24:7 operation, low cost food options, fire drinks, got tacos burritos quesadillas and more. A self serve bar for the salsas and such. Decent parking lot with 1 hour parking. Only complaint is no tables to eat so I had to use my car trunk but worth a try still. This is what LA is aha random taco pop ups that are 24/7 in sketchy parking lots in sketchy areas of downtown. Still highly recommend it though! read more

Damn! This spot was recommended to me by a born and raised Los Angelino as their number one taco spot and they weren't lying. Super simply menu, super simple dressings and salsas but everything is a flavor bomb! I'm not a big pickled onion fan but they will help cut the heat of the salsa. These tacos are fire and by fire I mean your mouth will be on fire while eating them. The staff is super helpful and super fast. I wish there were tables or standing tables to eat at but it's a parking lot, I get it. read more

Came here on a Saturday evening and didn't have to wait at all. I remember loving this place so much back when it was called Ave 26 tacos, however, this time around, my expectations were not met. This place is now in a parking lot and honestly, it was sort of confusing on where everything was at. For example, I asked one of the staffs where the potatoes were at and she said she wasn't sure. Anyways, I ended up getting their lengua and carne asada and honestly both of them tasted really dry and old. Not sure if it was because they made it too early and I did come prior to their peak hours or what. Parking wise, I see people parking inside the parking lot as to where it was at. Not sure if you can park there but I just opted to park on the streets to be safe. Although, since it is LA, I also didn't feel quite safe walking back to my car. Otherwise, the price did spike from $1.50 to now $2.25 each. read more

Tacos La 26! - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Place was poppin' and it was great to see the place packed! The food was good, as usual, and the condiments great! We usually get the carne asada, cabeza, and Al pastor. As usually, delicious! We paid for the meal, no problems. Then we also got a couple of drinks. When paying, i tapped my card, and the guy walked away. I checked my card this morning and find out he added his own tip! Not a big amount, but they basically stole from me. I don't tip for someone doing their job. Tipping culture is ridiculous! Just put the final price on the menu, and owners should just pay their employees better! If they can't do that, then maybe they should be operating. Outside of the guy giving himself a tip, my main gripe about this place is sanitation. There are no bathroom or wash areas. No way the employees don't have to use restrooms. Where do they wash their hands? read more

At $2.50 a taco and a superb grilled onions you can't go wrong. If you want a quick and delicious meal, skip the chipotle and go to a real LA style taco. The Al Pastor is my favorite. There are other more exotic meats if that is your thing but I stick to the chicken beef and pork parking is ultra convenient and service is quick. They also have burritos and quesadillas that are perfect to take home. read more

No flavor. The tacos spilled all over the bag, beans on a plate?? spilled all over the bag. The only thing that was good were the potatoes and onions. The chicken had no flavor, the carne asada had no flavor either. Idk how this place is popular... $18 dollars for 4 streets tacos and small place of beans and rice?! Not worth it.. read more

There is not a lot to write other than the tacos are delicious and you need to come here like asap! They are open 24/7, they do take card but cash is preferable. You make the line and get your tacos. The parking depending wha time you come can be very busy. There is not a seating area, gotta take them to go or go eat in your car. These are some bomb AF tacos! read more

Tacos La 26! - Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This place left a lot to be desired. Everyone is rushing and rushing you throughout the entire experience so expect to know exactly what you want while in line. The tacos themselves are ok. The meat is precooked and placed in silver bins which caused them to quickly lose their heat. You pay for tacos in one area and then drinks in a different area. I do like they give you the option to grab potato and grilled onions and Serrano peppers. The best way to describe the this is like a cafeteria just outdoors and absolutely no where to sit. The tacos lacked flavor. We ordered Al pastor, asada and brisket. Won't be coming back. Still on a quest to finding LA's best tacos read more

Heck yes! One of the best street tacos! The free parking is definitely a plus here. It is outdoor with no place to sit but grab your tacos and sit in your car to enjoy. The staff are working hard and are bilingual. We were encouraged to order pork but the chicken and beef were so great! I love the extra toppings of cilantro, onion, and salsa on the side. They also had small cooked yellow potatoes as a side also, one free per person. I also ordered a horchata to wash it all down and it was excellent. They do accept cash and card here! Definitely a late night spot, so be careful and alert! read more

This spot was recommendation to me and I was excited to finally experience it for myself. I was treated to tacos and I chose cabesa and one carne asada. They had an extremely organized set up. They host all of dtlA but also dodger fans after a game. They offer complementary baby potatoes that look to have been boiled. This was a nice surprise and an unexpected add. They offer aguas galore and all the fixins...cilantro, onions, radishes, limes, Chiles and avacado salsa. All for the mere price of $2.25 a taco. They are located in a open parking lot across from xlanes in dtla. read more

Avenue 26 tacos is nostalgic and consistent every time. Street tacos are ordered on the left side and quesadillas on the right side (separate lines). My favorite meats are Al Pastor, Cabeza, and Asada. This is definitely a good spot to go to after an event at Crypto arena or if you're hanging around Arts District/Little Tokyo. Last Tuesday our order of 7 tacos came out to $15.25 in cash ($2.17 per). Keep in mind the cost is different if you pay in cash vs credit card. Also quick tip: parking for paying customers is limited to one hour. read more

Tacos La 26! - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

My friends and I were driving back from an event we attended and we happened to stop by here for dinner. From the amount of people eating in the parking lot, I could tell this place must be good. We walked up and ordered our food. The servers were polite, extremely efficient, and had our food prepared within seconds. After paying, we were ushered over to the sauce/salsa bar and veggie bar. The place is located in a parking lot so the weather does affect the comfort but the food can always be eaten in the car. The tacos were pretty darn good! The meat had a smoked flavor with plenty of spices. They had an assortment of optional menu choices if tacos aren't your craving. The ambiance is dependent on who is there but overall the experience was excellent. read more

5 stars for the street food category. ​ Every time we're in LA, we make it a point to stop by this place. They have good and simple street tacos. They operate out of a parking lot, which has plenty of parking. They don't have tables for dining, so this is perfect for to-go, car dining, or tailgating. ​ They mainly focus on tacos, since the last time I've been, they've added burritos. Considering the limited number of fixings, I stuck with the tacos. ​ The line moves quickly. With only four meats on the menu (carne asada, grilled chicken, carnitas, and al pastor) the only decision is how many tacos to order. Honey and I got 8 tacos for $18 cash. I assume they have a card/ digital payment premium. ​Once you pay, you can add as much onions, cilantro, and salsa as you like. ​ I would definitely recommend this spot if your in downtown LA. read more

Solid street tacos, open late with plenty of parking. I like to get cabeza, al pastor, suadero & asada. Don't forget the grilled onions! I personally like to put a little of all 3 salsas and eat a slice of radish with every bite to give a fresh crunchiness to balance the heaviness of the meat. Can always count on avenue 26! read more

mmmm these tacos are SOOOO good icl. first off we got the car inside of tacos. They are about two dollars each and they are so amazing. The service was instantaneous and super quick. We got free potatoes, which were super moist and tasty. The only thing I can say is that the sauces are so spicy. Like my mouth was absolutely burning. The ambience was super chill and like I said it was super fast to get the food and check out. Everything is low-key self-serve in terms of sauces and toppings. So it was super quick and yummy. read more

My friend recommended a late night food spot for tacos. We were open to checking out his food recommendation. We then made our way by walking towards the food spot. My friend took all of us to a food spot called Tacos LA 26. We walked into the parking lot area and arrived. We saw a lot of customers. Tacos LA 26 had an organized structured setting. There were three areas I noticed when we arrived. The first area we encountered was the area to order food. The second area had an area with a variety of condiments to put on the tacos. Lastly, there was an area to sit on tables and eat the food. The staff members were friendly and the service was quick. I ordered lengua, asada, and pastor tacos. I put my condiments on top. I ended up standing up with my friends and eating my tacos. The tacos tasted amazing and were nicely seasoned. I enjoyed how tender and soft the meats were and tortillas were the best I have ever had. I really enjoyed and loved the tacos I ordered. read more

This is a great spot for late night tacos . Came here after the Dodgers Run. As usual, lots of people in line for some affordable delicious tacos, there are few different kinds depending on what you want to get. There's a line just for tacos, line for burrito, quesadillas etc. line for all the agua frescas. I mainly went to the tacos, and order pastor, carne asada, chorizo and chicken, the toppings are self served in one section. Tacos are delicious, flavorful meat, good portion, you can't go wrong. I always end up eating at least 5-6 tacos. HAHAHAH BIG BACK! My friend got the burrito and quesadillas. Those are her favorite items to eat. I will definitely come back again and try different items, The area is clean and organize but you do see people standing all over waiting to order and pick up the food. Parkings are available inside the lot, it does get packed, a lot of people like to eat there or at the car. So might need to wait a little when it gets busy on the weekend. read more

Great spot to stop by after a concert or just in general. Lots of different delicious taco options to choice from. Service is fast w/ a taco salsa bar. Nice atmosphere to grab food ,eat on top of your car, and chill w/ friends. read more

Tacos La 26! - Asada Tacos, Pastor Tacos, Pollo Tacos, Lengua Tacos, Horchata - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

A friend from LA recommended this spot and I'm so glad they did. Tacos LA 26 is a no-frills, parking lot setup in Little Tokyo with a few tents serving up tacos, quesadillas and burritos. It's simple, fast delicious and inexpensive...everything you want from a good taco stand. The tacos were packed with flavor and easily some of the best street tacos I've had. They also offer drinks like horchata and they accept credit cards. There's no seating, so plan to eat in or on car or take it to go. A solid place for a quick, satisfying bite. read more

Always a win at any hour. Cheap 24/7 tacos and quesadillas, good agua frescas, and quick service. In and out gotta love it- parking. Perfect for downtown nights. read more

Authentic street tacos, all fresh ingredients from the wide variety of meats to the potatoes and cilantro. Taste bud level is a 10 but sadly the service was rushed and pushy thus having a minor impact on order accuracy. (ordered a meat only burrito but got rice and beans).They seem to get busier as the night progresses so either get there early or have patience when trying to park but it is cool to stand out in the parking lot eating and everyone enjoying their meals. Note to Jefè, maybe implement a $.50 or $1 refill option on the beverages. read more

Been here a couple of times. I actually recommend their Burrito over their tacos. Prices are great. Wish they had more tables though

Blan, flavorless tacos I've ever experience. My pastor. Asada, and cabeza were no where near enjoyable. Not even lemon, salt, and salsa could save these tacos. I've grown a custom to certain meats to be cooked a certain way, and for me the meat needs to be flavorful, tender, juicy, and melts in your mouth. Sadly, these tacos didn't mean none of those criteria. read more

tacos are tasty, I'm not sure if they're the best street tacos La has to offer but they're good. They hit the spot. What I came here to tell everyone tho is - if you stay past 60 min no matter if you're just chilling and yapping after your tacos THEY WILL TOW. Went last night with a big group of people and we got caught up and talking and stayed maybe an hour and 15 minutes and my friend's car got towed. That's a $360 plate of tacos. All in all our group probably had 5 to 6 cars there so I'm not sure why they only targeted that one car. Apparently, there's some small print on the signs but it's not very clear and it's a very unfortunate thing to happen when you're just wanting to get some tacos. I understand that they do it to ensure that people aren't parking and leaving the premises, but it just sucks that we were there the whole time and we were paying customers. Not sure when I'll be back because of this there's plenty of greater tacos in LA. read more

Best late night tacos in DTLA. Great food. Quick service, and the best place to eat is the hood of your car.

This was highly recommended to me by coworkers when I first moved here. Been coming back since. Always delicious tacos. Hits the spot for late night cravings. read more

The place smells amazing. The guy helping me out was so nice and helpful. The service was fast. Tacos are kinda on the small side. They have nice poblanos, grilled onions, and good spicy salsas. But that's all i can say about them. read more

Food is amazing like always THE "African American" security guard tho... my friends got assaulted last night and on top of that instead of deescalating the situation or trying to help us he maced us and random bystanders..and told us he wouldn't call the cops be he said he would "handle us" himself threatened us multiple times and demanded us to leave knowing we couldn't even see saying he would spray us again my friend has asthma and couldn't breathe and I have eczema so my skin is flaring up my eyes flared up he forced us to our cars while we couldn't see the only reason he put it away was because our friend who does YOUTUBE & TIKTOK told him everything was being recorded even other customers eating approached us letting us know he's behavior is always terribly please do better and hire trained people not people who don't know how to handle a situation read more

couldn't have been better. Taste, pricing, no wait. Straight to business. First time trying and all the hype is respectable

My boyfriend and I came to get some tacos and we saw a roach on the ground. I was so disgusted but he convinced me to just try the tacos, so I did and honestly it was the same as any other street tacos. The people serving us were super nice but I wouldn't recommend eating here unless you're cool with eating food off of grills that roaches have crawled all over! Not trying to be a hater but I just want to warn people. I wish I would've seen an honest review of this place before coming. read more
