Tacos or bomb and service is fast and friendly

Excellent Mexican spot, with delicious tortas and healthy juices. I also love their coffee and tlayudas! Not much more to say, to be honest. This is a no-nonsense type of place, with solid food and pleasant service, for those who appreciate authentic Mexican food beyond tacos. Check it out, you won't be disappointed! read more

Love it always a great smile at the door. When I show up to pick up my food. The food is amazing súper fan of the tortas here.

Go to neighbor taco spot, been coming here for years - always good food and friendly service

Pretty small mom and pop shop with a limited but comprehensive menu. I'm addicted to their Torta de Tinga. Slightly expensive but worth it to support a small independent business. read more

Even in a pandemic El Super Taco manages to dazzle with the variety of salsa in the salsa bar and the taste--especially the avocado salsa and and the roasted salsa roja. Service is great. The tortas are crispy, filled with a variety of fillings, and the best on the West side. The breakfast burritos are hearty and delicious. Food comes with perfectly crispy chips. The cafe de olla is sweet and a nice accompaniment. Overall a great place for brunch or lunch! read more

Definitely delicious tacos. I got pollo, asada, and al pastor. These are small street looking tacos and are so delicious. I ordered the combo which came with the traditional beans and rice, and chips. The tacos were made to order and are literally like homemade tacos. For my drink, I got the jamaica (which I wish was stronger but shrug). I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area. read more

Drove by this place and decide to give it a try. I got a breakfast torta with ham,eggs, black beans, cheese, and jalapenos. The torta was good but not worth 10 dollars.The bread is also a la plancha, ( Panini style) but got too chrunchy which caused the bread to break apart. Salsas are good, and spicy which is a plus.Also tried their Cafe de la olla, which was also good. The employee was nice, and informative about the menu. 3 starts because I do the think it is actually work 10 dollars, and the food was good but not great. read more

It's been a minute but this place has been serving authentic Mexican food in West la for a while. I always get the Clayuda asada. If you're a gringo like me clayuda is a Oaxaca's quesadilla but cooked on a bbq and it's a different type of cheese . And there's always futbol Mexicana on tv. They have the best salsa bar ever with many types of salsas. It's amazing. read more

Super meh to me. First thing that I noticed when I walked in was that the guy behind the counter seemed annoyed. I walked in at 4pm on a Sunday, so it wasn't like he was trying to close up shop and I was the d-bag customer that was gonna keep him there after hours. I think it's a mom and pop shop, which is great, but the inside of the place was pretty dim and stuffy, and felt a little dirty. Maybe it was just a hangover from the initial interaction I had with the guy behind the register. I ordered the wet burrito with carne asada and a regular horchata. The horchata was off - a bit tangy, somewhat watery, and lacking in cinnamon flavor. The wet burrito was OK, borderline good, but with all the other good mexican places around, I'm most likely not gonna come back until I've exhausted the other options. read more

The food is very tasty even with high prices; the place is small But very nice, the attention is acceptable. My low rating is because you drop an extra charge of one dollar in my opinion, considering that food is already expensive, the place lacks maintenance with graffiti and the place is a bit dirty. But my main complaint is the charge of a dollar for using your debt card.. La comida está muy sabrosa aun que con precios altos; el lugar es pequeño Pero muy agradable, la atención es aceptable. Mi calificación baja es por que te caen un cargo extra de un dólar a mi parecer mucho considerando que ya la comida es costosa, al lugar le falta mantenimiento los baños con grafiti y está un poco sucio el lugar. Pero mi queja principal es el cobro de un dólar por usar tu tarjeta de débito. read more

I'm not much into Mexican food, but the fish tacos here are bomb! Battered fish topped off with cabbage, mayo and salsa all wrapped in a tortilla.. what more could you ask for? At $2.50 a pop, I could have ate 3. This is especially good as a "second dinner" stop after you've been drinking. They also sell beef, pork, cheek and other parts for just $1.25 a taco. Parking lot is in a back. Thumbs up. read more

My director raved about this Taqueria, which happens to be very close to his brother-in-law's martial arts studio. This particular El Super Taco is conveniently located on the corner of Pico and Sawtelle, across from Best Buy. This was my first visit here. I was told that the steak is awesome here. The tacos are great and this place makes very authentic Mexican food. Looking at the menu, it's kept nice and simple. You're not looking at a "car service manual" here... You've got Meal Deals, Daily Specials, Choices of meats, and Clayudas. The meat variety varies from Asada, Al Pastor, Buche, Suadero, Lengua, Tripas, Pollo, Chorizo, Carnitas, and Cabeza. Prices are very reasonable, so expect to pay $5-$8 for a meal. Soft Tacos are $1.25 each. I ended up ordering the Steak Quesadilla, since I did not want to put myself into a meal coma. I think I made the right choosing the Quesadilla, the size was just right and came with a nice helping of guacamole. The steak was super tender and very flavorful... you would expect just plain steak, but not at all... Serious great tasting steak in this Quesadilla. Off next to the fountain machine, there's the salsa bar. I got myself some habanero, guac-salsa and regular old mild salsa. There's also some chopped up cilantro & onions to mix up your salsa choices (go for it, live large!). I was satisfied, and I am looking forward to paying another visit to such an establishment. I'd like to try the following in future visits: Flautas Combo, Taco Combo, any of the Tortas, and the Clayuda (sedement lard, black beans paste, cabbage, quesillo & choice of meat... like a giant grill-pressed quesodilla, not as cheesy). Be sure to check out the pics I posted up for El Super Taco. read more

Trying to conquer all the Mexican restaurant near my office. Food I ordered the three taco combo. It comes with rice, beans, three tacos, a side of chips and a drinks for about $10 dollars.They have a great salsa bar selection. Tacos. I asked if they were small and I was told no. So perfect. I ordered the combo without onions. When I received my order and walked back to work, I was ready to dig in. To my surprise, the tacos were three mini tacos and had caramelized onions. No big deal. Took them off and salsa upped my tacos. When I bit into the tacos you can taste the mass amount of sodium. It was soooooo salty. The beans and rice were average. The chips had no flavor. Maybe they can take some of the salt used on the meat and sprinkle into the chips. I will be going back to this place to try out the tortas & burrito in hopes of a better experience. Advice. If you are going to try this place out, be ware this is a busy intersection. Look for parking on the streets. Major construction going on. read more

Torta #17 A brand new location of the home of my second all time favorite torta, El Super Taco, now located 1.5 miles from my office! After a heated debate on what to have for lunch, I convinced the crew that tacos and tortas would satisfy us all. I had wanted to come to whatever Mexican place used to be in the same location but they closed before I ever made it. Who cares!? I love El Super Taco! Not wanting to order too much, I decided to split a muy torta with my coworker. And to be safe, I also ordered 5 tacos; al pastor, suadero, lengua, chorizo and buche. Got to keep this girlish figure. All the tacos rocked! Full of tacoie flavors, served with grilled onions that just slid right down. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/N23zV6CHXX-S_-Gaf2qClA?select=k8BilfXV7bV51uLfbUJVdg The muy torta consists of ham, milanesa, cheese, black bean paste, veggies, and fried head cheese all served on super crispy panini style bread. Everything about this torta works for me. The meats all compliment each other, the head cheese isn't funky at all, and the bread is crispy perfection. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/N23zV6CHXX-S_-Gaf2qClA?select=VDNUusv2cs3h45w9DScqAg I plan to go back very soon and just fill up on tacos. They offer asada, al pastor, suadero, pollo, lengua, cabeza, chorizo, carnitas, buche, and tripas. Also their salsa bar is quite robust with a couple of knockout spicy salsas. Viva La Torta! read more

This is another El Super Taco location. Another place that does not suffer from "Los Anglos". Like the others, the salsas at this location are awesome... especially the habanero salsa. It's a love-hate thing... the taste and the heat are good, but too much and you're panting like a dog. This time I had a torta topped with carnitas and a fish taco. Crispy-fresh fish taco topped with cabbage and some habanero salsa? YUM! And I stand by my review of the torta at the other location. It tastes the same here. Delicious. The parking is hard to find at first, but go straight down Sawtelle and park at the rear. You can get back onto Pico from this parking lot, making it easy to go whatever direction you need to after eating your weight in mexican food. read more

So continues the saga of our Midnight Taco Madness tour.....a little earlier in the day today, but Midnight is really just a frame of mind! We scored a (free after 4pm) parking meter right out front and knew it was Meant To Be. Our eyes met across the uncrowded (between lunch and dinner) restaurant, and he looked at me like he knew just what I needed. He was ready so fast, and my heart skipped a beat when he handed me a heavy bag of tacos. I almost fainted when I saw just how hot his salsa bar could get (cilantro/onions, lime wedges, radishes, 2 kinds of red salsa, an avocado salsa, a tomatillo salsa, and a super hot habanero salsa). His lengua was tender and his cabeza melted in my mouth =O - his al pastor was spicy and his buche was chewy. The carnitas was a little dry and stringy but the asada was good. I knew he loved me because the pile of caramelized onions in the center was SO big. I don't think I'm leaving my lovah El Chato just yet, but when he is too far away or taking a Sunday off, El Super Taco could just be my taco booty call! read more

I love the sopes. They're so cute & little, but filling. The fish tacos are also really good. They have a nice balance of flavor & texture. AND, this place serves Orange Bang, which, in my experience, is not common amongst Westside eateries. So good! The restaurant is clean, has a decent salsa bar, and plays fùtbol on the little t.v. in the corner. read more

El Super Taco - yummy little sope. - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This place sorta just snuck up on me. Good thing I was in the right turn lane when I noticed the big El Super Taco sign on the side, or else I would've just kept driving by. There was a time when I always had my eye's open, visually aware of any spot that could get skate'd up. Now, it seems, my eyes are tuned to the taco. I ordered myself two tacos (asada & carnitas). In hopes of getting served chips, I overly did the salsa bit. But, no chips. I was a bit displeased. The asada was excellent. It came in small chunks that were very soft in texture, with no lack of flavor from the grill. The charred bits were salty, but not too salty, just how I like it. The carnitas was of the roasted type. I could tell that it was simmered for a long period of time, giving it the pulled pork texture, but after the roasting, it became a bit hard. Not overly hard where it was bad...just not the soft, juicy braised carnitas I'm used to and love. With a new location opening up close to my apartment, I will be sure to head back there for the torta's. Apparently its their selling point, because on the front of the menu you can see a torta sitting in a pannini grill waiting to get grilled. Mmmmm, I love me some torta's! Pro's -Salsa Bar -served with grilled onions Con's -Chips not included - 2 star's for the carnitas Taco's ~ $1.25 Torta's ~ $5.99 PS - I hope to be the first to review the new location! check my taco blog for the update labrowndolphin.blogspot.com *end shameless plug now* read more

El Super Taco - Almost done, great food - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

In general, I like this place because its relatively cheap for the amount of food you get. It's good enough to stop by once a week or every other week, at least, because its is really close to work and they are quick. There hasn't been anything on the menu that I just don't like. But at the same time not a lot on the menu that I absolutely love. One cool thing is that they let you pick from several different meats for your tacos, burritos, nachos, enchiladas, sopes, etc! -The fish tacos are really good. They batter a fry some good size pieces, add cabbage and a tasty mayo based creamy sauce. Squeeze of lime and some salsa from the self serve bar, you're set. -The tortas are pretty good, and really filling. -The weird pink/orange colored habanero salsa is damn hot!! -If you're really hungry try the huge freakn' plate of nachos, or try the huge freakn' plate of burrito. Seriously, the Super Burrito is about the size of a plate. -If you like meat and cheese, try the El Alambre. I didn't know what I was getting myself into with this one. It was gluttonously good. Basically its a plate with a stir-fry (of carne asada, onions, and green bell peppers) covered with a LOT of melted monterey jack. All of this sits on top of a layer of corn tortillas that soak up all the greasy goodness (more tortillas served on the side). They are open til midnight and have nice friendly service. read more

Well I am not gonna complain about the food, I will just say that I've had better. I enjoyed the beans and rice along with the cold Coke. The reason for the 3 stars is for the customer service. It was fast and friendly. I was greeted with a big smile when I walked in and the woman already knew my order before I even spoke, very impressive. Anyway, they say you can't knock it until you've tried it and I tried it. So go figure. read more

Great place! No frills Mexican food that gets five stars for good value, good food, great service, and good selection of salsas/condiments. I'm Mexican so I also give this place five stars because it made me feel at home for a few reasons: the lady at the register greeted me in Spanish, there was futbol playing on the tv (in Spanish), and the place is decked out in Chavo del Ocho decor. I don't know if those things will mean a lot to the avg. West LA clientele but they are what pushes this place from 4 star to 5 for me. Anyway, on to the food! My boyfriend and I ordered the Taco Combo plate and the Sope Combo plate. The taco combo plate comes with three tacos with your choice of meat plus rice and beans and the sope combo comes with two sopes with your choice meat and rice and beans. We tried the Al Pastor meat and Carne Asada and both were tasty. The combos also come with a fountain drink and its $2 extra if you want to upgrade to agua fresca (Horchata, Jamaica etc). I ordered an horchata that I thought was good but my bf didnt care for it too much. Said it didn't taste enough like cinnamon. Loved their salsa selection! At least 4 different salsas to choose from. The food was ready fairly quickly and we felt that we got big portions for what we paid. The total was around $22 but only because I upgraded to horchata instead of fountain drink. I'll definitely be back and look forward to trying their tortas and other items as well. Check this place out if you're looking for good Mexican food at a decent price with plenty of options and good service. read more

Service- was good- asked the lady what was in the burrito being that I'm so picky and never mentioned tomato. Besides that service was great and fast. Parking- Was easy to find parking. They have a lot behind them and made it easy to park. Food/Drinks- Well not your authentic mexican food. Food really needed Flavor. Salsas were not even spicy and spicy is never my thing. Was mad about my burrito having tomatoes after I asked what they have in the burrito. Had their Horchata taste the same like any other Mexican rest. Yeah, will not come back to this place.. read more

Living in West LA I was beginning to think it was a lost cause to find a place with relatively authentic Mexican food. El Super Taco gave me hope again. Came here on a weekday afternoon and the place was pretty packed with a lot of people on their lunch break. I ordered the Super Burrito (Chicken) which was smothered in an amazing red sauce, and man was that thing ginormous! Even looking at it made me full. I was only able to finish half of it so I took the other half home. Hoping to enjoy the burrito later, I was devastated when I found out that my roommate had accidentally threw it out when I went to work. I even considered fishing it out of the trash for a split second. Then I remembered how inexpensive it was, and that I could just buy another one haha. I also went with my friend who ordered some carne asada tacos which looked pretty decent. However, it was nothing compared to my Super Burrito. If you're in West LA looking for some pretty bomb Mexican food, look no further than El Super Taco. And make sure you stay away from Mexican food in the Westwood area. Everything there is always a disappointment. read more

El Super Taco - Super Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Maybe you have to be drunk to really enjoy and appreciate this place? I was excited that there was a restaurant open late in my area, since I remember when it had some other name before and closed around dinner time. A big group of us came here one morning, in need of some greasy food. All in all, the food was pretty disappointing, seemed generic, and overpriced for there being so many other great Mexican joints and trucks around. I got the taquitos and my boyfriend for the asada burrito, both pretty unimpressive and with seemingly low quality meat. I'd go back if a group was set on going, maybe order some tacos and maybe be a little bit "happier" first, but don't really see myself making the effort to do so. read more

I like the torta here. But what really keeps me coming back is the homemade habenero salsa which has some serious kick. And the sauce is not just heat but also has a tasty flavor even while it sets your mouth on fire. The people here are friendly. read more

I've driven past this place a million times. I never would have thought to drop in, but had a client that wanted to the other day. The food was pretty authentic as well as the crowd inside. I had the beef enchiladas. The beef was terrible to be honest so I just picked it all out :p. The food here is super cheap for the area. I don't think I would ever go back, but if I do, I would order something vegetarian fo sho. read more

breakfast burrito was the most terrible with 90% rice and beans. couldnt even communicate with staff because they dont speak any english.

This was my first time eating tacos in LA, and it wasn't too bad. I ordered one each of the al pastor, lengua (tongue), and carnitas tacos, which came with a little heap of quick-cooked onions on the side (these were not caramelized, they were barely browned with a good amount of firmness left on them), and nothing more, a fairly no-frills kinda joint. The carnitas was really dry, which made me sad, since unjuicy pork is a crime against humanity. The tongue, however, was really tender, and since I'd never had lengua before, I found it to be a lovely introduction. The al pastor was crumbly, and I'm guessing it was sauteed ground pork instead of the traditional rotisseried seasoned pork. Edible all the same. The highlight was really the salsa bar. The habanero sauce is really tasty and spicy, be sure to pack a few containers to take home! I didn't really like the guacamole sauce, which is saying a lot given my love affair with avocados. Totally food, but it didn't make me do cartwheels. I'd add a star if I could for the awesome dinner company. ;) read more
