    Cemita poblano tayuda. Not sure what that means.. steak?
    Steven C.

    Taco truck/10. Worker doesn't speak much English so bring your spanish speaking game. I've tried the carnitas tacos and the cemita poblano tayuda. Both were pretty good. $5-6 will get u pretty full here.

    4 tacos for $4.50. Can't beat it! I tried the al pastor, asada, and lengue. The asada was the clear winner, though they were all tasty!

    4 great tacos

    My friends have taken me here and every time it hits the spot. It's located in a parking lot and…read moremost of the time there is some parking available. It is a 24 hour spot so anytime I'm enjoying a night out I need a quick snack or a meal, I stop by here. Their lines go pretty quickly if you're visiting during meal times, but they have their whole set up to be as efficient as possible. When ordering, you'll go up and order your items I always get tacos, but I've heard the other items are delicious as well. You get one free potato per person and I highly recommend grabbing one. Once you grab your potato, you'll head over to the cashier while you'll pay for your items. If you want any drinks, you can order it as well. Once you're finished paying, they have a salsa bar with onions and cilantro and limes. My usual is their Al pastor tacos! It's a tried and true method for me. Note that there isn't any seating, most people stand up and eat or head back to their car and eat on their trunks or inside their car. There's trash cans all around and I believe there are some porta potties. It's a great spot to hit up if you're hungry and need some tacos in your life. Make sure you clean up after yourself. This is a great spot!

    This place was FABULOUS! After having some pretty bland Mexican food the day before, I appreciated…read morethis magical place even more because these were some of the best street tacos I've ever had! The tacos were so flavorful and every bite was better than the last. It really reminded me how good Mexican food can be when it's done right. Highly recommend the brisket and the classic carne asada. Overall Avenue 26 Tacos is definitely a must try place if you're craving some delicious street tacos. I'll definitely be coming back!

    *** Cash or Zelle only ***…read more Alejandra's Quesadilla is a food cart located in Echo Park (more specifically right next to LADOT Lot 643 - 1147 Echo Park Ave). The food cart specializes in blue corn quesadillas. The food cart has been around for 20 years and is now run by Alejandra's daughter. [Parking]: Metered street parking is available or just park at LADOT Lot 643. [Atmosphere]: Takeout only and our party ended up eating the quesadilla in my car. [Ordering]: One of the ladies took my order and another lady did the grilling. Once the quesadillas are ready, customers can add various condiments like cactus, mild salsa, red salsa, and cilantro. The cart is quite popular and our party had to wait approximately 15 minutes on Sunday at 6:15 PM. All quesadillas are cooked to order and the lady manually pressed every blue corn tortilla by hand. [Menu]: The cart offers chicken, pork, chorizo, squash blossoms (flor de calabaza), chicharrón, potato, and huitlacoche (corn smut, or the "Mexican truffle"). Customers can mix and match fillings like chorizo and potato. *** Squash Blossom Quesadilla ($8): The order came with an extra piece of skirt steak. This quesadilla tasted much better than I had expected and it was actually quite delicious. I was a big fan of the mild green salsa and it definitely enhanced the overall flavor. *** It was an unexpected street food find and I can actually see myself revisiting this food cart and try different quesadilla options whenever I am in the Echo Park area.

    I'm obsessed! I've been craving huitlacoche like crazy and the way that Alejandra prepares it is…read morechef's kiss. It's perfect. Every topping I've ever gotten from her has been 100/10! I also love the mushrooms and the squash blossoms as well. Also the red salsa is spicy AF, which is perfect for me. I can't get enough. She's also one of THE sweetest people I have ever met! Stellar vibes~ If you find yourself in Echo Park/Silverlake and are looking for something to satiate your hunger (from Friday to Monday), hit up Alejandra. You can even check her ig for updates as well. @alejandrasquesadillas

    KTown Night Market is the first night market I have been to in a while, and It did NOT disappoint…read more And after reading the older Yelp reviews for this event (done pre-pandemic), I thought it time to update! Located at RFK High School in Koreatown LA, this location was central and provided lots of space for food stands, food trucks, games, merch stands, drink stands, music stage, you name it. They even had a (huge) sneaker expo stand! I did not see any performers on the music stage, but they posted some content online and it looks like they killed it! Minzy from 2NE1 headlined the first night. I did not have a chance to see everything as I was with a group of people (takes longer to do virtually everything), but there was so much to see! The food I did try: Xing Fu Tang strawberry boba, yakitori yado mochi chicken skewer, kimchi rice ball, pork belly rice ball, thai basil chicken. Everything was good. It was busy! Get there early as by 7:30pm or so it was wall to wall people (some wearing masks, some not as they were recommended only). Had a great time - they have rebooted this event so well!

    Good night market event. Best part is the performing stage. Like a mini concert. Closer to closing…read moretime, the bigger the artist. They have lots of food vendors, not all the same as the typical 626 night market vendors tho. Venue is placed inside a highschool. The vendors are on race track, basketball courts, and good ol' lawn. This year (first opening after pandemic) they have less vendors than before. But place is jammed packed the later it gets. They have big seating area and nice spots in corners for you to sit on the floor tho. Ticket is $10 (plus service fee if you buy online). Parking structure is $18. You will have to walk, since it's in the middle of city.
