    The al pastor was really good here. I tried the tacos and the burrito. The al pastor gets grilled again to get that extra char flavor. The line was pretty quick and there's plenty of taco options to satisfy any cravings. My only issue with this place was that the salsas were super spicy. The standard green salsa was extremely spicy compared to the many other green salsas I've had at other taco stands. I do enjoy my tacos with some good salsas, so I'm hoping that the green salsa won't be crazy spicy next time I get tacos here.

    Stopped at this taco stand on Halliburton Road in Hacienda Heights, and was glad I did. Ordered the carne asada street tacos - they were delicious. They also offer chicken and al pastor, with your choice of condiments. They also have a full setup with beans, rice and your choice of salsas. The prices are reasonable and their service is quick.

    3 Al Pastor tacos and 1 carne asada. This is before adding your own toppings.

    The review is for the taco stand on Ball and Norwalk. They are generally open 4pm til 11pm or around that time. Depends on the day. The lowdown - Pretty good $2.50 tacos. Full salsa, veggie options. Quick and good service . This place is always busy. The Al Pastor here are chopped up and more on the crispier side instead of Al Pastor slices. They don't put pineapple slices on it either. It's still good though, just a matter of preference. The carne asada tacos are good too. Both all well seasoned and flavorful. Bonus tip: There's a stand on the same block down the way closer to Norwalk that sells churros. You get six half sized ones for $5. They are fantastic.

    Seeing how Hacineda Heights will be my new hood, I have seen these guys while driving around but I finally got to try the food! I'm no stranger to street meat and this place was solid! Got the carne asada and al pastor which are my go to's meats. They didn't have suadero nor carnitas. Very friendly and compassionate staff as a homeless guy in a wheelchair tried to buy food with like $.50 but they made him a small plate for free so that impressed me (even though I was about to offer to pay for his food). Check out my pics.

    $2 tacos - langua tacos, asada tacos

    $2 street tacos located on the corner of Halliburton and Hacienda Blvd, usually parked on Halliburton (the Vons Plaza and in front of Popping Yolk) They've been at this spot regularly for about 2 years at least, during the weekend evenings, and Friday late nights. (Not here during Tuesdays nights when I last checked). They make really good cabeza and langua, which is my default at their stand. others like their pork and beef. They also do burritos and sandwiches. Service is fast. They take cash and Zelle. They are quite known in the area with a line forming regularly. My friends and I have been a regular at this place for quite a long time and surprised they are not on Yelp. Perhaps they had a business name change and or also do street vending on several locations throughout different days of the week. Not sure, but this spot is one of two regular street tacos stops we'd go to by default in Hacienda Heights for a late night snack. I asked the guy where's their menu and he says they don't have one. All they have is an Instagram account @TacosKesly with an address in Los Angeles.

    The best tacos . Highly recommend for Quesadilla mix: cabeza & suadero

    Another trip, another wonderful pile of tacos! The food is legit, the service is on point, and it's a stand up shop is the ambiance is exactly that. Do not let this deter you though, I eat here regularly and you should as well. ;)

    Great tacos and food. FYI, as of 1/18/25 tacos are now $2.25. Their burritos look huge, will have to try next time.

    What a pretty view

    This taco stand in hacienda heights has not only really good tacos, but they also have very good tortas, burritos, meats and so much more. Everything is affordable and everything is fresh. The service was good and the area and station looks clean. Whenever you crave tacos authentic tacos I highly recommend this spot.

    Asada burrito (accidentally unfolded) with rice, beans, cilantro and onions
    Daniel S.

    This stand seems to be there a lot, so I created a Yelp page for them. Not 100% sure about their hours and days, but I typically don't see them before 4pm. Cash and venmo only. Drove by this stand so many times, usually seeing a long line, and finally tried it today. People usually line up for a reason. The food is good and portions are huge. The $10 asada burrito is a LOT of food. They have several options, primarily tacos and burritos. The usual choices of asada, pollo, carnitas, as well as some more exotic ones. Rice and beans available as well. The line moves quickly enough and I could see the ordering process being overwhelming for some customers. Be ready to do a good amount of self-serving. For instance, if you want cilantro and onions in your burrito, they will hand you the open tortilla to add your desired amount, then you hand it back for them to wrap it. Salsa and condiments are all self-serve. Definitely going back when the craving hits.

The menu is quite simple, but beware that no prices are listed on the main menu, but they are on the paper menus. They accept Apple Pay/credit cards. I ordered the asada burrito and the pollo caramelo and added the grilled poblano (as recommended on Yelp!). The tortillas were the true stars -- soft, nice chew, with a buttery mouth feel (probably lard). The fillings were just ok. The inside reminded me of a Taco Bell 7 layer burrito -- a lot going on but all the flavors kinda blend together. I (incorrectly) thought the beans were refried, but they are not. Whatever is going on inside, I didn't find much structure. The burrito was the best. The caramelo was a lazily folded burrito. I read that it was like a quesadilla, but I couldn't disagree more. I would skip this next time. I spent $25 and it was a lot of food, but I wasn't impressed, especially given the hype and the fact that LA should really be the pinnacle of Mexican food. Not sure if I'll make a second trip here.

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.

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!

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.

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.

I like that they were open late to satisfy a late night taco craving. Even though there is typically a line they are quite efficient with orders and even have a parking lot/outdoor dining space in addition to their indoor space so it doesn't feel cramped. It was my first visit so I had to get a mix of their tacos and burritos with the various meats they serve. It was a nice fact to know their tortillas have some lard also so it adds a nice flavor as well. + Burrito 2.0 (asada) + Chivichanga (chicken and beef) + Tacos (chorizo, tripe, cabeza, asada) I enjoyed the burrito with asada and thought it was good portion size for the cost. The guac, cheese, and beans pair well with the meat and has a nice grill on the tortilla. The tacos were a solid size as well but I was surprised to find the tripe as my favorite because they fry it and it adds a nice crunch/texture change. The cabeza was a close second with the stewed flavors. The chivichangas were also tasty but not the traditional chimichanga I was anticipating. It's definitely on the softer side as everything mixes together and there's not much of a texture change. Worth trying if you are curious though. I ordered to go so I didn't see if they have a salsa bar but I did have to pay $.10 per to go container which would be nice if they were free. However, I liked mixing their red and green salsa with each bite. I am curious to try their avocado salsa next time. Overall, I thought the portion sizes were good for the prices and I felt full afterwards.
