Torta de pollo. Esto no es una torta. A la basura.
Jennifer O.

Bought a torta. It's literally just bread, guacamole and meat with onion and cilantro. I personally expect onion, lettuce, tomato, cheese and the guacamole is usually extra. I asked for no sauce and they added sauce. The chicken was dry. I went to the Wilmington location.

The vampiros and quesadillas look amazing, but I have to confess I've stuck to the tacos because of the homemade tortillas.

First time trying Mi Teresita and first time having a torta and it was chef's kiss…read more It's a small truck located in East Hollywood and when you get there, there's music playing and plenty of cars parked nearby enjoying their food around it. We came here after a night out, it was about 2:30 am and the guy was so sweet. We ended up getting a bunch of things and i was told that the torta here was delicious so i decided to go with a chicken torta. Man, that was a good choice. The chicken was juicy and the sauce was the perfect amount, moist but not damp. Amazing amazing

Monica to East Hollywood-- this is the BEST & recommended Mexican Food (Truck). Hubby drives everywhere & has tried/eaten from so many places & he drove out tonight to get some Al pastor tacos, I was in the mood for a carne asada burrito. Requested my onions to be grilled, this makes such a huge difference in the flavor profile. Oh wow! 3 Al pastor tacos, 1 huge carne asada burrito with sauces, pickled jalapeños onions & carrots for $21- worth it! Flavorful umami-ness of the meat, grilled onions, rice & beans . Hubby's Al pastor was well seasoned & cooked to perfection, even the tortilla was the perfect vehicle the gloriius meat. Hubby ordered while I Yelped & our food was ready in less than 6 minutes. These guys are hustling very quickly. There's not much ambiance to speak of, the food truck is parked in front of an auto shop, no place to sit n wait except your car. There are about 3 stalls for parking by the food truck & the rest is street parking. It's the only "roach coach" on Western, north of Sta Monica. Get your Grub-On! Easily 5 for the food The reason for 1 less star is not their fault but the neighborhood is a bit sketchy-park on the streets at your own risk (or come with your very own menacing-looking husband like mine)

I ordered their 4 tacos (2 carne asada and 2 chicken) with onions cilantro and salsa verde. I came unprepared without cash so I had to pay an additional dollar for using a card. This truck had so many items on the menu to offer. Staff were super friendly and there's is plenty of seating as well. While there is outdoor seating, it can get hot because there is no shade, so plan accordingly or order to go. Tacos were flavorful, seasoned and delicious. The corn tortillas were soft and the perfect touch needed for a great street taco. I'll definitely return for more tacos and try other menu items!

Leo's tacos truck claims to have the best tacos in town and that is factually inaccurate. I can…read moregive you at least 5 taco trucks that taste better, not just better - a different level better. And that just in Hollywood which leaves out the downtown area, east LA and south LA areas. Are Leo's taco trucks convenient? 100%. My favorite taco truck opens up at 6pm, yesterday I wanted the tacos at 3 so I stopped to Leo's. Is the quality acceptable? For sure. Price is fair at $2.50 a taco but may run slightly higher compared to the night trucks you may found somewhere else in Hollywood. On top of they are fast with orders. So what's with the 3 stars? Their campaign yells so loud they have the best tacos in town and their taco pastor is just average at best. It so cringe to read all the people who leave 5 stars reviews, and to them I'd like to say, "please get out more". My rating went down from 4 to 3 after realizing how many great tacos pastor this town has and all of them are a head above Leo's. Gotta give it to Leo's the marketing team though. The untrue narrative they created and feed to the tourists, the new transplants and the gullible lands so well.

I was looking for a taco spot with good reviews in the area and stumbled upon this gem of a taco…read morestand in the side of the road. 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. The pink creamy-habanero was the best and the green/red salsas followed right behind. I can't wait to go back to this place. It's mind blowing how a stand on the side of the road puts out better quality food than a brick/mortar taco shop..but these guys know exactly what they are doing and it was a pleasure to try their food. 20 out of 10 for this place.

Was hoping this spot would give Tacos Tamix (Arts District location) and Brothers Cousins a run for…read moretheir spot in my al pastor standings since I saw a trompo with pineapple, but that hope has been squashed. 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.

Park your car. Grab a few tacos. Scarf them down. And be on your way. Or maybe do some grocery shopping while you're here.
