Last Saturday, November 15, I stopped by an auto repair shop in East Hollywood because my tire…read morepressure light popped up. I ended up getting two front tires replaced and an oil change. Even though it was raining, the shop was packed with people and cars. While waiting, I suddenly got really hungry -- and since I have low blood sugar, I needed to eat something, but I didn't have any snacks with me. I looked around and noticed a small taco shop across the street, so I headed over. I ordered one beef taco, and it came with three chips. It was so delicious -- honestly, even better than King Taco, I think. If this place were closer to me, I'd go all the time. It's definitely a hidden taco gem. And if you pay in cash, they even give you a discount!

I'd much rather wait a few extra minutes for quality food than have something rushed. I also wanted to mention something I've seen people complain about in the reviews. If your order doesn't come with salsa or utensils, it's usually because you have to request them. They're trying to reduce unnecessary waste, so they don't automatically include those items with every order. If you ask, they're happy to provide them. The staff has always been friendly, and the food has been worth the wait every time. If you're looking for fresh, delicious food, I'd definitely recommend giving this place a try.

I rarely leave bad reviews but this experience was honestly unacceptable…read more We ordered through Uber Eats and our order arrived incomplete. Our wet burrito was completely missing. On top of that, the enchiladas were nothing like what was advertised. They came completely dry with no sauce, no sour cream, no toppings, nothing. It literally looked like a plain tortilla with chicken inside. Calling those enchiladas is a stretch. What made the experience even worse was the customer service. I called the restaurant hoping they would at least acknowledge the mistake or offer some kind of solution. Instead, the woman who answered immediately told me to call Uber Eats. No apology, no concern, no accountability. She acted like she couldn't care less that our order was wrong. Mistakes happen. I understand that. But when a restaurant sends out incomplete food and then treats customers like they're an inconvenience, that's a problem. Between the missing food, the poor quality of what we did receive and the complete lack of customer service, this was an incredibly disappointing experience. We definitely won't be ordering from here again.

# 128 Review for 2024…read more ***Authentic Street Tacos Bringing Mexico to East LA!*** The original Taco inspector was impressed! Overall rating 5 Stars***** Food 5 Stars***** Service 5 Stars***** Ambiance 5 Star*****taco stand ha ha East LA Taco Stand lives up to its name by delivering an authentic taste of Mexico right to the heart of the city. Having a penchant for street vendor tacos, I was thrilled to discover this hidden gem, which did not disappoint. The culinary prowess showcased at this stand is unparalleled compared to regular restaurants. What sets them apart is their commitment to tradition, using traditional charcoal that infuses the meats with a delightful smokiness, making each bite a flavorful experience. I indulged in their asada, chicken, and Cabeza tacos, and while all were delightful, the asada tacos stole the show. The perfect balance of smokiness and seasoning paired impeccably with the array of toppings, creating a symphony of flavors in each bite. The salsa and avocado were a testament to their attention to detail and quality. This place truly stands out as a beacon of authenticity. It's more than just a taco stand; it's a portal to the streets of Mexico. For anyone seeking a taste of home or a genuine Mexican street taco experience, East LA Taco Stand is the place to be. Count me in as a returning customer; this spot has won my heart, and I can't wait to be transported back to Mexico with every visit.

I always craved tacos whenever I traveled abroad as did a friend of mine whom I picked up from the airport after she returned from a recent trip, so this called for a stop at the Taco Stand near my hood. I've lived the surrounding neighborhood for over five years now and disgracefully haven't given them my money as much as I felt I should since I loved to support small businesses and local mom & pop establishments. Would I make a point to visit this taco cart more often in the future!?

Asada Taco x 1, Pastor Tacos x 2, Pollo Tacos x 2 ($1.25 ea.): I treated my friend to this collection of taco treats for her return home from vacationing abroad. Since I gave up red meat for Lent, I'll have to return and try the asada and pastor...each of which smelled wonderful! Coca Cola Soda 12 fl oz can ($1.00): My friend needed something to wash her tacos down with - bleh! SERVICE Pretty straightforward - you stepped up, placed your order, paid, stepped to the side as you shortly waited for your food, dressed it up, and devoured. There was nothing to it, so don't be a douche and asked questions while you placed your order...or "no tacos for you"! PARKING (FREE) Since they were walking distance from my pad, I took things in stride. They had no parking lot of their own. Otherwise, there was ample street parking along the main drag of Santa Monica Blvd. and all surrounding side streets (check all posted street signs). ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE Located on a busy corner directly across from the Cahuenga Branch Library (3rd oldest library in Los Angeles Public Library system), was a makeshift cooking cart alongside a table filled with a ton of condiments, another table with jugs of horchata and tableware, and a large cooler with iced drinks https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=jjbWjAIrhS6EkaZKilYiRg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Since they normally opened at night, rarely was there any natural lighting, so you were left with bright electric lightbulbs strung along a nearby fence and a street post. I've never seen any chairs, so you either stood or sat on the sidewalk curb (be watchful of roaches). There were no TVs, but at times I've heard background music in addition to the loud conversations and car stereos that blared from fellow customers. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL The "Taco Stand" at the corner of Santa Monica Blvd. and Madison Ave. was da bomb and there was no denying that! The prices were cheap, service was excellent, food was amazing, selection off the hook (they had all the meats but wished they had some fish on that hook, though!), seemingly there every night, and best of all it was walking distance from my crib! Although they also sold burritos ($5.00), mulitas ($2.50), and quesadillas ($5.00), I've only indulged in their tacos...which needed to be rectified. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (MY TOTAL paid experience was around $10.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, it was CASH ONLY (sorry, I had to knock a full star off to stay true to my personal rating system), so they didn't accept any credit cards especially mine of choice...AMEX! 4.0 STARS
