50 Best Taco Restaurants near Venice

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

“Beef, chicken, and shrimp. ALL AMAZING. Made on the spot. Right by the beach. Master gave me 3 options of hot sauce - I was able to endure the pain of the spiciest one which wasn’t too bad. I’m drooling all over my couch thinking of these tacos. Highly recommended and I’m definitely coming back next time I’m in LA. Gracias.!!!“

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

“🥙☕️💜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.
💟🥙🏖️“

“By LA taco standards, I didn't find this place special at all.

So weird that there are no cheese options for the tacos. Would be a game-changer if you could have melted cheese like Tacos Los Cholos.

Quesadilla con Chorizo looks better than it tastes.

Taco sampler platter, the chicken ones are the best.

The Jamaica agua fresca is incredible and my favorite thing here.

Playing really good reggaeton music (e.g., Peso Pluma).“

“If you are searching for authentic Mexican tacos from a native of Mexico, this is the ideal location. It is evident when the locals visit that this establishment is excellent. The tacos were filled with meat, but the price was cheap. The picture depicts a food truck, but it was under a tent. Everything was freshly prepared and ready for consumption. This location is significantly cheaper than other locations. We pay for four tacos with one burrito for $20. Burritos are so delicious that you may not want to share it. This establishment only accepts cash. There is no table, only chairs. We would highly recommend this. Real tacos and very cheap. Secret spot.“

“Been coming here for years, great spot to people watch, grab a cocktail, and enjoy beach eats.“

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

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

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

“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“

“Local Taqueria worth the stop.“

“las gringas espevialidad de la casa“

“I am remodeling our home & my workers request that I go to Pepe's Tacos every time I decide to buy them lunch. It's easy to order with my iPhone & I ride my e-bike over to pick up the order(s) which are always ready by the time I get there. Everyone working there is always friendly & already know my name. I highly recommend this place the food is great!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Solid consistent taco truck. Al pastor is my usual go to, they have it on a fire spit. All the toppings area serve yourself so you can dress it up how you like it. They are also very efficient and nice people! Avocado salsa and the orange spicier salsa are both killer.“

“Delicious Birria tacos with cheese and consomé on the side. Good stuff!“

“We stopped here for a quick dinner, it was excellent.“

“Ricooooo! Y limpio y la salsa picosa“

“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 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.“

“DELICIOUS,TASTY AMD FLAVORFUL HIGHLY RECOMMEND“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“I can't expecting great tacos. Wasn't disappointed. What caught me off guard in the best way, though, was that they had pupusas. I love pupusas but feel like I struggle to find some that match my favorite/first love pupusas.

Um, I have a new favorite pupusas. Actual fire 🔥🔥. Let's keep it our little secret, ok? Wouldn't want the OGs to learn.“

“FOOD WAS INCREDIBLE ❣️❣️❣️

I can’t say enough how incredibly delicious this restaurant was. I called my friend, Dan R (Legendary, Venice, Photographer, and the world ) for a recommendation on some delicious Mexican food. He laughed and said Tacomiando (why he was laughing just delivered him food from the restaurant… he said this is definitely the best in the area and he was not mistaken. This food from the cleanliness of the restaurant to how nice and helpful the staff was I always judge a restaurant on their chips. As well, I can honestly say these chips were incredible along with everything I’ve tried. I almost forgot to mention they’re incredible salsa bar. Hope you can see in the photo, but it was quite extensive. ✨🤩😍

If you’re reading this and you like Mexican food, this is a must try

“me encantaron las hamburguesas!“

“The best Tacos and Tortas“

“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.“

“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 🌎“

“Had my anniversary dinner here. It was awesome. The food was very good, I got the birria quesadilla, and my partner got two quesadilla fritas. It was absolutely delicious. The truck looked very clean and the tables were also. The chairs are sturdy. The horchata was pretty good, on the light side and refreshing. There are planes that fly over but it didn’t bother us. Can’t wait to come back and try the rest of the menu!“

“WOW WOW WOW !!!!!! Best seafood I have had in California hands down. Extremely fresh, fast and packed with flavor. They hooked me up with a free Taco ?!?!!!!!!! Blown away !!! The service was amazing, the girl working the register was strait hustling and being courteous to every single person as dozens piled in 1 after another non stop as I enjoyed my meal at the bar. AMAZING MUST TRY FOOD !!!!!!!!!! I’ll be back Everytime I’m on this side of town.“

“Arrived too early to check in for our flight and had to wait to get to the floor where all the restaurants are. Sister is Vegan and was starving. Googled “ vegan restaurants in terminal one “ and Aces came up. Soyrizo is as available in tacos or burritos. Sister got tacos with vegan rice and beans. Rosa was very kind in answering all our questions and the food came out quickly. Highly recommend for those vegans traveling thru LAX“

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

“Last week I was traveling through LA on my way to Santa Barbara. I had some time to kill so I looked up Poke. Came across this amazing place! I am admittedly new to Poke. The staff took good care of me and I wound up having such a hard decision. I think the spicy Poke might have been might absolute favorite. I can’t wait for my next trip to LA so I can stop there again!“

“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!“

“Great Shrimp burritos. Lots of grilled Shrimp. Flavorful. Great size. Perfect grilled peppers, onions, lemons and salsa to pair. Great selection of tacos and burritos, grilled fish or shrimp, device, soaps, seafood soup, flan, and more.

Staff are welcoming and friendly. Indoor and outdoor covered seating. Great to enjoy the cool breeze while eating. Overall 10/10. Portion size 10/10. Flavor 10/10. Choices 10/10. Cleanliness 10/10. Atmosphere 10/10. Although music outside would be nice. Such a chill place.“

“I have been following tacos 1986 on Instagram (joy tostada) and have been wanting to try his tacos. we planned a family vacations to California to try their tacos and they did not disappoint. Tacos were DELICIOUS!! and the staff was very friendly. We even came in more than once to eat. Highly recommend it.“

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

“We swim at this beach and we love getting breakfast tacos and burritos afterwards. This food is delicious! They have vegetarian options. Their salsas are freshly made and the habanero is muy picante! 🌶️ Add their avocado green salsa - it’s unique and delicious! Very, very nice staff working day and night.“

“so good, and the service was amazing“

“This food is so incredibly good. It actually plays a crucial part in me and my partners relationship.

During our time staying across the street in the summer of July 2025, we’d come for warped tour.

We found this truck by happy-stance and it started such a memorable tradition when we first met. We visited the truck almost every night for a late night meal.

The people work hard, are super kind , It’s a bang for your buck and it’s really good food!

I can’t wait to come back here in a few weeks! Thank you for existing!“

“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.“

“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.“

“😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍“

“Great experience!“

“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 �“
