    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.

    How am I just discovering Avenue 26 Tacos?! This spot is amazing and may have the best street tacos…read moreI've ever tried (and that says a lot because LA has so many good Mexican food options). I ordered the carne asada tacos and the brisket tacos and both were soooo delicious! They have a self serve toppings and salsa bar, so you can customize your tacos to what you liked. I'm a big fan of spicy foods and my tolerance to spice is pretty high, but the red salsa has a kick to it--so be warned. This spot is super casual but has a very large setup. Service here is very efficient and they are open 24/7 so there's no limit as to when you can get your taco fix. There's plenty of parking which gets extra points in my book, especially because that's typically hard to find in the area. There aren't any tables to eat at, but a lot of people ate standing or by their parked cars. If I could give this spot more than 5-stars I would. If you come here, trust me, you won't be disappointed.

    My friends have taken me here and every time it hits the spot. It's located in a parking lot and…read moremost of the time there is some parking available. It is a 24 hour spot so anytime I'm enjoying a night out I need a quick snack or a meal, I stop by here. Their lines go pretty quickly if you're visiting during meal times, but they have their whole set up to be as efficient as possible. When ordering, you'll go up and order your items I always get tacos, but I've heard the other items are delicious as well. You get one free potato per person and I highly recommend grabbing one. Once you grab your potato, you'll head over to the cashier while you'll pay for your items. If you want any drinks, you can order it as well. Once you're finished paying, they have a salsa bar with onions and cilantro and limes. My usual is their Al pastor tacos! It's a tried and true method for me. Note that there isn't any seating, most people stand up and eat or head back to their car and eat on their trunks or inside their car. There's trash cans all around and I believe there are some porta potties. It's a great spot to hit up if you're hungry and need some tacos in your life. Make sure you clean up after yourself. This is a great spot!

They are generous. The box is made of paper, not styrofoam. Cheese, yes please, but with or without it is great. The tacos are hand made blue corn tortilla, real guacamole, the cheese. They don't skimp, and with their Jamaica pink onion toppings that are sweet.... it just all goes together so well. A fiesta in you mouth just like the party going on inside the store. I do worry about the people cooking and working there. I hope they are wearing ear plugs or hearing protection because it is LOUD! Be prepared. The line goes fast, it is worth the wait. I LOVE VILLAS! they taste delicious, the ingredients are fresh... just BOMB Comparing to pool party taco man and tacos 1986 which I ate recently. Villas is the winner

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.

The tostada was very hard and chewy thought I was going to brake a tooth. Asada meat and guacamole on the tostada had no salt.

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.

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.
