    Parking can be tricky! Angel's Tijuana Taco's size is a little bigger than the street taco size. I've only tried Al Pastor with a slice of pineapple. $3.25 each. Al pastor is definitely a little more charred and more salty. It was a little too salty for me to eat more than one They accept cash Venmo and apply pay.

    Came here with some friends after the Katseye concert on my birthday cus I was craving street tacos. I ordered 3 al pastor queso tacos. My friends also ordered the same. I really love how their tortillas are made fresh and ready to order. I also never get tired of seeing a trompo. The tacos were as good as advertised. Definitely will be back the next time I come to LA. Try it out if you like. :)

    One of the best tacos stands in LA. They have amazing keto tacos, especially the pastor one. They've added more options in the last year or so like nachos. The taste hasn't been as great lately but it's still really good. Parking can be a bit tricky since you're not supposed to park right in front anymore since it's a bus lane.

    Villas Tacos at Grand Central Market is such a vibe. Their regular menu already hits every time, but the daily specials make it even better. Tried the blue tortilla pollo nachos and they were super bomb -- packed with flavor and honestly hard to stop eating. The whole atmosphere there makes the experience too, especially with all the outdoor seating and fresh air. Perfect lunch spot to just relax, eat good food, and enjoy the vibes from Downtown LA. Service is phenomenal and the workers are always smiling !

    Good tacos and hand made tortillas super bomb spot !!! I got the potato they load it a lot !! The service is fast and they're all super nice and helpful! It's outdoors no seating and parking can be hard sometimes but worth it!

    Had such a great experience here, and their food was AMAZING! Workers were so happy and friendly making my experience enjoyable, and you can tell their food is authentic. Prices are good as well and size is reasonable, and they were quick as well. I heard their Al Pastor was good so I ordered an Al Pastor burrito with queso, and it hit the spot! I will most definitely be back, another taco stand added to my list!

    Al Pastor Loaded Baked Potato
    Nicole L.

    New fav taco stand alert?!?? My friend brought up a taco spot that had FIRE loaded baked potatoes and knew I immediately had to try Angel's Tijuanas Tacos. We ordered al pastor tacos & an al pastor loaded potato. The true star of the show is the loaded baked potato. This loaded potato was the best thing ever -- EXTREMELY generous amount of al pastor, cheese, potato, and guacamole + green sauce + red sauce + onions and cilantro. The concoction of all the toppings with the cheese and the juicy al pastor... UGH *chefs kiss* I still dream about it. The potato came with mini tortillas and we made mini potato tacos out of it... SOOO fire. We ordered one potato and it filled up 4 people, extremely worth it. I will be back v soon :')

    You can watch them make their tortillas fresh to order! They have big serving sizes and often lots of customers. I really liked the al pastor because of the pineapple chunks. One of the better taco stands in town!

    Pastor, asada, & cabeza tacosssss

    Food always bomb, I was in EastLos & honestly ain't no good tacos spots there so I drove to dodger stadium for this place. Fireeeeee ass tacos, service is always quick too never have to wait too long. Their vibe reminds me of Mexico.

    Excellent cheap tacos! Line moved very fast. Not too bad for a busy Friday night. Nice humans. The Pastor and the asada were great. I always get just the regular tacos con todo. Their guacamole is super tasty and the salsas were superb. The meat was really well flavored and lean. There's a lot of taco options in the area and this is a good choice. They have a decent size seating area as well. The Vampiros look fantastic and the burritos are huge.

    Al Pastor
    James H.

    You can smell the charcoaled meat from down the block. You start off with the fresh hand pressed tortillas and go down the assembly line. At $2.75 a taco it's a steal and the al pastor is so flavorful. The asada was really good too. Loaded up on the protein. The only thing is that you can't get any of the salsas on the side. Cash and card accepted. Street parking only

    Francesca S.

    Hands down, Angel's Tijuana Tacos serves THE BEST tacos in LA. The meat is perfectly charred and super juicy, full of flavor in every bite. Although the line was quite long, it's definitely worth it and won't disappoint. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

    Tiffany R.

    I loved this experience so much! From walking up and standing in line to order, you can tell they put their everything into this business. I loved the work ethic. I loved that they have benches to sit on, and there was a bit of a line, but it honestly went by so fast. Everything was so hot and fresh. I definitely recommend the El Pastor! I loved all the condiments they had too, they really had a variety of what you could add onto your tacos. Definitely a must try if you are in the LA downtown area.

The menu is quite simple, but beware that no prices are listed on the main menu, but they are on the paper menus. They accept Apple Pay/credit cards. I ordered the asada burrito and the pollo caramelo and added the grilled poblano (as recommended on Yelp!). The tortillas were the true stars -- soft, nice chew, with a buttery mouth feel (probably lard). The fillings were just ok. The inside reminded me of a Taco Bell 7 layer burrito -- a lot going on but all the flavors kinda blend together. I (incorrectly) thought the beans were refried, but they are not. Whatever is going on inside, I didn't find much structure. The burrito was the best. The caramelo was a lazily folded burrito. I read that it was like a quesadilla, but I couldn't disagree more. I would skip this next time. I spent $25 and it was a lot of food, but I wasn't impressed, especially given the hype and the fact that LA should really be the pinnacle of Mexican food. Not sure if I'll make a second trip here.

I loved the grilled onions, serranos, hot sauce, and especially the curtido de habanero,so good. The carne asada was okay slightly on the tougher side but the chorizo and al pastor were really solid.

    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!

We found easy street parking in the neighborhood on 41st Street, and waited in line for about 15-20 minutes. We ordered the asada tacos. They pre-sauce your tacos, which was fine by me, but my boyfriend who can't handle as much spice would've preferred it on the side (so warning for anyone similar! they do put a little habanero on them, so just ask them for salsa on the side). I think I ran into a problem of reading too many raving reviews -- these tacos were good but I was expecting them to be mind blowing, so I was a little disappointed. I tasted the charcoal char, but kind of wished the taste was more pronounced, or at least the meat more seasoned. The hand made tortillas were definitely the coolest part, but I thought they were a little dry too. The ladies whipping those out are artists though. Actually, all the workers here have the assembly line down to the tea, and they definitely add a little flare for a show. I particularly liked how they had a lot of seating at this location, instead of just a couple stools lying around like most taco trucks. It felt more like outdoor patio seating than a normal taco stand. They could probably take more time to wipe down tables more often though. Overall would visit again if in the area, but wouldn't go out of my way for the tacos here.

No indoor dining was available since they were closing in 15 mins. Food was ready in less than 10 mins. Salsa is free which both were delicious and had great flavor. Overall the food was delicious!

I like that they were open late to satisfy a late night taco craving. Even though there is typically a line they are quite efficient with orders and even have a parking lot/outdoor dining space in addition to their indoor space so it doesn't feel cramped. It was my first visit so I had to get a mix of their tacos and burritos with the various meats they serve. It was a nice fact to know their tortillas have some lard also so it adds a nice flavor as well. + Burrito 2.0 (asada) + Chivichanga (chicken and beef) + Tacos (chorizo, tripe, cabeza, asada) I enjoyed the burrito with asada and thought it was good portion size for the cost. The guac, cheese, and beans pair well with the meat and has a nice grill on the tortilla. The tacos were a solid size as well but I was surprised to find the tripe as my favorite because they fry it and it adds a nice crunch/texture change. The cabeza was a close second with the stewed flavors. The chivichangas were also tasty but not the traditional chimichanga I was anticipating. It's definitely on the softer side as everything mixes together and there's not much of a texture change. Worth trying if you are curious though. I ordered to go so I didn't see if they have a salsa bar but I did have to pay $.10 per to go container which would be nice if they were free. However, I liked mixing their red and green salsa with each bite. I am curious to try their avocado salsa next time. Overall, I thought the portion sizes were good for the prices and I felt full afterwards.
