    Super salty pozole with no cabbage or tortilla chips as claimed it would come
    Karen B.

    First and last time I order from this place. The pics speak for themselves. Super salty food, missing items, and rotten ingredients.

    The cashier is always very attentive. He offers me coffee and makes he knows my usual. I recommend this place bc it's always clean

    I've had issues with this location before but not like today the manager was rude unprofessional and seemed bothered that I called to complain about my food being made wrong and missing items he offered to replace the burrito but with a rude attitude I ordered a wet carne asada burrito with avocado and got a burrito stuffed with sausage and no avocado I don't know if the cook did it on purpose or if it's because I've been ordering often but this sucks because they serve really good food and now I don't even want to order anymore due to me being scared they're gonna mes with my food I guess they don't really care of losing customers ‍

    Burgers just come with cheese, lettuce, tomato, and a ton of Mayo. Don't recommend it's like making them at home but it's 1000 times worse. Fries were unseasoned and bland.

    Ordered 2 servings of Caldo de Res, oh that was regrettable. The soup had no taste, the beef shank was super dry (overcooked), and it was tough (needed to hold piece to bite). The potato in the soup serving was undercooked. 2 lengua soft tacos weren't any better. Sad. We wanted to give a place a chance, and we learned. Stick to where you know. Not returning.

    Torta Cubano, which actually stayed the watermark, was used to title this picture.

    The Torta Cubana's are awesome! I always get mine with no tomato and no avocado but even with tomato they are good. The tacos are way better than I expected, the al pastor is definitely my favorite.

    This grilled fish burrito is BOMB definitely worth a try! Plus the salsa is delicious

    This place isn't fancy but it's DELICIOUS- I get the grilled fish burrito and the red sauce at least 2x a week! I love that they are open till 11:30. Don't mind the riff raff in the area and just give this spot a try! I have also tried their Caldo De Res soup and it was BOMB def will order again.

    I had menudo & taco de camarones (shrimp taco). It's just average. I have had better and they didn't provide any oregano for the menudo. The shrimp taco was made with fried shrimp $2. It opens early & closes late. Will try their birria next, since it seems to be their specialty. They take cash/visa/master.

    01JAN2020 RIP Homer Montes Garcia. I dropped into this 24 hours dive for midnight munchies on a Friday night. I asked the order taker/cashier/cook what's a popular item on the photo wall menu and he said the nachos. Guess what, no more discussion that's what I ordered. The nacho chips were fresh, the carne asada okay, I asked for chicken but....and the toppings were decent. There are many late night eateries in the area but few are open 24 hours, I might stop by in the future to try out something else.

    Menudo, real strong "aroma".

    I don't enjoy giving 1 star reviews because I know it can affect small business so I went with 2, should really be a 1 though. I was craving menudo so we got delivery from this place. We also ordered the pozole and some nachos. The menudo tripe had the most pungent odor, so it probably wasn't prepped correctly. Broth was a weird orange color. No oregano, no dried chili included, but that was ok we have some at home. I love menudo. I tried putting a lot of lime and chili, I microwaved multiple times, like 10 minutes. Nothing would kill that smell and taste. I tried it, I just couldn't do it, I tossed it away. I just hope the tripe was not prepped right and not that it actually went bad. Crossing fingers I don't have a sore stomach later. Nachos with stale chips, had to use our own, this wasn't do to a prolonged delivery time. The chips were just stale. The Pozole, was okay. We ended up sharing it. On a good note, they have Mexican Coca Cola.

    Great chips with very spicy salsa

    Everyone equates Los Angeles with the film industry. It is a major presence. This includes street closures caused by filming. The local bus stop was blocked and given my mobility limitations I couldn't walk to where I could catch a bus. Given an empty larder delivery was the best option. Felt a hankering for Mexican. I went a bit wild, ordering chips, a carnitas burrito AND chicken enchilada dinner. Chips were not oily or salty, just the way I like them. The burrito was oversized and while enjoyable felt as if it had a lot of filler instead of meat plus rather uninspired green sauce topping. Ah, but the enchiladas were tasty with tue perfect accompaniment of rice and beans. Henceforth I will skip the so-so burrito but certainly order the enchilada plate again. Yum!

    It's really convenient how they're open 24/7 here in the DTLA area. The workers work really hard. They're friendly to the homeless people and they accept EBT. They could use some renovation of the dining area. and redesigning of their menu so you can see the prices better. The food is okay. The sauces weren't spicy. They were just meant to add flavor. It's one of the few places in downtown where you can find food under $10 after tax.

I came here for dinner on a week night and my experience here was pretty good. I had the asada and al pastor tacos with all the toppings and they were both so good and full of meat and heat. The toppings can be spicy for some, so be warned. My favorite of the two was the all pastor which was flavorful and I did like the thinly shaved meat. It was not dry at all and was fresh. I also tried the mulita with al pastor meat and that was also soso good. Cheesy, meaty, and indulgent. The additional topping section had good variety with pickled onions, cucumbers, etc. and everything seemed pretty fresh. Unfortunately, they were pretty much out of the roasted pepper and grilled onions at the time I went. To drink, I had the horchata and that was also very delicious. It was huge, sweet, and creamy. I also loved how it was not grainy at all. A good pairing with the rich foods. They also have a good amount of seating at the stand with a long table and multiple chairs. Parking is tricky since its street parking only.

Having been to so many taco stands, I think what makes Tire Shop Taqueria really stand out are the right-off-the-grill charcoal-grilled meats, the freshly made tortillas literally in front of you as you are waiting on line, and the free guacamole that comes with each taco. The ordering process is like any other taco stand, though one difference is here the salsas/guacamole are all handled by the staff. If you'd like more of something, just ask them instead of reaching for the ladle yourself. There is a separate area though for grilled onions/peppers and radishes you can serve yourself. I got the asada, chorizo, cabeza, and al pastor, and they were all so good. The asada and chorizo are specifically grilled over charcoal, and that flavor really shines through. I loved how meaty and tender the cabeza was too, and the classic al pastor hit the spot. They have large communal tables setup, so it is a great friendly vibe to enjoy your meal I will say, the surrounding area is not the best in LA, especially given how the taco stand is only open at night. The parking lot is quite small, so I parked on a side street that had some abandoned cars, but of course, if you are in/from LA, this is not that new for us. I would hesitate if I am a tourist though to make it out here. Anyhow, the food really is worth it here, and I can't wait to be back!

We found easy street parking in the neighborhood on 41st Street, and waited in line for about 15-20 minutes. We ordered the asada tacos. They pre-sauce your tacos, which was fine by me, but my boyfriend who can't handle as much spice would've preferred it on the side (so warning for anyone similar! they do put a little habanero on them, so just ask them for salsa on the side). I think I ran into a problem of reading too many raving reviews -- these tacos were good but I was expecting them to be mind blowing, so I was a little disappointed. I tasted the charcoal char, but kind of wished the taste was more pronounced, or at least the meat more seasoned. The hand made tortillas were definitely the coolest part, but I thought they were a little dry too. The ladies whipping those out are artists though. Actually, all the workers here have the assembly line down to the tea, and they definitely add a little flare for a show. I particularly liked how they had a lot of seating at this location, instead of just a couple stools lying around like most taco trucks. It felt more like outdoor patio seating than a normal taco stand. They could probably take more time to wipe down tables more often though. Overall would visit again if in the area, but wouldn't go out of my way for the tacos here.

I like that they were open late to satisfy a late night taco craving. Even though there is typically a line they are quite efficient with orders and even have a parking lot/outdoor dining space in addition to their indoor space so it doesn't feel cramped. It was my first visit so I had to get a mix of their tacos and burritos with the various meats they serve. It was a nice fact to know their tortillas have some lard also so it adds a nice flavor as well. + Burrito 2.0 (asada) + Chivichanga (chicken and beef) + Tacos (chorizo, tripe, cabeza, asada) I enjoyed the burrito with asada and thought it was good portion size for the cost. The guac, cheese, and beans pair well with the meat and has a nice grill on the tortilla. The tacos were a solid size as well but I was surprised to find the tripe as my favorite because they fry it and it adds a nice crunch/texture change. The cabeza was a close second with the stewed flavors. The chivichangas were also tasty but not the traditional chimichanga I was anticipating. It's definitely on the softer side as everything mixes together and there's not much of a texture change. Worth trying if you are curious though. I ordered to go so I didn't see if they have a salsa bar but I did have to pay $.10 per to go container which would be nice if they were free. However, I liked mixing their red and green salsa with each bite. I am curious to try their avocado salsa next time. Overall, I thought the portion sizes were good for the prices and I felt full afterwards.
