Yelp review info came in handy. Friday after work at 446 pm I wasn't sure I was going to make it to…read morethe food truck in time before closing at 5 pm. I remembered that they accept phone orders. I called in as I was driving through the mid Wilshire streets. I ordered an asada and a pastor burrito. Easy peasy. It took me a couple minutes to get there and my order was already done waiting for me to pick up and pay. I hang up the phone and I continue navigating my way to the burrito truck. I pull into the Asian market parking lot hoping that they don't mind the intrusion. I see the Jesus and blank in the truck. They are very friendly folks. Their English is excellent, no issues with communication. The total came to $20, assuming $10 each per burrito. Yes, card is accepted but they will charge you a fee. I was told $2 extra. So, I told her I'll pay cash instead. I also asked for a receipt thinking it's easily printed... No, she hand wrote it. I took pictures of their offerings but there are no prices shown. The bag felt so heavy (2+ lbs)! The little plastic bag also included 2 cups of hot sauce, a bag of jalapenos & carrots, and plenty of napkins. Each burrito was just over a pound each. The asada burrito contains rice. I'm mainly a carnivore dieter. So, this isn't ideal for me. The burrito was a very enjoyable experience with the hot sauce and condiments. I will update review another day for the pastor experience.

Not gonna lie, the BEST pastor I've ever had. As a Mexican foodie who loves a having a homemade…read moremeal, I can confidently say this. The only complaint I have or thing that feels odd is that they charge $3 credit card fees. The sign says $1. I made a $20 transaction and it ended up being around $27. I made a last minute change and they wanted to charge me $2, which was another $3 transaction fee so total was almost $6. When I questioned him about why it's $3, he got upset. I was reaching my arm forward with my card, prepared to pay again but his temper got the best of him and he made a rude comment. Other to say that you should bring cash if you come to this place. Now I know better.

I am happy to confirm that it is. I housed 5 tacos in one sitting. I tried the carne asada, pastor, and lengua. By far my favorite was the carne asada. It was so tender and salted to perfection. The pastor was also definitely a highlight, thinly sliced crispy bits with a slice of pineapple on top. Not to say the lengua was bad by any means, but we did get back in like 3 times just for the carne asada...

Overall rating 5 Stars***** Food 5 Stars***** Service 5 Stars***** Ambiance 5 Star*****taco stand ha ha East LA Taco Stand lives up to its name by delivering an authentic taste of Mexico right to the heart of the city. Having a penchant for street vendor tacos, I was thrilled to discover this hidden gem, which did not disappoint. The culinary prowess showcased at this stand is unparalleled compared to regular restaurants. What sets them apart is their commitment to tradition, using traditional charcoal that infuses the meats with a delightful smokiness, making each bite a flavorful experience. I indulged in their asada, chicken, and Cabeza tacos, and while all were delightful, the asada tacos stole the show. The perfect balance of smokiness and seasoning paired impeccably with the array of toppings, creating a symphony of flavors in each bite. The salsa and avocado were a testament to their attention to detail and quality. This place truly stands out as a beacon of authenticity. It's more than just a taco stand; it's a portal to the streets of Mexico. For anyone seeking a taste of home or a genuine Mexican street taco experience, East LA Taco Stand is the place to be. Count me in as a returning customer; this spot has won my heart, and I can't wait to be transported back to Mexico with every visit.

I always craved tacos whenever I traveled abroad as did a friend of mine whom I picked up from the airport after she returned from a recent trip, so this called for a stop at the Taco Stand near my hood. I've lived the surrounding neighborhood for over five years now and disgracefully haven't given them my money as much as I felt I should since I loved to support small businesses and local mom & pop establishments. Would I make a point to visit this taco cart more often in the future!? PURCHASE Sunkist Soda 12 fl oz can ($1.00): Sticky sugary sweetness all in a nuclear orange color liquid...this couldn't be harmful for you, could it!? Pollo Tacos x 2 ($1.25 ea.): A pile of pollo placed on lightly-flamed corn tortillas dressed with a ton cilantro, chopped white onions, a spicy salsa verde on one while a spicy salsa roja on the other, these were gorgeous no-fillers of mouthful sloppy goodness - arriba https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=eBfZ1ROUWLnS25OUH4kkDg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! Asada Taco x 1, Pastor Tacos x 2, Pollo Tacos x 2 ($1.25 ea.): I treated my friend to this collection of taco treats for her return home from vacationing abroad. Since I gave up red meat for Lent, I'll have to return and try the asada and pastor...each of which smelled wonderful! Coca Cola Soda 12 fl oz can ($1.00): My friend needed something to wash her tacos down with - bleh! SERVICE Pretty straightforward - you stepped up, placed your order, paid, stepped to the side as you shortly waited for your food, dressed it up, and devoured. There was nothing to it, so don't be a douche and asked questions while you placed your order...or "no tacos for you"! PARKING (FREE) Since they were walking distance from my pad, I took things in stride. They had no parking lot of their own. Otherwise, there was ample street parking along the main drag of Santa Monica Blvd. and all surrounding side streets (check all posted street signs). ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE Located on a busy corner directly across from the Cahuenga Branch Library (3rd oldest library in Los Angeles Public Library system), was a makeshift cooking cart alongside a table filled with a ton of condiments, another table with jugs of horchata and tableware, and a large cooler with iced drinks https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=jjbWjAIrhS6EkaZKilYiRg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Since they normally opened at night, rarely was there any natural lighting, so you were left with bright electric lightbulbs strung along a nearby fence and a street post. I've never seen any chairs, so you either stood or sat on the sidewalk curb (be watchful of roaches). There were no TVs, but at times I've heard background music in addition to the loud conversations and car stereos that blared from fellow customers. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL The "Taco Stand" at the corner of Santa Monica Blvd. and Madison Ave. was da bomb and there was no denying that! The prices were cheap, service was excellent, food was amazing, selection off the hook (they had all the meats but wished they had some fish on that hook, though!), seemingly there every night, and best of all it was walking distance from my crib! Although they also sold burritos ($5.00), mulitas ($2.50), and quesadillas ($5.00), I've only indulged in their tacos...which needed to be rectified. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (MY TOTAL paid experience was around $10.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, it was CASH ONLY (sorry, I had to knock a full star off to stay true to my personal rating system), so they didn't accept any credit cards especially mine of choice...AMEX! 4.0 STARS

I was craving taquitos for some reason, so I came by here to try them out. I was asked what flavor…read moreI wanted, and then I asked which one tasted the best. He asked me if I wanted all three flavors and of course I agreed! The least favorite of the bunch was the chicken. The potato was really good and the softness of the potato balanced extremely well with the crunchiness of the taquito. Then the beef was the star of the show with the perfect flavor that paired extremely well with the crunchiness of the taquito. The lettuce, guacamole and sour cream is always a necessity with taquitos. As far as the hot sauces go, I normally go for a green sauce, but this place's red sauce was really solid, even if it makes you sweat a bit. The horchata here is pretty good too. I don't know how to tell the difference between rice or beans, so I would say that they're good here too, but I don't know how to judge these items that well. The service is pretty good. The ambiance is chill and cozy. Good place to get some taquitos for sure.

That said, the mole itself was good. It had the complexity and subtle sweetness I was looking for. I do think it could have been a little richer and more flavorful, but overall I still enjoyed it. The rice and beans, on the other hand, were fairly bland by comparison. I also tried the al pastor tacos. They were decent, with tender meat that wasn't overly fatty, but pretty simple overall, mostly just meat and onions without anything particularly memorable.

The seasonings or the way they cook - the flavors and textures are better than a lot of other places I've had tacos from. I got two carne asada and two al pastor tacos. Total as of early 9/2025 was just $10 for four tacos! We came here on a weeknight a little before they were packing up for the night, so the vibe was chill. They also have a good spread of salsas and a DIY fresh toppings area. I just found this taco stand in East Hollywood because I was leaving a comedy show and it was on the later side. Most places were either closed or closing. Saw this place and it seemed perfect for a quick bite that wasn't a big strain on the wallet. Maybe there's more of a line on the weekends, but if not, this is the type of spot where I wouldn't be surprised if there's a constant line at some point.

I got there on a Saturday evening a bit before 7pm. They are already set up and doing business. 3 types of Agua Frescas. Masa being made into tortillas, meats grilling and boiling. It smells wonderful. I got 3 asada tacos, my standard order at a taco stand. And a pineapple Agua Fresca. The drink has lots of chunks of pineapple to chew on after the drink is gone. The tacos are hot, good amount of meat. Good amount of salsa and plenty of guacamole. I like them with cilantro and onion, you can get with or without. Each is individually wrapped which makes it much easier to eat. Throw a little lemon and a bit more salsa on them and we are good to go. The stand is in a parking lot and you can park there while you are eating. Very LA. The folks working are super friendly and made the experience that much better. There are some tables with fold up chairs, again, very LA....

Everything was made so fresh, meats were grilled to order and tortillas were constantly getting pressed right in front of you. I'm admittedly a bit of a germophobe, but everything was handled cleanly and with such warmth/attention to care. I'm also someone who usually likes tender meats like cabeza but their asada was hands down the best. Pastor had great pineapple, tender flavor too. They didn't skimp on toppings, it was the perfect ratio! Overall, exactly what we craved and hits the spot. Perfect moment for LA street tacos! OKAY EDIT (5 MINS AFTER I POSTED): Holy shiet my bf wanted more so we split a corn carne asada quesadilla and that was the best i ever had. I felt the presence of the Lord, it was SERIOUSLY so fresh, well seasoned, and high quality meat. Damn.
