I heard they had gluten free/vegan churros, and I had to try them. As expected they were really good, and tasted just like the real ones. ($5.99 for 2) The salsas were really good. I tried the green salsa, haberno, extra spicy and the pico. I would actually go for just the churros & salsa. The carne Asada ($4.99) & crunchy chicken taco($4.79) both lacked flavor & toppings but the salsas really made up for it. I also think the tacos are over priced for a tiny taco Having multiple GF and Vegan options was a big plus. read more

Stopped by during lunch on my way. One thing I will give them credit for: having a parking lot. I ordered what I thought was the Potato Taco because I literally pointed at the sign near the ordering window. What I received was a Bistec Picado Taco, and later I noticed that's what was on the receipt too. I also noticed the price displayed outside wasn't the same as what I ended up paying. The taco itself wasn't good. The tortilla was supposed to be soft but felt overcooked and started breaking apart immediately. Most of the filling ended up falling out after the first bite. What surprised me was that I was basically the only customer there, but the wait still felt long. The outdoor tables also could have used some cleaning. Nobody asked if I was dining in or taking the food to go, so everything came in a bag. If you're planning to eat elsewhere, double check the bag. Mine didn't include utensils or napkins. The quesadilla wasn't bad, but it was very oily and pretty bland. The fresh shredded cabbage was probably my favorite part of the meal. The total for one taco and one quesadilla was around $22. For me, that's hard to justify. To be fair, the portion was filling enough that I wasn't hungry again until the next day. It's been some time since this visit. Looking back now, I'm less frustrated than I was that day. But I still don't see myself making a special trip back. If I'm in the area again, I'll probably try one of the other spots nearby first. read more

I love Hugo's Tacos- one of my go-to places whenever I'm in the area. Their crispy chicken tacos are my favorite- I love the meat, crunchy shells, and the salsa choices! As I remember it, they have delicious and fresh food with friendly service- cute small taco spot! read more

Haven't eaten meat in 35 years, so I've never had pork carnitas. But the oyster mushroom carnitas burrito is one of the best things I've eaten in my life. A must-visit for any vegan in or near Atwater Village, possibly even more essential than the falafel at Dune, down the street (my favorite in LA). read more

I went to Hugo's for a quick bite and ordered a carne asada quesadilla. I was expecting a flavorful quesadilla. I got an ok quesadilla with a side of pico de gallo, lettuce and a teaspoon of guacamole. It was alright but nothing that wowed me. I also ordered a Horchata and it was more colored water with a slight hint of cinnamon. $24 for these items. The service was fast that's about it! read more

Wet chicken burrito that tasted fine was close to $20. Prices are not listed on the menu. I'm all for supporting a small business, so this one time purchase is fine with me but the price is just too high for a burrito... read more

Hugo's has been a staple for us from the Sherman oaks/valley location. We moved to Glendale and have been ordering from the Atwater location, either in person or delivery services. Idk what it is, but as of July 2026 the nachos grande with carne asada are amazing. They were good but now they are great. My vegan wife says her crispy tofu burrito is better too read more

We ordered two breakfast burritos from here on Thursday night just before closing. These both came with chips and a choice of two salsas. All the salsas we got were really good and spicy with distinct tastes. The chips were crispy, a perfect size, and we were given a palatable portion. My breakfast burrito with black beans was thick and delicious. We had no trouble picking up from here and the small parking lot was empty when we went. read more

My partner enjoys the vegetarian bean, rice, and cheese burritos at Hugo's Tacos. This is a place I really want to enjoy... they've been around a long time, great location, I love their art mural, and the staff is always friendly, but every time I end up disappointed with their non-vegetarian taco and burrito options. The meat is always a little gristly, the flavor profiles are a bit off, and inevitably they forget a sauce or two. Perhaps I'll just have to join my partner in going for some veggie options next time. read more

*FLASHBACK REVIEW* Crispy chicken tacos with salsa cruda (salsa negra was also tasty) was my go-to order back in the day...I didn't get to make it back here on my last trip to L.A. *so this is an old review*, but this was one of my favorite spots when I lived in the area! Delicious food, fast and friendly service and a nice small area to sit outside if you want to eat it hot and fresh! I can't speak to the current situation and I know they have even changed some of their salsas (or names) but I hope to make my pilgrimage next time i'm in town- may it be as great as I remember! read more

This place really fell off. Slow service, messed up our order, the green salsa tasted rancid. Bland flavor Super expensive can't believe this was $62. It's a shame I used to like coming here. Update: my wife got violently ill after we got home from eating here. They messed up our order then rushed it out to us, did it fall on the floor. Terrible experience, avoid this place! read more

Man where did the quality go for Hugo's taco!? I used to be a huge advocate for Hugo's taco over 10 years ago but this last visit was horrible. My wife and I got some chicken tacos and chorizo tacos. I have never had such a dry chicken taco in my life that I actually choked on it. The chorizo was also very dry. I don't know if it was just old leftover food from the day or if the cook just overcooked the chicken but it was BAD. This is not the first time we've had a bad experience with this Hugo tacos. Multiple times we've ordered ahead they get our order wrong every time. Sad to say but I wouldn't come back to this location. Maybe Studio City may have it better. read more

I ordered the chicken bowl combo with seasoned fries, and the food was delicious. However, the mango iced tea was very disappointing. It tasted watered down and had almost no flavor. I expected it to be fresh and sweet, but it was so bad that I ended up dumping it out. I definitely should have trusted my gut and ordered a Coke instead. read more

The food isn't that great tasting. I've tried their burritos, and 1 out of 3 visits, I only liked it once. The churros were great though. I would buy those again. I hate the type of mushrooms that they use in their burrito. The horchata was really disappointing. I would recommend sticking with regular tasting horchata. The service is fine. Sitting area outside if ok. There are a few tables, or you can stand. read more

I'm gluten free. We've lived in LA for a little over 2 years, and I have yet to find a breakfast burrito as comparable in size to a regular burrito as the one at Hugo's Tacos. (If you're GF you'll understand this struggle) Today I ordered a breakfast burrito with white beans and soy rizo. It came out to $20 with the gluten free tortilla. I was a little surprised by the price, but compared to the size of other breakfast burritos I've tried such as at Wake and Late, this one was probably 3x bigger. But you're probably wondering - but did it taste good?? It did. Not the BEST GF burrito I've ever had but it was tasty. I think if it had hash browns, was toasted, and used beans with lard lol it would taste better. I'd give it a 6.5/10. Also the chipotle honey salsa was really good. Overall I'm grateful to even have a gluten free burrito option :) read more

first time last time! Too expensive to get a second shot ! The Carnitas tacos were so dry. They were nearly in edible. The AL pastor burrito, lacked that flavor that you know should be in AL Pastor . Super disappointed ! read more

Oh man, what a massive disappointment this place is. I was excited to try it since they can accommodate food allergies but I don't think I will be eating here again. I ordered two burritos for take out and they arrived missing ingredients. No salsa whatsoever, cheese (that costs extra) missing and there was no cilantro and onions. The burritos were extremely bland and they really could have used the salsa that was missing from the order or the cilantro and onions listed on the ingredients. Weirdly, the burritos also had hardly any beans at all. Chips were also stale. Props to them for accommodating allergies but I won't be paying $20 for such a nothing burrito a second time. read more

Once again Hugo's can't fulfill a simple order. Two chicken quesadillas with habanero salsa on the side. No salsa despite being assured it was there. Two tacos with fries and honey chipotle sauce on side. No sauce and raw French fries.? Hugo's, you absolutely suck and we will NEVER order from you again. Go away as you clearly don't care. Bye. 0/10 F- read more

Haven't stopped into a Hugo's Tacos in forever but I was just hangry level hungry at a light and it was straight ahead of me so I decided to get a carne asada burrito w pinto beans (for a change). Thing was pretty massive upon first inspection but biting into it? You realize a good amount of that is just folded up tortilla!?! Odd. In any event, the asada is nicely salted but not overly salty and it tastes like there is some marinade or seasoning there. The two salsas you get - a really pleasant and almost citrusy tomatillo and a spicy red - are both excellent and clearly hand made. They go well on the burrito bites as well as on the supply of thick tortilla chips that come with the burrito as side. The whole affair before tax and tip was $13.79 and I was bummed that it was Thursday because it would've been $10 on Burrito Wednesday. Next time. read more

My mission was to feed 23 hungry teens food they would enjoy and Hugo's tacos was the answer! I had to arrange catering service from Northern California and Hugo's was an easy to work with. Through email I was able to get several quotes and decide which would be the best fit. They were easy to communicate with and the kids love the taquitos, tacos, rice and beans. Because we had a variety of diets, I had to make sure the meal would meet the requirements. Sara was easy to talk with and made sure all was good! If you have a large crowd and need a catering service, I would use Hugo's tacos! read more

Hugo's a great small chain of taco stand restaurants offering a big menu of classic Mexican and Mexican American food dishes from taquitos to burritos, nachos, burgers, tortas, bowls, quesadillas, sweet treats like churros and more. They have a lot of awesome veggie options especially in the vegan and vegetarian variety. The soy chorizo tacos and burrito are a must with your salsa of choice. The mushroom carnitas or potato fillings are solid as well. The Al pastor is very popular according to all my local H.T. loving friends. Hugo's Tacos also has many gluten-free options as well. The service is perfect at the Glendale/Atwater Village fav with a fair amount of covered seating outside on the ride side of the ordering menu and a couple of tall standing tables just beyond the pick-up window on the left. You can find parking in their lot or on the street with few restrictions. Stopped in this easy walk up spot (no drive thru at Hugo's locations so get up and get moving) at this ironically on the corner of Glendale Blvd /Atwater Avenue spot. Food travels well for delivery or take out and they bundle and wrap everything with care. This was a great spot to partake in during a night/month of birthday celebrating with my friends Sonny (a soy chorizo taco enthusiast who ordered many) and Sarah (his girlfriend), but truly great food anytime of day! Good deals and good meals you can make them the way you want. read more

Stop by for lunch to get being rice and cheese burrito and it was literally 10 beans in the burrito all rice and then the lady got a attitude when I let her know she gave me a rice burrito, horrible place never to return read more

Edible but extremely mediocre and bland. Paid $20 for a burrito combo and it was ... not good. To make matters worse, they forgot the ketchup for my fries and salsa for the burrito, which might've made the burrito at least a tiny bit better. Mistakes happen, I get it. But I went during a dead time and I was their only customer the whole time. read more

3.5 stars!! Not quite 4 stars. Hugo's tacos has something for everyone - tacos, burritos, bowls, taquitos, and vegetarian options too! I've had their carne asada burrito which was tastier than I had anticipated; decently good quality meat and fresh tasting tortilla. Their tacos are not your super authentic taco-stand like tacos, but still pretty tasty when you're hungry. I've gotten the grilled fish taco - the fish is fresh+tasty, tortillas are warm and soft, and they even have an array of salsas to choose from (I picked habanero, which is deliciously spicy). The biggest con is their prices - around $3-4 for a single taco is PRETTY expensive if you compare to $1.50 street tacos. I'm happy Hugo's Tacos is in Atwater Village, because it's just so convenient and close to home. But it's important to set realistic expectations when you come here - pretty delicious, solid tacos but not your authentic hole in the wall type of taco. read more

Wow, this place is excellent. five stars out of five stars. Went Carb free with a bowl.

I didnt feel that this 14 dollar burrito was amazing; it was mediocre at its best. I can go to the hood and get a more flavorful burrito for 10 dollars. At Hugo's they charge you for the burrito without meat and then they add an extra charge for the meat. It lack taste. I drive from Newport Beach just to get this half ass burrito. It was slop, never again. read more

Every time I drive by this place, I think to myself, should I give it another try? I've tried their tacos and burritos twice and thought it was just so so. And once again, on my way home, I tried it again. I had the al pastor burrito this time and requested pico degallo inside bc it was dry the last time. And again, this place was disappointing as the tortilla was too thick, couldn't taste any meat and the inside was super dry bc they forgot put any pico inside. They say third time is the charm but for me, no mas. read more

Ordered three chicken tacos and a chicken bowl where I subbed out rice for extra beans because, you know, legume life. What did I get? A bowl filled with more beans than a vegetarian music festival, a sprinkle of lettuce, and chicken that clearly had the day off from taste. And where's the habanero salsa I ordered? Not a lick of heat in this poorly prepared dish. The tacos weren't a total culinary car crash, but let's talk the $29 price tag for entire order. Had I known the prices before I ordered, I certainly would've been more diligent. Since they are not listed on the menu, you basically pay what they charge. And how did this place nab LA Times' Best Taco of 2022? Same Black Mirror episode where El Cholo wins Best Mexican Restaurant, I guess. I'm left wondering who is in more need of a Yelp review--this place or the LA Times? If you love mediocre food, this place is for you. But my advice? Don't squander your hard-earned dollars or tastebuds on this taco stand. In a city that's a treasure trove of real deal Mexican food, believe me, we can do so much better. read more

A little dive/hole in the wall on the outside, but Hugo's Tacos ended up being a pleasant surprise! One of my friends is Gluten Free and it can be hard to find Mexican Food, but Hugo's Taco was advertised as GF safe so we made the drive. The pictures on their website were a little misleading and we thought there would be an inside where we could sit down and order. Instead, it's right on the side of Glendale Blvd. and you order at the counter. They have a few (maybe 6-8) tables on the side of the restaurant outside. No bathroom :( We were very impressed with their attention to detail when it came to my friend's Gluten allergy. The woman who took our orders at the counter thanked us for letting her know and explained that they had separately non-gluten friers in the back. Their menu is also very clearly labeled with GF, Vegan, and Vegetarian options. My friend ordered the GF Taquitos w/ Chicken and really liked them! I ordered 3 tacos with crispy shells (Carne Asada, Carnitas, and Al Pastor). I liked that you can customize your sauce/spice level. 2/3 of the tacos were winners and I felt that the Carnitas was a little dry. I liked that they gave chips with our orders too so we could scrape up any excess that fell out of the tacos. They have a small parking lot in the back that is free for customers. I will likely return the next time my friend is in town for the GF options! read more

Catering The taco stand is always great so I tried them out for catering an event. Sara was super helpful along the way and answered all my questions and knew the exact amount of food for the party size. The arrived and set up EXACTLY the time the estimated, impressive, and everyone loved the spread. Highly recommend and suggest if you're looking for a taco bar caterers for a party or event! Thanks Sara/Hugos!! read more

The chicken in the taquitos was charred. Seemed like the tortillas were overdone so that could justify the dryness of the chicken. They come with a side of beans and lettuce and mild pico de Gallo. The pico was so watery it made the refried pinto beans all soggy. To top it off there was a piece of avocado seed in my guacamole. Definitely never coming here again, even though I'm walking distance from the location. read more

I was in the area and remembered enjoying eating here so I decided to give it a chance. I ordered nachos with no meat which was like $15. I patiently waited for my order and noticed three people who ordered after me get their food first. I went up to the window and asked about my order and for some reason they hadn't started it yet. Not sure what happened but they said they'd look into it. I eventually got my order and they put the guac on the side "so it wouldn't melt". I'm sorry what? Guac doesn't melt! I finally get home and opened the box and all the cheese was melted to the top of the box and the chips were all soggy. Such a waste of time and money. The food was bland and the service was lackluster. read more

$15 for a potato burrito with black beans, avocado cream salsa, and habanero on the side. They forgot my habanero, and there was no sign of any sauce inside the burrito either?? Burrito was pretty much only full of black beans and large pieces of white onion. Some grains of white rice were scattered here and there, and the potato was disappointing too. The few cubes of potato I got were not well cooked (kinda seemed raw) and totally bland. Was given a side of 7 tortilla chips with my burrito. I kinda expected some flavor, like a little sauce maybe! Softer potato would've been enjoyable as well. Pretty let down. I had higher hopes for this burrito. I really like the verity of options they have at Hugo's with the customizable menu. Employees were friendly. The spot is convenient and ambience is nice, there is a lot of outdoor seating and parking. I won't be getting a burrito here again, but maybe their tacos are better. read more
