50 Best Taco Restaurants near Valley Glen

“Stopped by from Valley Village and damn this place is good! Got the Durango Special and I can’t stop thinking about it. All of the flavors and seasonings were on point. The server was super friendly and played “taco roulette” with one of them being super spicy. 10/10 would go again“

“Wait times in the drive thru were very short, the staff were friendly and accommodating and the food quality and taste is consistent. Never any surprises, you get the great food you ordered and are expecting. And you don't have to take out a loan to afford it either. Watch for online specials.“

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

“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!“

“Quien quiere tacos de etzatlan 😀😀😀😀😀👋👋👋 ricos de cabeza“

“sabrosisimas todas las tortas“

“las gringas espevialidad de la casa“

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

“Ricooooo! Y limpio y la salsa picosa“

“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“

“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!“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Will drive 6 hours away to Come eat here any day 🌮“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great food and very friendly!“

“👍People are very warm and accommodating“

“We love coming to this spot for the Al pastor tacos, they open in the afternoon around 4:30 when we went so sometimes we miss them after our Chipotle run, we love that they serve the tacos loaded with meat so that adds a lot more meat to our chipotle bowl 😆 we have created the best of both worlds. & great free parking with the parking lot in that same corner is a plus.“

“😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍“

“This place is the best spot to get Mexican food! They serve the most delicious quesadillas, the tastiest burritos, and the best tacos you’ll find anywhere. The quality is always excellent, everything is fresh, full of flavor, and made with great care. It’s honestly the best quesadilla and burrito I’ve ever had. These guys really know what they’re doing when it comes to Mexican food!“

“Super deliciosos, los mejores tacos estilo D.F en Los Ángeles, CA sus salsas exquisitas“

“Love it here, the food is amazing! The chefs are so kind. Normally just get asada tacos but recently removed red meat from my diet, so today decided to try their chicken burrito ?? and I had to come give them their stars! Thank you for excellent service and food! ?“

“It's a 7/11 A little crustier than some but whattya want for a hot day in LA? I was thirsty and bought a bottle of water The clerk was nice The store was clean enough Enjoy! It's near a very cool post office!“

“Great place. The food was delicious and the portions were generous. The two gentleman working were respectful and attentive. Their salsa's were perfectly spiced and there was a ton of variety. Free tortilla chips were provided with our meals. I'd most definitely come back everytime I'm iin the area. Highly recommend.“

“So glad my daughter and I stopped here. We each had breakfast burritos and they were excellent. Not only delicious, but big. We both tried the hot salsa and liked it. The atmosphere was very inviting. The service was the best I've received in a very long time. The server was very attentive and sweet. The cook came out and asked if we were enjoying our meal. He was interested in our feedback. We both decided we would be back even though we don't live in the area. It was definitely worth the effort of finding parking. Don't pass this place up
PS, the cook let us try the birria. That's what I'm ordering next time. Yum“

“Got a small bite here and super delicious and awesome setting outside.
Hope the owners see my edit...my family will be checking you out soon hopefully! I wanted to stop before heading to the airport but didn't have enough time. Will be returning next time for sure!“

“I had the torta birrieria and it was phenomenal!!! I highly recommend it!“

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

“Nice Yogurtland location, typical as they all are... This one seems to be a little more expensive than in the Basin....“

“If you want a quick, cheap, no grills and delicious, street style taco fix on this side of the border in NoHo, Sandy's is your place. Buche, cabeza, tripas, al pastor, you name it, they probably have it. I usually get those three and it sets me back $15 for 7 tacos. They are not that big so depending on your appetite, you might need more. I usually eat that in 2 servings. Oh btw, "cash" only!“

“I was just passing through LA to switch Amtrak routes and was delighted to find Juanitas Cafe on Olvera Street. A simple but delicious place to get a hearty torta de choriza with champurrado. So convenient to Union Station but not a bland chain eatery. The owner prepares the food as his grandmother, Juanita, did.“
