3 steak tacos
Char T.

I ordered 3 steak tacos and was not disappointed. Great food, great price-point, and great service (:

I mean look at the packaging & the effort put into plating the food!!!
Jontel G.

I don't EVER really leave reviews but this Man's food is so GOOD I HAD to! I'm a LA Native so good tasting authentic tacos are SO IMPORTANT to Me. 4 Asada Tacos with Cheese & a drink was $12. SO Affordable with the amount of food He gives You! But the effort He puts in the plating & packaging is AMAZING! I never have to ask for ANYTHING EVER! The extra sides & chips with no extra charge is God's work! AND Giving Me 2 types of Salsas to choose from?!? Like cmon not a lot of places do that & it's so appreciated & recognized. ALSO I don't ever really eat the pickled veggies BUT This Man has converted Me...LOL! SO YUMMY! The Owner is also SO Welcoming & Super Nice & Me being a Black Woman in Today's times, that means A LOT! His food has SOOOOO much flavor too! I hope & Pray His lines go around the corner one day. He deserves it. Mind You I have been here to order several times already & He NEVER disappoints. LOVE the consistency! Service is QUICK too even when He's SUPER Busy. I ALWAYS leave EXTREMELY Happy! I didn't take no pics of the outside but He's a cute Taco Truck on Venice Blvd near the parking lot with the Dental Office & O'Reily's Auto Shop. He has a few cute sitting eating areas outside of the Truck along side the wall on the sidewalk where Pedestrians are still able to pass by with ease. Maybe I will take a photo when I go back & update this review.

I like the fack that they are rated "A"
Fernando P.

The food portions were generous, the staff member was very kind and polite, and the prices were reasonable. I had a wonderful experience and will definitely return. The truck's "A" rating was also a significant plus.

Tacos de asada, al pastor y buche
Adriana M.

Stopped here for a quick lunch. Got one asada taco, an al pastor taco, and a buche taco. The food took a little longer than expected, but I noticed that it was only one guy manning the truck all by himself, so I didn't mind the wait. There is seating set up nearby if you aren't taking your food to go. Tacos came with a chile Serrano, plenty of pickles (the carrot coins were delicious), radish, cucumber, and even some tortilla chips. As for the tacos themselves: the asada was phenomenal! So tender and flavorful, no gristly pieces. Next time I will for sure be getting an asada burrito. The pastor was solid, as was the buche. But the asada was definitely the star! I didn't see carnitas on the menu, which is what I usually order. Washed it all down with my Jarritos and left with a happy, full stomach. Would stop here again for asada and good vibes.

So good and they hook up your plate with all the goodies, veggies, two salsas and chips! We got our order to go, they were quick and they wrapped it up so perfectly. Ordered the birria, asada, pollo, and carnita tacos and they're all so good! Will be coming back very soon my new taco spot

Dining Al fresco with one of my faves

4++ a small little truck/trailer that sets up in the heart of Mar Vista. Call a pretty extensive menu and a good variety of meats. There's also a few outdoor tables set up nearby so you can sit and eat. The food here is really good and the folks that you are ordering from our super nice and very helpful. I ordered a suadero mulita, birria tacos, and a vampiro. I think my eyes were bigger than my stomach, and I was pretty excited which led me to order probably too much food. When I finally got the plate, I was super excited. The presentation was great with all the extras like the pickled carrots and peppers along with the limes, etc. I always have a habit of ordering a Mexican Coke whenever I go to taco trucks as well. I seriously don't really drink soda except for the times I get tacos. I probably was only able to eat a third of it before I needed some wrap to take it to go. Part of the reason I chose this place because I was walking a dog and I wanted something where I can order easily and sit outside. This place was perfect. These are the type of places I love supporting because the folks are so great and the food was really good .

Taco truck!

MUST TRY TACO TRUCK! ‼Simply the best! Best deal in all of Los Angeles! For $2.50 you get an asada taco with chips, salsa, radish, pickled vegetables! Crazy deals! My favorite meal in LA!

You have to order…read morethe "Angel's Potato"--it is a perfectly tender baked potato absolutely loaded with butter, melted cheese, and their famous al pastor. It is incredibly delicious and even comes with fresh handmade tortillas on the side so you can make your own tacos out of it. 10/10 highly recommend!

AMAZING food! Visited twice so far (latest: May 2026), and had the queso burrito with carne asada…read moreboth times. 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. The portions are *very* generous, and they had the usual sides readily available on the side: lemons, cucumbers, sliced radish, grilled onions and peppers, etc. Also had a bite of their corn quesadilla... the tortilla was soooo good. 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.

I delayed writing this review to really think through, and now I will confidently say--these are…read moreeasily the best tacos I've ever had. 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!

Yummy Tijuana style tacos! We stopped by after leaving an event near DTLA. I've seen so many good…read morereviews of this place, I was excited to try after bookmarking it for awhile. 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.

Came here late one night driving back from an event since I've only heard good things…read more I got 2 tacos (asada and cabeza, 1 pollo quesadilla, a bean and cheese burrito and small bag of chips and guac. 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.

I feel like I must be missing something? I've seen Sonoratown on so many lists and guides for best…read moreMexican so we finally decided to check it out. We ordered just a couple tacos - one asada and one tripa, based on reading numerous recommendations that those are what to get here. $3.50 a taco which is not bad for a restaurant taco. It's a cool casual vibe here. Seating inside as well as the patio. They have tasty looking horchata and other agua frescas. Colorful walls. They bring your food out to you by calling your name. The tacos were loaded with a pretty decent amount of meat and toppings. But sadly we were far from impressed by the flavor. The asada was okay and better than the tripa, but it paled in comparison to our go-to taco trucks in the area which only costs $1. And the tripa was strange to eat in taco form. The tripa is crunchy small pieces so it just feels odd to eat in a taco. Maybe if it was just served as an appetizer to eat by itself, but even then, it kinda just feels like you're eating pellets. Don't see the hype unfortunately.
