    Carne Asada burrito
    Eric J.

    Meat- Tortilla- 1 star Beans- 1 star Rice- Salsa- 1 star Notes: Rice was kinda mushy and not enough meat Also ordered not reviewed: tacos of pastor, chicharron and chorizo. The chorizo was the best.

    Amazing tacos! Carla, Carlos y Maria Los mejores! Delicious, fresh and cooked perfectly!

    Five taco plate. Asado, Al Pastor (2), Pollo, and Carne Asada. Washed it down with Mexican Coke.

    Best tacos I've had in years! I'd give the whole menu a try if I had more time but these tacos were on point and worth the visit. Will definitely swing by when I'm in town again.

    2 Tacos Asada

    Very good food for fast eat. Fresh! Free topping guacamolle, cucumbers, lemon and setera.

    It's an EZ up tent in the middle of some sketch looking industrial district right near LAX. It might take you a little while to find it, but it's definitely worth it. The way I generally find it is by finding directions to Mariella's Tacos first (a food truck) and then looking around the corner and down the street for it. I'll try to come up with better directions the next time I go.. I've tried most of their tacos and they're godly. I generally stay out of sketch places in the middle of the night in LA, but this place is worth the risk. I've been twice in three weeks. They only have one table set up so expect to stand or eat around your car. Each taco is $1.25 and they're the size of a normal street taco, so you'll probably need to buy a lot.. but it's certainly a fair deal. Ask for grilled pineapple on the al pastor! They also sell canned soda for a $1. The last thing I remember is this hot, thick, cinnamon-y hot chocolate that's super good on a cold night. Cash only!

    perfect for lunch taco fix Asada is seasoned well perfect amount of cilantro and onions and i love their green salsa! customer service is superb! truck is parked in front of u.s. customs and border protection building on century blvd.

    3 Queso Birria Tacos

    The tacos are fantastic! The flavor of the Birria is so good that no salsa is needed. The service was fast and friendly. I highly recommend eating here!

    Tacos: $1.50 each

    We've got a taco newcomer to a part of LAX that has been run by Mariella's tacos for some time now, and while Tacos Escondidos dishes up some decent tacos, they're bested by Mariella's across the board, which is a tough break given Mariella's is no more than 50 yards away. Star 1: How were the service and atmosphere? Tacos Escondidos has your typical swath of offerings ranging from a self serve toppings bar to lighted seating, which is nice given that this part of LAX can frankly be dark and creepy. My one disappointment was that when I showed up on a Saturday night the pastor spit wasn't spinning, which I can't fault them for but it was an atmosphere ding nonetheless. Star. Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost? At $1.50 each, the tacos at Tacos Escondido are reasonable, and are the same as Mariella's. Star. Stars 3 and 4: How was the food? I ordered pastor and chorizo for my two tacos, and while the pastor meat was okay, the chorizo was too salty. From there, the tortillas tasted a bit stale, the self serve onions and cilantro didn't have enough cilantro in the mix, and the salsas were watery. Disappointing. No Stars. Star 5: Would you eat here every day if you could? Tacos Escondido is okay, but Mariella's nearby is notably better. No Star.

    The best food truck. Cheap and delicious. Taco Tuesday for $1 (some tacos not all) Mulitas are hand made (corn tortillas) Their champurrado is the best.

I came here for dinner on a week night and my experience here was pretty good. I had the asada and al pastor tacos with all the toppings and they were both so good and full of meat and heat. The toppings can be spicy for some, so be warned. My favorite of the two was the all pastor which was flavorful and I did like the thinly shaved meat. It was not dry at all and was fresh. I also tried the mulita with al pastor meat and that was also soso good. Cheesy, meaty, and indulgent. The additional topping section had good variety with pickled onions, cucumbers, etc. and everything seemed pretty fresh. Unfortunately, they were pretty much out of the roasted pepper and grilled onions at the time I went. To drink, I had the horchata and that was also very delicious. It was huge, sweet, and creamy. I also loved how it was not grainy at all. A good pairing with the rich foods. They also have a good amount of seating at the stand with a long table and multiple chairs. Parking is tricky since its street parking only.

Just make sure you order enough the first time so you dont have to wait in line again. There is some parking but it gets pretty crowded too so you might have to street park (and the area around can get a little sketch) so be careful. The second time we came here was almost 1130pm right before their midnight closing. This time, the parking lot was emptier so we managed to park inside. There was still a pretty steady stream of customers even around closing, but at least the line isn't ridiculously long. Can't go wrong with anything you order here!

We got a chance to sit at the bar so it was perfect timing. We got a few tacos, the shrimp, ceviche and the guacamole and the tar tar. The shrimp was super flavorful and was probably the best.

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.

You can tell that it's house made and I liked the chewy texture of it. However, respectfully the filling felt and tasted like bean goo. I could only really taste the refried bean flavor which was strong. It kind of meshed all the components together into a gooey filling. I got this with asada meat and the meat was kind of chewy and not so flavorful on its own. Props to the tortilla though for not spilling everything out and holding it together well, but still a bit difficult to eat. I would ask for utensils when eating this dish. The green onion garnish was unique. I wish they gave more lime wedges because that helped elevate the dish. For $13 this wasn't too bad, but I'd rather get a better burrito from a street vendor. This is a casual eats type of place with both indoor and outdoor seating and tables. They also serve alcohol and even frozen alcoholic drinks. They have a free parking lot in front, but it can be competitive to get a spot. Overall, my experience here was just okay and I would opt for other spots.
