“One of the best taco spots in town.
Great food , the carnitas are just perfect.
And the quesadilla have plenty of cheese and meat!
The burritos look big enough to feed three people
The staff are friendly and helpful.
Seems like a family run spot which is great to see.
They have tables and seats to eat there, but is also great if you need to grab something quickly.
Unbeatable prices!
Will definitely be back multiple times!“

“pasamos de pasadita guiados por los reviews y nos sorprendió los mejores tacos de birria qué hemos comido. recomendamos al 100 por 100“

“Just perfect food. Marinated and seasoned to perfection , the steak quesadilla rocked my socks. If it were socially acceptable I would bathe in their toum , but instead I’ll just put it in everything. The shrimp taco is better than even guisados. And the papas - stellar. The hype is real. Tried nearly everything and everything is so well thought out and just so flavorful. An absolute must. Rivals even the most authentic taco spots in Los Angeles. Lunch, Dinner, heck even breakfast. EAT HERE.“

“Local Taqueria worth the stop.“

“What a Lovely surprise ! We saw it on the way and decided to stop by. The team mostly composed by female chefs was very kind and helpful and the food they make is just delicious. The fries were one of the best fries I’ve had in LA and topped with cheese and Birria it was just heaven 👌“

“love simon. recently the quality has decreased a bit, with twice getting soggy oily tacos that just dont have the care put into them that they used to. the new digital ordering tablet is really bad. i also wish they would put their salsas into to-go cups for you so it would be cleaner than a communal station. four stars because they used to be my favorite truck in la and i know what they’re capable of!“

“las gringas espevialidad de la casa“

“This was our first time at Tacos Villa Corona and it was great. It is a small place and most get take away. That is what we did. The place inside is clean and just cute. I love the way they have art on the menu on their wall. It is family owned and a lot of the recipes are from the owners mom. She loved to cook.

We had the best breakfast burrito. It is called Papa Steak and we also had the best chicken quesadilla. Their chips are great and we had rice on the side. We got it all to go and ate in the car and listened to music. We had a great time.

This is a real gem that we had not heard of before and boy it does not disappoint. Beware the salsa, it is great, but what we had was way too hot for me.

Their hours are odd, so call to make sure they are open. They run out of food.

You will love this place. We do.“

“Great tacos!!!! To be returning soon again....“

“Avocado Fresh Mexican Grill was a great find. I ordered one of their bowls, and it was fresh, flavorful, and packed with hearty portions—exactly what you want from a build-your-own Mexican bowl. Everything tasted vibrant, and the ingredients were clearly high quality.

The staff was also incredibly friendly and helpful, making the experience even better. Overall, a delicious meal and great service. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Tire Shop Taqueria is a great place to enjoy flavorful food in a fun and relaxed setting. The restaurant has a cool, casual feel, and it really does feel like a neighborhood spot where people come to enjoy good food without any stress. From the moment you walk up, the smell of grilled meat lets you know you are in for something special.

One of the best items on the menu is the carne asada tacos. The meat is very tender and juicy, and it has a rich, smoky flavor that tastes amazing in every bite. The carne asada is cooked just right and pairs perfectly with the warm tortillas and fresh toppings. These tacos are simple but incredibly delicious.

The grilled al pastor tacos are also a must-try. They are well-seasoned and full of bold flavor without being too heavy. You can really taste the spices, and the grilled edges add a nice texture that makes them even better. Each taco feels carefully made and very satisfying.

The cheesy gringas cooked on the griddle are another highlight. They are crispy on the outside, warm and melty on the inside, and packed with flavor. The cheese stretches with every bite, making them comforting and hard to resist. They are perfect if you want something rich and filling.

The campechanas are very tasty and bring together different meats in one delicious dish. The flavors blend well, creating a hearty and satisfying option. Overall, Tire Shop Taqueria offers amazing food, friendly service, and a relaxed vibe that makes every visit enjoyable and memorable.“

“I drive by this spot all the time and finally stopped to give it a try. I got the Al Pastor burrito and was sooo happy with my choice. You see them cooking it right in front of you, all fresh. The tortillas are handmade as well and you can absolutely tell the difference. Love the salsas as well. It’s quick, reasonably priced, and everyone is kind. What more can you want from a local taco stand? If you are wondering whether to stop in, just do it already and thank me later“

“Ricooooo! Y limpio y la salsa picosa“

“Best tacos ACTUALLY! Family owned and very kind folks. Had 2 carne asada and 1 chicken tacos. The tortillas were fire and the meat sooo delicious. You also get to put your own toppings and they have guac as an option (not as an expensive add on). So yummy!“

“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!“

“Great food and very friendly!“

“This was by far one of the best spots in the market. The Carnitas are killer and the portion sizes are huge. Don’t be scared away by the prices because they more than make up for it in the portion sizes. Definitely a must stop while you are at the market and looking for some good grub!“

“the food looks and tastes authentic. They have a hand-made tortilla option. I recommend "una de surtido a mano" trust fam“

“Tried the birria tacos with chips, salsa, and guac — everything tasted authentic and really good. The birria was flavorful and tender, and the guacamole was really good, fresh and on point. Chips and salsa hit the spot.

Atmosphere was okay, but that’s expected — with just one table and a few chairs. Overall, the food is what shines here, and I’d definitely come back for the birria and guac. For 4 people it was $60“

“I went yesterday for the first time with my kids.
My parents invited me, since they said they had been there before and know i love tacos/tortas/etc.
The kids and i loved it.

Kid-friendliness: They gave my kids lollipops after.“

“You can never go wrong bringing a friend from out of town here at Upper West, joining family members to celebrate or just coming over to have a really tasty and good quality healthy meal! The owners greet guests, servers are attentive and the food is amazing! We come here often and love the appetizers from the chopped salad, to the crunchy rice tuna and cauliflower, to their main staples steak tacos, their seabass and short ribs! Do not forget the pudding for dessert! Wine selection is also great!“

“Update: This Taco stand is no longer in this location and we are very very sad.

Oooooooh baby! Hands down these are the best tacos in the area! I did get broken tortillas but all the meats are all so well seasoned and cooked literally 10/10. Also their sauce game is on fire literally and figuratively.“

“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.“

“Muy buenos los tacos, hoy dogs, militas, burritos. Todo muy bueno“

“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.“

“I LOVE this place! It takes me right back to my childhood! I stop by a couple of times a week... they are that good! The flavors are spot on! Janene, Andrea, and Gigi are so welcoming! If you're in the neighborhood, check them out. You won't be disappointed!“

“Their flour tortillas are made fresh on the spot and have a soft chewiness you rarely find in LA. I tried the carne asada burrito and was blown away by the grilled meat and spicy salsas. The outdoor setup is casual—just picnic tables and an awning—but it gets crowded fast. Staff is fast and friendly. It’s hard to go anywhere else once you’ve had their tortillas“

“pasamos de pasadita guiados por los reviews y nos sorprendió los mejores tacos de birria qué hemos comido. recomendamos al 100 por 100“

“This place was highly recommended. I had their carne asada burrito 🌯. It was a generous portion of fresh meat, rice & beans. The red salsa made it tastier. I had to save half for later as it was filling. Will definitely return!“

“some of the best tacos in town 😋🤍“

“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.“

“DELICIOUS,TASTY AMD FLAVORFUL HIGHLY RECOMMEND“

“Todo excelente estos si es birria estilo Tijuana 👍“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 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 🌎“

“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.“

“Wonderful service. I often visit here when I come into town. The mole and shrimp tacos are the best. Melon agua Fresca can’t be beat.

Tamales are also delicious. Great meal, great service. Parking can be iffy. Come early or not during peak meal times.“

“Great tacos and service. My favorite taco stand in Los Angeles. If they could add black beans and green lemons (when I went there were only bay beans and yellow lemons) the business would be absolute perfection. Even without them they are excellent but it would be good to reach an incredible authentic level. May they continue to be successful!“

“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!“

“me encantaron las hamburguesas!“

“Great food and very friendly!“

“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.“

“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.“
