Tacos El Chido - Best Al pastor burrito!! Ask for everything on it. Get the green salsa! Best burrito I've had in LA - Tacos Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This review is for the truck version, the one located next to a Ralphs on Third street and La Brea. Great customer service and the salsa area is super clean, the salsa was super fresh and great tasting. We got carne asada burrito, quesadilla and plate. The meat quality was really good, flavor was on point. Beans however were a little salty. Overall the food was super delish and very hooked up, portion were huge! I paid $34 and some change. Will definitely comeback. Ingredients were fresh. Sorry no picture of the burrito because I couldn't wait to dig in! Lmao read more

Best street al pastor taco contest. Geography: Hollywood. LaBrea - Hollywood / Franklin - Western - Santa Monica Contestant #4. This taco stand is on Santa Monica at Highland behind the gas station. It was my first late night street al pastor experience in LA 3 years ago and it had been great.. while it lasted. Time passed and as I was unveiling other options, I felt less inclined to come back here. They evolved to cater to the masses and accept all kinds of fancy one tap phone payments, they have 4 tables and they give you free beans and roasted onions and jalapeño (yum!) but.. But. But. But. The al pastor is just basic. There's no juice, no crisp, no nothing to it and it gets consistently served from the heated container vs grilled and cut to order straight from the rotisserie grill. You can park in the art gallery parking lot or drive a 50 feet more and find a spot at the public storage parking lot which is always empty. $2.75 for a taco al pastor Oct, 2024 read more

Taste: 3.5 Creativity/Authenticity: 4 Atmosphere: 3 Service: 4 Bang for your buck: 3 I work down the street so used to eat at this spot all the time. But I came here recently and I guess inflation really hit this place! $3-4 dollar for a st taco? Asada and lengua?! Got 6 tacos and a mulitas and after tip it was $35!? WTH is going on?! And they aren't super big tacos either. T the date wise the leagua was my favorite of the 3, the asada was decent and the pork was disappointing. Atmosphere is it's a street setup behind the Mobil gas station and I remember this place being busy, but with prices like that it's only a matter of time til they done! Service here is good, but I swear they increased the price for certain customer but that's just my opinion. Overall not the same experience I used to get, and with prices like that, I will have to find another taco spot sadly. The search continues read more

Yummy. Al pastor is the way to go. Fast. And they take Apple Pay! Yay!!!! Good parking that is shared with the Whole Foods

Authentic Mexican food, super good carne asada burrito and nachos . Will be back. So much food for the price read more

Tacos El Chido - Late night burrito and nachos - Tacos Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Tacos El Chido is one of my favorite street taco stands by Hollywood, and one which I think is rather underrated when compared to other spots! Located by the La Brea & Santa Monica Blvd intersection, there's some space to pull in if you need to park. It's fun to see the asada and other meats being freshly cooked and prepared behind the stand, where you can also find ample sauces and other toppings to add to your order. There's some seating available, although obviously as a parking lot stand location, this is best used as take-out. Our order was ready within a few minutes of placing it, and we headed back home to try it! The tacos were all very solid LA street tacos - especially the Al Pastor, which had great heat to them and a good hint of the pineapple infused as well. The standout to me, however, were the mulitas - packed full of sour cream, guacamole & other toppings, every bite melted in my mouth and was packed full of punch and flavor. I didn't want to put it down and take a break while eating! If I'm not painting a clear enough picture - get the mulitas!! Everything was very solid and delicious though, so you'll be pleased no matter what! I highly recommend checking it out if you're in the area at night! read more

This review is for the food truck (should be the same biz) parked outside of Ralph's on la brea. Tasty tacos. I got the Al pastor, lengua, and tripas. 3 tacos to hold me over after the gym. Kind of cool the tortillas are hand made--I watched her smush it through the window to make sure I get the fresh ones. Out of the three I thought they were decent. Tripas was my least favorite...personally I like mine to have a bit of crunch but I felt like it was soggy. The other two were decent. They load them up with onions and cilantro, and give you some sauce on the side. They take card, but will charge you tax nbd. Normal stuff here. read more

Tacos El Chido is the closest taco stand to me now and while I usually go out of my way to go to other stands I've been to I decided to give this place a try when I had family visit. I walked over there and ordered a few tacos lengua, asada and pastor and got one of their agua frescas while my BiL got a few tacos as well. The prices weren't listed but I figured 20 bucks would be sufficient, it wasn't but fortunately they took card. They have a variety of accoutrements and salsas so I availed myself to them. I tried to get a good blend with my tacos-and to be honest they were okay. There wasn't anything that stood out nor particular. My BiL was also similarly ambivalent about it. He asked me why we didn't just drive a little ways to the previous taco truck I had taken him to his last visit but I let him know they weren't there anymore. read more

First time trying this taco truck (the La Brea location by Ralphs), and although I was a bit skeptical, I wasn't disappointed. The service was speedy. I tried the Asada torta, the al pastor tacos, and the pineapple aguas frescas. Honestly, I enjoyed all three! They also have sauces available. My only complaint was that the al pastor tacos had no pineapple on them, and the bread used for the torta got soggy very quickly. I'd definitely come back. read more

BEST veggie quesadilla in the town. Must for late night mexican food in Hollywood. !!!!ALERT!!!! Their quesadilla is HUGE. read more

These are LA street tacos at it's finest! The tacos here are straight FIRE. The carne asada and pollo truly are the superstars here. The tacos are loaded with meat and wrapped in homemade corn tortillas. The handmade tortillas were totally unexpected given these were street tacos and were a nice touch. Each taco is $2, which is a steal considering how filling these were with the thicker handmade tortilla. We kinda went ham and ordered a ton of tacos and a torta. The people running the stand were so nice and even took the time to walk us through the menu. Our food came out so quickly and was ready before we could get all our salsas packed up! (Just a fair warning, the red salsa here is very spicy!) I really appreciated that they take card and Apple Pay here. We walked but they seemed to be okay with having 2-3 cars parked next to their tent. read more

Bomb spot - great food, good price, friendly and fast. Love going here after some drinks out.

Absolutely the best asada burritos, which is basically simply but deliciously seasoned high quality steak. And they don't try to save .20 on cheese by not putting enough and ruining the experience. Their sauces are also delicious and not bland like many places. read more

I tried this place randomly while driving and i'm glad i pulled over. Food was fantastic, service was quick and polite. Salsa is good. 5 stars, you get exactly what you are looking for here. read more

This is My favorite taco stop. I love coming here late at night or last minute. They are fast and take Apple Pay! Good selection of drinks too! (Soda). It's outside. Bring a jacket. read more

Great tacos and selection a little bit expensive. Their sauces are really good and they open late.

Wow... where do I even start!? As a Mexican-American, I approve of these tacos! I've tried their asada, chicken, al pastor, and lengua -- all of them were very good. My favorites were definitely the lengua and al pastor, though I'll admit I'm a little biased since those are my go-to meats. Plus, they serve handmade tortillas, which I appreciate so much because I'm not a fan of store-bought tortillas. To me, good seasoned meat (good quality!) and handmade tortillas are what make a truly authentic Mexican taco. Friendly staff. Highly recommend! read more

The best. The absolute best. Never had bomb tacos like these! Every taco spot I hit up is coo but nothing to go out of your way for. nah this gem ima let you know you don't wanna sleep on em. The chicken is FIRE, flavorful and juicy. Asada BOMB, Al pastor BOMB. Salsas bomb. HOMEMADE TORTILLAS. I drive an hour to LA when I need to cure my taco cravings. BUT be sure to check the days and times they're open cause it's special hours! Once you've hit that public storage parking lot you've arrived. Salsa, onion, cilantro, limes all self serve off to the side. read more

They've been there five months and have, so far, escaped any Yelpy attention. Not any more. Poncho was awesome. He was very friendly and talkative, a great example of how personality can turn a passable experience into a more positive one. The al pastor was decent, the chorizo and carne asada were delicious. Without Pancho it would have been a toss up, 3 or 4, but his charm bumped it up just enough. I wish 'em all the best. read more

Food you'll crave!! This is one of the best tacos spots I've been to in LA. Try the chicken quesadilla or al pastor tacos and you won't regret it. On top of that, their salsas are top tier. Get a cold, tasty horchata to tame the heat of that fiery salsa tho read more

Best place to stop for a quick and AUTHENTIC meal. Always great service and the flavor never lets us down. Definitely a staple/comfort spot.

Let's see, saw a few 5 star post which made me want to come then I saw a 2 star about them not putting onion and cilantro on the tacos so I thought they must've caught them on a bad day. Well I came and yes in fact that is true but these mini tacos melt in your mouth the carne asada is cooked to perfection and the chorizo taste amazing. The salsa verde is great too!!! So if you're having doubt... have no more because this is great. P.S The agua de piña is immaculate. read more

Their carne asada is tasty. Order it on tacos or burritos. The location might look shady, but it's all good.

Hand made tortillas, and just over all one of the best taco pop ups I've been to! The Asada is super good and the pastor is on point!

Nachos suck. Don't order em. Salty and nasty. Order something else instead. Other stuff looked better... or maybe go to the other taco trucks further north o. Santa monica. read more

Best street tacos in LA. The carne asada and pastor are next level. A must try for locals or tourists.

Well balanced smokey carne asada and soft fluffy corn tortillas. What else can I say. Great hidden spot!

I went expecting authentic tasty tacos.. I got nasty hard Asada tacos with no onions or cilantro given. I had to come home and add my own. The tortillas-are single and taste like cardboard. The two stars are because they were nice and the lime was juicy. I threw away 7 tacos out of 8. Do not recommend at all if you want real authentic food that is worth the $1.25 a piece. Very mad and still hungry!!!! read more

So Good. Asada burrito was great. The first time I had it I had been drinking and it hit the spot lol. I was a little worried that when I went back sober it wouldn't had been good. I thought maybe it was the liquor (you know how it is lol) but it did not disappoint. read more

Phenomenal!! The burritos have the perfect ratio of meat to beans/rice. Genius portions of Avocado comes in the burrito at no additional charge. The tortillas are handmade and perfection. They're so fluffy and soft they almost taste like tamale texture. The carne asada street tacos are delicious. They have a table with togo ramekins where you can load up on several different homemade salsas/sauces and garnishes. I highly recommend the avocado tomatillo cream sauce! Coming from near the border of Mexico in Texas, I'm picky about my Mexican cuisine as I know what traditional should be, and this spot checks all the boxes! read more
