50 Best Taco Restaurants near Walnut Park

“My companion and I stumbled across this oasis at our darkest hour. When I say that it revived me body and soul, know that I am not being the least bit hyperbolic. This place is a national treasure, and the only reason for American dominance in the world order. Great burrito“

“Came solely for the Al Pastor tacos and they were chef's kiss! CASH ONLY. Located in the parking lot by the gas station. A few parking spots available. No restrooms available (even in the gast station) You order your tacos at a smaller stand and then stand in another line to the food truck window to get your salsas and toppings (which are all pre-packaged) A couple of standing tables next to the taco truck for eating as well. The al pastor was juice yet tender, I always love the sweet pineapple component and then the avocado salsa was very good. The green salsa had a good kick and the red salsa had a slight smokiness to it. I dress my taco up with all the fixings so I liked the raw onions and pickles onions they offer too. Will be back!“

“Figured I would write a review after eating here multiple times a week for a couple years. These are the best tacos in Los Angeles. Always high quality and always delicious. The staff is always excellent and everything is always positive. Wishing them all nothing but the best!“

“Yummy tacos! We had the lomo saltado, carnitas and fish tacos and all were Good! We also had the potato and cheese taquitos and the cara cara Olive oil cake. The Olive oil cake was warm and moist on the inside and was crunchy and crisp on the outside. Went well with the orange sherbet that came with it!“

“Best fish tacos on the east side. Could eat them once a week. Made to order from a taco truck so sometimes you have to wait a bit. Wish they were there later but great for an early dinner or lunch. My favorite is the recommended shrimp and cheese one and soft shell crab“

“The food is great but be aware that it is a bit on the over priced side. Service is ok, needs some improvement as the cashier taking our order was somewhat confused about the menu or she could have been new. Over all the ambience is great, it gets busy at times and seating is limited. I definitely recommend it though.“

“Great Birria Ramen. Loved that I could order it online and it was ready for me by the time I showed up. It was easy to find parking, and I loved having the option to sit there too. Did I mention that the Birria Ramen was great. Totally will go back“

“Just stumbled onto this place, what a Mexican taco place should be. A simple hole in the wall with some phenomenal excellent food. Coming from a Mexican I will tell you that this is good authentic Mexican food. Their tacos are Stupendous‼️ Best place for Mexican food on Melrose.“

“Worth the drive all the way from Vegas. We found out this place from youtube and social medias.Decided to have a food day trip from Vegas and this was one of the stops.These pork tacos are Fire!! Very well worthy.The only downside is just hard or impossible to find street parking. But they said its allowed for double park.Will we come back? Heck yeah we will!!“

“Authentic street style tacos in an authentic atmosphere, tried more than one of each meat and everything hits the spot. The Horchata was fantastic and refreshing after a good meal.Would try a burrito or quesadilla from here on my next visit!“

“I ate here for the first time today I had a burrito and my friend had a quesadilla. The food was delicious it had that real authentic Mexican taste &’ and you get a good portion for the price you pay they have good salsas overall everything was amazing. Their customer service was astonishing they made me feel at home super friendly staff they go above and beyond for their customers I will recommend this place to people from now on I can’t wait to come back :) such a hidden gem in LA best of all it’s Latinx-owned!“

“As a devoted food lover, Dirt Dog- Gardena, is a Southern California experience worth savoring.From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by a striking large wall mural of the Legends of West Coast Hip Hop, adding to the laid-back vibe that California is known for.The menu boasts a tantalizing array of options, from bacon wrapped hot dogs to birria tacos to fried Oreos! But when in doubt, you simply can't go wrong with a classic dirty dog and a side of filthy fries. Each bite is a flavor explosion that leaves you craving more.Refreshing beer on tap perfectly complements the bold flavors of the food and adds an extra layer of enjoyment to the dining experience.Overall, Dirt Dog in Gardena is a must-visit destination for any food lover in Los Angeles. With its inviting atmosphere, delicious food, and refreshing drinks, it's the perfect spot to indulge in a taste of the West Coast.I HIGHLY RECOMMEND“

“Family owned and operated truck located in Boyle Heights / East LA area that specializes in tacos arabes and goodies from Puebla in general. The tacos arabes were a result of Lebanese immigrants to the area and boy are they delicious. I came here later on a Thursday night so it wasn't very busy and it was pretty chill. Just a few other people around me. The folks here were friendly and helpful. I ordered:A taco arabe especiale- their signature taco with their marinated roast pork on this soft flower tortilla. This was topped Oaxacan cheese and slices of avocado (especiale). There was this chipotle sauce on top of everything. The sauce added some smokiness to an already great flavor and texture profile. I really liked that flour tortilla. Quesadilla de flor de calabaza - zucchini blossoms with melted Oaxacan cheese inside a blue corn tortilla. Love corn and I love this. Nice and chewy with earthy and slightly sweet flavors to go along with their delicious salsaDefinitely recommend for tacos/ quesadillas etc etc or if you are just in the mood for something a little different.“

“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.“

“I came to La for the weekend and was looking for a taco spot to eat. The family and I tried taco guelaguetza and it was delicious and the workers were nice. I bought 22 tacos and 3 large horchatas and 3 medium horchatas for under $60 and they don't charge extra for special meats like cabeza or Lengua like the sf Bay Area. I was very happy and we will definitely be back every time going to La“

“I love coming here! The shrimp tacos are so good! ? if you don't like to eat sea food, the asada torta is a great choice. It's always packed, but the line moves quickly, and they bring food out pretty fast.Parking: They have limited parking but I always find parking. They have staff that help you find parking so it's great!“

“Best Carnitas, awesome customer service, very attentive, and very quick. We love coming here to enjoy with our family,Highly Recommend Carnitas El Momo in Monterrey Park!Parking: Plenty of parkingKid-friendliness: Definitely a kid friendly placeWheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“So delicious!! Great value, really affordable, lots of toppings :))) 10/10!! Really going to miss la tacos!All the options are super fresh and full of flavor! The mango salsa and sauces are fantastic. Made our night!Ps: they have a seating area“

“4+ Considered one of the best by many or at least one of the most popular taco spots in Los Angeles. They have a good variety of items and meats, but I would say they are most known for their al pastor (marinated, spit-roasted pork that is usually served with a slice/ chunk of pineapple). The service here is pretty efficient since they have to be - there's almost always a line. The vibe: depending on the time of day or night you come, it's usually a mixed group of people wanting to try this spot, people eating after a drinking session, or just people looking for decently priced tacos. One of the times I was here, I was standing behind Dante Basco (Rufio!), haha. Usually a fun vibe for sure. My usual here is two tacos (typically the al pastor) and a mulita. It used to be that there was a toppings and salsa bar where you would dress up your food. Not sure if it's because of the pandemic or people taking advantage and taking too much stuff home, you now have to go to a separate window to ask for the toppings and salsa and they're individually packaged. I definitely think this place is worth going for the al pastor. I myself have been here multiple times. Parking can be tough, but if you are going during the week there's usually parking along the street facing south on LA Brea right around the corner. Just be careful though as it is a relatively high traffic area and some people seem to drive recklessly in this area.“

“Quick and fast taco stands. Now they support the credit card payment. Eric is welcoming and serves the neighborhood very well until the midnight. The protein of stewed pork and the al pastor is nice while I hope they could use corn tortillas instead of the flour ones.“

“Went to this place with my husband three days ago barely got free to post this review. The food was great very authentic and the service was great as well. We will definitely go back even signed up for the rewards program in case we wanna order takeout.“

“If you’re ever in the Southbay in LA do yourself a favor and source this seafood gem. It’s ALWAYS busy and I don’t like waiting in line but I will here. The benefit of seafood being fresh is because they sell enough that it’s always excellent. There providers must love the account and take good care of them.Okay, ceviche is a must do with tostada chips, avocado and a slew of hot sauces and a self serve salsa station that also offers marinated white onion ribbons and wonderful whole roasted yellow chiles dusted with a red tangy red spice.Tacos come with a variety of seafood options, I suggest the battered fish as a beginning test since you will come back for them anytime you go again, just trust this.Prices are reasonable and the staff are very happy, why not, everyone eating there are friggin happy too. Parking can be a buzzkill but you’ll figure it out.“

“Location a bit unusual, but I am not from the area, so maybe it is not. The service was fine. The prices were good. Our foreign exchange student had pollo and asada, which he enjoyed, but said the steak was the better of the two. My partner had the vampiro, which she loved. Finally, I had the quesataco with chivo. It had just the right amount of juice and gaminess. The offer a wide variety of tasty salsas and drinks. With the countless options in the LA area, I would have to be near it or have a goat craving to eat here again.“

“Found this little eatery which served Mexican food. Looked like a family run business. Their tacos were so good and tasty. Burritos too hot and fresh!! Nice little place to eat and hang out. Just by the street. I wanted the sour cream and Chipotle sauce off my taco. The lady happily obliged to the request. Definitely recommend them.“

“The staff was super friendly and quick! The salsas were on point, fresh and delicious! Can't say enough about the flavors of the tacos. Literally the best street tacos I have had in a very long time! Lucky for me I was staying in a hotel right across the street from them, lol!“

“Hands down, the best, best birria tacos I've ever had!!I've been eyeing this taco truck for the longest time when I was looking for birria tacos. I missed the chance to go from the last time I came by. Many other taco vendors also recommend this truck for goat birria tacos.We got some goat birria quesatacos, labio taco dorados, which were lips, asada vampiro, and of course, gotta get consome. Not many places have goat birria, and most of the time, they tend to be too dry. Those quesatacos were super tender, juicy, cheesy, and packed with tons of spices and flavors. Dipping in the beefy, hardy consome, game over. I've never seen beef lips before, so I gotta give a try. It got the texture of beef tongue, also quite delicious. Like any other taco trucks and vendors, service is always impeccable. Everyone is very friendly and supportive to other vendors. I said it once, and I'm gonna say it again. The best birria tacos!!!“

“This was my first time eating here, and I wasn't sure what to order. They let me sample the chicken and the beef birria. It was very good. The meat is tender and they have great prices. When your in town, stop here, you will be happy that you did.Vegetarian options: Beans, rice and they serve ramen. You can customize and leave the meat out if you want. Taco, burrito, and quesadilla You can put avocado beans and rice and cheese.“

“My friend came from Tijuana to visit me ??‍♂️ and we found this amazing place?? NEW LOCATION, the food is amazing, VEGETERIAN NO PROBLEM i was really happy with the food, service is very friendly and they speak spanish tooI highly recomend this place?IOVE IT“

“This is my first time coming back this tacos stand in over 7 years and this place did not disappoint at all, the tortillas are handmade store is delicious I like that they have a limited amount of meats meaning that whatever you get, will be delicious. People working they provide friendly and fast service. Location is as it should be for street tacos, it's just adds more to the ambience and experience of street tacos 10/10.“

“Love stopping by here after a Dodgers game...always get tacos Al Pastor & then finish the night off with dessert from the churro stand next to the troca. So delish. Tonight we got 4 tacos de al pastor, a burrito de al pastor, an agua de horchata, & a bottle of Sidral (apple soda) & spent $31.Parking: Small parking area since it's also a tire shop...but the security makes it work by telling you where to park.“

“Let me say: I LOVE the fact that they make the shells fresh on-the-spot (got that extra corn flavor) and it's pressed right in front of you. Plus you can see them grill everything right there. Pretty self-explanatory: You start at the end of the line where the menu is. You let the lady making the shells know what you want, and she'll start the shells for those items, then you confirm with the next guy cutting up the stuff what kind of meat, so he'll cut it up and throw them on the shells once they're grilled correctly. Any more from the grill is the next guy over, but if you're good, you can skip straight to paying where you can get a drink.Horchata tasted good too!One thing to note: When the guy asked "Que carne?" (What meat?) My cousin said something in the most gringo accent there was. Homeboy's face got contorted as he tried to guess what she meant. Yo, give her a break, she's from Chicago, she's about as white as they come, but she tried. ?“

“Amazing Mexican food. The home made tortillas were so good and the Mexican brown rice was such an awesome brown rice prep. Great service, nice people.We missed a couple items on our takeout order and the restaurant promptly refunded us. Really appreciated the help with that one.“

“10/10. You can stop looking - this is the most perfect breakfast burrito. Delicate and fluffy eggs, velvety and flavorful queso. It doesn’t fall apart when you eat it. I went with crispy pork belly this time, but will be back to try more. Easy street parking and nice outdoor patio to enjoy or wait.“

“Honestly my favorite Mexican food spot. I've tried so many things here and none have disappointed. The fried quesadilla , gorditas, tacos de papa, Tinga, are a few of the many things I've had and all of them are a 10/10. I also Love the señoras that help take the order , they are the nicest sweetest ladies.“

“I cater for and event at home carnitas combo and wow ? there where exelen. since the moment I call it there where so helpful there way I payed the invoice was easy and secure. The people working at the restaurant had a positive attitude when I pull up to pick up my order and helpful explaining my order. All my guest where asking who made the carnitas stilo michoacan so I pass on the information of the restaurant. I will recommend this place ?“

“I can't believe how good the quesadilla was this chicken quesadilla was so good. It should've been smoked in a pipe. It was so good. I have to tell you I followed it up with some iced coffee but sitting outdoor and the ambience was just perfect. I had a problem with my lower back, but my server was very accommodating. They've even updated their app Where you can get rewards but this place you have to check out the place that has breakfast that goes. Absolutely most amazing so I'm gonna give prompts. Love the interior a great style but that chicken quesadilla... Oh my God Yum Yum Yum.!“

“After running an errand in the area, G's popped up on Yelp and it did not disappoint. Conveniently located in a plaza with plenty of parking, G's was not hard to find. Upon entering, it was plenty busy for 11am on a rainy day (a good sign.) I was pleasantly surprised they offered $1.25 tacos for Taco Tuesday ! In addition, they offer this special on Thursdays and Sundays! I ordered two asada and two al pastor tacos. After ordering, I helped myself to the salsa/condiment bar which had many of the usual suspects (red, green and an avo salsa along with limes.) The tacos came out freshly cooked and were served on heated yellow corn tortillas. The meats were well seasoned and topped with onions, cilantro and red sauce. I've been on a taco crawl all over LA the past few years and these rival some of the best around. While scarfing down my tacos, I was looking over the handwritten whiteboard menu and noticed that they offered complimentary consome. How awesome is that?! This along with the fact I skipped dinner the night before prompted me to order two birria tacos which along with the consome totally hit the spot . Safe to say I will be returning again and again!“

“Birria Los Socios is the bomb! I've been looking for good birria (there's nothing really great in South Florida) and figured Socal had to have some. Had some great birria in San Diego but Los Socios blew me away! Definitely need to stop in next time im in LA!!!“

“First time trying this place. The Carne en su jugo was by far my favorite!!!! I feel like the kids menu could contain a few more options, but other than that it was really good! The café de olla was also amazing!!!! Would definitely recommend!!!!“

“During my visits here I have always been greeted/treated with amazing customer service by the girl working the front always very cheerful and helpful! I love this spot! My second time here and I ordered 1lb of the carnitas mix and a menudo. I love carnitas and this spot won my heart it's not easy finding good carnitas so I am happy to say that this is my go to spot. I get the mix which comes with the carnitas, cueritos, and buche packed with so much flavor. Just one bite of these carnitas and it brings a smile to your face! This visit I tried the menudo and it is amazing so much meat and no maíz which I prefer. Leave the Maíz for the pozole lol. While those are the only things I get from there they also have a great variety of options I have yet to try. 10/10 Carnitas estilo Michoacán“

“What a gem! Absolutely delicious. I had an asada burrito with a kale agua. The agua was so refreshing. The burrito was crazy! Everything fresh, perfectly seasoned. Just a perfect burrito. My wife had asada and fish tacos with a kale agua. She said these are the best tacos she's ever had. Really cool spot and the customer service was wonderful. Look forward to coming back soon!“

“First time here after a concert at Sofi. Food truck opened late so we were able to grab late dinner. Great service. Since we were first time customer, they let us try their popular item. Not sure what is called but it's a fried corn tortilla with refried beans and meat. It was amazing! Their salsa is also spicy and delicious. We got birrira tacos, which was good, and the burrito is packed with refries beans and meat. I'm very picky when it comes to beans but these were my favorite. It's gooey and soft and perfectly seasoned. Would come again if I'm ever back in town.“

“This place is my to go place for tacos n Asada nachos I don't go anywhere else around my area they are delicious specially their Salsa so good... Service is great they try n go as fast as they can not much of an ambiance since its a food truck i grab my food n go“

“Daaaaang! This food was delicious! We stopped by after a long hike, purchased the OG Plate which has mostly everything they serve. And devoured it! The consome was awesome as well! Dip everything in it!? Then we washed it down with a refreshing hibiscus drink! Will be back for the burrito!“

“The food is great but make sure to order chips/guac to share because the taco size is all over the place but with chips (theirs are good) you'll end up perfectly full. The whole thing is outside so dress accordingly. Ceviche tostada is standout, as are the churros (they come with 2 little ones to an order).“

“Everything Made Fresh, The carnitas & chicharrones are my fave? Everything is Delicious Y las Micheladas Sheeesh ?? mouth watering Good??, An Those fresh warm frijolitos refritos with them tortillas hechas a mano ?? i can go on With all the Great food they Have Highly “

“Found this place last minute and so glad I did. They accept card/tap pay which saved me. They were super nice and efficient. The food? PHENOMENAL. Will be coming back more often. Fresh made tortillas. The meat was seasoned and delicious. Fire fire fire. ?“

“This is an amazing taco place right in my neighborhood. Their two signature tacos... the steak and chicken... were phenomenal, tasty and a perfect price point. I've also tried the Birria, Al Pastor and the quesadilla. All were great! And the guac was legit. It's in their name, so it has to be good! I tried the house guac, they also have a spicy version which I'll try next time. Oh and the cold brew/horchata was very tasty! I will definitely be back!“

“As a self proclaimed taco connoisseur I’m happy to report these tacos are some of the best I’ve gotten. I got two of the mushroom ones and they were incredible on God I inhaled them. Service was also great all the workers were really funny and nice and the atmosphere was good too the shop is right on the street which makes it great for people watching ??? 10/10 would take the bus for 30 minutes to eat here againVegetarian options: On God bro as a vegetarian I know how hard it is to find good meatless options and this place DID NOT DISAPPOINT the mushroom tacos were ??????“
