    Fish tacos
    Rita S.

    Food was great. Drinks were good! Such a cute ambiance with really cute outdoor vibes. The service was also good. Came twice already and will definitely be back! Their chip and salsa flight was also really good.

    This restaurant is beautiful. It has a nice indoor/outdoor area, very instagrammable. The server (Maribelle?) was amazing! She gave us great recommendations, was so accommodating and consistently checked on how we were doing. The food was much better than i thought it would be. My favorite was the elote, blew my mind. My second favorite was the chips and guac. Definitely 100% would come again

    The salsas

    It's been about a year since I've been here but it's been sitting in my drafts and I like to know where I've been and if I liked it. Went here with some friends so I'm pretty sure I was more focused on conversations, but I have no bad memories. The food was good, the service was good and the place was nice. I do remember really enjoying the salsas. I'd come back if I was ever in the mood...

    In Los Angeles, when you are looking for a place to take out of town guests from some cloudy, rainy, cold places, they almost invariably love a Mexican restaurant. There are Mexican places all over this country now, but some of the best in the US are in Los Angeles. One of them is in Silver Lake, Tacolina. We were there on a warm January afternoon for lunch. It was crowded when we arrived so larger parties needed two tables as this outdoor space is cleverly parqueted with many intimate, round surfaces. All of them are either backed up to a comfortable banquette (as ours was) or outfitted with cushiony chairs. There is a clever "sunscreen" overhead through which some old trees are still climbing toward the sky. The first thing you notice is the color -- riots of ruby, turquoise, bright leafy green, and mustard -- very south of the border, let's say. Then you can imagine that you are in a tropical rainforest of sorts. The overall effect is enlivening and charming but somehow calming too. Next, there is the menu -- full of unique items along with familiar ones but done with Tacolina's special twist. Take Cafe de Olla, for example. Most places just combine ordinary black coffee, simple (cane) syrup, and cinnamon. But here they add a touch of chili to exquisite La Colombe and it makes all the difference -- I could have downed a pitcher of that stuff! We were a conventional bunch so we got familiar dishes (see my photos) and all of it was very good. The service was excellent too and we had two people fussing over us, especially the smiling and attentive James. Tacolina is on a busy stretch of Sunset in a gritty but interesting part of town. I have always loved Silverlake, while being aware of its challenges -- parking for one, and dodging a few urbanic hazards. But, for this particular experience, it is well worth it. And, coming from a big old city myself, I actually welcome a familiar hit of reality. If you come early, you can grab metered parking all along the street. Still, once you are inside, Tacolina envelops you in another world, one with chattering birds, soft music, rich colors, and exceptional flavor. And when you leave (you won't want to), make sure to drive up and down the boulevard to see a panoply of one-of-a-kind shops that still thrive in this festive little patch of LA. We will be back. Olé!

    You'll want to add Tacolina to your favs list for both a date night and for the cuisine. We celebrated an early New Year's dinner and our party was seated within a cozy modified green house; totally felt like an intimate space enhanced with gorgeous plates and table settings. The food -- delicious, but know that the portions are not shareable if you're one to eat lots. In that case, order double. The evening quickly turned busy, but being within the greenhouse it kept our group's vibe cozy and relaxed. That said, the service, although swamped with orders to and fro, was kind and attentive; they even comped our last round of drinks due to the extended wait. Last note: if you like spicy foods make sure to ask otherwise the salsas, although tasty have no kick. So ask for the chipotle salsa !

    Thought this place was going to be solely about aesthetics but the food was so good and the salsa? Immaculate, every single one of them. The drinks were also delicious & the servers were very nice. 10/10

    Cochinita Taco
    Clare C.

    Had a reservation for 10 people and we were seated when 75% of the group arrived. Food was delicious, bad bunny was playing half the time, and service was great

    Carne asada Steak Tacos
    Hala Hana C.

    Tacolina absolutely delivered! We tried the aguachile, carne asada nachos, carne asada tacos, fish tacos, and the guacamole, and everything was fresh, flavorful, and so well done. The aguachile had the perfect kick, the carne asada was juicy with great seasoning, and the fish tacos were super crisp and light. Even the guac was a standout, bright, creamy, and super fresh. The service was genuinely great, attentive without being overbearing, and everyone was friendly. Drinks were also on point, really well balanced, and honestly just pretty, super aesthetic, perfect for a cute night out or content girlies . The vibes and ambiance are really good, too. Fun, modern, stylish -- the kind of place you instantly want to come back to. Highly recommend Tacolina!

    Wow wow wow!!!! As a Mexican myself I truly enjoy authentic food from my culture and didn't have high expectations for this place but MAN did they raise the bar. I loved the taste of every single food item I had and wish I could have it at least twice a week! These tacos were nothing like I've ever had in my life. They were tacos with a twist of flavors I never imagined a taco would have. The enhanced flavors of everything truly left me shocked. The service her was so great ! I loved the aesthetic here as well. It was a very outdoorsy but cozy type of vibe. I enjoyed the music they played too! Felt like I was able to enjoy my food while enjoying the music too :-))) can't wait to come back. I'm from LA so it felt a little touristy since I did see tourists

    Dine LA week menu it's hard to beat. We had so much food between the 2 of us and the options were hard to choose between. We're tempted to go back for round 2. We agreed I could come back everytime we're in LA just for the salad.

    Nachos (chicken ToGo)
    Jessica H.

    Ordered the Chicken nachos on a delivery service. They were really good, I'm happy they separated the cheese from the chicken/beans/chips because nothing was soggy. Good portion, very filling and the seasoning on the chicken / queso was good!

    Enchiladas Verdes
    L K.

    The moment you step inside (the inside is outside), the restaurant has a breezy, relaxed vibe that almost feels like being on vacation. Sometime parking can be a challenge since it is street parking only. We have been here several times with great, prompt service. Service-wise on this visit, our server was friendly, but the pacing was a drawback. He never came back to check on us once the food arrived, forgot to put in a drink order and everything moved much slower than expected. We ordered taquitos and fish tacos and enchiladas verdes from the brunch menu. The enchiladas were flavorful and while I initially thought there was a lot of sauce, it ended up being perfect because it was well absorbed by the tortillas/chicken. The tacos were good, but a bit more bland than on past visits, which was disappointing since they're usually a highlight. The food and service are generally 5 stars. I gave it 4 stars on the review mostly for the slow service.

The tacos are amazing and I like how all of the salsas and toppings are self serve. Service is super quick and they accept card and Apple Pay.

I really…read moreappreciate that they're open 24/7 every day, so I can visit any hour I'm craving tacos in LA. The first time I went on a weekday in the middle of the day, so it was super empty and not the best because nothing was being made fresh- the meats and potatoes were kind of just sitting in bins so although the flavor was there, the cooled down temperatures really affected the taste. HOWEVER, I visited a few more times after that, these times all late at night, which really turned my experience around. I think at those times there were a lot more people and long lines, so everything was being made fresh and it being hot just made the food taste so so much better. I love how the toppings are all self-serve, and the hot potato is my favorite side. Carne asada, lengua, and al pastor are my go-tos. You'll want to add hellaaa green sauce to everything- I could literally drink that stuff straight. Love the big easy parking lot here, I'll mention that I saw a few security people checking all the cars and plates so I wouldn't recommend trying to park here and walk somewhere else!

    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!

We found easy street parking in the neighborhood on 41st Street, and waited in line for about 15-20 minutes. We ordered the asada tacos. They pre-sauce your tacos, which was fine by me, but my boyfriend who can't handle as much spice would've preferred it on the side (so warning for anyone similar! they do put a little habanero on them, so just ask them for salsa on the side). I think I ran into a problem of reading too many raving reviews -- these tacos were good but I was expecting them to be mind blowing, so I was a little disappointed. I tasted the charcoal char, but kind of wished the taste was more pronounced, or at least the meat more seasoned. The hand made tortillas were definitely the coolest part, but I thought they were a little dry too. The ladies whipping those out are artists though. Actually, all the workers here have the assembly line down to the tea, and they definitely add a little flare for a show. I particularly liked how they had a lot of seating at this location, instead of just a couple stools lying around like most taco trucks. It felt more like outdoor patio seating than a normal taco stand. They could probably take more time to wipe down tables more often though. Overall would visit again if in the area, but wouldn't go out of my way for the tacos here.

We ordered just a couple tacos - one asada and one tripa, based on reading numerous recommendations that those are what to get here. $3.50 a taco which is not bad for a restaurant taco. It's a cool casual vibe here. Seating inside as well as the patio. They have tasty looking horchata and other agua frescas. Colorful walls. They bring your food out to you by calling your name. The tacos were loaded with a pretty decent amount of meat and toppings. But sadly we were far from impressed by the flavor. The asada was okay and better than the tripa, but it paled in comparison to our go-to taco trucks in the area which only costs $1. And the tripa was strange to eat in taco form. The tripa is crunchy small pieces so it just feels odd to eat in a taco. Maybe if it was just served as an appetizer to eat by itself, but even then, it kinda just feels like you're eating pellets. Don't see the hype unfortunately.
