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 🤘🏽👌🏽“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“I had a fantastic experience at 1986 Tacos! Their customer service truly stands out — the team is warm, attentive, and genuinely cares about every guest who walks up. You can feel the pride they take in what they do.
I also really appreciate the thoughtful upgrade to the tree outside — it adds such a welcoming and vibrant touch to the space and shows their commitment to the community and environment.
Great food, great people, and a great atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“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“

“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.“

“Local Taqueria worth the stop.“

“las gringas espevialidad de la casa“

“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!“

“Seriously one of my favorite places to eat!! Delicious tacos (la flor is my favorite). Also love their corn, plantain chips and guacamole too. Great margaritas and agua frescas!! I recommend Taco Tuesday for $2.50 tacos and $2 off margaritas too! Service is always exceptionally friendly and fast too! Never waiting more than like 5-10 mins for food.“

“sabrosisimas todas las tortas“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“I LOVE TACOS!!! And these are the best. The brisket taco and potatoe taco are off the charts delicious. The guac is also amazing.The staff is always super welcoming, offering ideas on what's new. I brought a friend here last week and he was blown away!! It's those brisket tacos. Don't believe me... get in and try them. You won't be disappointed“

“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.“

“Ricooooo! Y limpio y la salsa picosa“

“Great waters and friendly staff :)“

“Delicious food and drinks“

“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!“

“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.“

Recommend this salmon board or Chrissy chicken sandwich you wills at thank you.🍷“

“Great authentic Mexican spot — super tasty and great value

Loved this place! It’s a small, lively, no-frills Mexican spot on Melrose — you order on a machine and they call your number when it’s ready.

The food is really delicious, very authentic, fresh, and full of flavor — not touristy at all. You can actually see the team cooking right in front of you, which makes it clear everything is fresh.

The vibe is fun and energetic, with loud Spanish music playing, which adds to the experience. Seating is limited (mostly counter seating), but there are a few tables outside on a small terrace.

We’re a French family with three children, and during our 4-day stay in Los Angeles we had lunch here and absolutely loved it.

Overall, a great quality/price ratio — highly recommended!“

“Love the people and food is amazing!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“me encantaron las hamburguesas!“

“Todo excelente estos si es birria estilo Tijuana 👍“

“Delicious food and drinks!!!“

“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!“

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

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

“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.“

“I order the Pollo Asado and my wife gets the shrimp burrito. I don't say this lightly ... I love the burritos here and the potato taquitos . Honestly one of my favorite burritos. I know I know, but seriously I can't think of a place better. Everything is so fresh and flavorful. It's a hit or miss with employees. Some days you'll get someone friendly other days not so much.“

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

“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“

“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.“

“las gringas espevialidad de la casa“

“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.“

“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 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!“

“Not only are the food and setting at Alma amazing, the staff is great too! It is perfectly situated amongst the trees, next to the fountain so I'd say it's the best spot at the Grove. I love sitting on the patio, it feels like vacation!
The food is great and Aidee and her team are wonderful. I'm glad to see that it's consistently busy there so I know that it's here to stay!
I highly recommend!“

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

“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!“

“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! ?“

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