The asada is delicious here. The salsas are fresh and spicy. Delicious 2 for $12 torta special on Tuesdays. I'll order a mix of their asada and al pastor for a couple of bucks extra to really get that Mexico City-style torta. Really great value. The cooks know what they're doing and they're doing it well. Nothing better than eating your meal ok top of your trunk as you hear the sounds of Highland Park pass by. read more

BEWARE!!!! I usually don't write yelp reviews, but OH BOY did they deserve one. I'm currently in the bathroom fighting for my life praying for my life I don't die from this food. I had their tripa taco, just one bite was enough to send the dark corners of my bathroom. I would not recommend their food! If there was a 0 option star I would put that! read more

They refused the refund even though it said on the app it delivered. Don't eat here there dumb and unprofessional asf. read more

Another good taco spot in Highland Park. Great Tijuana style tacos. Just as good as Angel's in my opinion. Right at York and Figueroa in front of the 99 Cent Store. Tacos were $2.50 so a lil pricier than regular street tacos but they're worth it. I got the al pastor, cabeza, and asada. I liked it! The cabeza was great, so tender and juicy. The tacos just need a lil hit of the spicy red salsa to make it just right. Will definitely be coming back to try more. Service was fast and friendly. You can park in the 99 Cent Store parking lot. read more

Tacos La Guera - 2 Al pastor + 2 Cabeza + 1 Asada - Street Vendors Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Ok, so I am very disappointed here. My first clue was the distinct odor of fried meat. Not that it is a bad thing, but that it smelled like previously used lard or not good. I was going to leave before ordering but I figured, I am rarely in the area and I have heard good things about this place. I ordered a few things, a burrito and a few tacos. I will say the al pastor burrito was decent and huge! I mean where else can you get a burrito the size a football (close to it) for $12. The tacos at $3 were not good. At least the handmade tortillas held up. I had 4 tacos, tripa, cabeza, suadero and al pastor. Again, the al pastor is decent, but the other meats were "lard city" I mean even after eating them my tacos the roof of my mouth felt greasy and I had the odor of that horrible lard they were using in my nose and head for several hours after. The hot sauces although tasty not sure if they really complimented the greasy tacos. Not sure but I would not recommend this place unless you are having al pastor and love football sized burritos. read more

So if you are going to be charging $3 bucks for a taco you better make sure the meat is very clean and does not make you gag when you eat it, like it's cooked and it still tastes nasty ok, and I got something to eat before work so I was very hungry like and it still didn't hit the spot, not recommending this spot move on to the next read more

Tacos La Guera - Receipt - Street Vendors Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Always were curious to try this stand near the York and Figueroa intersection, near the 99 cent store - that huge vertical spit with rotating roasting meat always beckoned us. Parking is easy, the lot in front of the 99 cent store has plenty of space with entrances on both York and Figueroa. No menu, so I went with what was recommended previously by other Yelpers - carne asada and al pastor (spit-grilled meat). Setup: Two long tables set up next to the sidewalk, the left one with the grilling area and the vertical spit, the right one with the drinks, selection of sides and salsa, and the cashier. You place your orders to the cashier on the right side and the lady who helped us was quick and efficient, printing off the order to hand to the grill side station. There were two drinks choices available that evening: Agua De Piña and horchata. Ordering / checkout: We got one quesadilla de carne asada, two al pastor tacos, one carne asada taco (topped with chunks of pineapple!), and one medium (you can get a large too) Agua De Piña. The quesadilla comes with a choice of what kind: corn or wheat? Corn it is for us! We waited a delicious moment or two, smelling the open fire barbecue smell, as the meats were sliced and prepare on site and the tacos / quesadillas cooked. We took two of the four sauces available, and noted the many other sides (more cilantro, onion, lime slices, onion, cucumber, and a side...salad? relish?) available to you. These were packaged up in foil and home we went with our takeout. Food: The flavors were so good. The flavor of the open fire was in the meats, and every time we ate a fatty bit of meat was another juicy mouthful of flavor. The tacos were generously covered with cilantro and onion, and the green and red sauces are totally in your face with balanced flavor and pack a spicy punch! Highly recommend getting the green sauce with the tacos. The quesadilla was packed with the meat while not getting too messy when you eat it - the perfect ratio. Excellent! I am glad we finally got to try this spot in Highland Park and will be back with friends! read more

Every time I drive by there's always a line so I assumed it's was going to be good. Oh boy was I WRONG! I finally came to try this spot and the only reason there's a line is because they take forever. Let's not forget to mention that it was $18.00 for six tacos. If they were good, I don't think I would be complaining about the price. I was happy at first to see that they make their own tortillas, but they just fall apart. I definitely will not be coming back. read more

I've tried the al pastor and asada tacos quite a few times. Both were very good. I've gotten the asada al carbon burrito without rice way more often and I like it better. I guess most people prefer the tacos. But try the burritos. As others have said they have fantastic salsas. I think their tomatillo salsa (verde) is exceptional, and the habanero has a nice heat level. I usually take a little escabeche too. Also excellent. A little of both the salsas on my burrito makes it fantastic. For me those high quality salsas makes their burritos that much better than most other East Side stands and trucks so I don't mind the $10 price. Always seems worth it. I've yet to have a disappointing taco or burrito from here. And the workers/owners deserve to make decent money. It's hard work and a great product. I feel lucky to have such great food close to my neighborhood. read more

Who runs out of plates!?! I guess this spot does. I just don't understand why they couldn't just wrap the tacos in foil. Or am I missing something? Is there another reason why you wouldn't sell us tacos? read more

This is how you do LA. Really enjoyed al pastor, lengua, tripe. 3 dollars a taco is pretty reasonable for this quality of you ask me.

Our third time eating here. Overall it's been really good. We've had tacos de Al Pastor and Asada on fresh made tortillas. Both really good. Asada is grilled over charcoal which l is the best way in my opinion. The Al pastor is really good too. They offer the usual onion, cilantro, guacamole and several mainly spicy salsas. They also have cucumbers, radish, limes and pickled onions. Aguas frescas are all pretty good too. I've read other reviews which state the "customer service" was bad. It's not. These people are working in the heat and through the night to serve you food. So what that they didn't smile at your sensitive ass! Order, pay, get your food and leave. They are not rude! You're just lame! You don't like it, take your ass to Taco Bell. read more

SUPERB!!!! Al pastor how it's meant to be - right off the spit with a nice hunk of pineapple. All the right toppings. They make their own tortillas on site - need I say more? read more

Tacos were mushy, flattened and gross. Ended up getting me really sick. 24 hours later I'm still sick read more

Tacos La Guera - Mushy tacos - Street Vendors Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Just moved to the area a few months & tried the tacos here & I thought they were BOMB. They are on the pricier side but, in addition to all the toppings & salsa offered, felt they were worth it. However, after several taco orders, I decided to try an asada burrito for the first time & was extremely disappointed. Not sure if all their burritos are made the same, but I get more actual meat from 2 asada tacos than I did in that big burrito. I felt nothing but fat when I chewed & completely lost my appetite. Not even the salsa could save it. I took a loss of $9 that day. Also, the customer service has never been too great. The times I have gone, they've had a serious demeanor & I honestly felt intimidated the first time I ordered as a new customer. Recently, I wished them a good day & they did not respond lol In short, tacos are great. Burritos, might be a hit or miss read more

Best tacos fresh and friendly a must try worth the drive it was shame to see what happened to them glad to see god has blessed them 100 fold

I have always drove by this taco stand and today I finally tried them. Ordered one of each but only enjoyed the buche and cabeza. The others were tasteless or hard to chew. Got a 15 tacos for $45 because tortilla was hand made. I'll give there salsas a 5 though. read more

Way overpriced for the amount of meat each taco has. The guacamole salsa was just ok. Tortillas were good but so little meat that the last couple of bites at the end were just tortilla!! Go to Angel's Tijuana Tacos in Eagle Rock Blvd instead! Same price but a lot more meat! read more

Tacos La Guera - For $2 per taco, I was really disappointed. - Street Vendors Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This is the type of taco spot you dream of having in your neighborhood. Ignore the people who say this place is overpriced, but also ignore the people who say the portions are big (they're not). What makes this place well worth the $2 per taco price tag is the hand made tortilla and the perfectly grilled meats. These tacos are in a different class than your usual $1 street taco - the carne asada is grilled, not seared ala plancha, the pastor is made on a spit, and everything is perfectly seasoned. These tacos are wasted on people who think they are overpriced - they aren't discerning enough to understand where that extra $.50-$1 comes from. If you can't tell a store bought tortilla from a fresh one or taste the smokiness in carne asada that is actually grilled, this place might not be for you. As great as the tacos are, the salsa might be even better. The aguacate, roja, habanero, and verde are all pitch perfect - spicy when appropriate and perfectly salted. These aren't quite the best tacos in los angeles, but this is what I would describe as a perfect taco place - it will probably be the new standard bearer by which I judge all other tacos of this style. read more

Really good tacos, so far I have tried carne asada and al pastor and both were delicious!

This place is the best. Al pastor on a spit in front of you, they barbecue the asada right there and chop it up, corn tortillas hechas a mano, guacamole in a molcajete on each taco, just perfect. Perfection. I usually don't go for asada but theirs is something special, and their salsas are nice too. read more

Best al pastor tacos!!! They make their tortillas on the spot. $2 a taco but they fill it up with meat so it's super filling. Trust me I'm normally a 5 taco girl but here, I just get 2. Their salsas are also sooo bomb. I come here at least once a week. read more

I don't live so close to Highland Park any more so discovered this stand only recently. Now I find a reason so I can stop for some al pastor tacos. So what makes a truck or stand stand out from all the others? If you ask me, freshly made tortillas de maiz is good. Generously sliced al pastor that is crisped and (generously) loaded into your taco is another. Grilled onions, check. Good salsas (including a thick aguacate sauce). The marinated onions with habanero, yup. Put that together, and let me you, thats enough to get me craving those. Somebody should tell them to grill some of that pina, would be even more bomb. The other day I ordered the mulita with al pastor. Whoah. That was good. read more

Overpriced food. Meat way to dry. $10 burrito. Wouldn't recommend it. Just go somewhere

Beats any taco spot in HIghland Park at the moment, a little over priced in my opinion.

Stopped by this taco stand on Wednesday night. Plenty of parking because its located in a huge shopping center. While some people say the tacos are overpriced, they do put a lot of meat on them, and the pastor was pretty good. Overall the food and salsas were good. However, customer service was terrible. The guy that was making the tacos was extremely rude. There was a lady in front of us that ordered her tacos, and asked for a small side of beans. The guy straight out refused to give them to her, even tho she even offered to pay for them. I didn't see what the big deal was but the poor lady really wanted those beans and left upset. And while it was our first time there, he was just really rude about the simple questions we were asking. read more
