    Chicken tacos
    Maansi S.

    You get a lot of meat for the price! I spent $7.50 for these 3 tacos. Heads up that it's cash only or venmo. They have only 1 table to sit so also keep that in mind. The food was delicious and I'd take friends there after a night out or DTLA concert.

    Look for the yellow trailer!

    I'm in LA for work, so my kids have been recommending places to me. This one is amazing! Taco Zone is the real deal. Their food is simple, yet spectacular. I had a couple suadero mulitos and a lengua mulito. My dinner companions enjiyed veggie mulitos. All were perfect. When suadero, lengua, and cabeza is on the menu, you know it's authentic. The staff is friendly and the service was quick. Definitely a place I'd come back to.

    Vegan Supreme Taco

    Got some tacos from this truck in Echo Park and have to say it's one of the best. It doesn't look like much to be honest. Taco Zone is more about the actual food though. Pretty cheap prices as far as anything that's around it. You can get meaty or vegetarian friendly ones, whichever. A lot of these taco trucks are around here. It's easy to confuse these with each other. This one is usually located in the parking lot in front of Vons. It even has a table you can eat at. You go and order from the truck, and it's usually not a long wait. It's about $2 for tacos, so it's cheap. We got some of the Vegan Supreme Tacos. Loaded with filling. These had avocados, beans, and rice. Have some cheap ass tacos from here. It's in the parking lot on Alvarado just north of Sunset. There's lots of options for vegans and vegetarians.

    No frills taco shop that will likely be one of usual spots!! You place your order at the counter and pay in cash. They have many varieties. My favorites were the tripa and suadero. They also are self serve in the salsa and topping selection. The red one packs quite a kick so be careful! Each taco is $2.50 and they seem small but have so much meat, it's so worth it!! Also this is right next to the Vons so parking is easy!

    Pollo and Asada Tacos
    Ellie R.

    Quick service for the right price with an extensive walk up toppings bar! Meats were shredded and dry, though my friend said the Lengua was much better. Perfect for a late night bite.

    Always get the mulitas de suadero. They do it the best here. Add the Avocado salsa, green salsa and onions. Must try

    The suadero mulita...not many more things on this still somewhat green earth that I love more than the suadero mulita here. I mean seriously, I even included it has one of the items I would want as my last meal on my profile, LOL. I legit was looking into trying to hire them to cater one of my milestone birthdays as well. I've been going here for years... came here when I lived on the west side and visited friends in the area. Then when I got a job downtown and moved to Silverlake about 10 yrs ago, I used to eat here at least 2 nights a week on my way home from work. The tacos and burritos here are great, but my usual go to is 1-2 mulitas and 2 tacos. For the tacos I tend to order the pork. The folks here are always very kind and I love that you get to dress up your own tacos with the light green sauce being my fave. It's pretty much a no-brainer that I would come back. As a matter of fact, it is a personal tradition that I hit this place up every time I go to a Dodger game either before or after. And I mean every time. The prices for the most part seem to have been consistent so I never worry about showing how many here. This is one of the places where I will take buddies to and out of towners to when I wanna introduce him to one my favorite foods in the world.

    Suadero, asada, and pastor tacos
    Nichole D.

    I've driven past this place plenty of times late at night and notice that there is usually a good amount of people waiting in line. So, I decided to check out their reviews and was not too shocked when I saw that they had pretty good reviews on both Google and Yelp. After reading so many reviews, it was clear that anything "suadero" was a must. I ordered a suadero burrito, while my girlfriend ordered suadero, asada, and al pastor tacos. I must say that I was impressed with being able to get your own salsas as most places did away with this during covid, making it less ideal to get as many salsas as you want...so for that, I do commend them and that's the sole purpose of me giving them 3 stars. However, let's talk about the most important thing: meat. The suadero was AT BEST a 2.5/5. I have had suadero in the past, and being that it is a pretty tough meat, it needs to be slow cooked. The way they do it here just doesn't do it for me, but I can't speak for everybody else who loves crunchy meat apparently. I would much rather just order carnitas since it tasted like that anyway. It was crunchy, and some pieces just tasted like burnt ends. My girlfriend's "carne asada" was mushy meat, and no actual separate pieces to see. Overall (and sadly), the salsa bar is the best part about this place. Might be good for drunk people, after hours, when taste buds are confused because sober me was not impressed.

    2 mulitas and 1 taco!
    Daryl D.

    I've been coming to Taco Zone for so many years and I still keep coming back. Coming here, I was introduced to mulitas. A simple way to describe it is a mini quesadilla but so much better. I love their tacos, burritos, mulitas, quesadillas and the horchata. I get what I feel like when I'm ordering. Usually, it's some sort of combination of mulita and taco. Prices have slowly risen throughout the years, but of course still reasonable.

I've ordered them multiple times with clear instructions on temperature and have found them overcooked and tough. The beef tostada was just ok.

Located between Koreatown and Pico-Union, this restaurant delivers an outstanding dining experience from the moment you're seated. My wife and I both ordered the Mole Coloradito with chicken, and it was absolutely delicious. One detail we really appreciated was being able to choose between white meat or dark meat--a thoughtful touch that lets you customize your meal to your preference. The mole was rich, complex, and full of flavor, exactly what you would hope for from a restaurant known for its Oaxacan specialties. As a welcome appetizer, they bring fresh chips and salsa to the table, but what really impressed us was when they replaced the salsa with their incredible mole sauce. It was so good we found ourselves dipping everything into it. Both meals were served with rice that was perfectly cooked with a great consistency and flavor. For those feeling adventurous, give the Chapulines (grasshoppers) a try. They may sound intimidating, but they were surprisingly enjoyable and added to the authentic experience.

Despite the menu change, the incredible atmosphere and unique menu still make it a must-try.

And I live in Portland, which has really good vegetarian options. First of all, I could eat like 75% or more of the menu as a pescatarian. I was thrilled and so overwhelmed because I normally don't have that many choices! First of all, the water was infused and was delicious. I browsed the menu and had a really hard time deciding, but ended up on the cauliflower rajas taco, the crispy shrimp taco & the vegan Korean BBQ taco. The waiter recommended the crispy shrimp taco, but I actually enjoyed the vegetarian tacos more. I love cauliflower and poblano so that taco was a great starter. So much flavor and a variety of textures. The tortillas were super flavorful too. The potato taquitos came next and I am actually obsessed. The outside was perfectly crispy, the interior was soft, flavorful & cheesy. The sauce complimented it perfectly. I can not recommend them enough. The crispy shrimp taco was really good, but I also tried a crispy fish taco and would honestly get that over the shrimp. I think there was mango or something in the coleslaw of the fish taco because it had a really nice fresh flavor to it. Last, I had the vegan Korean BBQ taco. The mushroom shreds & the flavor were just perfect. Again, as a pescatarian I have really never had Korean BBQ because it's so heavily meat focused. I truly loved this taco.

Building each taco yourself made the experience even more fun, and the combination of the smoky fish, creamy beans, fluffy rice, tangy onions, and fresh tortillas was phenomenal. Another standout was the Scallop Aguachile. The portion of scallops was surprisingly generous, and the bright, tart sauce complemented the sweetness of the scallops perfectly. Easily one of the best aguachiles I've had. My fiancé ordered the seafood soup, and it was just as impressive. It was loaded with fish and shellfish, making it feel well worth the price.

Everything is beautifully plated, super vibrant, and the portions are perfect for sharing (though you'll definitely want to order more than you think).

If you don't feel like waiting in the long line (which can get wild), here's the move: skip it and head straight to the counter. If there's an open seat, grab it and order right there. You'll get your food way faster, and in my opinion it's the best seat in the house. You get to watch the team plate everything with so much precision-it's lowkey mesmerizing. You'll feel like you're part of the action and the food always comes out hot and fresh. Holbox is inside Mercado La Paloma, which already has a fun energy, but this spot is the star for me. Whether it's a casual lunch, a date, or catching up with friends, it always hits. Worth the hype, worth the repeat visits, and worth telling everyone about.
