50 Best Taco Restaurants near Walnut Park

“The best tacos in California!“

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

“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“

“Delicious …. Great food truck authenticity“

“Just perfect food. Marinated and seasoned to perfection , the steak quesadilla rocked my socks. If it were socially acceptable I would bathe in their toum , but instead I’ll just put it in everything. The shrimp taco is better than even guisados. And the papas - stellar. The hype is real. Tried nearly everything and everything is so well thought out and just so flavorful. An absolute must. Rivals even the most authentic taco spots in Los Angeles. Lunch, Dinner, heck even breakfast. EAT HERE.“

“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“

“Delicious tacos had the chicken & pork & hot dog.“

“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“

“Hidden semi hole in the wall taco spot. Located in a large plaza with plenty of free self parking. The restaurant is clean and the staff is friendly. You can see them preparing all the ingredients as well as tacos cuesadillas, and burritos. There are a few indoor tables and seating. There's also a small salsa bar.
The menu is limited and straight forward. Basically choose the type of meat you prefer.
This is not fast food. It takes time to prepare fresh food made to order.
Tried the shrimp vampiros. It's kind of like a tostada so best to eat that first since the shell will fall apart if you eat your tacos or burritos first. It's very yummy!
Also tried the chicken taco. It was ok...nothing special about it.

Definitely get the free onion and jalapeno.

The salsa bar has your
typical tomatoes, onions, limes, etc. but it would've been nice if they had cilantro
There's also two containers with free beans so make sure to grab some.

Prices are a bit high for the tacos at $3.25. The vampiro is priced right at $4.15
Portions are a bit small but they make up for it with the free beans and salsa bar.

If you're in the area, it's worth a try. There are better Taco spots elsewhere, imo.“

“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“

“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!“

“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“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“this place are amazing the og burritos was so delicioso service was great thanks to JC this guy are A_Plus good customer services“

“Happy“

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

“I never order carne asada at Taco spots but since there is only asada, pastor and chicken here it tried it. Iy was delicious... tasted like top tier carne. I'm not a huge fan of tortillas de harina but that definitely didn't matter because the beef was so tasty. The only thing I would make better are the salsas. Either way I'll be back soon to try the nachos.“

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

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

“Their flour tortillas are made fresh on the spot and have a soft chewiness you rarely find in LA. I tried the carne asada burrito and was blown away by the grilled meat and spicy salsas. The outdoor setup is casual—just picnic tables and an awning—but it gets crowded fast. Staff is fast and friendly. It’s hard to go anywhere else once you’ve had their tortillas“

“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 LOVE this place! It takes me right back to my childhood! I stop by a couple of times a week... they are that good! The flavors are spot on! Janene, Andrea, and Gigi are so welcoming! If you're in the neighborhood, check them out. You won't be disappointed!“

“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.“

“los tacos de cabeza son los mejores que he probado.Las salsas son muy ricas. El agua de jamaica deliciosa!!!!!“

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

“Called in our order and it was ready in under 15 minutes. The tortillas and machaca burrito are amazing! This may be the first time I've had a burrito and not wanted to put salsa on it. They had great pickles in the salsa bar.

Wasn't as big of a fan of the chilequiles (soggy) and aguas. I'll be back to check out the specials they run midweek. Service was fast and friendly.“

“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.“

“very good food very good and friendly staff always nice warm n welcoming with a smile on their face 😁“

“some of the best tacos in town 😋🤍“

“Delicious chilaquiles. The Queca (quesadilla) was also phenomenal. Everything tastes homemade (which it is if you peer into kitchen when you go use restroom). To top it all off you can go to their bakery and grab something sweet. The 3 flavor concha was the best I’ve had.“

“So I live in Compton, only a few blocks from the birra spot. I'll be honest, I did not like birria de chivo but I came here for Father's Day because my dad who lives in L.A. wanted to try it. Long story short I had no clue what to order. Gentleman at the window was soo helpful and patient in helping me, the señoras are cooking in the truck so we knew it was going to be good. Anyway my dad loved it, and I tried it and I really enjoyed it. Just be careful with parking the lot they are by was full and and I parked on a side street and I totally missed the sign and got a big fat ticket. ??“

“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!“
