said this is definitely the best in the area and he was not mistaken. This food from the cleanliness of the restaurant to how nice and helpful the staff was I always judge a restaurant on their chips. As well, I can honestly say these chips were incredible along with everything I’ve tried. I almost forgot to mention they’re incredible salsa bar. Hope you can see in the photo, but it was quite extensive. ✨🤩😍

If you’re reading this and you like Mexican food, this is a must try

“some of the best tacos in town 😋🤍“

“HomeState delivers a Tex-Mex experience that’s nothing short of spectacular. The quesadilla, a golden masterpiece of melty cheese and perfectly griddled tortilla, strikes an ideal balance of comfort and flavor, substantial yet never heavy. Four distinct tacos showcased a vibrant range of fillings, each one a testament to HomeState’s mastery of Texas-inspired cuisine. From smoky brisket to bright, zesty chicken and beef options, every taco bursts with bold, authentic flavors, wrapped in warm, pillowy tortillas that elevate the experience to something truly special. House-made salsas add layers of complexity, making each bite a revelation.

The freshly squeezed lemonade proves the perfect partner, its crisp, not-too-sweet brightness cutting through the richness of the meal with refreshing finesse. HomeState’s atmosphere radiates warmth and Austin charm, blending a laid-back vibe with a welcoming energy. Staff move with efficiency and genuine friendliness, ensuring every dish arrives hot and fresh. Other reviews often highlight the breakfast tacos and migas as must-tries, and while those weren’t on the plate this time, the menu’s depth promises more delicious adventures on the next visit.“

“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.“

“me encantaron las hamburguesas!“

“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 🌎“

“The TJ Barria Tacos are D'lish! I love the authentic flair, every bite is packed with flavor! You just can't go wrong with any item. People you gotta try this place. And their Miches fantastic! Yumm'O ☆☆☆☆☆“

“Had my anniversary dinner here. It was awesome. The food was very good, I got the birria quesadilla, and my partner got two quesadilla fritas. It was absolutely delicious. The truck looked very clean and the tables were also. The chairs are sturdy. The horchata was pretty good, on the light side and refreshing. There are planes that fly over but it didn’t bother us. Can’t wait to come back and try the rest of the menu!“

“🥙☕️💜I am an avid taco lover. We had never been to this adorable Taco Restaurant in Venice Beach before.
The first thing I noticed was how clean it was.
I was now anxious to have my fave food in life - beef tacos! THEY WERE out of this world.
Our entire family enjoyed the food & a quaint ambience. The Coffee is excellent as well.
I give this “Young Kid Shop”’ 5 stars! Because, if it is not on the Menu, I would bet my life Miss NADIA would not only make it, it would be absolutely delicious!
It is the cutest little beach taco shop on the boardwalk in Venice Beach. Check it out.
💟🥙🏖️“

“Local Taqueria worth the stop.“

“Just had Taco Bill's at New Trail Brewing company. AWESOME!!! Not your momma's taco and the nachos were great! Highly recommend🙂“

“The food is delicious! It's a bit of a Mexican & Mediterranean food kind of spot with meals made fresh to order, I order a yummy pork Mediterranean bowl! Staff are really friendly & helpful, would recommend this place if you want to stop by somewhere before your next destination!“

“Such a tasty little spot. I was looking for a good place for lunch today while I was up in LA. The good reviews did not lie. I had a shrimp and a beef taco. Everything was fresh and so tasty, and really reasonably priced. Service was fast and friendly.“

“The best Tacos and Tortas“

“I finally stopped by Carnitas El Mirarador and wow… this spot seriously lives up to the hype. From the first bite, you can tell everything is made with care and real flavor.

The tacos are next level—the carnitas are perfectly cooked, juicy on the inside with that slight crisp on the outside that just hits right. But what really stood out to me were the tortillas. You can taste that they’re homemade, soft, and fresh, and they make a huge difference in every bite.“

“Amazing and tasting sea food, so delicious, fair price. Small place so you might have to wait to order and to find a table. A lot of people orders to go. Parking lot might be an issue too, depends on what day you go. Enjoy it!! It's all worth it!“

“I love the Waterfront. Great food and service, bogo happy hour, nice people and chill vibe“

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

“We came from Houston, TX and wanted some seafood as we were on our way to the airport. Found great ratings on this place and let me tell you they did not disappoint!! This took me back way back!! My family and I loved the ceviche, tacos, and cóctel de camarón!! 😋😋😋“

“everything is good tamales the cakes the bread oh them girls are beautiful all the time“

“I have gone to another of Mexican Food Restaurants including Frida's and this place is hands Down Going in my Go To Spots the Food Was Amazing. My wife Had the Carne Asada Con Chile Verde and I Had The Same But Chile Rojo. I would definitely recommend this plate if Your not to Good With Spicy Grab The Chile Verde also keep in mind I asked for a side Queso Cotija.“

“Great experience!“

“Best tacos in North Torrance. Nice family owned restaurant. I ordered two chicken and two al pastor tacos. I like how there was a single tortilla and not doubled up. The chicken meat was juicy and flavorful. Al pastor was very good too. I’ll be going back!“

“The tacos are yummy so are the mulitas they have a great taste carne asada is carne asada they have charcoal where they make there meat not meat on the plancha
Price is great
Quick and easy to grab dinner and assortment of salsas“

“Corner taco stand. Simple yet delicious. How a true taco should be. Ordered asada & suadero. Both good but Asada was way better. I’m used to the suadero being deep fried in the oil but it seemed it was actually more of a broth. Suadero meat was then seared/ fried on the grill. Still good though but not Mexico City suadero tacos good“

“Very hard working people! The entire atmosphere of the stand is so nice and the food is even better! Ordered 3 tacos de asada and a burrito de asada tonight. They were so delicious and not greasy at all! Definitely a place you have to go to more than once.“

“Excellent Food!!!! I found this place while listening to the radio 93.5 kDay and I couldn't wait to get some of them enchiladas and tacos �“

“Amazing Experience! The Food is Delicious and Creative. The Margarita’s are just as unique and delicious, and the STAFF make you feel at home❣️🤗 Great Staff, Delicious Food & Great Drinks! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you for your wonderful hospitality❣️“

“Open until midnight! They have great food and a super convenient location for those of us at USC especially. We are die hard fans of Leo's, but this deliciousness is more than worth the two block trek.“

“I really like the food at this place…but the lady who takes the orders by phone is really unprofessional…he take the phone and leave it on the side without saying anything until she likes and she don’t answer the phone when is ringing. Very very bad.“

“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.“

“Muy sabrosos los tacos,100% recomendados!“

“Hidden gem by far, an absolute go-to spot. I picked off the menu whatever my eyes could feast on. The chicken quesadilla is the most delicious I've had- ever, and that flour tortilla is something else. A++I can't wait to try their chorizo burrito, mulitas, plus everything else they have on there. I've heard about the Menudo here.I can't believe the number of times of driven past here and never noticed. Thank goodness for recommendations.“
