“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.“

“Very unassuming place. It looks modest and you would never guess how phenomenal the food is! Everything is freshly made. Hand cut folded wrapped prepped you got it. Best tacos I've tasted on this side of the border. Seating and parking is limited.“

“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!“

“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 food was delicious, large portions, and very affordable. We bought a burrito, 2 tacos, a quesadilla plate, and a bottled water all for under $40 🤯 not to mention one taco will fill you up, it was the size of a small burrito. The other cool thing about this place is its like a food court, there's any type of food you can think of including dessert and drinks. We passed up the place and there's a $10 parking lot right on the other side of the lot. We will definitely be 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“

“Open at 6am - 5 stars.
Got my breakfast burrito in less than a minute after ordering - 5 stars.
Cute hole in the wall Taco shop - 5 stars
$7.46 for a mini breakfast burrito - 4 stars.
Taste papas burrito with bacon - 4 stars
Bacon as bacon bits - 1 star
No green salsa - 0 stars. 😭

Please drop me a note, where can you get a solid breakfast burrito after 6 AM at a place that has green salsa?“

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

“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!“

“This place was phenomenal. The staff and owner were so friendly and engaging. The food was top tier. I had the street tacos and Avocado rolls. The tacos were portioned really well and the shredded beef was flavorful. The Avocado rolls tasted so fresh and the roll was light and fluffy. I could eat the roll without any fillingb, thats how good it was. The sauce that came with it was good as well. The fresh juice was a winner as well. The customer service, price, portion size, and freshness of the ingredients makes this place 5 star. I will definitely visit again and recommend this place as 10 out of 10.“

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

“Such a cute place and the food is delicious. The service was good too. I had the fish taco and it was out of this world, the portion was generous as well. I also had the vegetarian burrito and a bean and cheese burrito, those were insane as well 🤯“

“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.“

“Truck #2 in Tifton (Tuesday) was so good!! The lady working was so nice and the food was absolutely delicious. The frozen lemonades are my favorite!“

“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!“

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

“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“

“Best of the best of the best. The guy who was serving drinks instantly asked if I wanted to order and I said yes, he pulls out a checkbook and started taking my order. Food was done in 15 min after that and all staff are nice in red shirts!!“

“DELICIOUS,TASTY AMD FLAVORFUL HIGHLY RECOMMEND“

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

“Not even gonna lie. Some of the best tacos I've had here. The chicken wasn't pretty but it was dang sure good. It was for sure up to par with the pork. The pork was that crispy cook too, but they could cook it how u like. Where im for sure sold is that the tacos are cheap. I've noticed the price rise over the years. Another plus goes to the location. I believe if they aren't there, or right next to them this dude makes these mash potato meat and veggie bowls in the potato. Im telling you, you really have to check out the food on the street. Both the tacos and the potatoes. Last thing, they weren't those little tacos either. Nah, these tacos got gains. Please don't miss out.“

“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“

“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!“

“Ricooooo! Y limpio y la salsa picosa“

“Perfect chef he makes really good 10 dollar burritos. The service is great he always has a great Attitude never mean. The atmosphere is great because the taco truck is sorta in the shade making a partially seated area. So it’s a great chill vibe the food is great and it’s a lot of food like he makes sure your feed no matter what you get.“

“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.“

“me encantaron las hamburguesas!“

“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.“

“One of the BEST tacos in L.A.! The alpastor and chicken tacos are SO GOOD! I had to go back and order two more of each one! They offer tacos, tortas, mulitas, and burritos! Their salsa is what really wraps up the tacos! 🔥 very spicy and flavorful! The meat was so tender, juicy and full of flavor. I had their agua fresca de Jamaica 🌸 and it was very good! They have a table and stools where you can sit and enjoy your food there. Highly recommend! 10/10“

“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 🌎“

“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.“

“some of the best tacos in town 😋🤍“

“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!“

“The best tacos in California!“

“Todo excelente estos si es birria estilo Tijuana 👍“

“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!“

“I'm here at an amazing spot on hillhurst in Los Feliz across from Albertsons...

“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.“
