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.!!!“

“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.
💟🥙🏖️“

“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).“

“Absolutely outstanding - the best burrito I’ve ever had!

The burritos are incredible value at just $10 USD, and the portion size is enormous. One burrito is easily enough to feed two people.

What truly made this place special, though, was the service. The owner and staff were incredibly warm, welcoming, and genuinely friendly. Their hospitality was unmatched.

A huge thank you - I can’t recommend this place highly enough! Come to Australia next 🇦🇺“

“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“

“Exactly what you want from your street taco experience. Made fresh on site right in front of you, great people, great flavor, and a great value. We got quesadillas for the kids (which I ended up eating the leftovers of), and 5 tacos - 2 beef, 1 chicken, 1 pork, and 1 fish. All were fantastic!“

“Local Taqueria worth the stop.“

“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!“

“First off, Terrific Customer Service at the Long Beach, CA location! The manager is amazing. So helpful with recommendations when asked, provides great detail, and is so enthusiastic about the incredible menu. Tocaya at 2nd & PCH has lovely, fresh, bright, clean food. The menu is unique and flexible. You get to choose the protein you want, the cheese you want, whether or not you want your dish to be vegan. So many options and super tasty food! My friend really enjoyed the VEGAN Asada & VEGAN Tinga tacos. I loved my Taco Salad with gluten-free, battered & fried mahi-mahi (that was so, so scrumptious) with Queso Fresco. I swapped and got the cilantro lime dressing (instead of the roasted poblano dressing) and my bowl of goodies was delicious. We shared and relished the Street Corn and the (VEGAN) Queso & Chips. We were both shocked to find the Queso was VEGAN; it’s that good! We also tried the vegan Crema, just to check it out — SO yummy. AND the obviously homemade chips were mouthwatering. Tocaya has seasonal Sangria selections, beer, and other interesting drink options. They’ve got indoor and outdoor seating… and I recommend you head over soon!“

“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!“

“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.“

“las gringas espevialidad de la casa“

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

“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!“

“If you're looking for legit Mexico D.F.-style tacos and burritos, this spot is worth checking out. The meat tasted fresh and had that mesquite-grilled flavor that really stands out. The salsa bar was on point too. Every salsa had its own flavor and actually complemented the food instead of overpowering it. One thing I really liked was that they let you build your own burrito with as many toppings as you want, so you can make it exactly how you like it. Fresh ingredients, great flavor, and definitely a spot I'd come back to.“

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

“Early Monday morning. Great service. Ordered the chorizo burrito no beans and the weenie burrito. Both had eggs cooked to perfection. Although I prefer my chorizo mixed in with my eggs. Just a personal preference. Tortillas amazing. Salsa rojo to die for. Would def come back!! Great location near the beach!“

“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 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.“

“Delicious food and drinks“

“Everyone thinks LA food is great ,this is big mistake,it’s really hard to find tasty and nice place ,where you would love to be back again .But want to share this place ,it’s called Great white I will promise you will want to come back. Great menu ,good drinks. I love alcohol specially wine.with wine life is better oops here we talking about different things.So back to Great white. Menu is amazing ,fresh and delicious. Recommend this salmon board or Chrissy chicken sandwich you wills at thank you.🍷“

“I never knew there was a Homestate near by, I took my family there after I went to a couple of yelp events where Homestate was featured and loved their tacos, but I have never tried their hibiscus limeade. This was refreshing and amazing. My tijuana pather (brisket taco) fell apart but it was so good. Honestly, I've had several of their tacos and forth worth is my favorite. The potato taco was also decent. These tacos are messy because it is filled. You will leave full after 2 tacos.

The service was also great. They accidently left the bacon in the forth worth and fixed it right away. Even offered 2 cookies because it was busy and had to wait. That's great customer service.

I will be making this location a favorite for tex mex tacos.

Also parking is better after 6, it's only 30 mins prior right in front. This is downtown culver city so there's several lots and I'm not entirely sure about parking in the neighborhood, so just check signs.“

“Ricooooo! Y limpio y la salsa picosa“

“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“

“Great food and drinks 🍹 really good 👍🏾“

“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!“

“La comida está excelente deliciosa ! Y de verdad tiene un sazón mexicano,real.muy buen servicio los cosineros súper rápidos y muy amables!😃Lo recomiendo:)“

“Lovely restaurant with lovely staff!! I always find myself coming back here whenever im on melrose. The food and portions are amazing, and thank u so much to the chef that served me and my boyfriend extra tacos for free. That little act of kindness really made our day! 🩷“

“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.“

“Best tacos of my life. Fresh tortillas, not too much cheese that was nicely toasted, and TONS of high quality meat. Not greasy, either. I’ve been to Angel’s and Villa’s, and those don’t even come close to these.“

“friendly place great food and good price“

“The best Tacos and Tortas“

“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.“

“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 🌎“

“Jennifer was incredible!! Total sweetheart. Very helpful in many ways. Explaining to me all the differences for questions I was asking.
I’m a very plain Jane when it comes to food and can’t handle spicy. So they were very accommodating to make my food exactly how I wanted it. Like shows in pictures.
Allison was also very amazing. Both checking on me, and the others here eating as well. Making sure we had all we needed.
Very happy I stopped in today. As my flight was delayed. So it worked out“

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

“Quesataco is amazing!! So juicy and flavorful, it’s delicious every bite. Regular taco is delicious too if cheese ain’t ur thing but if it is, mulita is pretty good as well. Tacos are on the smaller side, so I usually order 2-3. If you are craving for dessert, their churros are warm and crispy! Highly recommend this place“

“I really enjoyed my time at Alma and was there to celebrate my 4-year anniversary. Unfortunately, the experience at the front entrance started off on the wrong foot. The person at the entrance initially told me that I did not have a reservation before checking again and finding my name. That was very disappointing and has never happened to me before, even when making reservations at restaurants in places like NYC and Miami, FL. Thankfully, everything else about my experience was good, and I still enjoyed my dinner and celebration. My advice to anyone planning to visit Alma is to come early rather than waiting until it gets late and busy. It seems that when things get crowded, there is a possibility that you may be overlooked or that your reservation may not be immediately recognized, even if you made it properly. Overall, I enjoyed my evening, but the experience at the entrance could definitely be improved.“

“I tried the ground beef and chicken taco and they were delicious! My favorite part is that they didn’t make me feel bloated. They were light yet filling.
The fries were perfectly salted. The lady who took my order was super nice, great customer service.
Definitely recommend!“

“I order the Pollo Asado and my wife gets the shrimp burrito. I don't say this lightly ... I love the burritos here and the potato taquitos . Honestly one of my favorite burritos. I know I know, but seriously I can't think of a place better. Everything is so fresh and flavorful. It's a hit or miss with employees. Some days you'll get someone friendly other days not so much.“

“Staying in a hotel near LAX before a flight and needed some laundry doing. I seen this place just over the road and thought I’d try it and was not disappointed, the tacos were delicious and the lady working there was lovely. I highly recommend this place it’s awesome!“

“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.“

“me encantaron las hamburguesas!“
