    Hoy fui a comprar birria pero a la lonchera de Slauson y Avalon y no me gusto el taco que comi alli aparte compre para llevar y pues llegando a casa mire y era puro caldo nada de carne si me enoje porque fuck asi era de caro lo k pague $ para nomas puro pinchi caldo y no carne . Ya no vuelvo a ir mal servicio de el cocinero y la huera cajera ay vean el video!!!

    Al Pastor

    Best Al Pastor tacos ever! I found this place from Mexi Papa and he was right about it being the best. I've heard the birria is also bomb and will try that next time. Chile and sides were fresh and delicious and I like how you can build your own taco haha. The tacos are cheap considering the quality and the best part (other than taste) is you're supporting a really friendly and hardworking family! Show some love to this place and try the Al Pastor for sure, you won't be disappointed. There's a reason they've been in business 30 years!

    Rolled up to the taco trucks eneded here . My opinion i ordered 3 asada tacos but they had no flavor . No radishes . Cucumbers instead .. a soup with to much onion not worth stopping here only if u had no choice

    2 al pastor tacos (awesome!), a less overwhelming carne asada taco, and horchata for $1

    Awesome al pastor tacos and birria (goat) tacos! And yummy horchata drink that tasted like liquified churros (mmm lol). My partner and I stopped in for a quick bite to eat enroute to LAX- originally I had researched where to find a good, authentic al pastor taco. Even though it's a random Tuesday at 11am and the only other customers were Mexican grammas who walked over to the food truck, the herbs and seasoning on the al pastor meat with diced onion, cilantro, and lime wedges were really authentic and totally hit the spot! Tasty, saucy bites with a good amount of moist and delectable meat. I haven't had a good authentic al pastor taco like this since I've been to the el fogon restaurant chains I love in Cancun and Playa del carmen. Now, the birria (goat) taco - while it looked like pulled pork at first, it tasted wayyy better- retains that distinctively gamey goat flavor but in a good way. Really tender and awesome herbs and flavorings. If I didn't love the al pastor so much I would have given the birria the must bingeability. Partner also got the carne asada and chorizo tacos but said they were underwhelming after the al pastor and birria. He felt that the salsa verde and roja (green and red sauces) were a bit watery but tasty nonetheless. The red sauce was REALLY spicy (to my non-spice-loving tongue lol). Green sauce was a little bit spicy but damn good . CASH ONLY of course but you won't need much of it- horchata was $1 and most of the tacos are still $1.50. Either the chorizo or the birria was$3 though, cuz our second order of 3 tacos (birria, al pastor and chorizo) was$6 and I know the al pastor is only$1.50. But who cares, they're easy on the wallet either way! I live in Hawaii now and there is zero good Mexican food, so I'm really glad we stopped here for a fifteen min casual lunch! Their truck is parked at an intersection with a small gated area and a plastic picnic table where maybe 6-8ppl can sit, so we street parked nearby with no issue.

    How am I just discovering Avenue 26 Tacos?! This spot is amazing and may have the best street tacos…read moreI've ever tried (and that says a lot because LA has so many good Mexican food options). I ordered the carne asada tacos and the brisket tacos and both were soooo delicious! They have a self serve toppings and salsa bar, so you can customize your tacos to what you liked. I'm a big fan of spicy foods and my tolerance to spice is pretty high, but the red salsa has a kick to it--so be warned. This spot is super casual but has a very large setup. Service here is very efficient and they are open 24/7 so there's no limit as to when you can get your taco fix. There's plenty of parking which gets extra points in my book, especially because that's typically hard to find in the area. There aren't any tables to eat at, but a lot of people ate standing or by their parked cars. If I could give this spot more than 5-stars I would. If you come here, trust me, you won't be disappointed.

    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!

    Haven't seen the pop-up the last couple times I drove by on Friday, but once the street parking was…read morefilled with buses, and with recent rains, can't set up all the time I guess. Today I was driving North on San Pedro to run work errands, not even thinking of bbq. But then it hit me, the smell and smoke through my window and I turned left to see the pop-up! Corner of 15th & San Pedro, set up is across the street from the LA Face mart. If you get near by I am sure you will see it or smell it:) Swung by after my lunch time errands, excited to get me some briskets again. But not today... Only the ribs, hot links, chicken were available this day. No worries, went for the $10 hot links to try something different. The hot links were good, the inside texture was smooth, don't think I've had this kind before. It definitely has kick, and definitely need to eat with bread. For my weak taste buds, it was too spicy and it literally took a lot of sweat, but ate it all up since still addicting. Been about 10 mins since I cleaned up, but I am still kinda perspiring, lol. I think for me personally, the hot links is 3 stars, since I can't enjoy as much while pouring sweat from my head. But then I'm weak (I pour sweat eating the mild green salsa from King Taco for reference). If you can handle the heat, I think it would be a 4. Hot links seem like a good item to get for the $5 sandwich. But then not sure if you get that crack potato salad! Will be on the lookout next time to see if they have briskets.

    This is a pop-up, which serves very good ribs in very good tri-tip. The rub on the tri-tip is…read moreoutstanding so if you find this pop up somewhere try the tri-tip first and make sure he's put on the rub. It's worth the effort the money and the time to try food.
