    These are the best tacos that I've tasted so far. The seasoning on the meats are right on!Plenty of condiments to compliment your tacos.

    This taco stand that pops up only on the weekends is located on a small side street in Cudahy. They…read morespecialize in one thing only - roasted pig tacos. I've been wanting to go this spot for a while, and I finally got my chance when I was driving through the area. When I walked out to the stand, I was graded by some very friendly people and ordered a couple of tacos. One with the roasted pork meat and one pork belly. I wanted the tacos how they are meant to be served (no mods) and that is topped with minced cabbage and two mustard-based salsas. They also put a piece of crispy pork skin on the plate before handing it over. These tacos are so delicious and unique to other styles of tacos we have in LA. Because of the preparation, they eat a little cleaner and lighter than say Carnitas (I'm a big fan of both styles). The mustard salsa gives it a nice kick and zesty flavor. The pork skin, for me at least, is reminiscent to some really crispy lechon I recently had at a Filipino friend's house. Heck, the way the pork is served here is not unlike luaus or big Vietnamese special occasion celebrations I experienced growing up where a whole pig would be ordered. The mustard based salsa also reminds me of South Carolina style barbecue with their Carolina Gold barbecue sauce. Make no mistake, these tacos are very Mexican. Specifically in the style of Acaponeta, Nayarit (as stated on their sign - I'm not going to pretend I'm an expert). Parking was easy because I turned into a lot where it seems like it was an industrial business park. This place is kind of unique because when you turn onto the street it feels like you are approaching a street fair or small scale farmers market. If you wanted to, you could have a full on taco or food crawl along the street alone

    Saw this place on Instagram, so I decided to come down and try it out. I was curious about the…read moremustard based salsa/sauce. I pulled up and ordered my tacos. The owner? and chef were there manning the grill. They were incredibly friendly and very personable. I chatted with them the whole time they were getting my tacos ready. They let me know they had pork meat, and pork belly, and that they could do a mix. I went with 5 mixed tacos, 1 with "spicy" mustard salsa, and 4 with normal mustard salsa. How were they? Bomb! The mustard sauce was so unique. I've only had one other pork product with mustard based sauce (Payne's BBQ in Memphis, TN, my favorite BBQ sandwich in the WORLD) and its pretty rare to see. The tacos were fantastic! The pork was part chewy, part crispy, part gelatinous in some bites. All of it tasty! They also give you a hunk of crispy pork skin on top of the tacos, too. Really enjoyed my tacos! The spicy mustard sauce wasn't even that spicy. Both versions were delicious though and you can't go wrong with either one. Glad I stopped by and got to sample these great tacos. I will be back in the future!

    I delayed writing this review to really think through, and now I will confidently say--these are…read moreeasily the best tacos I've ever had. Having been to so many taco stands, I think what makes Tire Shop Taqueria really stand out are the right-off-the-grill charcoal-grilled meats, the freshly made tortillas literally in front of you as you are waiting on line, and the free guacamole that comes with each taco. The ordering process is like any other taco stand, though one difference is here the salsas/guacamole are all handled by the staff. If you'd like more of something, just ask them instead of reaching for the ladle yourself. There is a separate area though for grilled onions/peppers and radishes you can serve yourself. I got the asada, chorizo, cabeza, and al pastor, and they were all so good. The asada and chorizo are specifically grilled over charcoal, and that flavor really shines through. I loved how meaty and tender the cabeza was too, and the classic al pastor hit the spot. They have large communal tables setup, so it is a great friendly vibe to enjoy your meal I will say, the surrounding area is not the best in LA, especially given how the taco stand is only open at night. The parking lot is quite small, so I parked on a side street that had some abandoned cars, but of course, if you are in/from LA, this is not that new for us. I would hesitate if I am a tourist though to make it out here. Anyhow, the food really is worth it here, and I can't wait to be back!

    My friend said, this place had bomb tacos and tacos are my favorite especially when coming to LA,…read morehowever this place fell short on my expectations. The tostada was very hard and chewy thought I was going to brake a tooth. Asada meat and guacamole on the tostada had no salt. The only thing I was able to taste was the spicy salsa, which it's extremely spicy. My chorizo taco cold and the mulita was okay. Tortillas hand made which that's a plus Agua fresca de pineapple tasted water down too much just tasted the water with hint of pineapple. If you new to this place just know that you can ask for frijoles de la olla on the side they are free. I did like that they had grill onions and it's self serve. Street parking available, but know area not the best to be in. Tables have about 3 incase you planning eat there, & if super hungry know you will be waiting for a long time. It's really cool know it's a tire shop during the day and a taco shop in evenings. This place is very laid back attired unfortunately no music playing.
