Luckily, our Airbnb was only about a 5-minute drive away. Located in a parking lot, this spot was bustling at 1 AM. Service was fast and speedy, and they have a self-serve bar stocked with all the fixings, including salsas, onions, cilantro, and the BEST creamy avocado sauce I've ever tried. Everything was super affordable too! My favorites were the asada and lengua tacos. Definitely adding this to my return list for my next trip to LA!

You tell one person what your order is, walk up to the register, and then load up on toppings/salsas. It's $2.50 a taco on the smaller sides which isn't a bad deal in this economy. Great that it's open 24/7. There's an awning but no seats though, so you'll have to eat at your car. Got the carne asada, pastor, cabeza, and lengua. The carne asada and lengua were super disappointing - dry and bland. The pastor was and cabeza were better, but nothing special. Appreciate the free potato with each order, and toppings included grilled onions, fresh onions and cilantro, salsas, limes, and radishes.

Nonetheless, the pastor was still amazing and it's great that they add copious amounts of meat on there. The various toppings and hot sauces are also very delicious, albeit the light orange mayo looking sauce is SPICY and unassuming...beware! Light green avocado looking sauce definitely saved my life. My friend also got a burrito and I heated it up the next day to enjoy and it still tasted awesome. My review might be slightly skewed as Mexican food is depressing up in Canada so any semblance of authentic Mexican food gets me going. I will have to return to LA soon...just for the tacos here.

I do like how they grill their meat though and they use the tortillas to scoop up the meat on the grill. Thought the al pastor was a bit salty and the cheese did not add much flavor to it, but that's probably a good thing considering the saltiness of the meat. Also, make sure you ask them for pineapples since they did not include it until we asked. They do have them sliced up in a container by the meats. Ambience is very casual and it's a stand while eating type of situation. Service was quick.

The seasonings or the way they cook - the flavors and textures are better than a lot of other places I've had tacos from. I got two carne asada and two al pastor tacos. Total as of early 9/2025 was just $10 for four tacos! We came here on a weeknight a little before they were packing up for the night, so the vibe was chill. They also have a good spread of salsas and a DIY fresh toppings area. I just found this taco stand in East Hollywood because I was leaving a comedy show and it was on the later side. Most places were either closed or closing. Saw this place and it seemed perfect for a quick bite that wasn't a big strain on the wallet.

You can tell that Omar truly knows what he's doing -- every dish is packed with authentic flavor and made with care. The portions are generous, the service is excellent, and the overall experience keeps me coming back. If you're craving amazing kabobs, do yourself a favor and check out Molly Kabob.

The hours of operation seem too good to be true, like, there is actually a place where you can get falafel no matter how late you get out of work. This is a throwback to NY or European and Middle Eastern culture where restaurants stay open throughout the night.. As the other review mentioned, yes, the restaurant shares a store with a taco joint, which goes to explain the odd hours. I actually had a bit of trouble ordering, until my friend had the brilliant idea to order through uber eats and chose to pick up. It seems the restaurant gets most of their business through delivery orders. The falafel once we got it was out of this world. Crispy and light on the outside, smooth and savory on the inside. I wanna try the Free Palestine sandwich next! Definitely will be back to support this burgeoning business.

In the meantime,…read morethey're open from 8PM to 5AM (perfect hours for those participating in Ramadan) and they share the same kitchen and restaurant as Baja California Taco. This restaurant specializes in falafel and boy, they are yummy. It's hard coming home from work around midnight and not being able to fulfill any cravings because everything would be closed; so this was perfect! The door was locked and the owner was inside and had to open it for me. We chatted a little while he put together my falafel sandwich fresh off the grill. Everything was take-out only so there was really no ambiance to base anything on. The falafels were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside and I asked him to add all the sides in there, which looks like cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, hummus, and a spicy sauce mixture. I would love to see their menus expand at some point in the future, and this side of town could really use some more delicious Middle Eastern food! Would definitely come back again! P.S. It's so hard taking good pictures of a falafel sandwich
