“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.“

“Delicious food and drinks“

“Great food and super chill vibe. We were a party of 6 at 4 pm on a Sunday, it was nearly empty at that time and they accommodated us right away. One of us had the steak fajitas and said they were amazing! The chicken and shrimp tacos are great, vegetable taco and chicken burrito were okay. The guac was super good too but the salsa was super spicy. Large portions and fast and friendly service! We sat inside but the outside area looked cute too.

Will definitely come back!!! 🌮🌮🌮“

“Excellent black mole! Everything is freshly made. Wait staff is very helpful and kind. Cute outdoor seating area.“

“Homemade tortillas are one of life’s greatest inventions, and Guisados proves it. Everything tastes even better wrapped in one.

I’ve been back many times for the tacos and quesadillas, and the flavorful salsas tie everything together perfectly. The service is always friendly, it’s the kind of place that keeps pulling me back whenever I’m craving tacos.

Another bonus: there’s both a parking lot and street parking, which makes the whole experience even better.“

“Great food and drinks 🍹 really good 👍🏾“

“By LA taco standards, I didn't find this place special at all.

So weird that there are no cheese options for the tacos. Would be a game-changer if you could have melted cheese like Tacos Los Cholos.

Quesadilla con Chorizo looks better than it tastes.

Taco sampler platter, the chicken ones are the best.

The Jamaica agua fresca is incredible and my favorite thing here.

Playing really good reggaeton music (e.g., Peso Pluma).“

“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:)“

“My Family And I , Really Enjoyed, Pablo, Gave Us A Great Experience!!!! Will Be Back!!! Love It, And Great Food!!!“

“Quesataco is amazing!! So juicy and flavorful, it’s delicious every bite. Regular taco is delicious too if cheese ain’t ur thing but if it is, mulita is pretty good as well. Tacos are on the smaller side, so I usually order 2-3. If you are craving for dessert, their churros are warm and crispy! Highly recommend this place“

“We had a fantastic time with Felix! The food was terrific, the service was beyond terrific! We watched the World Cup, relaxed, and had a great time. Have already started recommending this place before I could post this. We are visiting from out of town, and they made the Best tortillas we have ever had! Check this place out! Hope they open one soon in NYC!“

“Our. favorite Mexican in Santa Monica. Love the chilaqhiles (breakfast burrito with tortilla chips on it) in the morning, and the shrimp burrito for lunch. Liked the cerviche de camaron a lot, but will ditch the onions next time. The gent out front is extremely welcoming and the chips and salsa are great. Definitely worth a visit.“

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

“Just can’t say enough good things about this place and the people who work here. The food is great, we love the burritos, quesadillas, and don’t sleep on the frozen yogurt! It’s a weekly staple at this point. Love having such a great place with great people in playa.“

“Great food, beans excellent.“

“What a happy surprise. The food is incredible, everything I had - I loved. Presentation was amazing. Sitting in the back on a summer night was perfect. The service was great. 10/10 spot. I can’t wait to come back and try the other ceviches on the menu.“

“Love the food and the ambience! Relax and friendly ! The new one in Playa Vista is worth going even if you don’t live in the area!“

“It's a nice place. The food is good. Not the best. But their service is amazing and the ambiance is cool. It feels like you're in a Spanish hacienda“

“Must eat authentic street tacos in LA. We went on a Friday night and there was a long line but it moved fast. For two people, we ordered 4 al pastor, 2 cabeza (head), and 1 lengua (tongue) - all were amazing. Plus the toppings (onion, cilantro, lime, pickled veggies, radish, and salsa) are all self-serve so you can load up. Watch out because one of the salsas is tasty but painfully spicy 🥵 😅.

Definitely eat them fresh on the spot, it makes a huge difference.

Also, no need for cash! They take credit card.“

“My fiancée and I are fortunate enough to live a short walk away from Yagul and can’t get enough of it! Authentic and delicious Oaxacan food/drink (you literally cannot go wrong with anything on the menu) and the most wonderful and warm staff you’ll find in all of West LA. One of the true gems in our community.“

“Great little spot for Mexican food! The tacos were delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. The portions were generous, the prices were reasonable, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Everything came out fresh and tasty, especially the fish tacos. Definitely a place I’d come back to and recommend to anyone looking for good tacos in Los Angeles!“

“AMAZING food and drinks. Purely fresh and tastes fantastic. I can’t wait to come back. ♥️♥️♥️“

“fantastic service! burritos were amazing. small and intimate. thank you! we'll be back again.“

“Excellent service and delicious food 100% recommended“

“las gringas espevialidad de la casa“

“Saw this lonchería as I was driving by and I’m glad I decided to stop. The food is very reasonably priced. I spent less than $12 for a full meal. The taste of the food is very authentic Mexican food, with the beans being “de la olla.” I really like that they provide you with condiments, like salsa, lemon, chiles, and cucumber. If you are nearby, give this place a shot, I don’t think you’ll regret it.“

“I recommend this place it has delicious food and the chef cook’s your food fast and you won’t regret it!! A must try!!“

“Great food n service. Cool jente🥃🥰👍🏻“

“I've never been here before. I went here with my brother. We had sandwiches and dessert from The pastry area. Everything was delicious. The price was reasonable. The place was clean. The bathroom was clean. There is a very cute little history area in the back of the restaurant. All in all it was a five star experience.“

“Are you in for a perfect day? El tarasco is just two blocks from the Pacific Ocean. Go for a dip in the waves and go support
an establishment that’s been open since 1965 and known for their good prices, generous portions and juicy burritos. It feels like a diner - bar top open kitchen, stools surrounded by stickers and signed photos of celebrities such as George Lopez. My boyfriend described it as Chicano style with their fresh cheddar cheese, shredded lettuce, guacamole and gratis freshly fried corn tostadas and delicious cantina style salsa. I got a crunchy chicken taco and a fish taco. While my boyfriend got a bean and cheese burrito. He said it was the best bean and cheese burrito of his life.
Some little surfer dudes came in and were all ordering the carne asada burritos. They were going to get it to go… but truly the vibes are so strong inside you want to stay.
Service was 10/5.
Will be back!!!“

“great place to eat some of the best fish tacos!!!!!!!“

“Delicious Mexican food on the Westside“

“I went there for my first time today and my family and I loved it. My dads side of the family is from Chihuahua Mexico 🇲🇽 and it was great to enjoy such great food. The prices are so great. I highly recommend this place! I had the Machaca plate and my mom and grandma had the chili relleno enchiladas plate.“
