How am I just discovering Avenue 26 Tacos?! This spot is amazing and may have the best street tacos…read moreI've ever tried (and that says a lot because LA has so many good Mexican food options). I ordered the carne asada tacos and the brisket tacos and both were soooo delicious! They have a self serve toppings and salsa bar, so you can customize your tacos to what you liked. I'm a big fan of spicy foods and my tolerance to spice is pretty high, but the red salsa has a kick to it--so be warned. This spot is super casual but has a very large setup. Service here is very efficient and they are open 24/7 so there's no limit as to when you can get your taco fix. There's plenty of parking which gets extra points in my book, especially because that's typically hard to find in the area. There aren't any tables to eat at, but a lot of people ate standing or by their parked cars. If I could give this spot more than 5-stars I would. If you come here, trust me, you won't be disappointed.

My friends have taken me here and every time it hits the spot. It's located in a parking lot and…read moremost of the time there is some parking available. It is a 24 hour spot so anytime I'm enjoying a night out I need a quick snack or a meal, I stop by here. Their lines go pretty quickly if you're visiting during meal times, but they have their whole set up to be as efficient as possible. When ordering, you'll go up and order your items I always get tacos, but I've heard the other items are delicious as well. You get one free potato per person and I highly recommend grabbing one. Once you grab your potato, you'll head over to the cashier while you'll pay for your items. If you want any drinks, you can order it as well. Once you're finished paying, they have a salsa bar with onions and cilantro and limes. My usual is their Al pastor tacos! It's a tried and true method for me. Note that there isn't any seating, most people stand up and eat or head back to their car and eat on their trunks or inside their car. There's trash cans all around and I believe there are some porta potties. It's a great spot to hit up if you're hungry and need some tacos in your life. Make sure you clean up after yourself. This is a great spot!

Came here to try the al pastor & asada. The tacos were very good and delicious. The char on both…read moremeats were very good but still tender to the taste. There was a lot of flavor in both meats that went well with the condiments. The salsas themselves were decent and the staff was very nice and chill. They do take virtual wallet payments which is convenient when you don't have cash. This place is located at a car repair shop so parking might be a bit odd or potentially scarce.

Sadly, it's just not the same anymore. The quality has noticeably declined, from the meat to the…read moretortillas. With taco stands on nearly every corner and even another taco spot right next door, the competition is tough. An average taco just doesn't stand out anymore. I hope they're able to get back to the quality they were once known for, but I probably won't be returning to find out.

Legit has become one of my fav Tacos Al Pastor spot…read more Mexi-Papa recommended the tacos de Tripita, gotta try it next time, I even stayed away from the Birria had just the Al Pastor. They have the Al Pastor trompo(spit) spinning all day. I got Al Pastor and tried them doraditos, they shave the meat and slightly sear it on the flat top. Parking sucks, and it is in the hood. But totally worth the drive if you are in the area. Place is in a corner parking lot, limited seating I got mine to go. Staff and person taking orders are used to the non-spanish crowd. Try them out dont let the language barrier hold you back.

I got the carne asada tacos, al pastor tacos, and a mulitas. My favorite was definitely the mulitas because I love cheese! They are known for their carne asada, but I actually preferred their al pastor because it was so juicy.

gotta get the chorizo and asada y chorizo mixto. not sure if they usually chop up the chorizo, but…read morethey were very kind towards the end of the night and just gave us the whole pieces. worked out well bc it's a lot less crumbly and super meaty! the workers here are always friendly and get a kick out of my spanglish lol. ambience is casual and smoky. parking is a little tough but doable in the neighborhood / main street. we like salsa on the side bc it tends to be pretty spicy. no restroom, but the laundromat next door is open late and is a quarter to use the restroom. def in the top 2 la taco spots for me! happy i came back and gave it another try after my spicy first experience years ago. :)

I just found the perfect hidden gem in south LA! It's called raspados naturales. They have an…read moreassortment of flavors, all with real fruit. They have 2 sizes regular $3 & large $5. It is located inside the premises of the auto repair shop on the left hand side. They have a cute seating area as well. Definitely recommend if your in the area. They are open from Monday-Saturday from 1pm-6pm. I tried the mixed berries $3 raspado which was sweet & refreshing.

Haven't seen the pop-up the last couple times I drove by on Friday, but once the street parking was…read morefilled with buses, and with recent rains, can't set up all the time I guess. Today I was driving North on San Pedro to run work errands, not even thinking of bbq. But then it hit me, the smell and smoke through my window and I turned left to see the pop-up! Corner of 15th & San Pedro, set up is across the street from the LA Face mart. If you get near by I am sure you will see it or smell it:) Swung by after my lunch time errands, excited to get me some briskets again. But not today... Only the ribs, hot links, chicken were available this day. No worries, went for the $10 hot links to try something different. The hot links were good, the inside texture was smooth, don't think I've had this kind before. It definitely has kick, and definitely need to eat with bread. For my weak taste buds, it was too spicy and it literally took a lot of sweat, but ate it all up since still addicting. Been about 10 mins since I cleaned up, but I am still kinda perspiring, lol. I think for me personally, the hot links is 3 stars, since I can't enjoy as much while pouring sweat from my head. But then I'm weak (I pour sweat eating the mild green salsa from King Taco for reference). If you can handle the heat, I think it would be a 4. Hot links seem like a good item to get for the $5 sandwich. But then not sure if you get that crack potato salad! Will be on the lookout next time to see if they have briskets.

The only reason why I'm giving them 4 instead of 5 stars is because they have changed the tortillas! They used to be hand made but now they just give you packet tortillas.

Please bring back the handmade tortillas!
