We get vegan/vegetarian tacos for our staff party twice a year from Hugo's. My favs are the potato and the fried tofu. The tofu pieces are soooo big and delicious. These are always a huge hit. The avocado and habanero salsas pair nicely together, and the ordering makes it easy to customize the tacos how you like. I'm on day two of leftovers and the tofu ones are sooooo awesome still (although I should have wrapped them in something so the tortillas weren't so hard because I eat them cold as leftovers). I usually order delivery but the times I have been to Hugo's, it has been clean and there is a super casual little area to sit and eat. read more

So angry and disappointed with my to-go order of fish tacos. They were disgusting, literally making me gag. I was so hungry and looking forward to my meal of 3 fish tacos and a side of white beans. The beans are bland and taste directly from a can. Ok, fine, then the salsas are...bland. Ok, fine. Then I realize I could smell the fish through the bag. The smell after opening the container was so strong it got my wife's attention from the next room. Hoping it was just the variety of fish, I took a bite. Instant regret, overwhelmed with the fishy order and taste, I gagged a bit. How could they have let this out of their kitchen? read more

I used to come here a lot. I'm not gonna come back anymore. I couldn't finish my 3 tacos. Since the gas price increased, their quality decreased. They need to change something before they loose their customers. read more

Hugo's Tacos - Taco and Burrito No good - Mexican Near Me - Studio City, California

My Hugo's experience is still evolving, but every time I come here I can't help but be satisfied. I've only tried the tacos. The Chicken and Al Pastor are both great. The soft tacos are fine, but their crunchy tacos are truly unique. The shells taste excellent and hold up really well. I was able to drive 30 minutes home and they were still crunchy, no sogginess at all. The sauces are key here. The honey chipotle is excellent and definitely my favorite so far. The avacado salsa and pico de gallo are both good too. The whole process is outdoors. Order at the window then you get your number. You can stand around and wait or you can take a seat at the small area of outdoor seating on the side of the building. Overall I always enjoy coming here and I'm excited to explore the menu further. read more

Hugo's Tacos - 3 Al Pastor Tacos w/ honey chipotle - Mexican Near Me - Studio City, California

Horrible . Had lunch here and the food sucks no seasoning on steak Just horrible overpriced food here

First time trying this so let's go... Fish burrito enchilada style in other places this usually means covered with red sauce and cheese Here it means covered with a salsa and includes chips with some cheese Weird concept but I get it, have something that sounds out In this case it doesn't quite work The portions are nice and the stand out was the auga Fresca which redeems this review So in essence go there for the aqua fresca and maybe just maybe get a taco instead of a burrito read more

Hugo's Tacos - Grilled fish burrito with avocado salsa "enchilada style" please note I asked for more sauce and covered it myself - Mexican Near Me - Studio City, California

Nice little legend of a taco stand. Tons of vegan and veggie options. Super cheap. Easy go-to.

the best part of the meal was the french fries, everything else tasted like it was past its use by date. gross.

Quick and casual vegan friendly taco spot in the valley. One of very few "fast food" walk up spots to offer soy chorizo. My go-to is the soy chorizo taquitos, they come with rice and beans, greens, and guac. It's tricky if you don't eat it there, as they usually get soggy. My partner's order is consistently the soy chorizo burrito. There's a dedicated parking lot and some street spots available North on Riverside. Plenty of seating is available - completely outside but covered. I definitely recommend it, they have an app for ordering pick up orders ahead of time as well. Vegan made easy and delicious! read more

Food is so delicious and the service is quick. So many gluten-free options. Since being diagnosed with Celiac I have missed bean and cheese burritos which used to be a staple in my diet. Hugo's has the best GF burritos and churros. We make sure to stop everytime we visit. read more

I have been coming here for years. I'm there most Wednesday nights for their burrito special. As a vegetarian, there are a lot of places that just don't offer much, but Hugo's stands out. I have had their potato burritos (my usual order, with white beans, honey chipotle salsa, and a whole wheat tortilla), the crispy tofu (usually as a soft taco rather than a burrito), mushroom carnitas, soy chorizo, all quite good. They also offer veggie burgers -- not the best option IMHO, but the vegan chicken sandwich is quite tasty. They also have a wide range of salsas. I have tried them all, and I think that the honey chipotle has the best flavor, but if you need more or less heat, they have other options available. The people there are quite friendly and helpful, and they recently expanded into a neighboring building that was vacated by an insurance company, so they have some nice indoor seating when the weather outside isn't so nice. They do a good job on keeping the place clean. Sometimes at other places I have to tell them they have tables that need cleaning, but that is never an issue here. read more

Hugo's Tacos - They added indoor seating recently. Nice for when it is too cold or windy outside. - Mexican Near Me - Studio City, California

Man. I don't know what exactly it is about these tacos, but I really think they're some of the best I've had in LA. Always fresh and packed full, sizable portions for the price - not those teeny tiny street tacos. Nice people working there, shoutout to Jen I'm just super impressed. And I'm not even a huge taco fan to begin with. Thank you Hugo's! read more

Hugo's Tacos - Chickie hard shell tacos with the fixins! Disclaimer, I spread the guac before I took the photo - Mexican Near Me - Studio City, California

So we've been getting takeout from here and eaten here a bunch in the last four years. Lately delivery orders have just been awful with no fault to the delivery service. The food this time was so awful I need to share. We got our food, eventually, and they were COLD. Like chilled to the touch. We also order honey chipotle and XXX RED salsa on the side. We were worried they wouldn't give us enough so we ordered a supplemental honey chipotle. Paid extra for that. We got our order with ONE large tub of honey chipotle- no XXX at all - which makes our meal for us. So. These tacos won't be good. Then we accept our sad fate and dig in and they were cold. COLD. There was also a big hunk of FAT in one of my tacos as big as my thumb. Mmmm cold fat. Yum. They've had opposes in the past but they've redeemed themselves but I think this is the last straw. Goodbye Hugo's read more

This has got to be a freaking joke ... a shrimp taco with only cilantro and onions FOH ... the lady was rude aF and pretty much threw my order at me, needless to say, but I WILL NOT RETURN! My food was cold as ICE , Chips STALE ... Smh I should have known not to go here. After further review, this shit is horrible!!!!!!!!!! read more

Their taco Tuesday is the best! I get crispy chorizo tacos and their Asada burrito! Really good price for what they offer! I think this place is one of the best family run tacos stand/restaurant in the valley. read more

Not great. The chicken was so chewy that I couldn't even finish my bowl and i'm still left really hungry. The taste was not great either and the rice seemed really cheap. It would be better if they didn't have low quality meat read more

The tacos and foos are really good, and I love that it is outside. Every time I am in Studio City I have the tenacious will to go to Hugo's

Staff are very courteous BUT THE FOOD IS YUCK. Josie grossie! Chicken bowl- there's no real chicken in there. Maybe a tsp or 2 of ground cardboard chicken! Eeew. For 12$ a bowl, go spend it at Chipotle and get real chicken meat (9$) Tacos carnitas: how can one mess this up? Super dry, again cardboard tasting like meat. Ugh! First timer and will never be back. read more

I generally enjoy the experience at Hugo's. Today I called in the order and let the woman know I was there. She ignored me for 20 minutes until I had to asked again to be served. It was sitting there the whole time and the apology was very week. Poor customer service doesn't begin to explain wasting customers time and not keeping an eye on people waiting for excessive amounts for time. read more

First of all, they have vegan and gluten free churros!! Im allergic to dairy and gluten, and have been wanting a churro I can eat for decades. Everything is for sure made to order; tastes very fresh and pure and the marination is exceptional. Chicken taco was flavorful (which most places make boring) and the orange and spices really came through in the carnitas. Chicken was well cooked. The carnitas were dry, but I'll forgive it bc flavor and freshness matter most to me and they killed that. Four stars instead of five because 1) they are very stingy with salsa. I was only given two small containers of salsa for my three tacos. I'm used to salsa bars and/or unlimited salsa, and their selection looked great, so this was a bummer. 2) the soyrizo was not spicy and had a mushy consistency. I appreciate that they tried to do home made, but it was a miss and I don't think there's a need for soyrizo / chorizo to be home made. 3) as others mentioned, the cashier seemed irritated to take my order. But tbh I don't care what customer service is like if the food is good--which it definitely was! read more

Not of fan of leaving reviews, especially not negative ones. But I'm hoping they see this is something changes. I used to love this place. It was also my go to for a last minute order. Lately all my orders have had errors, from missing items to what happened tonight. I ordered on the Uber app. I clearly chose Tofu. My order said tofu in the app, and on the receipt attached to the bag, I took one large bite and realized it was chicken. My body cannot process chicken. I phoned Hugo's Tacos and was connected to the manager, Jen. She literally told me that she "just assumed it was chicken". She said she looked at the order, but "didn't look close enough." Seriously. She treated it as though it was not a big issue at all. I was so upset with her response that I snarkily said, "thanks for ruining my night" as I was likely going to be physically ill. She said "you're welcome". That's it. Can't imagine going back. read more

Amazing salsas, burritos you could literally eat every day and it's a tightly run ship. Eat it there or run it home. No losers here.

They make their "mexican rice" with basmati rice and that s*** don't make no f****** sense Just because you put in Mexican seasoning on it doesn't make it Mexican rice basmati rice does not hold the flavor like Mexican rice Mexican rice we all know is a short grain rice!! Thats why it taste like white rice , like the white f****** people that own the place! That soyrizo taco and the the soyrizo taquito was 99 f****** percent potato. I repeat Potato!!! That's f****** news to me!! If I wanted a potato taco I would have ordered a f****** potato taco because they have f****** potato tacos on the menu oh and these "refried beans" aren't refried f****** beans, they're just f****** pinto beans! However I must say, the watermelon agua fresca is absolutely delicious. I must give credit where credit is due. I have visited this establishment many times and I must say that this has been one of the most disappointing food experiences I've ever had in my entire life from a place that I frequent and suggest to friends and strangers alike. They have officially fallen off. read more

I hate to say it but this place has been much more of a miss than a hit lately. It used to be my go to carne asada spot nearby and I've been disappointed with the quality of meat the past couple times. It's hard and very, very, um very, chewy....Sad but true. read more

They have a ton of vegetarian and gluten free options that are clearly marked on the menu. I had a soy chorizo taco and potato taco. Both were yummy. I also added the habanero salsa which was not as spicy as I was hoping. My boyfriend had carne asada and chicken tacos. He loved the chicken but said the carne asada was dry. They add the salsa on top of your taco which we didn't know. We prefer to add ourselves so we'll ask for it on the side in the future. I also had the churros and OH MY. The best churro ever. I haven't been able to have any as I can't eat wheat but there's is gluten free and so good! Plenty of cinnamon sugar on it. read more

The tacos that I tried here are just OK - the fish in the fish taco is a bit dry, and the al pastor meat was a bit too greasy. Also, the food seemed just a bit watered down in terms of spice, possibly reflecting neighborhood taste. Fine for stopping by, but not something to seek out. A word about their Covid mask policy - they evidently had some trouble with some customers so they have signs saying that customers are to have masks on when on their property and outside their cars. I applaud this attempt to enforce safety, but I saw other customers with masks half off while waiting for orders - do be aware of this. I would like to see such policies more vigorously enforced, but I understand the difficulties here for businesses. read more

Meat is hit or miss. Very nice drink options. Worst part is there's no bathroom and they give you chips with no salsa and they don't even ask if you want salsa so if you don't know this going in you just get a bunch of chips with your dry tacos. I'm not even in Mexican and I know not to do that. For shame. read more

As a vegetarian I really enjoy their potato tacos and my boyfriend who is not loves the variety of tacos they offer. We've been coming here for awhile, always take out, and during COVID-19 we continued to pick up take out and support. We came back last Tuesday to see they are temporarily closed because they are tired of having to tell people to put on masks and having their employees harassed about it. Very unfortunate, but completely understand the frustration and exhaustion. When we went the last few times more than half the people there did not bother to put on a mask. UPDATE: They are back open with extra signage - Be respectful! read more

Really hate to give bad reviews but hoping this would be taken into consideration to improve service and better food quality. Customer service was lacking. The lady seemed impatient and had zero customer service. If you can't greet your customers by saying hello how are you? What would you like to order? You've got a problem. Next food... we ordered carne asada burrito, adovada taco, chicken sandwich, breakfast burrito, bean burrito and cheese quesadilla. Food was so dry and they only give you one choice of salsa which didn't help. Everything was lacking flavor and the portions were definitely small for the price. Definitely not your authentic Mexican taco stand. We got back to our room and no salsa for our chips. Very disappointing. read more

Haven't been here in years. Ordered 2 crispy steak tacos. The meat was soooo over cooked, dry and flavorless. The guacamole had no flavor and seemed store bought. And the pico de gallo was completely dry and just tasted like oregano. :( the $19 price wasn't even the problem. Just the dry tasteless food. read more

Amazing food & service & ambiance. Incredible vegan options. Very accommodating. Anyone can find something they like here

A classic. Great value. Wish they were open 24/7 cuz when I've brought leftovers home, they hit so hard around 1am

Consistently fresh, delicious, gluten-free options... we phone in the order and it's waiting for us to pick up or a very short wait. The staff are always friendly and happy to adjust anything at the last minute if possible...usually it's been my necessitating the watermelon agua fresca if I see they have it. Do yourself a favor and get the gf churros... but save yourself the torture and get one to eat on the way home, too! ;) read more

Worst food I have ever tasted. Me and my daughter ordered a steak burrito. It had said it was $9.89 (more or less, +/- a few cents) on the menu and I was charged $10.49. I brought it to her attention just a few minutes later n she was trying to tell me what the breakdown of the price was. The menu said $9.89 and I didn't add anything extra. I told her that she needs to change it on the menu then. She didn't say ok, just kinda brushed it off. No big deal. Whatever. So we got the burrito a few minutes later and holy cow-- completely disgusting! I mean, I hate to write bad reviews but it was literally the worst burrito I've ever had. It tasted and smelled like dog food. Will never go back here again. read more

I give them a 3.5. I came to Hugo's years ago, and thought the tacos were tasty and unique. There was one that tasted like it had mole sauce. I didn't see that today. I got a chicken taco with honey glaze sauce. The sauce was tasty, but a little too hot (spicy) for me. I'm a light weight when it comes to salsa. I also ordered a potato taco. It was fresh and tasty, except I got more honey glaze sauce on it instead of the tomatillo sauce I ordered. I recommend getting the hot sauce on the side. The pinto beans were fresh. However, I didn't care for the rice. The rice tasted spicy to me, and I didn't like the flavor overall. Next time, I'll try the fish torta. The bread looks good, and not too thick, on the torta, and I haven't found a torta I like in my immediate neighborhood. read more

I stopped at this restaurant for my lunch break because it has a sign stating that they were rated the best tacos in 2022. On the outside it looks clean. But there was no parking. The service was fast. I ended up getting carne asada tacos. The beef was dry, The tortillas were cold. The only thing that was good was the green sauce. Not to mention the prices are way too high. Not worth it. I will definitely not be coming back. read more
