“a bit pricey (at least here in downey) but the food is worth it!!“

“Marlene was so lovely! A true hole in the wall and George puts care into the food! Their house made salsas & sauces are incredible, highly recommend the salsa verde and the green crema! (Can't go wrong with any tbh) Get the fish taco too!!! Can't wait to go back ❤️ ✨“

“I love the Waterfront. Great food and service, bogo happy hour, nice people and chill vibe“

“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.“

“🥙☕️💜I am an avid taco lover. We had never been to this adorable Taco Restaurant in Venice Beach before.
The first thing I noticed was how clean it was.
I was now anxious to have my fave food in life - beef tacos! THEY WERE out of this world.
Our entire family enjoyed the food & a quaint ambience. The Coffee is excellent as well.
I give this “Young Kid Shop”’ 5 stars! Because, if it is not on the Menu, I would bet my life Miss NADIA would not only make it, it would be absolutely delicious!
It is the cutest little beach taco shop on the boardwalk in Venice Beach. Check it out.
💟🥙🏖️“

“This is the kind of taco truck that makes LA beautiful.

People of all color and status line up longingly looking for some deliciously well done tacos and quesadillas. Amazing salsas. Quick and generously portioned and priced“

“This is another gem I take visitors to all the time, mostly for a late breakfast. I come here for 20+ years. I gotta be honest: If you are looking for the best ... whatever food .... in town, don't bother to go. This place is about atmosphere and having a good time. The food is good, and we had an amazing time with our waiter Shilly yesterday - and left well fed and with $100 for the four of us fairly priced - given the location I would have expected more. Wow - five stars for OK food? Absolutely. In my very own rating scheme, it is mandatory for five stars that I would be willing to do a 30+ min detour just to go to this particular place. And I did. Many times. And will do it again. We've been to the Ivy's in Beverly Hills the night before. It would be totally unfair to compare on a mere culinary basis. Go here - prepared to have a good time - and you will.“

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

“We were blown away by how good the tacos were and had to order a second round immediately. Our favorites were the pastor, chicken and asada. Best tacos I’ve had in LA and will be planning trips to the westside specifically to eat here again.“

“Local Taqueria worth the stop.“

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

“Visited 2 separate times and got the same great service both times (proactive & friendly staff). Nice art on the walls to enjoy while you chow down.

Look no further for an excellent huevos rancheros or machaca breakfast burrito (especially if you like them with a little salsa)!“

“Came in to kill some time while waiting for music store next door to open, had two of the best carnitas soft tacos I've ever had, for only $6.75. The tacos were large and delicious and served with perfect green salsa, and they even brought me chips and salsa while I waited. My new fav taco place!“

“I'm a regular here. My family and I try to go at least once a week.
Customer service is perfect, and they're very friendly when they see a returning face.
I usually order the fried fish tacos or shrimp civiche. I don't switch it up because these are to die for!“

“Great tacos- super tasty, good price, has every side/ addition you could want. there’s even music playing. Has an organized ordering line and the chefs and staff were very friendly and attentive. So happy I ran into this walking to Vons. Has a few stools to sit on if you want to eat there. A table or two would be nice since gets pretty crowded but eating on the parking barrier on the side of the road w everyone still a vibe you know“

“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!“

“The tortillas are fresh and homemade! The salsa is outstanding!.. tacos are excellent!.. I particularly like the adobada, the asada, and the crispy tacos de papa… the atmosphere is definitely a little scruffy and casual, but with friendly staff and fair prices.

Parking: Just a few spots in their tricky parking lot, but street parking near by. Or take the bus, it stops right there!“

“I’ve loved this place for years. The shrimp tacos were worth the drive Now, no more shrimp tacos and referred to their cantina around the corner where the food is supposed to be the same. It’s not. Shrimp taco was awful. Definitely not the same menu and recipe The new cantina is beautiful though. But a no go for me“

“Hands down best tacos in the neighborhood. Chicken, carnitas and al pastor are our favorites. Lots of salsas and topping to choose from. Horchata is really good too. Authentic rice flavor and not overly sweet.

Kid-friendliness: Our kids love the chicken tacos, quesadillas and horchata.

Wheelchair accessibility: On sidewalk at parking lot level.“

“After a long flight we were looking for some good tacos. We came across Kike’s taco truck which is conveniently located near LAX. The birria tacos w consomé did not disappoint. Planes pass by every 2-3 minutes so it can be a little loud.“

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

“DELICIOUS,TASTY AMD FLAVORFUL HIGHLY RECOMMEND“

“Incredibly amazing customer service on top of some of the best Mexican food I have ever had in my entire life! I must say the yellow peppers in the free condiments bar are to die for!!?? I will be definitely always come back to this place when in the area!“

“We had enjoyed Home State prior to going to this location had a party.
My only comment would be that the food wasn’t as hot as I had hoped it would be by the time it came out to our table on the patio, but it was enjoyable. And the service is good.“

“las gringas espevialidad de la casa“

“Ricooooo! Y limpio y la salsa picosa“

“Both the Asada and Encebollado de res (beef with onions) were great. I'd never encountered encebollado de res before. The al pastor was also awsome, but it was very different from what I normally think of as al pastor. I'm almost tempted to say that it wasn't really al pastor. It was delicious though. I highly recommend it. The chicken taco was very well cooked, and nice and juicy, but would have benefited from some more seasonings or a marinade or something. Still good though.“

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

“This is a great example of how LA street mexican food culture is like.

This place has one of the best pastor tacos in LA. Their meats are well seasoned and are not dry. Their salsas have great flavor and heat.

The lines can be long but it is worth the wait. You just can't beat this place when it comes to taste, quality, and price.“

“The best Tacos and Tortas“

“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 asada and al pastor tacos!! Friendly service. Went on a Wednesday around 1pm. 3 people had already ordered ahead of me and 3 people ordered right after me, so I felt good about the truck having plenty of customers.

I'd had asada tacos at Baja for $1.50 each on Tuesday and was curious to see how they compared.

This place won by a landslide. I ordered 2 asada and 2 al pastor tacos. The tacos still only cost $2.50 each and all sorts of meats. The pickled carrot, onion, and jalapenos were ? as were the grilled onions and chile. Green sauce better than Baja as well!! Also came with 2 generous lime wedges, radish, cucumber, and some corn chips.

Flavor of tacos was good but everything else on the plate is what made it phenomenal. All the flavors combined ??

Definitely try this place. I had to wait maybe 10-15 minutes after ordering, but it was worth it. You can tell he cooks with love and passion.“

“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.“

“Not a long wait, and the food was AWESOME!!! My son and I will be back!“

“me encantaron las hamburguesas!“

“everything is good tamales the cakes the bread oh them girls are beautiful all the time“

“Great food and drinks 🍹 really good 👍🏾“

“las gringas espevialidad de la casa“

“Great experience!“

“This Guidados location is fairly new. We've also been to their Boyle heights location. Prefer the outside seating at the new location. The choice of tacos is extensive! I recommend the sampler.

Vegetarian options: Veggies are the substitute for meat.“

“I really like the food at this place…but the lady who takes the orders by phone is really unprofessional…he take the phone and leave it on the side without saying anything until she likes and she don’t answer the phone when is ringing. Very very bad.“

“Excellent Food!!!! I found this place while listening to the radio 93.5 kDay and I couldn't wait to get some of them enchiladas and tacos �“
