Tacos Arizas - Mexican Near Me

Great taco truck, highly recommend. I always get the fish tacos, two for $6. Great every time.

Taco Tuesday! If you are ever in the Echo Park area you need to stop by Tacos Arizas!!! They have always been one of my favorite spots in this community. I was there a couple weeks ago right before a Dodger game and you know I had to pick up SUMN LIGH NUTHN 2 CRAZY! I picked up two al pastor tacos and an al pastor burrito and everything was delicious as always! They are located on the corner of Sunset Blvd and Logan St (right outside of the Walgreens/Lassens parking lot). Make sure to check them out! read more

don't let the red japanese graphics on the truck fool you - that's Tacos Ariza! locals and hipsters agree, their among the very best tacos around. their trailer of some decades finally busted down, and they got this full-on truck that they need to repaint sometime. read more

Don't get me wrong, there's no such thing as a bad taco (not that I've had at least). But this place is pretty run of the mill... Like, would I eat here again? Yeah! Sure. But it wouldn't ever be my choice, there's just so many better options for street tacos in a 2 mile radius, imo The meat quality here is pretty low, the asada and cabeza were very rubber-y and kinda gross. I did like that the tacos came out really hot! If I returned I would get the carnitas, best of the 3 I had for sure. Not bad persay, but also...not good lol read more

Tacos Arizas - Asada, Carnitas, Cabeza - Mexican Near Me

I love these taco trucks especially when I'm a bit hungry after head banging at a heavy metal gig at The Echo and most restaurants are closed. The place was busy and I put my order in for a bean & cheese burrito it wasn't but a few minutes before I received it. The tortillas are homemade thickness which I love and the spicy hot sauce that I added was perfect for my midnight munchies. read more

Love this spot ,been there forever and always was a go to when i lived in EP. Still go once in a blue to scratch that itch!

Used to be great even when they were a C rating Cold and gross. Never again but what does a review even matter. Save your colon and go to taco zone read more

Grabbed food here with a friend and enjoyed it over at Echo Lake Park. I got a carnitas torta con todo with a side of avocado salsa (spicy! Yum!) I paid with cash since you never know at taco trucks. Pretty standard fare, and a nice lady who let me practice my fading Spanish! Their lil truck is smartly parked under a tree off Sunset so keep an eye out or you might miss it. read more

Horrible service and the flavor is not there. Ordered 6 carne asada tacos, meat was dry and burnt with tons of fat chewy parts. Won't be going back. read more

This used to be one of my most favorite taco trucks. Not anymore. The carne asada in my tacos was definitely not ranchera meat. It was dry, tough, tasteless, and full of big chunks of fat. The clincher was watching them serve a guy who wasn't wearing a mask. He must have been a friend of theirs, because they opened up the back door of the truck for him, and he was leaning into the interior of the truck, and eating his food. See the pictures I've attached. I won't be back. read more

The Al Pastor was awesome. The Carne Asada wasn't crispy but was pretty tasty. The Cabeza was a soggy, flavorless pile. It was the first time I'd tried cabeza. If this is what it usually tatses like I'm done with it. No horchata, no tamarindo, no Jamaica. And the area near the wall where I planned to enjoy my meal smelled like pee. For a half dozen Al Pastor tacos to go this places is perfect. For a little more fully rounded meal they miss the mark. read more

This taco truck was fine, CASH OR ZELLE OR CASHAPP ONLY. This was our second choice because we didn't have cash for taco zone. I had two tacos, one asada and one pastor. The meat was good but the cilantro and onions comes MIXED so I couldn't get it without onions. There's standing area only. We parked in the Lassens parking lot and had to walk around the fence but it was fine. Would eat here again. read more

This place was whack as hell. They leave all the fixings on the side of the truck so you have to build the taco yourself. It takes forever and who the hell wants to build their own taco? The lengua was undercooked and barely edible. Worst taco I've ever had in Los Angeles (PSA - I haven't had many). read more

This was literally my first experience eating something out of a C-rated kitchen. I didn't even notice the sign until after I had inhaled my entire carne asada burrito, otherwise there is no way I would have eaten here. We spotted this food truck after coming out of The Echo past midnight and it was still open with a good amount of people in line. For $5, I copped a carne asada burrito that came out shortly. They had the sauces, jalapenos, cucumbers and limes lined up at the front of the truck for easy access. My burrito was warm and decently sized, although the tortilla was doughy. The overall experience was not memorable but got the job done. I didn't think the sauce was too spicy BUT the sensation hit me later and my mouth was on FIRE. How deceiving! I wish I just didn't see their Environmental Health grade at all because I would've left satisfied rather than feeling nervous about a possible food poisoning situation! Cash only. read more

Great tacos, great service and very good price. $1.25 tacos are off the chain. we stopped here after reading a bunch of reviews on tacos in LA we wanted to hit the famous taco zone but it was only 7:00 pm and that truck did not roll in yet. my brother and I tried 5 different types of tacos and they were all excellent. next time I am in this part of town i will make it a point to stop back in .there are 4 milk crates and one cheep table so if your looking for a place to dine don't expect too much . the food is what is all about here. read more

Quite possibly the best carnitas meat I have experienced from a taco truck. These carnitas are better than Taco Zone three blocks away. Thumbs up. The al Pastor lacked flavor and character. Thumbs down. Condiments section was missing limon and avocado sauce. The green and red sauce made the tacos saltier than they should have. Neither sauce was inspired. Thumbs down. Flavorful tortillas. Service was fast. Thumbs up. Recommend the carnitas taco with just the onion and cilantro and find a lime somewhere, then you are eating a four star taco. read more

Tacos Arizas - Here are the hours of operation. Careful to read the AM/PM notes. - Mexican Near Me

I love Mexican food. I love tacos. But.... I'm a vegetarian. Unfortunately, this adds a bit of complexity when eating at Mexican joints (are the beans/rice cooked in lard and/or beef/chicken stock?) and often limits the options to bland/meager/crappy selections. Such is the case at Tacos Arizas. They did have a few (three, if I recall) veggie options (questionable as to if they were truly vegetarian or not), and they were mediocre at best. The quesadilla and sope were bland and boring, even doused in salsa. And if weird meats sketch you out -- look out! This truck serves every meat product (tongue! tripe! BRAIN!!) that made you an herbivore in the first place! As for the carnivores I dined with, they were rather disappointed with their small tacos, filled with rubbery meat. I don't think any of us will be going back, especially when there are so many other options in Echo Park. At least the people working there were nice enough, despite the language barrier. But... if it's 11pm and you crave BRAINS, head on over to the truck -- but don't say I didn't warn you about mad cow disease!! read more

I'm a bit behind in writing my reviews BUT...... this one should have been done about TWO YEARS ago! Many will say ARIZAS are Kings of the Taco when it comes to Echo Park, I say they might be Kings for the crowds they drawl, but as for taste/flavor they get beat by several other! I was holding the review to give them another chance with some different meats but it's been long enough and I've not been back so here we go!... (it was a late night so photos are not the best) They do have a real nice selection of meats, salsa's were not bad.

Ben and I venture for tacos at the Arizas truck. Having left a LACMA event, we are properly drunk; Ben hungry, red-eyed by his pipe. Him in slacks, me in cuffed denim. My black Chelsea boots were at one point shiny, now dulled by the long night. We are both neon-lit by the Arizas truck. We order the exotic meats and we don't understand what we're ordering. Tres tacos de Buche. "Buche," He says. Swaying in the dry night. Terrible accent. The ladies in the truck move swiftly. We hear the street. There's a man on sitting on a crate, squeezing lime onto his torta. "The torta looks good, too," I say, but I order tacos de lengua. Tacos de buche. I don't know what buche is, but it's chewy. It's a bacony-calamari. It's fatty. It's a testament to my constantly saying that tacos are the perfect food. Fat, acid. Hot, cold. Soft, crunchy. It's duality emobodied, like Ben. So tall and imposing yet boyish and goofy. He has taco running down his chin and talks with his mouth open. He tells me he wants to move away. I wonder if tacos is what keeps him here. I prefer to think it to be our friendship, our endeavors of changing the world one thrift-store painting at a time. Ben google searches "Buche". He says, "You don't want to know what it is." But I do. I love it. "No matter what it is," I say. If Tacos Arizas composed tacos as he did collages, they'd draw from a dark past and grow into the light, inspired by a fresh rain and fresh tomorrow. I love the buckets of fresh salsa. They are like those paint buckets people turn upside down to play drums on. Like the ones those guys break dance to on the 3rd Street Promenade. I wash my tacos down with a mandarin Jarritos. I tell Ben about the time I chipped my tooth on a beer bottle and chipped my other tooth on a girl's teeth from a drunk kiss. I tell Ben that Tacos Arizas at three am is getting to be worse and worse of an idea it seems. There's a guy here openly shooting up not far away. I don't remember seeing this years ago, this many people in this area of Sunset Blvd. LA and Tacos Arizas being overcrowded. Nonetheless, when we move out east and complain about their subway and sub-par tacos, we'll juxtapose New York against open windows in LA traffic, perfect weather, and buche (pig esophagus) tacos from Tacos Arizas. read more

Tacos Arizas - Mexican Near Me

They must use like the cheapest meat they can get. They used to be OK, like if you're really hungry OK. Now they're like: Don't bring any of your Mexican born relatives here or they'll NEVER let you live down that you brought them here for "tacos". read more

Went here on a weeknight at around 11pm with a party of 8, and we each ordered a metric ton of food. There was only one cook and one window lady, and they prepared the food FAST. I ordered last and got my three tacos in 5 minutes flat. They're fast, but that doesn't mean they cut corners or half-ass the food. The carnitas taco was juicy and flavorful (though gamy, said a friend. i personally like gamy), and the chorizo taco had me licking the plate and sucking my fingers. I'm classy, what can I say. Everything was sooooooooo good, I ordered two more tacos (and all of my friends made fun of me, but I think they were just jealous). For a taco truck (hell, compared to ANY outdoor food vendor), they were SUPER clean-- from the truck counter to the condiment counter. Their condiments and salsas were fresh and savory (there was an entire BUCKET of freshly chopped, crisp onions that my party and I shamelessly devoured mwahaha). The lady who was taking orders was so heart-achingly sweet. They have Mexican Coke (made with sugar, not high-fructose corn syrup). They happily recycle. There is plenty of street parking AND a well-lit parking lot available. There is also a massive mural of the Virgin Mary on one of the buildings' side walls, and it really complements the goodness and beauty that you feel after experiencing Tacos Arizas. When I get married, I'm gonna ask them to cater. read more

Tacos Arizas - view from parking lot :) - Mexican Near Me

This was 1 of the 3 Taco Trucks runs of the night. I ordered the Asada and Carnitas tacos, which were quite on the greasy side. I suppose that could be a good thing for some people. But by comparison, your average taco truck. Location is little hidden and in a very dark corner, glad they had a neon sign being a plus. read more

I made a quick stop here after a Dodger game to grab a few tacos. And considering that I was craving some tripas tacos all day, I thought it was going to be awesome. But unfortunately, the tacos were just okay. The tripas were flavorful but they didn't have any crisp on them. So the texture was a little unappetizing. They also ran out of lengua, so I got a couple of carnitas tacos instead. The carnitas was dry and bland, and not something that I would recommend. I've never met an authentic taco truck that I didn't like, but this one didn't leave much of an impression. Next time I'm in LA, I'm gonna stick to the good old ALJ or El Flamin' Taco trucks. But I guess if you're in the area, this truck will get the job done. read more

Might be the BEST taco truck ever. So delicious and so cheap. The phrase "post-coital bliss" might have been thrown around in the car after stuffing face with tacos arizas. Taco BLT is a must-try: bucha, lengua, tripas! And al pastor! read more

Tacos Arizas - Tacos al pastor y lengua. - Mexican Near Me

Carne asada not seared to appropriate crispness, but rather soggy and gray. Also over-salted. Redeeming quality is that it is open til 2 am.

I'm not sure how this place is so wildly popular. Perhaps it's the convenience, location, and the fact they accept debit/credit cards ($10 min). This will justify a 2-3 star rating here alone for a taco truck on a busy Sunset Blvd in a hipster area of Echo Park; and that's it. The carne asada is boiled, then slightly seasoned. Tasteless. The pastor is boiled even more, then seasoned. There are superior taco trucks/stands in the 2 mile radius that provide an appropriate taste of 'LA street tacos'. read more

I think I found my soul-mate taco truck! Talk about fulfillment of my random taco cravings! Love this truck for being so awesome. $1.25 tacos - I usually get steak. I appreciate how they keep the area clean and always refill the sauces, lemons, grilled onions, etc. definitely a plus. Parking is right next to Walgreens (win!) Service is super fast (double win!) Cashier is always nice and helpful (triple win!) I'm a fan! read more

Open late after the bars and clubs close. Usually a short line but always get my food within about 5 mins. BEST TACO TRUCK IN THE WORLD!!! Carne Asada Quesadilla - my go to. It is pretty big and the tastiest quesadilla I have ever experienced. Kinda greasy but thats what you should expect from a truck. Top it with one of the two fresh salsas they have outside the truck (red or green). They both have a nice kick to them. The meet is so flavorful and the cheese is super melty and DELICIOUS! It's about $5 and better than anything you can find at any other late night Mexican. Tacos - small street tacos with two corn shells. $1.25 with just meet, $2 with cheese (I recommend adding queso - they actually melt it on the shell then top it with meat). Great little snack, but not too filling if you are real hungry (go for the quesadilla or burrito). They have bottles of water, soda, and mexican soda, but if you are real picky or thirsty there is a CVS right next to it. Usually plenty of street parking and nearby a lot of bars. BOTTOM LINE If you are looking for a late night snack to soak up the booze, this is your go to. read more

Hands down, best tacos in LA. Worth the hype!

Nice offering of meats that are all prepared rather quickly and professionally. At $1.50 each, I had tacos with: Cabeza - Flavorful Carne Asada - Juicy and tender Tripas - Large chewy tasty chunks Horchata - $2 for small, $3 for medium, no large. Tasted very sugary, and seems to be filtered quite a bit as there are no bits of rice or other texury things floating around inside. Great for after a show at the Echoplex. read more

Dang, this truck was always a pretty good bet for tacos but the server had no mask on this evening, neither did 4 of the guys hanging around - talking close the glass and putting their hands all over the counter with no cleaning or hand sanitizers in sight. I'm sure the food still taste good but not willing to risk it. We went to Senior Fish instead. read more

The best! In 5 years of eating tacos in LA, this is my favorite - hands down! Pastor tacos are supreme. Chorizo tortas are good. The only competition are the mulitas from the truck on City Terrace and (Gage?). Sitting in crates, eating and drinking a pina jarritos with hipsters and locals alike. My favorite taco spot in the best city in the world. read more

Man, it bums me out to say this because Arizas is a neighborhood fixture, but I got really bad food poisoning the other night after eating here. It's unfortunately not the first time either. Possible sickness aside it's pretty average (even below average) for taco truck. Worth taking a few extra minutes to head to taco zone, leos, señor fish, etc if they're open. But they're nice, almost always open and have a good salsa bar. read more

Yeah, okay, I ate too much last Friday night. Count so far: half a chicken (plus appetizer, fries, chocolate cake) 2 carne asada tacos 1 bacon wrapped hot dog Do I even try to attempt something from a taco truck? Yes, of course. Eeep. I had a carnitas quesadilla. I ate 1/4 of it. The salsas were freakin' spicy as hell and I had salsa verde. It was $3.25. But I need to go back to try their sopes because I rarely see sopes served at trucks. They had a lot of meats including the usual pastor and carne asada. I wondered how the tripas, buche and lengua were but decided to go with my favorite carnitas. The quesadilla was gooey with lots of cheese and there was a ton of meat in it. Mmm. It was just slightly oily to the touch which probably help it slide into my very full tummy. I thought it was funny they asked if we wanted it to-go or for here. I asked for it for here and it came on a paper plate. Exactly the same as Erica's and Skylar's to-go paper plates. Napkins are by the cashier. Salsas and limes are set up on a little table outside the truck. Oh, and they are FAST! I haven't had such fast service at a taco truck. I placed my order and then less than 5 minutes later, I had my quesadilla. I need to go the gym. read more

Trash. Asada was straight up rubber. I told the guy I wanted just a bunch of cheese and meat and would pay extra. Paid $7 for a asada burrito and the meat was indelible. Also, barely any cheese despite my request. Never again. read more
