This place is good. I would give it a 7 or 8 out of 10. I went to 4 different taco truck in Van Nuys and this was my 2nd or 4rd favorite. Beans & Limes was my top choice! read more

I hope you all see this. The Tacos El Venado stand you want has a black sign. Don't and I repeat, don't, go to the yellow one. So less than a mile away, there's another taco stand that is "Tacos El Venado" right off the freeway. It's near an encampment. Same menu but yellow and red. We went to both. The quality at the yellow/red is far less. It taste ok. Now for the real spot. Immediately tasted the difference. Meat was fresh off the grill. Everything was fresh. The other spot was not bad but not the place we've known to love. Had a few less tacos here because I went to the other. I went to the LA location too and it's on par. They have little room to sit but plenty of area to stand. Good customer service. Staff are friendly and make you laugh. read more

Tacos El Venado - The real Tacos el Venado - Food Trucks Near Me - North Hollywood, California

I've tried a lot of taco stands and food trucks but tacos el venado is my favorite! They have the best Al pastor I've had and I've tried a bunch of places. But what makes them the best is the price for the amount of food you get. Their portions are huge! A burrito can feed you the next day! My usual go to order there is an all meat burrito, with cheese and fries inside, I'll also get nachos or fries with carne asada and pastor mulitas. Don't forget their salsas, the green ones the best! Just a tip, they take cash Zelle and Venmo. read more

I was attracted to this place because it looked really busy, so I decided to give it a try. Came here last weekend and it was pretty interesting. The Al Pastor was a little dry, but the sauces were great and definitely made up for it. The burrito was amazing, and I loved how he let me add my own toppings and then came back to roll it up for me. That was a nice touch. I think I'd come back here, it just wasn't my ultimate favorite. Still, overall it was good and worth a try. read more

This is a great corner stand which true authentic tastes perfectly seasoned and well portioned. Few points off because the lady incorrectly took my order and had to drive back so always make sure your order is correct before leaving! Prices are now comparable to those with a commercial kitchen which is a little hard but I enjoy supporting my local street vendors. Very clean area and some seating provided. read more

Terrific Al Pastor, not nearly as greasy as nearby stands. Excellent salsas and the usual acompañamientos were great.

4++ wonderful neighborhood spot for tacos. There's a stand that's kind of in an area that has a few other spots late night. Definitely this is what drew me here - the fact that they open on the later side. The people were cool and very helpful. The vibe here is like the spot that everybody goes to after going to the bars in the area. At least that's how it felt when I went because it was on the later side. And it had a few groups there that looked like they just came from a bar. Definitely delicious and the portions the prices are very reasonable. A great spot and would love to come back if I'm in the area. read more

Had tacos this afternoon, the meats were pretty good and had a lot of flavor also the tortillas used was good. They have plenty of condiments the service is fast. People were in line when we got there and more were showing up as we got our food so it seems like it stays busy. I didn't see any seating but we ate in the car which is fine. Overall will visit again. read more

Really nice staff, wait time was under 5 minutes, and it was only $40 for 2 asada burrito & 1 Birria quesadilla. I got no beans in my burrito but I wish I knew to request cheese or avocado. Although it was really light, it was pretty dry. I ended up adding the birria juice to make it a bit juicy. The actual birria quesadilla was good but super thin and somewhat burnt. read more

My god- this place is incredible. Al pastor is the move. Anything is great. Horchata too.

Food was mediocre and I asked for refried beans on my burrito and didn't get them. I also asked for tacos with everything assuming they would put cilantro, limon, and cebolla on but it was just plain. read more

LOVE!!! I love Mexican food so much, this satisfies my cravings. We simply walk up to the person taking the order and they give you a number. They sometimes mess up the numbers but then they get the hang of it. The wait time is barely 10 minutes. I ordered the Torta Cubano and Carne Asada fries. WOW. Delicious. The Torta Cubano is perfect, sausage, lettuce, pastor, asada, perfectly put together. The carne asada fries are so yummy!! Only thing is that they should add more salt to the fries but besides that it is so good. Atmosphere is welcoming when you walk by the tent, there is only 2 tables but now days everyone just takes for to go. I love eating here so much. read more

Best tacos in the Valley. Quick service and they're not stingy about the condiments. Cash, Venmo and Zelle options available. Great place to go after bar hopping in NoHo. read more

I've got to share this Mexican street taco joint! This street corner place is my absolute must-visit right after a NoHo show! Located at a bustling intersection, this shop flips out tacos quickly, and any wait is worth the delicious minute. There's something about those post-midnight cravings, and this place hits the spot every time. My favorite here is the cabeza and buche taco - chewy and juicy enough to always pull me back here. A decent variety of salsa and toppings here gets me way too full with generous spoons of onions and cilantro. There are many taco trucks around here, but the mini-shop setup here with the generator makes this spot stand out. Apart from the fresh tacos, it brings a much-needed no-frills street food experience here in NoHo. It can get crowded, but the simple and affordable bite here is worth a short drive for late-night taco cravings! read more

I love tacos. These are delicious tacos. Who doesn't like street tacos? Line moves quickly. The tortillas were super good.

Been slowly making my way around all the different taco spots in L.A. Tacos El Venado was up next on my list! Had a few al pastor tacos, an asada taco, a pollo taco, a carnitas taco, and a cabeza taco. Don't think any of the meats were the best I've ever had, but I enjoyed all of them. Only one that I would probably not get again is carnitas because it was a bit dry for me, but then again I've never really been the biggest carnitas fan. Price is more than fair for $2 a taco and they don't skimp on meat at all. Service is fine here. They don't really speak the best English, but they obviously serve a bunch of English speakers so they know what they're doing. Very friendly in general! Although I wouldn't rank it above some of other taco spots I have been to, I can't go wrong coming here. Definitely worth the trip. read more

The servings are very generous. I had enough left overs for nearly a week! The service was very friendly and fast. I'm going again and bringing my friends next time. The ambiance is as good as it gets for a popup in north hollywood, and there's ample parking on the street all around it. 10/10! read more

Awesome Al Pastor tacos. I think good al pastor is hard to come by since theres a specific taste/seasoning, iykyk. We stopped by to try a taco and came back several times the same night for more. They don't skimp on the meat and their salsas are great. We only had tacos but saw them making a torta and that thing was huge. Can't wait to try more of what's on their menu. read more

This is my goto mexican joint in the valley. their meats are unmatched. i usually get a burrito with cabeza and crispy tripe. if you're into the exotic meats, this is the spot. their carne asada and salsas are also exceptional. The staff working are pretty friendly and it's a classic pop up ambiance. read more

Bomb a$$ tacos!! And burritos. And asada fries. And... It's been a while since I've returned to El Venado. Ever since moving out of the valley, I've been hard pressed to find a taco truck that serves up the quality and flavor that El Venado does. Had to make my order count so I ordered an asada burrito, asada fries, and an all-meat Al pastor burrito. Everything was excellent and even more delicious than I remembered. They take Venmo now too! read more

This use to be my go too taco spot. They are 2nd on my list. One of the 1st families to sale street tacos in the Valley. I remember when the police and city would come raiding them for selling on the street. We would all have to run but they would be there the next night. Not sure if still family owned. Great food and the best salsas in the city. read more

Been here many times but I recently visited and had a mixed experience. I ordered a good-to-go burrito, but the oil was so much that it was dripping out of the burrito. It wasn't very appetizing and not very tasty. I also noticed that even my pastor fries had a lot of oil. Prices have gone up, but it's the same everywhere else. The portions are nice and big, and you definitely get your money's worth. I just hope they can be more mindful of the amount of oil they use in their food. I know it's fast food, but food shouldn't have oil dripping out. Very busy street so parking sucks. Service could be alittle better they dont come off friendly their just very quiet it will be noce to seem them enjoy their job and be friendly with the customers read more

Still going strong as my go to street taco vendor. Love this spot for late night munchies. Their tacos/burritos al pastor is legendary and they do loaded fries which are just a work of art when paired with their spicy pico de gallo and cucumbers and radishes. The food is wayyyy too heavy without the pico providing a kick of spicy and fresh palate cleanser. But together it is chefs kiss . Their agua frescas are my favorite in the city with the pineapple fresca being arguably the best in my world haha Would recommend and I always take my out of town friends read more

Welll what can I say here that hasn't been said already or maybe not enough, this place is BOMB. Prices and super affordable and they do not skimp out on the meat portions. They will load up the meat on whatever you order. For only $2.50 each, we ordered the queso tacos and ordered asada and Al pastor. The asada was juicy and the Al pastor sliced thinly tasted great. You could just eat a plate of Al pastor, it's that good. You can then add all the toppings you want- onions, cilantro, pickled onions, radishes, cucumbers, 3 different types of salsas, guac, limes, and sour cream. HEAVEN. The lemonade was also really refreshing made with lemons, strawberries, cucumber, and chia seeds. They take venmo and cash, they have some tables with seating, and play music to set the atmosphere. Mannnnn I'm coming here once a week! Btw- closed mondays, open' Tues-Sunday, weekdays 5pm- 12:30am and weekends 5pm- 1:30am read more

Great tacos for only 2.25 the people are always nice opened late but sometimes they sell out of the meat you want if you pull up to late but highly recommend this spot read more

I've seen this spot all over IG so it was on my bucket list to check out. Theyre open hella late too so great spot if you're leaving the club or something haha Service is quick. The men there are definitely your hustle and bustle type which shows great work ethic if you ask me. Generator went out for a minute and even then, that didn't slow down their production. Ánimo! I got a mulita de pastor and a taco de suadero. My bf got the torta de asada and a taco de buche. All really good food. They also have many variety of salsas and toppings (pickled onions, cilantro). I got an agua fresca de fresa, and I liked it. The only thing that sucked is that my mulita had a lot of oil due to the pastor but it didn't make me sick, so that's a good thing. They accept cash and Venmo or Zelle :) read more

So check it..... I gave them five stars for a few reasons. First their price point. This place has burritos for $8 bucks!!! Quality is good. Service is up to par. Friendly and wide selection. Aguas frescas and soda selection. Tacos price is great also. It's located on Lankershim and victory. On the corner of a Davita dialysis clinic. Try them out. I'm sure you'll find something that you will like there. Cash and card accepted. Also when purchasing a burrito they allow you to place whatever toppings they have to offer on their side table in your burrito. Then you hand it back to them so they can roll It up and package it for you. Radishes, onions and cilantro, lemons. You get the picture. Hope you give them a chance. read more

3.5. a pretty decent taco spot for $2 tacos, $10 burritos. they also have a variety of other items on the menu that we didn't try. the meats could have been a little more flavorful. i would recommend getting a burrito. you can load it up with toppings and then they fold it for you. we got an al pastor burrito and a variety of tacos. the green and red salsa were lackluster, but they also had a habanero salsa and avocado one that were pretty good. i could see myself coming back to try some of the other items if in the area, but there are also other good options in the area. i guess the nice thing is they're open til late read more
