“I was in the area late in the evening and went on Yelp to see if there was a place open late that had tacos. Luckily, Tacos Palacios was open. I made my way down to check it out. The taco truck was parked at a gas station and had 2 picnic tables for dining. It was really cold outside. The owner, who was nice and polite, was working and helped take my food order. They have a big menu. I saw that they had tacos with handmade tortillas, so I definitely ordered two tacos with handmade tortillas, one with chicken and one with carne asada. Both tacos were delicious. They have a good spicy green salsa. I was still a bit hungry, so I ordered a burrito de al pastor. The meat was flavorful. I didn't realize that the burrito came with fries, but they were inside the burrito. They tasted good. It was my first time having fries in a burrito. The prices were higher than you would expect for 3 items ($22.50), but I think it has to do with the location. I will stop by again when I am in the area.“
“Came solely for the Al Pastor tacos and they were chef's kiss! CASH ONLY. Located in the parking lot by the gas station. A few parking spots available. No restrooms available (even in the gast station) You order your tacos at a smaller stand and then stand in another line to the food truck window to get your salsas and toppings (which are all pre-packaged) A couple of standing tables next to the taco truck for eating as well. The al pastor was juice yet tender, I always love the sweet pineapple component and then the avocado salsa was very good. The green salsa had a good kick and the red salsa had a slight smokiness to it. I dress my taco up with all the fixings so I liked the raw onions and pickles onions they offer too. Will be back!“
“How this place isn’t the most talked about restaurant in LA will blow my mind. Incredible. Fantastic. I would eat here everyday if my wallet could afford.Get their Lomo Saltado taco and you will dream about it for the rest of your days. You’ve been warned.“
“Amazing! I just moved to LA toHighland park, and I remember driving by this place and there was this looooooong line of people. So I figured I had to try it one day.Wow.I’ve been there a few times and haven’t reviewed it, so it’s about time.Tonight I went and got a chicken quesadilla (corn tortilla) and 2 queso tacos with Al Pastor.?First, they PACK it with meat. I always over order. Every. Single. Time. I should’ve just gotten the quesadilla or maybe, MAYBE one taco. Now I’m in a food coma. ?The food was delicious. The service was fast and friendly. If I could give them 6 stars I wouldn’t. I’ve been to a few other tacos spots i the area…. None of them compare.Quesadilla (corn tortilla) - $9Queso tacos - $3.50 eachCan’t go wrong with these prices either. Great price and delicious food.I’ll be back for my next cheat meal ! ?????Next time I’m trying the loaded baked potato !! Heard it’s incredible !Parking: It’s right in front of target. Park in there and walk around.“
“Best fish tacos on the east side. Could eat them once a week. Made to order from a taco truck so sometimes you have to wait a bit. Wish they were there later but great for an early dinner or lunch. My favorite is the recommended shrimp and cheese one and soft shell crab“
“Great Birria Ramen. Loved that I could order it online and it was ready for me by the time I showed up. It was easy to find parking, and I loved having the option to sit there too. Did I mention that the Birria Ramen was great. Totally will go back“
“Authentic street style tacos in an authentic atmosphere, tried more than one of each meat and everything hits the spot. The Horchata was fantastic and refreshing after a good meal.Would try a burrito or quesadilla from here on my next visit!“
“Just stumbled onto this place, what a Mexican taco place should be. A simple hole in the wall with some phenomenal excellent food. Coming from a Mexican I will tell you that this is good authentic Mexican food. Their tacos are Stupendous‼️ Best place for Mexican food on Melrose.“
“Must try if you are looking for delicious authentic birria. It's a cute-humble family owned establishment that serves very tasty dishes. My favorite was the consomé with tacos dorados. I do wish they had a spicier red sauce but overall was great. It hit the spot on a Sunday afternoon. I especially liked the fact I could dine-in instead of the typical food truck. I can't wait to come back and try more items. Thank you familia Castro.“
“My favorite taco place. Please blow this place up so it can survive!!! It’s in a slightly difficult place due to the traffic at that intersection but the food is sooooooo good and the workers are all so friendly. Cute space inside and out. Get your tacos/burrito gogo “
“Solid selection of tacos, counter service, where you order, huge drink selection, including a $200 margarita meant for 16 people (sorry that’s not pictured we must have finished it so quickly). Generous portions, and all the tacos which he would hope for spending at least $5/taco.“

“I came to La for the weekend and was looking for a taco spot to eat. The family and I tried taco guelaguetza and it was delicious and the workers were nice. I bought 22 tacos and 3 large horchatas and 3 medium horchatas for under $60 and they don't charge extra for special meats like cabeza or Lengua like the sf Bay Area. I was very happy and we will definitely be back every time going to La“
“This was easily one of the best dinner experiences of my entire trip to California.The queue is long, but who cares? Just stand in line and salivate at the thought of insane tacos, or perhaps a stupidly large burrito that can feed a family of three. Or you know, just get there earlier. The servers were super cheery and helpful as well, which is always a pleasure.The food is so flavourful, it even managed to retain its flavour when cold! Did I mention the food is amazing? It's amazing.“
“So delicious!! Great value, really affordable, lots of toppings :))) 10/10!! Really going to miss la tacos!All the options are super fresh and full of flavor! The mango salsa and sauces are fantastic. Made our night!Ps: they have a seating area“
“The restaurant is the best. One of a kind menu. The chef do this weird but really creative culinary plates that doesnt make sense, you cant even imagine how it will taste, but i know for sure it will be really boom. You will be fascinated. I am an honest and serious customer. Although the place its just a little small and i will change it to 5 star once i think it deserve it. In my opinion. Customer service really good. Security, bartenders as well do their job as it should be. Just the small room doesnt make me go up to 5 star, but we'll see sometime.“
“Location a bit unusual, but I am not from the area, so maybe it is not. The service was fine. The prices were good. Our foreign exchange student had pollo and asada, which he enjoyed, but said the steak was the better of the two. My partner had the vampiro, which she loved. Finally, I had the quesataco with chivo. It had just the right amount of juice and gaminess. The offer a wide variety of tasty salsas and drinks. With the countless options in the LA area, I would have to be near it or have a goat craving to eat here again.“
“Found this little eatery which served Mexican food. Looked like a family run business. Their tacos were so good and tasty. Burritos too hot and fresh!! Nice little place to eat and hang out. Just by the street. I wanted the sour cream and Chipotle sauce off my taco. The lady happily obliged to the request. Definitely recommend them.“
“The food was very good. My favorite thing was the spicy Pescado tacos. The chorizo scramble on toast was not as good as I was hoping it would be, but I did love the mimosa option with a flight of juices to kind of make your own mimosa. got there fairly early so there weren't many people and there, so the noise level was low and the atmosphere there is very charming and warm..“
“Love their tacos and burritos! It's right next to my work and they usually setup by 3pm so we can get early dinner with the team. I usually get the carne asada and el pastor tacos + burrito. If I ask them mix (beef /pork) meat in the burrito there's $1 extra charge. Last time I didn't have an extra dollar so the amigo gave it to me for free. The meat is little bit salty so don't put too much sauce! Love their grilled onions too and avocado sauce. Tacos $2.50 and burritos $10 as of February 2024.“
“The place is beautiful and the food was delicious. However, the service was not good, the male waiter at the registration desk was a bit rude and I think he is a racist. He let white people in first even though they arrived later than you and only acted friendly to them.“
“They are open Monday through Friday from 6pm to very late 1130pm and are very nice people. The food is excellent especially the tacos are my favorite. The burrito is good but a little pricey for the size. Overall we were very satisfied with our meal and the friendly service here. The best part is living 2 blocks away.“
“Was in the area and seen the amazing reviews! Definitely worth a visit perfect bite size tacos with breakfast options, I got the Guadalupe to go with a glass bottle of coke definitely would visit again and love to try something different. Definitely try and beat the morning rush it is no joke. Small inside the location but definitely worth it!“
“Amazing Mexican food. The home made tortillas were so good and the Mexican brown rice was such an awesome brown rice prep. Great service, nice people.We missed a couple items on our takeout order and the restaurant promptly refunded us. Really appreciated the help with that one.“
“Their tacos were so filling and delicious. I ordered a few tacos to start off with and shared it between my family and I. My kids really enjoyed the tacos and we had to get more. The atmosphere felt lovely and pleasant. My kids always tell me to come back whenever we're in LA. Thank “
“Delicious Quesa Tacos! Must try if you're in the area or craving savory food. I had the steak and Al pastor. Their tacos alike their burritos are served with pickled onions, lime and chilitos. I can't wait to try the birria next time you won't regret it.“
“4+ Considered one of the best by many or at least one of the most popular taco spots in Los Angeles. They have a good variety of items and meats, but I would say they are most known for their al pastor (marinated, spit-roasted pork that is usually served with a slice/ chunk of pineapple). The service here is pretty efficient since they have to be - there's almost always a line. The vibe: depending on the time of day or night you come, it's usually a mixed group of people wanting to try this spot, people eating after a drinking session, or just people looking for decently priced tacos. One of the times I was here, I was standing behind Dante Basco (Rufio!), haha. Usually a fun vibe for sure. My usual here is two tacos (typically the al pastor) and a mulita. It used to be that there was a toppings and salsa bar where you would dress up your food. Not sure if it's because of the pandemic or people taking advantage and taking too much stuff home, you now have to go to a separate window to ask for the toppings and salsa and they're individually packaged. I definitely think this place is worth going for the al pastor. I myself have been here multiple times. Parking can be tough, but if you are going during the week there's usually parking along the street facing south on LA Brea right around the corner. Just be careful though as it is a relatively high traffic area and some people seem to drive recklessly in this area.“
“Loved this place ! Great for a chill (and family friendly) vibe by the Santa Monica pier . The servers were super friendly (they even offer complimentary food for your dog). The portions are large and filling. The grilled fish taco (snapper) was delicious and their guacamole is fresh and chips are not too salty.I especially enjoyed the watermelon agua fresca (fresh watermelon that is not too sweet).100% recommend this spot.“
“Found this place last minute and so glad I did. They accept card/tap pay which saved me. They were super nice and efficient. The food? PHENOMENAL. Will be coming back more often. Fresh made tortillas. The meat was seasoned and delicious. Fire fire fire. ?“
“What a gem! Absolutely delicious. I had an asada burrito with a kale agua. The agua was so refreshing. The burrito was crazy! Everything fresh, perfectly seasoned. Just a perfect burrito. My wife had asada and fish tacos with a kale agua. She said these are the best tacos she's ever had. Really cool spot and the customer service was wonderful. Look forward to coming back soon!“
“This place is my to go place for tacos n Asada nachos I don't go anywhere else around my area they are delicious specially their Salsa so good... Service is great they try n go as fast as they can not much of an ambiance since its a food truck i grab my food n go“
“I’ve been looking for a delicious torta for a long time and I finally found the place! If you like fresh delicious food this is the place. The service is excellent, they answered all my questions and explained their menu. I created my own sandwich with some recommendations from Johnathan who was awesome. This is by far the best torta I’ve ever had! It was so good I was back a couple days later for another! Wifey ordered tacos and they were amazing as well. The flavor and freshness of the meat is what sets them apart. No old meat being served here. Definitely my go to spot for delicious fresh food!“
“Daaaaang! This food was delicious! We stopped by after a long hike, purchased the OG Plate which has mostly everything they serve. And devoured it! The consome was awesome as well! Dip everything in it!? Then we washed it down with a refreshing hibiscus drink! Will be back for the burrito!“
“As a self proclaimed taco connoisseur I’m happy to report these tacos are some of the best I’ve gotten. I got two of the mushroom ones and they were incredible on God I inhaled them. Service was also great all the workers were really funny and nice and the atmosphere was good too the shop is right on the street which makes it great for people watching ??? 10/10 would take the bus for 30 minutes to eat here againVegetarian options: On God bro as a vegetarian I know how hard it is to find good meatless options and this place DID NOT DISAPPOINT the mushroom tacos were ??????“
“Great dining experience!!! Great tasting food, we had sea bass with the shrimp skewers, we loved the food. Sides of zucchini, rice & slaw were great. Fantastic service by Adela and Danny. Both were very friendly and very helpful!!! Thank you both. Will be back soon.“
“Real Mexican cuisine!!! Despite the fact that the place looks very “simple,” the guys cook truly delicious Mexican food. I work nearby and it seems to me that I have already tried everything!! Favorite - casadilla with chicken and avocado?“
“Very impressed. Super clean. Super friendly staff. One of the better tacos I have ever had. Lot of varieties. Six different salsas. Unlimited side dishes free. fresh drinks. The meat was very juicy. We had carne asada and beef tongue and brisket and chicken.“
“Went to the truck on West Sunset Blvd AND WOW. 10000 stars. This is one of the best tacos I've ever had. The flour tortilla is top notch. We had the asada tacos and they were delicious. I'd drive hours for these. Totally worth a trek if you don't live nearby.“
“This place is adorable! It's very small but we went during the day, so it moved rather quickly. Everything was pink and decorated really cute. Totally Instagram worthy. The parking sucks. But I guess that's anywhere in LA. But the restaurant is decorated so cute. Perfect spot for a brunch. We order the tacos and they were delicious. We also got the chips and salsa the sauces very flavorful. A little spicy, but nowhere near as spicy as the red and green sauce for the tacos. Ohhh those are hot lol. The service was great. He was very helpful. And he got our order to go rather quickly. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the LA area. Perfect for the foodie in your life!“

“Everything very Authentic taste from food to drinksCarne en su jugo was perfect with the hot fresh tortillas u see them making as you walk inCafe de Olla so sooooo delicious ....Our servers were extremely nice great atmosphere definitely worth stopping by“
“I really enjoyed my visit here again. I came back 2 years after my first time here to take a photo by the boat. The bartender, Mikey, was absolutely amazing and really knowledgeable about tequila. He knew a lot about the drinks and he made some really nice cocktails for me and my friends. I will totally come back next time I am in Santa Monica!“
“¡En primer lugar, Jairo es el mejor que hay, un hombre muy agradable y un gran servicio al cliente! ¡En segundo lugar, empecemos diciendo los mejores tacos de la historia! No voy a ningún otro lugar aparte de mis tacos de Leo tan buenos como si tuviera antojo de algunos ahora mismo. Me encanta este lugar, lo recomendaría 5/5The atmosphere is dope too not to spooky great spot to get tacos safely“
“Once you've tried their tacos, you'll be back. We can't get enough of their food. Every time we have visitors in town we bring them here and they leave craving more. (as do we!) These guys have mastered the art of cooking all the different meat options they provide. You can also get burritos, and quesadillas. This taco stand is by far one of the best I've ever been to. A must try!“
“This location opened after the original one in Culver City, and it’s so great to have them in DTLA. Loqui has some seriously tasty tacos and bowls, and this spot specifically has a nice outdoor seating area which is always great for a lunch break on a sunny day. The chicken and cochinita are the standouts for me. Without a doubt worth a visit if you’re in the area and are craving tacos.Vegetarian options: They have mushroom tacos, bowls, and simple quesadillas as vegetarian options.“
“Tacos are delicious. Love the options they have. I will suggest getting the sampler order to see which tacos you like the most. All their tacos are really good, but my favorite is chicharron, bistek en salsa roja, calabacitas, and chile relleno. The agua fresca de melon is really good, too. Don't forget to request salsa on the side. It is really good and spicy.“
“LOOOOOOOVE this truck!!! Srsly the best tacos around, can't recommend enough. If I could go there every day and give it 10 stars I would. It's such a treat, those tacos are stuffed full of meat and the chips are fantastic. Super friendly people, and perfectly placed outside of NoBar“
“I attend a family gathering, they served food from HomeState that was so delicious, I just had to write about it. A pre-order for 2 dozen tacos, tortilla chips and toppings was served. The tortillas were handmade and filled with a variety of protein, cheese and beans. Each was individually wrapped in foil and clearly labeled for your convenience. The food has a "Texas" flair to it, featuring brisket, pinto or black beans, diced potatoes, pickled red onions, Pico de Gallo, and vegetarian options too. I chose the "Don't Mess with Texas" soft taco. It was filed with Charro beans, bacon, potatoes and cheddar cheese. You can also buy a dozen flour tortillas as a side and save them for the next day! So worth the price ($8 a dozen). They are open 7 days a week, for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Try them and you will want to go back for more. Don't forget to tell 'em that Rosemary sent ya!“
“So cool to experience these tacos from Wisconsin. Flavor is really rich, cooked to perfection. All tacos were delicious! Made me dream of being in Mexico like when I just to live, TMI but tacos and the staff were on point! Thank me later!“
“My Server Hope wow thank you for giving me and my family very nice and number one service ! Just omg you’re customer service is amazing your the best we will most definitely come back because of ur good service hope kip the good vibes going ?“
“The food here is unmatched. The best tacos and salsa around by far. The service? Not super amazing, but it made for a more intentional dining experience, and I don't mind that. Truly though, the steak tacos set a new bar for me. Amazing work in the kitchen. Great cocktails too!“
