Just moved back to the valley from LB. Been looking for a good pastor taco spot. I came here because of the great reviews but wasn't impressed. To top it off there was a terrible smell that night, idk if it always smells like this but it just smelled like sewage. I will say they were nice and warm but again the smell was so bad I would not go back. Tacos themselves 7/10. Location 2/10 read more

They popped up in the Elco Shop and I had to give it a try. I rank taco spots based on their Al Pastor and Los Palomos has a solid one. Solid flavor and everything is well put together. The sauces are also all amazing and not watered down. Overall solid taco stand! read more

This particular spot is a little confusing because I think a couple operators operate out of the space. I'm going with this operator only because there is really no particular signs but at the end of the day it's not a big deal. Only thing that matters is the deliciousness of the tacos. The vibe here is like a neighborhood cookout with friendly people helping you out. They make fresh handmade tortillas for the tacos and are generous on the toppings. I ordered an al pastor taco and a cabeza vampiro. This hit the spot, especially after leaving a friends birthday party. The meats had delicious flavors and textures, and everything was made perfectly in my opinion. I love as usual the self-serve salsa and topping bars at tacos spots. Such a great spot for tacos and it's not hard to figure out why this place seems to be busy so often. read more

My favorite taco stand with delicious salsas. It's hard to find a better place for Tijuana style Al pastor. I love their queso tacos. Handmade tortillas!! read more

I was not impressed with this place at all. I do like that they make their tortillas fresh, but their meats do not have that much flavor. Their pastor was a little dry, but did have flavor. Since their asada is grilled, it gives off a great flavor. But their cabeza, lengua and tripa was just ok. The 3 meat is tender, but lacking in flavor. read more

My family is in love with the al pastor. It's not greasy. It's tender, tasty and perfect. The hand made tortillas are the best. The carne asada tacos are also great, you can't go wrong with anything here. The service is fast, friendly and extremely efficient. Some of the best tacos in L.A. read more

Los Palomos - Gringas in the making. - Tacos Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Los Palomos is my jam. This is the best taco joint I have had in ALL of SoCal. It's just as good as (maybe even better*gasp*) than tacos el gordo. I recently had el gordo and I was not wowed because I have los palomos every week!!! I was a bit skeptical because it's an outdoor stand, but you know what? I'll risk getting Covid for these tacos. Other taco places, I eat three tacos max. Here, I eat four because it's that food. Even when I'm stuffed and I have a taco left, I make myself eat it. I always get el pastor. I've tried the lengua. It was so tender. But I always stick with el pastor because they have a constantly rotating spit of glistening marinated pork. The taco man carves thin pieces of it onto freshly made tortillas from the lady next to the stand. He then flicks a little piece of roasted pineapple to finish it off. They have a bomb toppings/salsa stand after you pay. You can top your tacos with it or pack it in little cuppies and baggies. They have fresh cukes, radishes to offset the spicy salsa. I kid you not, you are going to have some serious BM in the morning if you eat a lot of the spicy salsas. They also have diced onions and cilantro along with pickled onions/habanero (also deadly). I've tried their torta, burrito, and quesadilla. All good, but I love their tacos the best. There's always a line, so that tells you something about the food! Tacos are $2. They have days where some of the food is a special so you can get $5 burritos, etc. You can park in the CVS parking lot. I don't know if they accept Venmo or not so just bring cash to be safe. read more

Los Palomos - Brought my tacos home to eat with some slaw and micheladas - Tacos Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This is a taco stand for the people. The food is cheap and the line is filled with regular folks that just want a good meal, not a bunch of people hoping to take a selfie in front of some bright, unique branding. There are plenty of options on the menu but I have only tried the tacos since I just needed a little extra food after a lighter dinner earlier. I certainly plan to come back Likes: - if you enjoy pastor, this place is for you. Like other fine stands, it rides on a trompo for maximum juiciness in every bite. I still can't over the fact that I only paid 3 dollars for two pastor tacos with cheese. Also, it's not just cheese sprinkled on top of the meat. They let the cheese melt on the flat top to a nice crunch golden brown layer - I appreciate the variety of fixings available in giant tubs. I'm guessing they're full at the end of the night and gradually go down but never actually refilled as the cooks and cashier are constantly busy delivering orders - my wait felt reasonable. They don't have problems with efficiency. They're just very busy. - it's entertaining to watch the cook slice off pastor and then cut a piece of pineapple from the top. He almost never misses a catch using the taco as a glove - there's plenty of seating Dislike - well it's been a lot darker in the evenings thanks to daylight savings so you might want to take your food home if you need a well lit table - beware of the dark red sauce. It is not for the weak. You'll want to drip it on your tacos after a light dunk of the serving spoon. My lips were on fire moments after my first bite and I'm scared I'll pay for it tomorrow. Seriously, proceed with caution unless you can definitely take the heat Other: - you might have trouble asking about the food when you're in line since many of the patrons speak little to no English. You'll be okay if you wait to the cashier, who will likely be a younger fellow that speaks perfectly good English and Spanish. read more

One of my favorite street tacos! I feel like there's always a small line at this place but it moves quick. I love ordering their mulitas al pastor. This is also one of the few taco spots I know that sells cueritos, but they do sell out of them quick! They have little tables set up to sit down and eat they have all the sides you need for your food like onions, cilantro, cucumber, salsas, etc The prices are fair and the employees are super friendly read more

When I first moved to the area a year ago, I immediately knew I had to stop by this taco stand. Having eaten a good share of tacos in LA and SFV, I know you always get the most authentic experience eating at these family run stands/trucks. (You know its real when there's an abuela on the side cooking fresh tortillas and another family running a concha truck). There was always a long line when I drove passed so I thought it was rad that so many locals around the area also made this their go-to tacos. After a year, I still get excited to get tacos from Los Palomos. I always order the same thing, 4 tacos al pastor, and if I'm really up for a cheat day, I'll get one of their massive cups of horchata or pinas aguas fresca (warning though, if you go later on the night, which I do sometimes go right before midnight, they'll be sold out of most their drinks). I've tried their carne asada and chorizo and both are amazing, but their al pastor is just too good to pass up. A year ago, they only had tacos but they've since added quesadillas, tortas, and burritos (which is my boyfriend's go to: al pastor burrito con todo). Salsas, guac, onions, cilantro, limes, etc are all prepped in gigantic tubs to the right of the stand after you get your food and they've set up tables to sit too. I think most people just take their food, bag up their limes/salsas, and either eat in their cars or at home (it is still covid). Overall, amazing al pastor, amazing family business, amazing overall! I always recommend this place to all my friends and family that come over. Also, it used to be cash only but they added a Venmo option!! read more

Been eyeing this taco spot for a while and finally made the plunge. I think I originally saw it in LA Eater. I went pretty early and there was no line. I know they are known for their Al pastor so I stuck with that and got two tacos and a vampiro. The Al Pastor was very good. I enjoyed eating the vampiro better because of the cheese and crunch, but both items were good. I tried a couple of the green salsas that it came with and I think they took away from the pastor, so I preferred them dry. The staff was very nice and genuinely seemed happy to be there and serve. Great flavor. Great service. Great price. Was close to 5 stars for me. read more

I have been buying tacos, burritos and other items from this Stan for the last three years. I have never been disappointed and I honestly can't say that I drive to this location even though there are several other trucks and taco stands next to my house. My favorite is the marinated pork and Suadero beef. The tongue is also good and they serve your choice of meat on several dishes. There are many toppings that you can choose from I advise that you were gloves or use the utensils. The atmosphere is friendly and everything is cooked fresh and to order . Price-wiseThis place is in the medium range dollar 50 for a taco seven dollars for a burrito plus other small fees for additional meat . I think the five star rating says it all! read more

The service was outstanding it's a great location for street Tacos! What stands out the most for me was the Al Pastor with a piece of traditional pineapple for the Tacos.. flavor the salas are on point!! I came from Monterey area and this is a hidden Gem!! Also try there Vampiros with potatoes legit!! If you don't mind eating on the fly in your car or outside this is your place definitely coming back!! read more

First and foremost, it's a taquero de la calle in front of Walgreens! They have a great atmosphere and pretty clean! The taqueros are really helpful and the service is fast! They have a variety of different items to order. I really recommend the tacos de pastor! They are really delicious! They also have a different variety of aguas frescas ! This a place I really enjoyed and recommend you give it a try if you're in the area! read more

Wowza. I think these are the best Al pastor tacos I've ever had. Even better than when I go to Jalisco. The line is always long but goes so fast. The tortillas are made fresh to order as well. Abundant meat options and salsa bar. I haven't ordered the tortas but everytime I'm there I watch them make it and want one. Would highly recommend giving this place a try. read more

Delicious!!! Definitely worth waiting in the cold for. I really loved their Al pastor anything lol

This is the best el pastor I've had in the past five years since I moved to L.A. It's not greasy, it's not too fatty, and it's always juicy and tender and a little crispy and has sweetness from the pineapple...perfection. Get tacos for sure, but the burritos are also amazing (and I usually get two meals from a burrito). If you go early you'll beat the crowds. Cash only. There are several locations throughout the valley! read more

I decided to try this place since my son was hungry and I must say it definitely impressed me. Awesome flavor and fast service. The corn tortilla tacos are smaller than usual but still worth it. read more

Literally the best tacos I've ever had in the San Fernando Valley!! Do yourself & God a favor and please stop here for some tacos. The buche tacos are personally my favorite but they're all so good. The guys that work here are so friendly and very fast they always have a long line here they even have a lady to the left making fresh tortillas so that's always great.

Really good tacos! Will keep looking for their stall anywhere in the valley. The guys are friendly too.

Well, the pastor taco was really good, but the carne asada burrito, not so much! The meat didn't have much taste and the rice RUINED it. It tasted old and wasn't cooked all the way, so it was hard & dry! Ended up throwing most of it away. 9 bucks down the drain.... read more

Came here last night to grab a bite to eat, we ordered 1 al pastor burrito, chorizo quesadilla, and 5 tacos of asada. The al pastor was good the flavor was there but the asada and chorizo was just ok. It was extremely greasy my wife didn't even finish it. Total bill was 32 dollars eith an ochata its worth a try but if you have had good meats before, you can definitely tell the difference with good and cheap meats read more

Los Palomos - Tacos Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This taco stand is located on Sherman Way and Mason, right across from the Walgreens. The smell of the food when you get near the taco stand is incredible. The food tastes delicious. Everything is cooked on a charcoal grill. I would have easily given this place a 5/5 rating, but I was very concerned when I ordered from this place. For starters, the cook was allowing customers to grab the grilled jalapeño peppers with their bare hands. The salsas, cilantro, onions and other add-ons were also allowed to be touched by the customers. At times like these with the pandemic going around, there should be way more precaution. Things should be pre-packaged to abide by regulations. If it wasn't for those concerns, this place would easily be read more

Tacos are a staple across LA. From highly priced tacos at restaurants, to local market where generations of families visit weekly for decades. But, for the true LA taco scene you must visit a taco cart. They are everywhere. It's usually harder to find parking than to find a taco stand. And, when you find the one, it's like finding a second home. La Palomos is thee place. Between the perfectly sliced al pastor from a trompo, to smokey asada cooked over charcoal. Los Palomos makes you look forward to the next time you will visit. AND, the Walgreens' parking is just the cherry on top. read more

I bought food here a few days ago, the food wasn't that great nothing extra ordinary, the attitude that they have boat loads of it, the man in charge was even calling people that came and bought food from them stupid, for coming and buying food before they were officially open, if they were not ready why sell food to some and told others they were not ready to sell anything, even the woman that charges for the food here is rude, I wouldn't go back here even if the tacos were as good as some people claim they are here, I bought asada and al pastor tacos and they were nothing special. Also there were flies all over the agua frescas and salsa bar. read more
