50 Best Taco Restaurants near Sherman Oaks

“Good tacos and they stack it with meat!! All hand made tortillas. I got nothing but Al Pastor the meat was good. I tried their Sope it was giant for $5 and a quesadilla ($10) which was stacked. Definitely be coming back nice hard working people. I paid with cash not sure if they take card.
Update: they take zelle and queso tacos are 🤘🏽👌🏽“

“try shrimp tacos the best in van nuys ca.“

“1986 Taco’s is a wonderful spot to chill and enjoy a solid taco Tuesday or a breakfast burrito with the best salsas blends in LA. They are a fun kind staff who are used to a fast turn around and somewhat in a hurry customers. I am a fan of this spot and kinda love sitting outside while enjoying. I hope to see more locations continue to pop up for us all around town.“

“The Queso Tacos and San Marcos Style Tacos Dorados, with consome, are hands down the real deal. So delicious! The Cucumber Agua Fresca was the perfect compliment drink. Best in the Valley.“

“Delicious food and great service at a reasonable price! I have used Nana’s Kitchen so many times! And friends who have attended our parties, use them, for their parties, too.“

“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“

“Bombest burrito in LA. He brings professional hospitality to the street taco game. First time I stopped by after a long early morning shift at a coffee cart and I was greeted as I walked up. He walked me through their offerings. I wanted to try their al pastor but was too hungry for a couple tacos so I ordered it as a burrito and man, amazingly tasty. He has a flat top grill and grills the burritos *chef's kiss. I'm all for street tacos of all kinds in LA but I'd venture to say this is the cleanest operation I've been to. He takes cash but also venmo or Zelle and has all that easily accessible. Ordered a carne asada burrito this evening and it's truly ministering to me“

“My boyfriend and I came here yesterday for the first time to celebrate our anniversary. The food was incredible, the staff were lovely, and the music and atmosphere was great! We absolutely loved the food- we got birria ramen, kpasa fries, and a birria quesadilla. OMG soooo delicious, we were both so happy. We loved it here and will definitely be coming back again! <3“

“Local Taqueria worth the stop.“

“las gringas espevialidad de la casa“

“The place has suadero! That's brisket in ingles! And the meat ratio is excellent; no skimping. Plus the amount of salsas and toppings provide for endless flavor combinations! Perhaps the best I've encountered in the in LA and maybe in Cali too! I say this as a native Angeleno and the son of Mexicans. I've tasted all the styles from San Francisco's Mission Street to Chula Vista. So happy I found this place! Es toda una chulada este lugar, riquísimo!!!“

“sabrosisimas todas las tortas“

“10 out of 10. Lovely people and great food. I come here multiple times a week and have been coming here for about 5 years. I love getting their nachos and they are always down to give it to me with the chips separate than the rest of it so I don't have to eat all of it immediately and have it be soggy.

I recommend the fish tacos the most! They're surprisingly filling and two usually does the trick and then I have leftovers for the next day. The strawberry lemonade agua fresca is also excellent I tried it for the first time a couple days ago.

They take venmo but they also take card now on a little square reader and of course cash. They are fast and friendly and have good condiments and salsas available.

I used to drive a mile from Burbank around once a month but now I live like three blocks away and I come way too often. Super affordable high quality as well and I'm trying meats I've never tried before“

“Ricooooo! Y limpio y la salsa picosa“

“I always passed by here and assumed it wouldn't taste authentic and when I finally decided to stop by and test it out I was proven wrong. The Birria Torta tasted amazing and melts in your mouth. It has avocado in it with no extra charge and the price is very reasonable. It costs less than food truck. 10/10 would recommend.“

“Take your time gathering any of the many sauces and things. It went take long for your order to be ready, just pause and collect then return to grab all the sauces but yet bagged. Limes, cilantro&onions, salsa fresco, salsa Verde, salsa roja x2, radishes, grilled pepper and onions, crema, and more. All the things to make the meal your own.
A note about the carne asada fries (or any meat fry), is the use of a cheese sauce instead of fresh shredded cheese which some may like but not I. I'm guessing you can substitute the cheese for the desired experience.
This taco truck is worth a retry. The crowd certainly approves and has the right frame if reference to judge a taco truck. Rarely have I seen a throng of people eating at tables beside such food trucks let alone the steady stream of customers. Festive and lively, those customers add to the positive vibes of this sidewalk eatery. Just be sure you're at the right taco truck!“

“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.“

“The Queso Tacos and San Marcos Style Tacos Dorados, with consome, are hands down the real deal. So delicious! The Cucumber Agua Fresca was the perfect compliment drink. Best in the Valley.“

“So fire. The shells are perfectly crispy and crunchy. They hold their shape and don’t get soggy despite the juicy meat. The chicken was so good. The fries…I’ll be back for the fries alone. I love that it’s basically a walk up window, very “taco bar” vibes. They know what they’re doing here. Reasonably priced too!“

“Going to every taco truck/stand in the area to find my favorite. I’ve only been to 5 so far but this one is winning. I only get carne asada so that’s what I’m basing my judgement on, can’t speak for the rest, but if it’s anything like the asada then I’m sure it is fire.“

“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.“

“Todo excelente estos si es birria estilo Tijuana 👍“

“me encantaron las hamburguesas!“

“These tacos hit the spot! We usually get asada, pastor, carnitas, and suedero but want to try the cueritos next time. Love that they use homemade tortillas! The guy taking orders even recognized us from the last time we were there and hooked it up with all the salsas and sides. Can’t wait to come back again soon! Thank you!“

“My girlfriend and I live up the street and we walk here all the time. The food is amazing easily The best burritos I’ve ever had. I have to agree with everybody else the flank steak though is the best thing on the menu so good I recommend this place to anybody. The staff is amazing friendly and I never wanna eat tacos/burritos anywhere else“

“What an awesome find. Been to the best all over Los Angeles and this ranks up there in the top 5. Everything is very high quality and made with love. Best birria I have had in LA. Very high quality shrimp and carne asada tacos. The family who owns is also super nice and made my daughter a quesadilla on the house. Nice thoughtful touch.“

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

“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!“

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

“WOW! I was getting a little impatient while waiting for my order, because it was “just a food truck”. But when the food was ready, the care with which they prepared it was evident. We had shrimp tacos, marlin plate, and ceviche. Everything was excellent! My wife said the best shrimp tacos she’s ever had. This quality food could easily be served in a higher-end restaurant.“

“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.“

“We had the corn tortilla tacos last night, fantastic!“

“I tried the shrimp and fish tacos. They were decent, but honestly overpriced for what they are. The staff was friendly, the food came out quickly, and the patio is a nice place to sit. However, inside the restaurant it was hard to breathe because of the strong smell of fried oil, like the ventilation was not working well.

Parking can also be difficult, although there are paid parking options nearby. The tacos were okay, but the fish was too soft and covered in batter, so I couldn’t really taste the fish itself. The vegetables were fresh and nicely cut, and the sauces were good, but there were no extra toppings or salsa station like in many other Mexican taco spots.

Overall, it’s not a bad place, but for the price, I personally would not come back for these tacos.“

“😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍“

“Super deliciosos, los mejores tacos estilo D.F en Los Ángeles, CA sus salsas exquisitas“

“It's a 7/11 A little crustier than some but whattya want for a hot day in LA? I was thirsty and bought a bottle of water The clerk was nice The store was clean enough Enjoy! It's near a very cool post office!“

“Love it here, the food is amazing! The chefs are so kind. Normally just get asada tacos but recently removed red meat from my diet, so today decided to try their chicken burrito ?? and I had to come give them their stars! Thank you for excellent service and food! ?“

“This place is the best spot to get Mexican food! They serve the most delicious quesadillas, the tastiest burritos, and the best tacos you’ll find anywhere. The quality is always excellent, everything is fresh, full of flavor, and made with great care. It’s honestly the best quesadilla and burrito I’ve ever had. These guys really know what they’re doing when it comes to Mexican food!“

“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“

“Great place. The food was delicious and the portions were generous. The two gentleman working were respectful and attentive. Their salsa's were perfectly spiced and there was a ton of variety. Free tortilla chips were provided with our meals. I'd most definitely come back everytime I'm iin the area. Highly recommend.“

“so good, and the service was amazing“

“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 �“

“Not a long wait, and the food was AWESOME!!! My son and I will be back!“

“Delicious food and drinks!!!“

“I just had lunch with my two daughters, ages 12 and 15. It was our first time here.

We ordered three plates: two 3-birria taco combo plates and one order of vampire tacos with chorizo. We tried all the sauces that came with them, along with a 24-ounce horchata.

My girls and I are usually pretty loud. We talk. We’re animated. We gush over the food.

But when we ate these tacos, we ate in silence because the food was that good. To speak would have taken us out of the moment. So we said nothing. We just sat there, lost in our own thoughts, luxuriating in tender meats, spicy red sauce, and complex flavors.

This is how you get tweens to enjoy family time: really good tacos.

And guess who told me about this place? The 12-year-old. Apparently, it’s trending. I recommend it too.“

“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.“

“Love the food here. The tacos are excellent and the quesadillas are phenomenal. The owners are super friendly, attentive, and the prices are fair. If you see their tent, run right to em and get a quesadilla stat!! Their barbacoa is some of the best I've ever had.“

“Excellent tocos along Santa Monica boulevard! 🌮🌮🌮“

“This is my favorite late night snack. I get the carne asada tacos with avocado salsa on the side. The best carne asada tacos!! The flavor is delicious. They are consistent so it’s always delicious. I put my friend on and now she’s hooked. I legit crave this truck!

Parking: Parking is fair

Kid-friendliness: It’s a taco truck so you can take your kids however it is on a public street so always be safe and hold tight to your babies. There are street sleepers around.“
