50 Best Taco Restaurants near Valley Glen

“Best taco stand in Los Angeles. The Barbacoa is the best I've ever tried, the habanero sauce is fire. Tacos, burritos, quesadillas, nachos you can't go wrong with anything. Plus the bar is amazing. Overall great experience.

Vegetarian options: Veggie tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and nachos“

“To be honest, I can’t say much about the rest of the staff, they were nice but also about what you’d typically expect from a fast food experience. But Marco? He completely changed my outlook.

From the moment I interacted with him, Marco was courteous, professional, and efficient, everything you hope for, but rarely get in a fast-food restaurant. Then I sat down with my meal… and I was shocked. The food was neatly prepared, delicious, and hot, it honestly made me forget I was even in a fast food restaurant for a moment. Major props to the cook! It was clear that whoever made the food didn’t just go through the motions, they put heart into it. So thank you for that.

What really stood out, though, was how Marco treated everyone. I overheard him help another guest who had a language barrier, and he showed them the same respect and professionalism he showed me. That kind of consistent kindness is rare, and it deserves recognition.

Marco is a great example of what good service should look like, not just for customers, but for fellow team members too. Jack in the Box is lucky to have him.

Thank you, Marco. You made a regular visit feel exceptional“

“Esta muy buena la comida Recomendado al 💯👌🏽😋“

“As some other reviewers I knew this place from youtube and was glad I went here when visiting LA. The quality of the food and the friendly staff are top notch. We tried steak, chicken and falafel tacos as well as quesadillas. All were great with the chicken tacos being my favorite. I truly loved the variety of flavors you get with every single bite. It was so good that we ordered some more tacos on our way out, as a snack on our road trip.

The obvious downside is the location in a bit of a sketchy area, but I assume that can hardly be avoided in LA.“

“Local Taqueria worth the stop.“

“The soft shell crab taco was stupendous. One of the best things I've eaten this month. Unique, flavorful, absolute must have.

The Baja style fish taco was fine, but not nearly on the same level.

One taco was around $7, which is more of a gourmet price. But I would happily pay that for the soft shell crab taco.

Service was very impersonal. Nobody greeted me. Not a single word of hi/hola, thank you, goodbye. Nothing. You just enter your name and order on a tablet. A few moments later somebody looks and gestures at you to take your food. Sitting situation is not great. But it's a fast casual bite, so you're not there for a long time. FYI - this is a food truck and not a brick and mortar space.

I would go out of my way to eat the soft shell crab taco again. Wow, I'm still thinking about it.“

“K Pasa is just what the neighborhood needed. The vibes are great, the food is fast, the food is delicious and the price point is right. They have a variety of free sauces to throw in too! I’m a neighborhood regular :)

Parking: Parking is paid at the meters and free on side streets but be aware that parking in K town is always a challenge.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access.“

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

“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 is the go to taco spot. I been coming here for a while now and they never disappoint. I tried their Carne asada tacos, asada quesadillas and asada burrito. The way they season the Carne asada is delicious and the red sauce that they give is the perfect combination. They now accept credit card but they charge a small fee if you use that. You can still pay cash or zelle if you don't want to use your credit card. The staff are very friendly and the guy working as the cashier is awesome. My wife also loves their food as well.

Parking: They are on Balboa and Nordhoff, more toward the back of Burger kings so there parking spots there.

Kid-friendliness: This place is kid friendly but they are near the main street of Nordhoff so just keep an eye on them.“

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

“Awesome tortas, I'm a chilango and these tortas are legit. I came with a party of three and we ordered different tortas. My favorite was the torta chilanga. The order took a few minutes but everything came out fresh. The ingredients looked high quality. These tortas also have the good cheese (quesillo or queso Oaxaca) so that's a plus. The gentleman who took out orders did a great job of walking us through the different menu items and told us which were the most popular. I did ask for a more custom torta and he basically said, no problem we can do that. Aguas were good too. I live in scv but I will be coming out here to get these tasty tortas.“

“Best shrimp tacos I ever had, and my partner was in love with her ribeye tacos!!! We also had the most amazing server today. Overall, while a little expensive, I definitely felt we got the meal we paid for, and right in the middle of the Grove! The great drinks and tres leches cake were also delicious and very well made. We shall be back!“

“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“

“Way better tacos than Leo's tacos. Their chicken tacos were so well marinated and juicy. Their salsas were so flavorful and they were very kind. Please take care of my people here and tip them extra so they stick around for a long time. Oh, and the pastor was dangerously delicious as well. Highly recommend ??“

“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.“

“Dont judge a book by the cover. Parking suchs. Ppl are ghetto and rude in the area. Best advise order to go and have someone drop you off while they circle around. But the food is soooo good. No bullshit. Quality food and meats

Wheelchair accessibility: Noooo“

“Ricooooo! Y limpio y la salsa picosa“

“👍People are very warm and accommodating“

“I love this place. The food is delish, made with care in their little pop up tent & the prices can't be beat so it's easy to leave them a great tip, which they totally deserve. The pastor & asada are both so excellent that i always want them & haven't tried anything else I like things spicy & they don't scrimp on the heat.??“

“Original little Mexican restaurant. Rustic and not chic but great food and ambience! The shop is small and only offers bar stools to sit on in the fully visible kitchen, where several chefs are busy preparing and serving up the delicious food.“

“Great tacos, fast, friendly and fresh. Also love that they had the spinach cucumber agua fresca.I think they recently moved because they red shirts said Ricos tacos Naomi, but the location was not on the map. Here is the location33°56'17.2"N 118°21'12.3"W“

“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 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.“

“I’ve been eating at Guisados for years. I started eating at the one in Sunset in Echo Park and loved it.

I’ve eaten now twice at the Burbank location and it’s fairly tasty food without the soul it used to have. The employees at Sunset were into what they were doing and I could taste it. Burbank lacks this. This is now a pretty big chain, did they forget where they started? Is much of the food now made in commissary and not on location? In any event it’s a pity. Judging by how empty it was I’m not the only one.“

“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!“

“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! ?“

“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'm never disappointed when I order Al pastor here. the burritos are loaded! and still reasonably priced. I love that they let me add toppings before they close the burrito and offer grilled cheese and onions. The line for the salsa station always feels chaotic because it mixes with the ordering line and you can never tell if the handles and the buckets are sanitary. But that's part of the street taco experience! I'll risk a little for that green salsa“

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

“Delicious food and drinks!!!“

“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!“

“Most of the tacos were very good and service was excellent. The carne asada, carnitas, and chorizo were pretty dry but had decent flavor. But the standouts were the al pastor, cabeza, and the brisket. They were all super tender and flavorful.“

“Todo excelente estos si es birria estilo Tijuana 👍“

“Fast and friendly service! The food was chef’s kiss!“

“We had a delicious lunch with the kids today. The shrimp and fish ceviche tostadas, quesadillas and carne asada tacos were all delicious! I would highly recommend going here!

Vegetarian options: You can order plain quesadillas if you’re vegetarian.“

“This place really hit the spot! I heard about it through theskedge.com & really enjoyed the food. The asada tacos are my go-to now lol can't get enough of them.“

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

“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.“

“Love the people and food is amazing!!“

“the food was 👍 num uno 1# great!!!“

“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!“

“Had a great birthday lunch here. Jose our waiter was excellent. We loved the brisket nachos, braised beef & KBBQ tacos. The breakfast burrito with brisket was also delicious. The red velvet churros were over the top and loved the birthday presentation!
Sitting outside on the patio made for a perfect celebration!“

“Such a happy owner/server! Loved this family! If you like a char grilled flavor, this chicken burrito reminded me of burger king’s char grilled flavor profile. Though I assume it’s real whereas BK probably has some of that in a bottle😏

Definitely a sloppy burrito, but tasty.“

“they take debit & credit cards, very clean awesome variety dishes👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼highly recommended, affordable 👌😍😋,💯⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“The tacos, the burritos, and the nachos are good. It could have been perfect if they accepted cards. I took off a star because it's just cash

Parking: It's mainly street parking but a lot of people do park at Walgreens.“
