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.

When visiting the iconic Olvera Street, why not try original things. Serving El Lay since 1934,…read moreCielito Lindo brings to you their famous taquitos and avocado sauce. AMBIANCE Parking: Welcome to El Lay, it gets packed. Your best bets are street parking some metered parking but definitely do public transit if it's offered. Seating: They have some tables for you to chill but other than that, it's a good grab and go spot to just enjoy the Olvera Street atmosphere. Vibes: Los Angeles is very unique as no parts of the city are the same. This pays roots to the Hispanic roots. Eating here feels like eating a piece of Los Angeles history. You're surrounded by colorful market stalls, mariachi music, and the energy of Olvera Street, the experience is about more than just the food. This isn't a flashy restaurant--it's a historic food stand that has earned its reputation through consistency, tradition, and community. Great place for a quick food adventure - fulfilling an appetite or taking a bite out of history. FOOD Original Taquitos & Avocado Sauce (Recommend) You got to explore the hype while you're here right? The taquitos had a good crisp on the outside while the shredded beef inside remained tender and flavorful. The sauce was nothing too flashy but I guess it was ahead of it's time. A mix of guac and soothing creamy avocado flavors. It helps bring a tangy yet packed bite in your tortillas. CUSTOMER SERVICE Friendly and awesome! Straight business and good service. TL;DR OVERALL 4 Stars. Good selections, reasonable prices, and a pleasant experience. As a long term resident in the City of Angels, it's an honor to try a part of history. Nothing too flashy but a great place to experience. till next time, Cielito Lindo! TIPS * Visit while exploring Olvera Street so you can enjoy the surrounding shops and history.

The oil feels dark and tasty strange. The taquitos are overpriced and too fried. The area is very bad and there's no parking anywhere. It's in my opinion after going there a million times in the past ... at this point in the year 2026 you can find better quality food better quality tacos, better prices in 1 million different areas of the city, county and state. I say skip this one and go somewhere else.

We love their Amboy Classic Double with a toasted sesame seed bun, a thinly smashed patty, with American cheese, caramelized Onions, pickles, and a great burger sauce. It is about $12.00. Their Amboy DH is more, about 21$ but worth it with a great toasted sesame bun, a great DH 10oz dry aged patty, with cheese and all the fixings that go with that. It does not matter what burger you get. They are all great.

It didn't have much flavor. The four loose pork meatballs looked good but weren't that tasty. It was also topped with wide strips of raw ginger, scallions, white pepper, a bit of soy sauce (?), and a soft-boiled egg.

Salsa dispensers ( yes, you heard right) that are purely made for high volume mexican food settings ( though I've never seen green sauce squirted out like ketchup before). A loudspeaker and ticket with your number for easy food pick up. It's efficient! It's clean! It has neon lights on the back of the truck!! One one hand, its dirt cheap. $3 for a burrito is unheard of. Just what are you ingesting in that hot little foil wrapped package anyway? I like that their beans are NOT refried- just smooth and texture friendly. The rice is okay, nothing to die for, or die of. (it's WHITE! No offense, gringos) The green sauce, is, well, green sauce. I won't have a heart attack if they run out, not like King Taco which is the KING of green salsa. On that other hand, if you're drunk/broke/tired/hungry, drop by for a quick fix. It's probably just as bad as that $10 greasy thing you had at Acapulco/Fred's Mexican/ El Cholo / Olive Garden/ or, god forbid, DOÑA ROSA's in pasadena, but at least you're not set back $15 for a mediocre food experience. In fact, it might seem spectacular because you really spent $4! I mean, even if it was crappy, who cares. Write it off as Bad Debt.
