“✨✨SHOW STOPPER ✨✨
✨EXPLOSION OF FLAVOR ✨
WOW!!! This was our first stop coming into town and wouldn’t have wanted it any other way! The second the first bite of Alex’s incredible burrito and street tacos hit my mouth there was no going back. His ability to create such incredible flavors in not only the burrito itself, but all of the add ons and sauces as well is OUT OF THIS WORLD!! Would go again, again, AND AGAIN! 😋 Not to mention Alex’s ability to make you feel at ease and have a great time in such a comfortable setting.

If you don’t stop here, you must not like top notch culinary delights and authentic experiences 😊🔥🌯🌮“

“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 👌“

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

“sabrosisimas todas las tortas“

“Loved the tacos!!! All the variety of toppings and add ons were delicious and fresh! The sauces gave the perfect spicy, and I just can't stop raving about this place! The staff were very friendly and accommodating, and the prices were great as well. :) Wish we had places like these in Chicago, but so happy to experience tacos in the most delicious ways!! Definitely eat here!!“

“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.“

“Man I wish I had this close to home , every time I’m in La this is my go to taco shop I’ve tried many from random YouTube videos but never beats out these tacos . Such an authentic Mexican spot I’m hungry rn typing this out but damn I can use 4 asada 1 chorizo rn 🤣🤣🤣 everything is really good n how you would expect it to taste . Much love from nor cal to my taco spot in LA you guys are appreciated“

“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!“

“Ricooooo! Y limpio y la salsa picosa“

“Parked near the laundromat in the evenings, this truck serves al pastor tacos that are simple but packed with flavor. The marinated pork is juicy, and the pineapple adds a sweet balance. There's a little salsa bar with green and red sauces that are both excellent. Only accepts cash. Neighborhood feel—you’ll often see families stopping by“

“They are the best tacos I've ever had at a good price, and the tortillas are handmade $1.50. The meat is very tasty and don't tell me the al pastor ones are good. I've bought these tacos since day one, they hardly had people, but now what happened here they are full of people that means they are progressing congratulations for the boys,,,,,,, The tacos are very good“

“I've been coming to this establishment since I was about 6-7 years old I'm 34 now and this place hasn't changed much besides the price and it's not much more than before. Quality will never change, flavor will always be amazing, and the customer service beyond excellent. There's always a line but trust me when I tell you it's always worth the freaking wait. I will not post the tacos because I rather keep them a surprise for yourself. Trust me when I said one is MORE than enough. Save room for dessert or something else at another nearby stand/establishment. Birria, carnitas and cabeza are my absolute go-to options. Always pairs perfectly with a nice cold beer or a refreshing aqua fresca.“

“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.“

“Hands down one of the best, most consistent tacos trucks in LA! The suadero is insanely good and the salsas are as abundant as they are tasty. 😋 My friend got a burrito that changed his life. 🤣 The best late night treat that never gets old. Great people, great service. ¡¡Gracias 🙏🏽 por todo!! 🌮 🌯“

“My experience with Upper West was fabulous. From making the reservation, changing the reservation and handling of an additional person last minute to our reservation for 12, was done with great ease. The food was delicious. The service was stupendous. It was a fun time had by all. I would certainly recommend it for a large gathering or to sit at the bar by yourself, and anything in between.“

“some of the best tacos in town 😋🤍“

“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!“

“THE BEST IN MY LIFE!Yall made me miss my haircut appointment bc I had to turn my truck around to tell yall how AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS your tacos were!!! The QuesaBirria Tacos were too good to not acknowledge ASAP. I'm following, and I recommend everyone do so also. You WILL want to know when they're in town!“

“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“

“DELICIOUS,TASTY AMD FLAVORFUL HIGHLY RECOMMEND“

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

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

“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!“

“This is a different taco place than what you may be accustomed to. Here they serve tacos with fillings that are much more humid and juicy than you average taco stand. They serve tacos with Tinga and Cochinita Pibil among other things, but the base is that they are all served with fillings that have been cooking for a looong time! They also have vegetarian options. I gotta say the food is a little pricey for my taste. 4 tacos, 2 drinks, and a tostada were 33$“

“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.“

“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.“

“Everything about this tacos is amazing. Whoever didn’t try it. You have to run and you’re gonna need to stay in line. The people are amazing. The food is amazing. Only good things. I’m going there at least three times a week and it’s not expensive. Where are you? Gonna find a burrito for $10.“

“When I worked in downtown, our office would often order lunch from the now closed 6th Street location but I had eaten at and still do check out the still open food court spot at 7th and Fig. The one nice thing about that particular location is the option to eat in the courtyard. But the interior food court is clean, well-laid out and pleasant enough for lunch.

The food is uniformly good and prepared to order. A much better spot than any Chipotle.

Vegetarian options: Limited as with most places that cater to meat eaters but plenty for your vegetarian in a group. However, there are better options for the single or small group (2-3 people).

Dietary restrictions: They prepare to order so easy to ask them to minimize spice or cilantro or otherwise handle the simple stuff.

Parking: While not a destination, for people visiting the convention center or former Staples arena, who want to grab a bite AND avoid the overpriced tourist traps at LA Live, this is a good option.

Kid-friendliness: Very

Wheelchair accessibility: Very, although elevator is slow and for people with walkers or canes, the escalators have been down of late.“

“Great spot. Great tacos. Also, the folks who work at Tocaya are wonderful. They're on it — excellent service and atmosphere. Josh (the manager) runs a very smooth operation and Ana who works front of house is also incredibly warm, helpful, and efficient. Thanks for always taking great care of us!“

“I feel passionate about this one - people are sleeping on Ricos Tacos Naomi! First of all, the tortillas are made by hand. That’s enough to set this place apart from the tens of other tacos spots using low-quality tortillas. The tortilla should not be an after thought, folks! Second, the meats are delicious. Their al pastor is juicy and well-seasoned. I am a sucker for tripa but I’m always hesitant to order it because some people don’t know how to clean it and cook it. The tripa at Ricos Tacos Naomi is fantastic! You can ask the guy to crisp it up if you want it crunchy, but personally, I like it soft. And third, the toppings (salsas and guacamole) are yummy!“

“👍People are very warm and accommodating“

“We ordered a bean and cheese burrito, tacos de asada, and torta de asada and everything was really good. Plates were well portioned. Service was amazing and attentive. Sauces were tasty and mild. They have small tables and chairs on the sidewalk and it’s a relatively chill location. Definitely coming back.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Todo excelente estos si es birria estilo Tijuana 👍“

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

“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!“

“me encantaron las hamburguesas!“

“I have been going here since I was 15. Now 42. Never a dull moment, food is amazing and consistent, workers are awesome and good at what they serve. Fries are bomb!!! Food is amazing, writing about is making me go back. Okay...I'm driving there now. “

“Holy moly, my new favorite taco spot. Been meaning to try them for ages, and was finally hungry enough on my way home from the cinematheque. Here’s to extraordinary art house cinema followed by extraordinary tacos.

The Al Pastor was ON POINT. It’s rare to find authentic pastor outside of DF and this is IT. As I sat by the parking lot, getting an accidental whiff of gasoline, it was almost like being back in El Defectuoso!!! Carnitas was good too, but the moist kind, rather than the crispy kind I truly love. But the meat was PILED HIGH on both tacos and the salsa bar ample and luscious. Avocado salsa!!! Don’t walk, run.“

“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.“
