    The white pepper/coconut cream/cilantro sugar rice pudding of my dreeeeeams!
    Donnelle F.

    Love this place and the people who run it. I had been drooling for months over their Instagram because of the inventive twists they give their menu items (go look at that Taco de Cheese with the generous slab of toasted provolone and crispy plantain chicharrones YES YOU HEARD ME CRISPY PLANTAIN CHICHARRONES). We're a bit outside their delivery range, so we made the trek downtown from East Hollywood to pick up. Long story short, worth the trip. Items we love the most: ~The Taco de Pork - I will be hard pressed not to get this every time. The garlic crema mixes with the tender pork for a truly indulgent bite and those bangin' chicharrones make an appearance here as well. Ahhhh seriously drooling just thinking about it, moving on!! ~That Taco de Cheese - I need not say more. OH WAIT! Yes I must say one more thing: We added hogao (a Columbian "butter salsa"...YEP) per the recommendation on the menu. My husband and I agree that's a critical hit and will be getting it every time. I may have to just buy a vat of it. It's so rich somehow, like it's definitely salsa but it's so...creamy? Even without cream in it? There's witchery afoot with the hogao. ~The Queso - GREAT chips here and this is their perfect mate. ~The Dulce de Leche quesadilla - Now here's where things start to get REALLY creative. Melty mozzarella in between two toasty tortillas...encrusted in a not-too-hot habanero sugar (!!!) and drizzled with dulce de leche. It. Works. My husband said he'll be ordering this one every time, which brings me to... ~The Rice Pudding. This one's MY dessert. White pepper rice pudding with coconut whipped cream and topped with a generous sprinkling of cilantro sugar. What. WHAAAAAT. I am a rice pudding FREAK and this one was unfffffff PERFECT. So so refreshing, especially on a warm day. I could eat a vat. Def on my permanent order list. People, try them out, for real. The icing on this cake was we had a tiny snafu on an order (just a missing taco, nbd) and I wrote in and let's just say they made things RIGHT. More than right. They really do care that you have a good experience here, so give 'em a chance and support a great new little local biz!

    Awesome food delivered!

    Had a delicious dinner from Tacos by Dres the other night. We ordered their $1 Chicken Tacos (what a deal!), No Meat Burrito combo, Beans, Chips+Salsa, and Oatmeal Horchata. The salsas were unique, the burrito was hefty, and I loved the pickled fennel that came with the burrito. They gave us a free Rice Pudding with our order and it was so good. I ate it late at night knowing that I'd regret the dairy later...then I found out, it's VEGAN! My new favorite rice pudding for sure. Thanks for the amazing food and fast delivery!

    Please anyone correct me if im wrong.  Does that look like steak to you?   Thank you

    Ordered a STEAK burrito on 3/2/23. When i took the first bite i realized it was more like pulled pork or pulled beef. Was extremely dissapointed. I wanted steak. But i did not receive that. A staff member replied to my story through Instagram "Found it! It does show you selected beef. Was your expectation more like chopped steak? Vs Braised beef?" This did not solve my problem as to me receiving some other meat besides steak meat. I would definitely not spend $16 there again or anything less than that. Go to chipotle. They have steak there. Doordash made it right by crediting me 5$ .

    Meat taco
    Femme B.

    I'll probably never order from here again. This place is a no for me. The meat flavor was a bit too funky. I think I just don't like the meat seasoning. Idk I was hoping to like them since there isn't that many good Mexican restaurants in Hollywood. I couldn't eat the 2nd taco.

    Ailla V.

    Ordered the Cuban Mojo bowl by doordash for lunch today. I respect the packing it came with, it was sealed and properly packed. The container is also 100% recyclable. The reason I gave this 3 stars was because the bowl was okay, not bad, but I would not order it again. I guess I was really expecting a flood flavors in my mouth. I am more than happy to try the other dishes he has to offer though.

    Their nachos are pretty good, got em for delivery and they weren't soggy by the time they got to me. Yay! I'm rating them today tho, for excellent customer service! I have an annoying jalapeño allergy and put it in my notes. I didn't know when I ordered though, that their queso has jalapeños in it, and that the salsa I requested does too. They sent me this note with all accommodations. Thank you!!

    Queso and wings
    Ana T.

    Tasted the queso and the bbq wings. The queso pairs well with the wings.

    Taco de Birria

    I tried this place a few weeks back and I really enjoyed the tacos with the cheese! Very delicious flavor and good amount of meat. The burrito was huge as well. I did notice on Yelp there were a lot of complaints about prices being a little higher than regular but the amount of meat given seems to justify the price. One burrito, taco and guacamole was enough food for two people. The guacamole was a little too funky for me because it had a seasoning that overpowered the taste. I am a simple guacamole type of gal. But I still enjoyed everything else and look forward to placing another order soon.

    Burrito and cheese sauce and chips
    Kareem K.

    Hey guys i just tried this for the first time today, i'm gna give a very in depth review , so hope you enjoy/or agree/disagree! I got a burrito forgot what it was called, and chips and cheese sauce, the food was great , although i do believe it is a little under seasoned, don't necessarily think it's gross but if it was seasoned a little more with different spices it'll be a 10/10, the quality of the meets and chips and tortilla was 100%, the beef was so tender and soft and was def slow cooked to perfection,chips were perfect slightly thick, and the cheese sauce didn't taste cheap, tasted fresh and perfect, not too runny not to thick, everything was delicious to me, but worth the price of i think 16 bucks a burrito, i would say ya, i mean your getting a massive burrito, it's not small whatsoever and it has very high quality ingredients, nothing cheap, nothing rotten, all fresh, and that's what i think is their strength, but in the flavor department it's very natural tasting, and good, but just good, not explosive with flavor, nothing to make your tastebuds go crazy, i've had much more locations with better flavor , personally i'd prefer cheaper quality and flavorful than vice versa.... now if your asking "should i try it once atleast" , yes definetly, make this a weekly thing, idk abt that , id probablly eat here once a month maybe less, price is too high for the lack of flavor, put in the valley i go to a place called el taco llama, and i spend half that price and i get a good sized burrito/quesadilla and that still gets me equally full, with fresh i didn't even finish it, so ya i could spend 8 bucks and get a burrito i can finish at taco llama.....anyways my 2 cents, give it a try , i'm eager to see reviews in the future that agree with what i'm saying :)

    It comes like this via Postmates! Kitchen seal!
    Krys T.

    If order through Postmates it was as swift as they come. They also come with a kitchen seal making your gastronomic experience feel safe during these covid times. I ordered the 3 taco combo beef, cheese, and plantains. The beef though!!!!! For sure a must get if you like soft and succulent, dripping off the taco! Cheese taco was alright...it was a Postmates order so it got cool on the way so the cheese was a bit tough, and the plantains tacos were not as good as the other two.

    The worst Tacos ever. It is super greasy and salty. Tortilla is soaked into oil and oil was dripping every bites. Queso is not bad. It is super duper duper over priced. Don't waste your money and your taste buds!

    2 Taco de Beef and 1 chicken. Nicely delivered in this takeout box!
    Yoorie C.

    I got 2 beef tacos and one chicken and it was amazing. I ordered on DoorDash and I was pleased with the food. These tacos were large and full of meat, the cheese had that cheese pull which was nice and even the toppings on the meat were good. New face taco place ?

It is a 24 hour spot so anytime I'm enjoying a night out I need a quick snack or a meal, I stop by here. Their lines go pretty quickly if you're visiting during meal times, but they have their whole set up to be as efficient as possible. When ordering, you'll go up and order your items I always get tacos, but I've heard the other items are delicious as well. You get one free potato per person and I highly recommend grabbing one. Once you grab your potato, you'll head over to the cashier while you'll pay for your items. If you want any drinks, you can order it as well. Once you're finished paying, they have a salsa bar with onions and cilantro and limes. My usual is their Al pastor tacos! It's a tried and true method for me. Note that there isn't any seating, most people stand up and eat or head back to their car and eat on their trunks or inside their car. There's trash cans all around and I believe there are some porta potties. It's a great spot to hit up if you're hungry and need some tacos in your life. Make sure you clean up after yourself. This is a great spot!

Overall Avenue 26 Tacos is definitely a must try place if you're craving some delicious street tacos. I'll definitely be coming back!

I came here for dinner on a week night and my experience here was pretty good. I had the asada and al pastor tacos with all the toppings and they were both so good and full of meat and heat.

I also tried the mulita with al pastor meat and that was also soso good. Cheesy, meaty, and indulgent. The additional topping section had good variety with pickled onions, cucumbers, etc. and everything seemed pretty fresh. Unfortunately, they were pretty much out of the roasted pepper and grilled onions at the time I went. To drink, I had the horchata and that was also very delicious. It was huge, sweet, and creamy. I also loved how it was not grainy at all. A good pairing with the rich foods. They also have a good amount of seating at the stand with a long table and multiple chairs. Parking is tricky since its street parking only.

These were truly the epitome of street tacos and absolutely nothing about the vibe, the service, and the FOOD, disappointed. Immediately upon arrival, I noticed the long line of people and said to myself, either this place is really good or really slow. It took me longer to decide what I wanted to try than what it took for the line to move and for it to be my turn to order. So yea, these folks are FAST and very courteous as well. They have real Al Pastor on the trompo (the spit) so of course I ordered pastor tacos and a pastor mulita. I also ordered a few SUADERO tacos which you don't find just anywhere. I am still raving about the amount of meat and flavor of the food here, it's insanely delicious. Once you get your food you make your way down to the end of the taco stand where you are met with an amazing array of fresh taco fixings and salsas.

I do like how they grill their meat though and they use the tortillas to scoop up the meat on the grill. Thought the al pastor was a bit salty and the cheese did not add much flavor to it, but that's probably a good thing considering the saltiness of the meat. Also, make sure you ask them for pineapples since they did not include it until we asked. They do have them sliced up in a container by the meats. Ambience is very casual and it's a stand while eating type of situation. Service was quick.
