House of Taco is a decent spot for good tacos. It's a small establishment, but the tacos de cueritos, cabeza, and chorizo are delicious. I usually place my orders by phone since I pick them up for lunch, and the service has always been good. I can't really speak on the ambiance since I've never eaten there, but every time I stop by, I notice a steady flow of pickup orders with people coming in and out. The place is always clean, and the cashier is consistently very polite. read more

These are the same folks who had the amazing fried chicken over in NoHo on Lankershim. Place is tiny, parking isn't the greatest. Very hole in the wall typical Mexican spot with walls painted, artwork, etc. The fried chicken though same amazing chicken that we used to get at their old spot. Only problem I had is once I showed up (from Sylmar 30 minutes away) at 6:45 and they said their fryer was already shut off for 7:00pm closing. I get it but maybe lock the doors or something if you really aren't going to take orders. Otherwise we will continue to get their yummy chicken at least once a month. read more

After 23 years in L.A., I've discovered this tiny place serves the best chicken quesadilla in town and it was right down the street for the last 11 of them. Their green sauce is delicious, too. I haven't tried anything else cuz I'm addicted to the quesadilla, but I've seen some of the other items and they look delicious. I'm no Mexican food connoisseur; in fact, it's almost never my first choice when asked, "Where do ya wanna eat?" but I love a love a good quesadilla with green sauce and this hidden gem has my back. There's always someone who speaks English on staff, too, if that's a concern. I took off a star cuz it's aesthetic could use an upgrade, it's always hot as blazes in there and the parking is pretty terrible (I order to go), but don't let that scare you off. The food is worth it. read more

Authentic food at affordable prices, this hidden gem is a fantastic lunch or dinner option. Quesadillas are a must and come folded up, quality service too! read more

House of Taco - Full menu - Mexican Near Me - Van Nuys, California

Yuuuum, to each their own. In my opinion this place has and is a good spot for Mexican food, carnitas, al pastor, menudo, caldos, good enough for me!!! read more

The guy behind counter is rude and doesn't know how to speak to customers. You try to explain to him the problem and he gets mad and throw alway the food! read more

I love this place. The food is GREAT, the prices are even better, and the people who work there are super friendly. They have tacos for $1 every day. That's an excellent deal! I go here all the time for lunch. The lady who cooks the food is so used to me that she will start making my food as soon as I walk in sometimes. That's good service. Sometimes there's a bit of a wait if they're really busy or if they're getting a big order for delivery, but it's worth it. You can get delivery through Postmates, by the way. I usually just go in. My only complaint is that sometimes they're out of limes. read more

Good customer service, very good price for tFried Chickenhe fried chicken with fries and pickles.

After a long day at work, I decided to fill my stomach with what was missing during my lunch hour. I wanted a Taco Truck feeling, but at the same time go to a place my mother goes once-in-awhile. Al Pastor here I come...... The location of House of Taco is between Varna and Woodman. Its located near the Laundromat and almost next to the wash (LA River Connector). I walked in around 9:20pm to an empty store. Most of the customers were probably in earlier doing their laundry and now drying and loading their cars. I ordered my favorite...Al Pastor Burrito with No Chile ($4.50). My total was $4.93. The wait was about 5-6 minutes. My order came and it was on a plate. I forgot to say to go...OOPS. They went ahead and wrapped it in foil. They added more chips and radishes. YUMMMO!!! Burrito is quite big (That's what she said). I still had spice in it, but it didn't quite burn my tongue like the Taco Trucks in Castaic did. Radishes were my favorite side to eat to help calm my mouth if there was still spice in it. Usually helps anyways. The place is still good to go. I haven't been here in awhile and I remember uploading their menu probably a year ago. I remember buying tacos for my mother's patients and I wish she still asked to me get some....Despite some of the patients may die from eating spicy food...lol. The Yelp Universe. Where are you traveling today? read more

The chicken was expired tasted old had an after taste the rice and beans were good but the chicken was expire! The chicken tasted like it had gone bad and they cooked it anyway. read more

Place is super rascist I went inside to order something the guy behind the counter just stared at me as soon as a Hispanic family walked in they got attended to right away I just left you not about mistreat treat me and take my money a locals only type of joint read more

Tacos are aights. cabeza and cueritos are the best of the proteins here. Decent tacos to have when the great joints aren't available. read more

The people that work here are so freaking nice. Definitely come and enjoy this place. It's truly a hidden gem I come here almost every day. Tacos are by far my favorite. The Carnitas is really good here. But the best part the prices are surprisingly good for the quality of food and quantity that they give you. But more of all the people that work there are awesome, something you don't find everywhere during these times. read more

The staff out here is full of amazing people! Always make me feel welcome. The food is so good too

If I can Give less than a one star I would this is a horrible experience that I experienced at this taco place so I ordered chicken and fries from my job and when I got home it was all burnt like the oil was old and the fries looked really really old and dark so I called the owner and let them know the circumstance the chicken was in and they said I've sold 10 chickens thus far and you're the only one that's complained if that's not horrible customer service I don't know what is I let them know that I would take them the pictures tomorrow because I was unable to go back there since it's a little bit out of my way the lady said just come back now and I'll give you your money I said if that was possible I'd be at your location right now I will go ahead and go tomorrow and show you the pictures so you can see my proof so the next day comes that I go and take her the pictures she says the pictures don't do anything for me what can I do with the pictures so she gave me the money back with an attitude this poor excuse of an owner is honestly Such an awful asset to the business I will go ahead and attach the pictures see you can see the poor condition of the chicken how can anybody eat that chicken that's awful I had to feed that that to my kids obviously I had to go elsewhere . Has anyone experienced this type of customer service? read more

I ate here today for the first time and it was okay. I think this is the only restaurant that has a menu (a large one at that), with NO prices mentioned anywhere! The only prices are located in their to-go menus. Prices are average (not overpriced). Nothing fancy. They add guacamole to their burritos (very little). The place is too average and I won't be back as a result. It was worth a shot. read more

The only reason I rated this place a 3 star is because they are couple blocks away from my home. To be honest , I've had countless amount of tacos and burritos. This place is okay, not the best taco place but hey it's cheap, and gets you full. read more

I've given this place a few tries and I'm not a fan. Food is not as good as other Mexican spots in the area and there's usually always an error with my order. read more

This is the real deal. Small, bright colored, and delicious. They don't speak any english here at all and that's totally cool. They have some of the best platters out there and they are very very cheap. They have a chili relleno and taco platter that are to die for and if your in the mood, Menudo can be made on request. I used to stop here when I lived in Van Nuys when I was doing my laundry next door. There were never more than 2 people at a time in the restaurant so I could always find a seat, and the lady at the counter always remembered me.... maybe because I was the only asian she met who spoke spanish. In any case, totally stop here but don't go in groups and don't go at night, kinda a shady area. But during the day totally stop here for a quick bite. Enjoy! read more

Small place but really good food, it does its job. I get number 23 which is Double Cheeseburger

I had a craving for a Chile Relleno burrito and found this place quickly on Google. It's a small "hole in the wall" type of restaurant, so I'll take the authenticity of the food over other small deviations. My friend wasn't familiar with chile relleno but the woman behind the counter asked questions & customized the dish to my friends needs. The burrito was delicious, as well as the rice & beans. Did not try any meat, but now wanting another Chile relleno burrito specifically from House of Taco. Thanks for your kindness and hard work during these tough times!! read more

Okay .. so maybe I'll have to check this place out again.. BUT my first experience here wasn't all that great.. I went with my mom and brother, we didn't order anything out of the ordinary. . I got a burrito, my mom some tacos, and my brother a Carne Asada plate.. KEEP IN MIND WE WERE THE ONLY PEOPLE IN THE RESTAURANT!! So whyyyyy did we have to wait almost 25 minutes? That's ridiculous! So instead of really complaining, I thought "hmmm the food here must be good because theyre taking so long, it must be fresh" .. I get home and the food wasn't that great, I might as well have opened my freezer and have gotten out a FROZEN BURRITO! .. But hey! Like I said.. it was my first time, and maybe the cook wasn't in tgr mood to "cook" .. I'll stop by in the near future and give an update. :) read more

First time at House of Taco, I tried it even though some people gave so-so reviews bcs it's close. I'm soooo glad I did!! It's not fancy or chic, but its authentic. I've paid three times more for a burro de asada on ventura at a fancy Mexican place only to find it tastes like Taco Smell. It's local, family owned and real Mexican food...they even play Banda!! read more

I dislike this place so much, but whenever my non-hispanic friends come visit me, they insist we come here, specifically because I dislike it so much. Somehow its always unbearably hot inside the cramped space. No one has accused it of being clean. But aside from that, they fail to fulfil my need for a real taco. Why are they this close, and this authentic, but with such terrible tacos? Why? Taco lovers, skip this place and track down that taco truck. Its worth the hunt. read more

The food was okay, a bit pricey for what I thought especially the drinks. The food was okay and they didn't take long at all. So that was a plus. They had me in and out about 20 minutes. They use cilantro instead of salsa which I thought was a nice break from all the competitors. read more

I did love it was super delicious 100% Mexican food I'll definitely be back again soon

This place sucks , I placed a pick up order for today on Uber eats and was notify that my order was ready and when I got to the restaurant the doors was locked and I called the restaurant and a guy picked up and said the restaurant was closed already , bullshit the restaurant states close at 10pm, false advertising . I would give it a zero stars but no option too. read more

No the best burriot place i mean its good but not that good i like the burgers the parking is okay The chashiers are nice the burriot is like 4.60 it a good price read more

The main reason I come here is for the 1/2 chicken with fries. I havent tried any of the other plates. If you remeber Sirloin Burger that was located in North Hollywood on vanowen and lankersheim they use to sell a 1/2 chicken with fries. I read a tip on yelp that the same type of 1/2 chicken was also sold at House of Taco. I can confidetly state the 1/2 chicken taste like the one Sirloin Burger use to sell back in the day in North Hollywood. Even the fries taste the same. If you ever tried the 1/2 chicken from Sirloin Burger you have to go to House of Taco to relive that 1/2 chicken greatness. Yes the pickle is also included with the chicken. read more

First off, the area in front of and the area to the side of this place stinks like there is a rotting corpse. Upon further investigation, I found overflowing used oil tanks causing the rotting smell. At this point, I contacted the Los Angeles County Department of Health with a complaint and they said they don't have a record of any food establishment by the name: "House of Taco" at the address of 13521 Sherman Way Unit G. I couldn't believe it! I think a word to the wise...check out food establishments with some diligent research before you decide to eat there. Here is the link for where you can check out legitimate places to eat in Los Angeles County: http://publichealth.lacounty.gov/rating/ read more

I hate this place in general but I just have to keep coming back for that delish fucken half fried chicken with fries and pickles yum

The tacos are great! Just getting them is a little difficult, especially if you're picky. The cashier or any of the empleyees don't understand or know basic English so if you're a picky eater, 90% chance your order will come out wrong. But still, bomb chicken soft tacos! read more

good tacos mostly ! the tortilla seemed a bit dry and there was big ass pieces of onion!! the tacos were good with added salsa verde ! recommended if you want some fair-priced, simple tacos ! read more

This place charges $6.33 for a bean and cheese burrito... I mean Casa Vega in Sherman Oaks on Ventura Blvd only charges 5 bucks. This place is a RIP OFF!!! read more

Bland food. Ordered a asada burrito and it really have flavor. But they have fried chicken which seems interesting for a Mexican hole in the wall joint. Stayed tuned for further comments about that in the near future. read more

On weekends they make homemade tortillas but they often sell out. I enjoy their taquitos Dorado's. I've also had their Chiles rellenos. Both have been very good. The place is mom & pop and they mainly speak Spanish but they do have pics with numbers on the wall. Good for take out, they have a few tables. read more

As soon as you walk in the place you can tell this owner doesn't care about cleanliness or appearance. Even the cashier looked greasy and not very presentable. I had a certificate from this place but they told me it wasn't valid either. Plus they're grade was a B. Food was okay though but still I don't think I'll be visiting this place anymore! read more

BEST PLACE TO EAT. Great customer service. Serve you quickly. On the weekends great carnitas. I recommend the 1/2 chicken it's delicious!

First and foremost all the tables were very dirty. Like they don't pay attention at that. Second walking out after I have already ate I seen the "B" sign posted outside. Not a good sign. Food is ok probably a little below average. Not gonna lie the staff are very kind and sweet but the food not so much and the restaurant was pretty dirty. read more

i love the food.. its open all night and they are very quick for a get and go order .. the quality of meet is fresh with the turn over that they have .. not an impressive ambiance but definitely worth the shot to try ;) read more
