    Ate there last night. Thought it was good. They do only take cash. Also prices weren't posted. Shared asada street tacos and a wet combo burrito. Not real crowed so go food fast. Plenty of parking by the truck. Didn't have the fries and asada but they looked great!

    Delicious homemade tortillas. Loved the memelas. Reasonably priced. Best Oaxacan I've eaten on the Westside.

    Hands down the greatest breakfast burrito in the greater Los Angeles area. I think you will agree…read moreafter the story to follow. (For context i was literally first introduced to this truck by a buddy, who on his resume under interests, has breakfast burritos listed). Any situation, anywhere, gracias senior is the answer. You got a promotion at work at burned down the city on a Friday night. Saturday you wake up. GET AMPED. You wake up dreadfully hungover on a saturday. Your situationship kissed another dude at the bar the night before. GET AMPED. Sneaky Thursday nights beers got extremely out of hand and now your hungover for WFH Friday. GET AMPED. Currently heading out for a birthday bar crawl but I fear no hangover. Because I know I will wake up tomorrow and GET AMPED! (*The amped is their best breakfast burrito*)

    Service was friendly. Ordered 2 separate orders and received them quite fast…read more Frankly I was hoping the food would be better. The fish taco lacked so much flavor. I ordered a battered taco. Because I wanted to give you an honest review,I ate it on the spot. Taco was not crispy, couldn't taste the batter, or the fish. The carnitas were ok. In my opinion, they could have used a little more seasoning. I had a carnitas taco and an order of carnitas nachos. I felt like the carnitas on my nachos were a bit dry. And the cheese on my nachos didn't melt. The nachos were quite small for the price ($12). Ordered a cheeseburger. It does not include fries, those are sold on the side. The cheeseburger was very dry. Not very flavorful and the fries were ok. The Al pastor taco was good. I noticed that our food was not necessarily hot. Again, we ate our food there and in the car. Don't see why it wouldn't be hot if it's fresh. And if I had to pick something good out of this visit, I'd say the tortillas were nice.

    Finding a late night taco truck in Los Angeles isn't as difficult as you might think. But finding…read moreone that is tasty, affordable, and hits all the high notes can be a bit trickier. Which takes me to the West LA/Sawtelle neighborhood where I had the chance in trying out "El Paladar Oaxaqueno Taco Truck". Located directly on Santa Monica Blvd and just west of the 405 freeway, this popular mobile food truck has been around since the mid-2000's. And if you're looking for something that operates in the wee hours of the night, they are opened for business 7 days a week from 6:30am-3:00am. I arrived here a little after 8:20pm as I was looking for a meal to hold me through the night. As for the parking, it can be a bit challenging but I was able to find something just around the block. This truck is highly visible from Santa Monica Blvd and not hard to miss. As far as the ordering process goes, this place also offers food delivery (as of 2024) to all the major apps; DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Postmates. But I am someone that enjoys going to place as well as conversing with the employees/staff. Since there was no line during my visit, I walked right up and told the gentleman I would like three Carne Asada tacos (toppings on the side) and one Carne Asada burrito with no rice. Total price came out to around $24 which is quite a bit higher than the trucks in East LA/South Central LA. After making the 20 minute drive back to my hotel room, the tacos and burrito are still piping hot. As far as the flavor, these definitely have that distinctive LA "flavor" as this was seasoned very well and a very unique and acquired taste that you can't find in cities such as San Francisco, San Jose, and Sacramento. Their menu is as extensive as you'd expect as they carry several proteins; Asada, Pastor, Pollo, Chorizo, Cabeza, Lengua, and many more. And as for the selection goes, you have your choice of tacos, burritos, quesadillas, tortas, tlayudas, tostadas, mulitas, enfrijoladas, nachos, and salads. And finally the Mexican refreshments that include Coca-Cola, horchata, aguas frescas, and much more. The pros of "El Paladar Oaxaqueno Taco Truck" are arguably the amazing flavor that these things pack into them as well as a great location that is easily accessible. The cons were the very high prices (I believe my Asada burrito was around $15) and the salsas were just too watered down. Overall not a bad meal but I've had way better, especially in the Los Angeles area. When you factor in great service, above average food, but mediocre prices, I will have to rate this place 4-stars. But they are open until 3:00am so a night out of drinking at the bar/club and your opinion might change.
