“My favorite taco truck when I lived in Maywood! I Still come around to enjoy some Tacos from time to time. The pastor is delicious and the quesadilla have beans inside! You can ask them to not add beans. The asada is well cooked and not as fatty as other places. They offer grilled onions with a grilled jalapeño. Self serve sauces/habanero pickled red onion/radish. Friendly and quick service. Recommend if in the area. Gets pretty packed in the night. Parking sometimes could be hard find inside the lot they are located in and you cannot park in the lot next to it. Eat in/on your car or take home.

Parking: Small Lot. Max Capacity 12 cars if people know/learn how to communicate“

“Aguachile is my favorite😋😀👌Cash only!“

“This morning, I scored tacos at Smorgasburg L.A. from a brand new vendor, Los Cochinitos. Their superb "Carnitas Mixta Taco" (98/100) belongs in the discussion of Los Angeles' top carnitas tacos. Can't wait to have it again next Sunday!“

“Villa's Tacos were amazing! and I'm not saying this just because of the hype of the Super Bowl. I'm saying this because I mean it. The tacos were just amazing to me. Not your regular everywhere tacos. These tacos were homemade recipes. I had the carne asada, pork with potato (puerco con papa) & beans with cactus (frijoles con nopal). It's a week later that I tried these tacos and I can't stop talking about them. My favorite was the beans with cactus. Soooo good. Also, the atmosphere was just so nice and lively. I truly enjoyed every minute of my visit here. Thank you Villa's Tacos, we will return.“

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

“Incredible burritos and quesadillas !! I love how consistent this spot is, it never misses. Super high quality protein and generous portions. The steak is my favorite but honestly can't go wrong. Don't forget to add the toum arbol sauce on the side it's unbelievable :)“

“What's better late night snack than Ave 26 tacos? It's located in a parking lot, and we pulled in around 10pm on a Sunday night. People from all colors and all walks of life seem to converge here in search of scrumptious bites. There's a security guard that patrols the area so you could enjoy your chow without hesitation. It's standing room only, no utensils or sitting area provided. We decided to eat in the car as it's a bit chilly that night. There's also a portable water station to wash hands before or after you dig in.

There's a separate line for tacos or burritos or drinks, pay in cash or Apple/ Samsung Pay. Simple and orderly. Then, head over to the condiments section for different types of salsa, chopped onions or lime. The Al Pastor, Carne Asada, Cabeza and Lengua are usually my go to, but there're also brisket, pork belly, chorizo to choose from.“

“My boyfriend and I came here yesterday for the first time to celebrate our anniversary. The food was incredible, the staff were lovely, and the music and atmosphere was great! We absolutely loved the food- we got birria ramen, kpasa fries, and a birria quesadilla. OMG soooo delicious, we were both so happy. We loved it here and will definitely be coming back again! <3“

“One of the best taco spots in town.
Great food , the carnitas are just perfect.
And the quesadilla have plenty of cheese and meat!
The burritos look big enough to feed three people
The staff are friendly and helpful.
Seems like a family run spot which is great to see.
They have tables and seats to eat there, but is also great if you need to grab something quickly.
Unbeatable prices!
Will definitely be back multiple times!“

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

“I had suuuuch high hopes for this place. Don't get me wrong, the tacos were very tasty, just soooo greasy!! My asada taco grease got all over. I mean, it didn't stop me from eating most of my food 😬🤣.... but the grease floating on my plate was a lil bit of a disappointment. 😩 Hubby's tacos were REALLY GOOD, no grease so maybe it was a bad asada night. I'LL BE BACK though.... to giver her another try.“

“Delicious …. Great food truck authenticity“

“I'm not going to Tijuana for just some tacos only if I go out to las pulgas!best club in Tijuana“

“Local Taqueria worth the stop.“

“Me gusta la comida pero no tienen q perder el cuidado en la presentación de los platos y asegurarse q lleven todo eso es muy importante aun tengan mucha junte haser los platos con la misma cuidado de ciempre“

“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!“

“I'll be honest the atmosphere is not good yet if you wish to taste an authentic Mexican dish ex taco, burrito etc with hand made tortillas and great quality of meats and vegetables this is the place to go. And moreover the prices are cheap. I'm definitely coming back.!😁“

“las gringas espevialidad de la casa“

“Every time you walk into this restaurant, the vibe is absolutely amazing. The atmosphere is always fresh and full of energy thanks to the music one visit might be old school hip-hop and R&B, the next you’ll hear country, Banda, or even modern pop and house. It keeps things exciting and makes every experience feel unique.
But the real star here? The specialty tacos. Hands down, some of the best in Southern California. They’re packed with flavor, made with care, and honestly set a new standard for what tacos should taste like. The quality is consistent, and no matter what you order, you’re going to be impressed.
On top of that, the pricing is unbeatable for SoCal. You get top-tier food and an atmosphere that makes you want to keep coming back without breaking the bank. It’s rare to find a place that nails both the food and the vibe, but this restaurant does it effortlessly.
If you’re looking for a spot that combines amazing food, unbeatable tacos, and an always-fun atmosphere, this is it.“

“This was our first time at Tacos Villa Corona and it was great. It is a small place and most get take away. That is what we did. The place inside is clean and just cute. I love the way they have art on the menu on their wall. It is family owned and a lot of the recipes are from the owners mom. She loved to cook.

We had the best breakfast burrito. It is called Papa Steak and we also had the best chicken quesadilla. Their chips are great and we had rice on the side. We got it all to go and ate in the car and listened to music. We had a great time.

This is a real gem that we had not heard of before and boy it does not disappoint. Beware the salsa, it is great, but what we had was way too hot for me.

Their hours are odd, so call to make sure they are open. They run out of food.

You will love this place. We do.“

“My family is from Tijuana and I frequent often. This is as authentic as it gets. Best corn tortillas around by far. Best carne asada around. I would put this up there with some of the best tacos in LA. It holds its own. Make sure you get a carne asada queso taco with everything when you’re here.“

“Hands down, the best taco truck in Pasadena! Established in 1979, Los California Tacos has perfected the art of tacos with their flavorful, fresh, and non-greasy offerings. The service is friendly and fast, making it a go-to spot for taco enthusiasts. Their al pastor and chicken tacos are particularly popular among regulars. Don't miss out on this local favorite!“

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

“Avocado Fresh Mexican Grill was a great find. I ordered one of their bowls, and it was fresh, flavorful, and packed with hearty portions—exactly what you want from a build-your-own Mexican bowl. Everything tasted vibrant, and the ingredients were clearly high quality.

The staff was also incredibly friendly and helpful, making the experience even better. Overall, a delicious meal and great service. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Tire Shop Taqueria is a great place to enjoy flavorful food in a fun and relaxed setting. The restaurant has a cool, casual feel, and it really does feel like a neighborhood spot where people come to enjoy good food without any stress. From the moment you walk up, the smell of grilled meat lets you know you are in for something special.

One of the best items on the menu is the carne asada tacos. The meat is very tender and juicy, and it has a rich, smoky flavor that tastes amazing in every bite. The carne asada is cooked just right and pairs perfectly with the warm tortillas and fresh toppings. These tacos are simple but incredibly delicious.

The grilled al pastor tacos are also a must-try. They are well-seasoned and full of bold flavor without being too heavy. You can really taste the spices, and the grilled edges add a nice texture that makes them even better. Each taco feels carefully made and very satisfying.

The cheesy gringas cooked on the griddle are another highlight. They are crispy on the outside, warm and melty on the inside, and packed with flavor. The cheese stretches with every bite, making them comforting and hard to resist. They are perfect if you want something rich and filling.

The campechanas are very tasty and bring together different meats in one delicious dish. The flavors blend well, creating a hearty and satisfying option. Overall, Tire Shop Taqueria offers amazing food, friendly service, and a relaxed vibe that makes every visit enjoyable and memorable.“

“Ricooooo! Y limpio y la salsa picosa“

“My Pastor and Asada tacos and my Vampiro, they were serve with the grilled green onion and a roasted serrano pepper. The salsas were also very tasty

The flavor and the quantity of meat was great and delicious.

I would come here anytime I'm in Lynwood.

This family owned spot make this a great family food stop.

Enjoy!“

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

“This was by far one of the best spots in the market. The Carnitas are killer and the portion sizes are huge. Don’t be scared away by the prices because they more than make up for it in the portion sizes. Definitely a must stop while you are at the market and looking for some good grub!“

“This place was highly recommended. I had their carne asada burrito 🌯. It was a generous portion of fresh meat, rice & beans. The red salsa made it tastier. I had to save half for later as it was filling. Will definitely return!“

“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“

“You can never go wrong bringing a friend from out of town here at Upper West, joining family members to celebrate or just coming over to have a really tasty and good quality healthy meal! The owners greet guests, servers are attentive and the food is amazing! We come here often and love the appetizers from the chopped salad, to the crunchy rice tuna and cauliflower, to their main staples steak tacos, their seabass and short ribs! Do not forget the pudding for dessert! Wine selection is also great!“

“the food looks and tastes authentic. They have a hand-made tortilla option. I recommend "una de surtido a mano" trust fam“

“Came across this place after looking for another spot and I have to say I was NOT disappointed! I had the pastor, buche, lengua, and cabeza tacos and it was absolutely delicious! Usually when I have buche, lengua and cabeza it always tastes gamy but I don’t like to avoid trying new ones and I’m so glad I didn’t avoid it from here!! I had 7 tacos for $17! Really good for the amount you get!

Parking: Street parking or park in a lot or gas station nearby“

“Amazing hospitality, great service and even better food. Cheers to this family run business working passionately to maintain standards and quality of food. If you haven’t been here at least once, you are missing out. Stop by, say hello to the owner and his daughter Jasmine.“

“I went yesterday for the first time with my kids.
My parents invited me, since they said they had been there before and know i love tacos/tortas/etc.
The kids and i loved it.

Kid-friendliness: They gave my kids lollipops after.“

“highly recommend went to the one in Venice Beach. sooooooo good!!!“

“The best Mexican food in maywood .. great service ..got to try green wet burritos are 🔥“

“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.“

“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!“

“Happy“

“Delicious and reasonably priced. We got a large burrito with chicken, a large quesadilla with pastor meat and a large strawberry lemonade. Excellent. Our cost was 29 dollars including tax. They have complementary chips and a fixing bar for salsas and toppings.“

“Muy buenos los tacos, hoy dogs, militas, burritos. Todo muy bueno“

“fire tacos & other dishes amazing !!! 👏 🤩 😋 🙌 🔥“

“It's hard for me to find a really good Mexican restaurant, and this place hits the spot. I had the sope, and you can taste the handmade fresh maiz. I can't remember when I last had a fresh sope like that. Try it for yourself.
Next time i will be trying the quesadilla, its made with handmade tortillas as well.“

“I'm here at an amazing spot on hillhurst in Los Feliz across from Albertsons... A staple for Mexican foods for sure 💯 I had the carne asada burrito and it's just so bomb.. the burrito was HUGE. like ol' school huge 👌 probably the most authentic Ive had in 15+ years ❤️❤️❤️❤️ ... You need to come here like now! ...Also... A drink was included. 👌 Kudos El Ruso 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 ill totally be back for sure. 🧑‍🍳👩‍🍳👨‍🍳 🤗 ....aaaand I just had their tacos 👌 holeee shit. 🖖👌👌👌🙏❤️💯✂️ Get the tacos ❤️“

“Taco Boy is definitely a hole in the wall mexican joint. Breakfast here is definitely the best in the area especially for the price. Its a walk up to the counter and order type restaurant. No wait staff just a cashier and the chefs who are always on top of their game. My fave plate is the chilaquiles rojos. The chips and salsa alone are great. That's how you know the food is good.
It can sometimes take about 20/25 minutes for your order to be ready due to the early morning rush. Finding a table isn't too bad but again they have a loyal fan base of early bird breakfast customers who will wait in line to order. Give it a try it's definitely worth a try. Friendly on the wallet too!“

“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.“
