    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!

    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 $16 there again or anything less than that. Go to chipotle. They have steak there. Doordash made it right by crediting me 5$ .

    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!

    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.

    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 ?

I loved the grilled onions, serranos, hot sauce, and especially the curtido de habanero,so good. The carne asada was okay slightly on the tougher side but the chorizo and al pastor were really solid.

I've been meaning to try the other items on their menu, but it was so good the first time that I had to order it again.

They had the masa on the side and were making the tortillas fresh and by hand. Yum. Payment: - They take Apple pay! :) Parking: - We found street parking nearby thankfully, but it might be hard to find in general due to the area. Seating: - They have seating to the left of their grill (tables, folding chairs, a tarp overhead). Depending on the time of day, sometimes the shade doesn't quite cover your face--the sun was setting and hitting us right in the eyes, so we switched sides to sit facing away from the sun once those seats were available.

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.

Everything came out to about $26 which is super reasonable! Service on a later end of the night was great! Super friendly and quick service. No indoor dining was available since they were closing in 15 mins. Food was ready in less than 10 mins. Salsa is free which both were delicious and had great flavor. Overall the food was delicious! It hit the spot. Filled with meat and the tortillas were a hit on their own. I would definitely go back again and try the other items that they had to offer.

    Driving by I always see a line and read an article recently that Sonoratown is officially…read morerecognized in the California Michelin Guide - makes sense! I like that they were open late to satisfy a late night taco craving. Even though there is typically a line they are quite efficient with orders and even have a parking lot/outdoor dining space in addition to their indoor space so it doesn't feel cramped. It was my first visit so I had to get a mix of their tacos and burritos with the various meats they serve. It was a nice fact to know their tortillas have some lard also so it adds a nice flavor as well. + Burrito 2.0 (asada) + Chivichanga (chicken and beef) + Tacos (chorizo, tripe, cabeza, asada) I enjoyed the burrito with asada and thought it was good portion size for the cost. The guac, cheese, and beans pair well with the meat and has a nice grill on the tortilla. The tacos were a solid size as well but I was surprised to find the tripe as my favorite because they fry it and it adds a nice crunch/texture change. The cabeza was a close second with the stewed flavors. The chivichangas were also tasty but not the traditional chimichanga I was anticipating. It's definitely on the softer side as everything mixes together and there's not much of a texture change. Worth trying if you are curious though. I ordered to go so I didn't see if they have a salsa bar but I did have to pay $.10 per to go container which would be nice if they were free. However, I liked mixing their red and green salsa with each bite. I am curious to try their avocado salsa next time. Overall, I thought the portion sizes were good for the prices and I felt full afterwards.
