Excellent food and even better service. I ordered ahead and when I arrived my food was coming out.

The food here is amazing both the breakfast and lunch , and the staff is extremely friendly and helpful

I get breakfast burritos here every day. Love this place and the morning crew. Very consistent.

Haven't been here in a while. Can't believe I forgot how great this place is. Stopped by for lunch today. Had the carne asada tacos. Absolute banger. There's something about the flavor of the meat that stands out over the stuff served at other taco shops. The service here is lightening fast, so there's that too. Got my order in less than 5 minutes. It's a great spot for people who don't have a lot of time to grab and eat lunch. The staff is real nice. While eating at a table outside, I could hear them laughing and having a good time. They must like working here. Now that I've rediscovered this place, I have a feeling I'll be coming back real soon. read more

I pass through here daily and always wanted to try their tacos. I'm a huge taco fan. The service was cool. Nice cashier quick service they gave me my food in like 7-8min or so. Cool little spot for a quick bite, great prices. Really good red sauce I must say! Honest review the food looks bomb but I didn't feel it tasted 5 star taste but it's good. I'll give them another try soon though. read more

There are a few Tacos 1986. I have only been to this one and we love it. All of their food is great--Mexican food-- and you will love it. Beware the salsa, some is so hot, so ask. I did not and that was just dumb. We love all their food. They make the best soft tacos and their burritos are out of this world. They have great meat that is cut just for you and it is ever so fresh and tasty. They have several types of tacos and burritos, my favorite being the carne asada burrito. They also have salsas you can buy by the bottle and they even have merch. The place is super cute and always clean. You can eat there or take home, many take home or use delivery. The service is great. They are so nice and they make you smile. The prices are fair for what you get and the food is fresh. You will love it. read more

I've been going to the dtla location for years but happened to be at UCLA for an event so stopped by this location. I always get their mushroom quesadilla, which is a taco with melted cheese on top. And it's been consistently good at each location. I still give it a 10/10. My friend got carne asada burrito & chicken taco and said the burrito was about 7/10. They have a bunch of different salsas, lime & radish you can pair your meal with. Location is clean and customer service was great per usual. read more

We came all the way from Houston to see what was the hype of the tacos and it did not disappoint, they were so good and delicious really recommend this place! read more

Tacos 1986 hits the spot. Pretty solid spot overall and doesn't miss if you're craving tacos. It is on the pricier side I will say and this location doesn't have a ton of seating. The service on the other hand was fantastic, everyone was super nice and friendly. For the food, my favorite is their Adobada. The carne asada and pollo asado were overall decent. The horchata was also very tasty and refreshing. I'll be back for their Tuesday deals but other than that I'd only come if I was really craving it and in the area. read more

I love the no frills vibe of this place. Prices are decent. Tacos are authentic Tijuana style tacos on corn tortillas. Staff is super friendly. Great service. There are a few tables outside, and plenty of condiments available to eat there or to take to go. read more

We came here based on the reviews to grab a light lunch. This place is well known because President Biden came and ordered a quesadilla. We ordered 2 asada (5/5) tacos and 1 pastor taco (4/5). The food was flavorful. The service was good. We ordered and received our food shortly after. There is a small area with a self serve salsa bar with radish and cucumber . My favorite was the salsa de fresa . I've never seen or tried strawberry salsa, but it was pretty good! *Just don't add too much to your tacos. The ambience is upbeat. There is Mexican music playing. There is an open kitchen where you can see the employees preparing the homemade tortillas and food. There is an outdoor dining area, but no chairs. You stand and eat at bar style tables. Limited dining area. My husband and I had to walk a little to stand and eat. Overall, the asada tacos were more flavorful than the pastor taco. Good food. read more

What I Ordered: -Carne Asada Burrito $13 I saw mixed reviews about the burritos at Tacos 1986, but I had enjoyed their tacos at another location. I decided to try something different. My coworker ordered the Vampiro, and it looked delicious; I wish I had ordered that instead. The burrito was subpar, in my opinion. I would skip the burrito; it was greasy and lacked flavor, and it wasn't very filling. read more

It's not just a good restaurant, but this location is the best of all of them, the staff, the food the service and the cleanliness is above and beyond any other location read more

Today Monday 3.9.26 I went to their Westwood store to place an order for my team and they were still closed. It was 8:15am. A cook inside made a hand gesture from the kitchen saying they open at 10am. I double checked their store info schedule and Yelp and they both say it opens at 8am. This ruined my plans to treat my team to breakfast. See the pictures I took of both websites for reference. Hi Andy. Thank you for the gift certificate. I just went back today (4/22) and had the Adobada tacos I was craving. They were delicious!! Anybody that comes to this place should try them. If you don't eat meat then I highly recommend you try the mushroom tacos. Let's support our restaurants during these difficult times! Thanks read more

I checked out Tacos 1986 because of the amazing 5 tacos for $5 deal going on this week, and I'm so glad I did. I got 20 tacos (carne asada, adobada, pollo asado), and they were all cooked well and topped with fresh onions, cilantro, salsa, and guacamole. The carne asada is my favorite because of the char. You can also see the them making fresh handmade corn tortillas, which truly makes this place so great--the aroma and taste of the fresh tortillas is so addicting. I also loved the self-serve station filled with a variety of salsas and other condiments. If you love chili oil, you will love their salsa macha! Although their tacos are normally pricey, I'd still come back again because of the authentic taste and flavors. Despite being so busy with a line coming out the door, the staff member at the cashier was very kind and quickly refilled the salsas and condiments upon asking. I ended up returning 2 days later to grab 25 additional tacos. Unfortunately, they packed my order short of a few tacos, but they were still great for lunch and dinner today. read more

Second time coming here but first time ordering online through Toast for pick up. Limited parking so checked the box for curbside pickup when ordering. Double parked and checked-in, but no one came out for a while...ran in and bag was on the counter with no one waiting and multiple staff...so not sure why that service is offered. Anyways, got their delicious bottled horchata ($3.50) again. It's less thick and has a strong milky flavor--make sure to shake it! Paired it with the #1 taco combo ($12), which comes with 2 5" tacos, beans, rice, and a soda. The tacos come with guac on top, but this time I decided to get in on the side so I could dip, and I was disappointed by the small portion and lack of flavor with the carne asada when eaten without the guac. The fresh, handmade tortillas were great. Overall, a little disappointed with this experience, but the combo plate is a great deal. read more

Tacos 1986 never disappoints! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and made with quality ingredients. The tacos are packed with flavor, the tortillas are delicious, and everything comes out fast. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and provides great customer service every time. If you're looking for authentic, delicious tacos, this is definitely the place to go. Highly recommend--I'll definitely be coming back! read more

My first time trying this place it was delicious! There was so much hype about this place so I decided to come and try it. I ordered the burrito de carne asada and my partner ordered the quesadilla combo. The protein she choose was chicken and she loved it. I enjoyed the burrito even though it is a bit on the smaller side. She stated that the chicken was well seasoned and loved that they are not greedy with the guacamole. The service was amazing and the servers were so attentive and welcoming. The ambiance is small since it makes you feel like you are outside out of a food truck that is the aesthetic that I received. I will definitely come back to check out the Perron? read more

Whether you love beef, chicken, or mushrooms, you can't go wrong with the tacos, burritos, or bowls from Tacos 1986. Get every sauce from their sauce bar and use liberally! Service is friendly and efficient. If you are really hungry, you can eat at the stand up tables outside, but mainly a to go operation. Parking can be tough, but if all else fails park at Target or Trader Joe's, 1 block away and validate. read more

Ordered takeout from here on toast tab. It was got there the guys were packing my food, and it is super delicious. I got the soft scramble taco and the mushroom and egg taco, both vegetarian. The three guys working here on a Tuesday morning we're also super friendly. Excellent cooks and great customer service, give them a raise! read more

I was looking for a good Mexican place since I now work in the area. Looking at their yelp, I read some reviews of people, not being too happy with the portion size and such. With that in mind, I decided to give them a try anyways. I ordered online and went to pick up my order. It was prepared on time as requested, so the service and the employees were good. They also have a nice selection of salsa, which I try all of them, and the salsa were very good. The place was clean, but on the smaller side, and there's not much room to eat there if you'd like . Now come to food, this is where they need some improvement. The taste of the salad that I got was good. It's really about the portion size and the price. For what you pay for, it's really not worth it. My burrito was very small and was not cheap at all. I probably won't be coming back here if I'm in the mood for Mexican. I'd probably hit up the local taco truck instead. read more

Probably my favorite taco place! The toppings selection is fantastic, with a lot of variety to choose from, and if you're doing takeout, you can pack little cups of them to go. I especially like adding their sliced cucumbers to my tacos. The fresh tortillas, pressed to order, are amazing--soft, not floury, with a nice amount of oil that pairs perfectly with the taco fillings. Each taco comes with guacamole, onions, and cilantro, and I highly recommend the beef option--the flavor is on point. Service is fast, and they only accept credit cards. At $3.50 per taco, it's a bit on the pricier side, but the quality and flavor make it absolutely worth it in my opinion. read more

I've been going to their DTLA location for years and it's one of those spots I always come back to. I usually order the mushroom quesadilla, which is basically a taco with melted cheese on top, and it never disappoints. It's been consistently good every single time, easily a 10/10 for me. My friend tried the carne asada burrito and a chicken taco and said the burrito was more like a 7/10, still solid though. They also have a nice selection of salsas along with lime and radish to add on, which makes everything even better. The place was clean and the service was great as always read more

I have Francisco and Luis to thank. I told them in person what happened with the one employee who was rude and refused to give me a cup for my drinks in the worse way possible and they told me how the issue had been resolved. Also offered different ways to make the situation better. This was never about the food cause the food is great. Thank you Francisco and Luis. read more

Not sure why I ordered a $14 dollars carne Asada burrito to only get meat in it. And it's was mid at best. Absolutely worst taco shop I've ever been to.. millions of others to choose from in LA. read more

Tacos are tasty here. The tortillas are the best part. They make them fresh there. They aren't dry and have good flavor. You get your basic meat options here. You won't find fat or gumballs in your meat. I stick to the pastor and asada here. The pastor could use a little more flavor. The only issue I had is i ordered an hour in advance and when I got there I still had to wait another 15 minutes. I got the text that the order was ready, but yet still waited. I definitely wouldn't go out of the way to come here, but if one so happens to be close...well then there's always room in a belly for one taco at least. read more

Tried this spot during their $5 for 5 taco deal week. Hate to say it, but these are some of the worst tacos I've had. I was excited to try, but very underwhelmed at the quality and taste. The texture of the tortillas was very soggy, and the meat and toppings lacked flavor. Not sure if this was a quality control issue during the deal week, but unfortunately I won't be returning. read more

This is related to an online order that I tried to get a refund for (for one item) but it didn't pass for some reason. I've been here in person before and it's a nice spot to eat at. There's also delicious sauces for self serve. The quesadillas and perron (5ish dollars each) had good flavors. My friend got a burrito a while back and I recall the size and how much he liked it. For 15 dollars I got a very disappointing burrito. I put it next to the perron and it was literally 0.5 inches longer. What happened??? Anyway. Just don't order the burrito here. It has changed for the worst. read more
