Outdoor patio is now covered and heated! We had 100 person party here the other day and stayed dry and warm. Food and drinks amazing as always

Nice stop near Universal Studios. Tacos are good and the atmosphere is cool. You order first and then go find a table. My favorite taco is the carnitas.

We went to road side taco with the best of intentions. They charged us 50 dollars for 2 margaritas. We didn't even feel them. For 50 dollars! Worst bartenders ever. Do not stop here. Tacos were good. Margaritas were bad. Should be called roadside margarita robbery. Never again. This was months ago. We are still very bitter. Everyone must know. Bring your own tequila.

After Universal Studios we wanted to eat some tacos. We found this place. It was late and we where a group of 10. There was no room indoors since there's only booths inside so we sat outside in the patio area. The waitress was quick on bringing the outdoor heater to warm us up. We ordered tacos and a cup with corn on the cob. The food was authentic and tasted like it should :)

First time here... and wasn't sure what to order. Service is not so great though I can be fussy too. Inflation could be a factor, but bar pricy for what they have. Bartenders were friendly though. Disappointed maybe will give another try, but was surprised the place looked cool.

I'm an LA native and grew up in the city eating tacos. I'm here to say, these are some of the best tacos in LA! The tacos I had were impeccable. The drinks weren't great but drinkable and I would again. Well done Roadside Taco.

Yummy tacos and nice margaritas. I love all their options. Parking can be a little tricky it's situated on Ventura cornered on a small neighborhood hill but across from a metro station parking lot. You can usually find a spot over there.

Food was good I may say wasn't happy about the service. Waited in a long line got my 3 ordered in with 1 bottled drink. With one of my order I changed the tortilla to a cheese tortilla for an extra 1.50 for it I'm guessing the cashier guy is still new and learning the system how to add or customize the tortilla in the system which is normal, so he had to ask help from another girl to put the extra $1.50 for the cheese tortilla. And because of the addition I did is where the confusion started, he repeated my order I paid and got my number for when the food is ready. On top of the long wait waiting for the food also took 15-20min finally got my text went to the pick up and asked for what I ordered I said 2 tacos and 1 roadside burrito which I said I think those two plates are mine, even the lady at the pick up looks confused with all three orders so he had to ask multiple people and finally the 3rd people said oh you only paid for 2 tacos and and a water, so I said wait what I specifically ordered for 2 tacos 1 burrito and a bottled water, so I went to the guy who took my order in and he said I'm so sorry did you order what kind of burrito I said the roadside burrito and he said I didn't charge you for it I'm sorry, my defense was you repeated my order at the end so how, I said you might got confused when you were trying to figure out how to charge me for the cheese tortilla. So I end up ordering and paying for the burrito and what makes me mad that all these people have me attitude instead of apologizing, now I have to wait another 10-15min and my 2 tacos is already COLD at this moment me trying to explain and speak to the staff. So end up eating my 2 cold carne asada and el pastor COLD and the burrito that I ordered came out not as good. Lesson always get a receipt double check the order or maybe even look at the screen I don't know. The way it was handled for a new opening restaurant wasn't good. Ambiance was nice it's an upscale looking food court at the second floor of Fountainblue.
Outstanding place for a large group! The food and drinks are excellent and the atmosphere was welcoming and chill. Separate tabs for everyone makes dining with a large group a breeze, but the food still comes out very fast and the service is top-notch. We came in with a large crew for a birthday party on the patio last night (it's covered with heaters, so even on a chilly January night it was very cozy), and everyone kept commenting on how terrific the location and food were. We will definitely be back!

I am very late on writing this review- It's consistently amazing - drinks and specials are great. Everything is high quality, fresh, flavorful. Everyone that works there is super sweet.

Cute spot that was right next to our hotel. Got a few tacos and some chips and salsa. All of the salsas were delicious and I was delightfully surprised that the habanero salsa was actually quite hot! I ordered shrimp tacos but with no coleslaw (I just don't like it) so they were a little plain but still tasted great. They also gave me some avacado dip and pico de gallo on the side that I poured on them and it was fantastic!

Amazing food & margaritas. It's never been packed with people which is great! Highly recommend the Al Pastor & Birria tacos

Enjoyed dinner here with my kids. Staff was nice and food was good. The vibe is chill. They have heaters.. You walk up order and they call you up. We walked right from hotel. Area seemed safe.
