Full setup, lots of parking space in the Walgreen's lot behind them
Curtis K.

A hidden gem in a Walgreen's parking lot. Sizzling meats grilled right in front of you and a serve-yourself toppings bar with plenty of fresh add-ons. Friendly staff and fun, upbeat music. The al pastor is authentic and amazing.

Trompo!!

Very good place to eat late tacos. The tacos and quesadillas are awesome. Super tasty and well served. The location is perfect in a corner and it has the Walgreens parking behind so it's easy to go in your car. The service is friendly and super fast. I would recommend this place to everyone who wants to have a good Mexican bite at night. The atmosphere is secure.

Been meaning to try this place since my boss raved about it a while back and finally dropped by yesterday! We came by right after work so it was still empty with maybe like 2 other people ahead of us. Luckily parking is convenient over at the Walgreens that they are in front of. They have long tables and stools that are laid out for you to sit on but we ended up taking our food home to enjoy. Absolutely delicious and still fresh when we got home. They are super organized and have all the little sauce cups and little baggies for you to grab whatever sides you want. The food was prepared so quickly too. I love that the tacos are small but still filled with a ton of meat. The horchata is definitely one of the best I've had and they had it in the biggest cup ever with barely any ice so that you get the most out of it! Super sweet staff and excellent food. Glad we finally got to try it, especially since we always pass by it on the way home almost daily. IG: @ammysalamii

Came here on a Saturday night. There was a long line waiting for the goods, so I decided to join. The ambiance was similar to other popular taco stands. There was a communal table to eat your food along with others. The folks here were super friendly and helpful as well. The food itself is really good. I would say just as good as any really delicious taco stand place in LA. My usual for new places is a mulita and two tacos. For this, I got a suadero mulita and two Al pastor tacos. These were all really well done. Plus, I love the fact that you get to dress up your own tacos with their salsa and accoutrement bar. I got a strawberry horchata to wash it down. Definitely will hit this place up when I'm in the area. Always love a great taco standard truck. I found parking easily on the street but noticed that a lot of people park in the parking lot right behind it.

Cute spot, very clean staff all very busy but still have time tontine care of your order which is…read morevery admirable. The tacos de cabeza!!!!! Wow they are amazing. The way the perfect thin tortilla just lets you taste all the meat and sauce perfectly (I want some as I'm writing this). I can really see why this place is so popular.

Had this bookmarked for ages!…read more I showed up on Sunday night at 815p and there were only two parties ahead of me. I read rumors of lines, but YMMV depending on when you show up. The menu is quite simple, but beware that no prices are listed on the main menu, but they are on the paper menus. They accept Apple Pay/credit cards. I ordered the asada burrito and the pollo caramelo and added the grilled poblano (as recommended on Yelp!). The tortillas were the true stars -- soft, nice chew, with a buttery mouth feel (probably lard). The fillings were just ok. The inside reminded me of a Taco Bell 7 layer burrito -- a lot going on but all the flavors kinda blend together. I (incorrectly) thought the beans were refried, but they are not. Whatever is going on inside, I didn't find much structure. The burrito was the best. The caramelo was a lazily folded burrito. I read that it was like a quesadilla, but I couldn't disagree more. I would skip this next time. I spent $25 and it was a lot of food, but I wasn't impressed, especially given the hype and the fact that LA should really be the pinnacle of Mexican food. Not sure if I'll make a second trip here.

Delicious and authentic Mexican food and tacos at this street spot! Among some of the best and a…read moregood stop for visitors in LA! 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.

AMAZING food! Visited twice so far (latest: May 2026), and had the queso burrito with carne asada…read moreboth times. I've been meaning to try the other items on their menu, but it was so good the first time that I had to order it again. The portions are *very* generous, and they had the usual sides readily available on the side: lemons, cucumbers, sliced radish, grilled onions and peppers, etc. Also had a bite of their corn quesadilla... the tortilla was soooo good. They had the masa on the side and were making the tortillas fresh and by hand. Yum. Payment: - They take Apple pay! :) Parking: - We found street parking nearby thankfully, but it might be hard to find in general due to the area. Seating: - They have seating to the left of their grill (tables, folding chairs, a tarp overhead). Depending on the time of day, sometimes the shade doesn't quite cover your face--the sun was setting and hitting us right in the eyes, so we switched sides to sit facing away from the sun once those seats were available.

$12 and can feed a small family. Best when it's hot. Good but I found several pieces of gristle. I really hate when that happens.

I delayed writing this review to really think through, and now I will confidently say--these are…read moreeasily the best tacos I've ever had. 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!

My friend said, this place had bomb tacos and tacos are my favorite especially when coming to LA,…read morehowever this place fell short on my expectations. The tostada was very hard and chewy thought I was going to brake a tooth. Asada meat and guacamole on the tostada had no salt. The only thing I was able to taste was the spicy salsa, which it's extremely spicy. My chorizo taco cold and the mulita was okay. Tortillas hand made which that's a plus Agua fresca de pineapple tasted water down too much just tasted the water with hint of pineapple. If you new to this place just know that you can ask for frijoles de la olla on the side they are free. I did like that they had grill onions and it's self serve. Street parking available, but know area not the best to be in. Tables have about 3 incase you planning eat there, & if super hungry know you will be waiting for a long time. It's really cool know it's a tire shop during the day and a taco shop in evenings. This place is very laid back attired unfortunately no music playing.

I honestly still can't believe I managed to snag a reservation. I know how hard these are to get,…read moreso I went in with pretty high expectations...and somehow it still exceeded them. I've been a fan of Holbox for a while, but the tasting menu is a completely different experience. Every course was thoughtful, beautifully prepared, and just ridiculously good. There wasn't a single dish where I thought, "Eh, I could've skipped that." You can really see why they've earned the Michelin recognition--it's so well deserved. What I appreciated most was that nothing felt overdone or pretentious. It was just incredible food, amazing ingredients, and a team that's clearly passionate about what they do. If you ever get lucky enough to score a reservation, don't even think twice. It's one of those meals you'll be talking about long after it's over.

100% worth the wait. Arrived at around 6:30 pm on a Saturday and we ordered about 45 minutes later…read more While the line looks intimidating, it is very organized with staff managing the line and they do keep it moving. They've added more outdoor seating right outside the market + a few spots in the parking lot courtyard. If you're looking for a slightly quieter environment, outside is preferable. As for parking, the lot directly attached to the market is small and paid, but the DMV has opened the back gate allowing much more free parking if you head to the back corner of the market's lot. Overall, food is 10/10, no notes!

I was looking for a taco spot with good reviews in the area and stumbled upon this gem of a taco…read morestand in the side of the road. These were truly the epitome of street tacos and absolutely nothing about the vibe, the service, and the FOOD, disappointed. Immediately upon arrival, I noticed the long line of people and said to myself, either this place is really good or really slow. It took me longer to decide what I wanted to try than what it took for the line to move and for it to be my turn to order. So yea, these folks are FAST and very courteous as well. They have real Al Pastor on the trompo (the spit) so of course I ordered pastor tacos and a pastor mulita. I also ordered a few SUADERO tacos which you don't find just anywhere. I am still raving about the amount of meat and flavor of the food here, it's insanely delicious. Once you get your food you make your way down to the end of the taco stand where you are met with an amazing array of fresh taco fixings and salsas. The pink creamy-habanero was the best and the green/red salsas followed right behind. I can't wait to go back to this place. It's mind blowing how a stand on the side of the road puts out better quality food than a brick/mortar taco shop..but these guys know exactly what they are doing and it was a pleasure to try their food. 20 out of 10 for this place.

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.

Driving by I always see a line and read an article recently that Sonoratown is officially…read morerecognized in the California Michelin Guide - makes sense! 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.
