    The spread
    Ross S.

    This taco truck absolutely slaps, and is my favorite place to eat on the west side. Come anytime between about 3pm to midnight. You can pick between tacos, burritos, quesadillas and they make it all right in front of you. If there is a long line don't let it deter you. The crew is out there everyday, and are the hardest working, most consistent staff I've ever seen. 5 out of 5 stars earns time and time again!

    Carne asada tacos w all the fixings

    My late night go to spot!! Their tacos de asada hit every single time! The aguas are tasty and the salsas have good flavor and spice. There's usually a line but so worth it. Support local!

    4++ the popular taco stand that's located right outside the Whole Foods on Lincoln. I honestly can't remember if I actually had their tacos before, but I've seen it plenty of times when driving in the area. The folks are friendly and very efficient. They have to be since they get a pretty good amount of volume here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe is pretty frenetic cause it's a very popular spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered three tacos here and I love that you are able to do the toppings and salsa yourself. Definitely reasonably priced, delicious tacos here. A great spot in the area and with easy to find parking. This is super helpful especially since it's in a busy area.

    You can tell how good a taco stand is by the size of their Al pastor block and the line in front of the stand. This one both are massive. I'm not sure if it's because of Whole Foods foot traffic or the food taste but, the taste is a winner. They got the los of condiments too, salsas, onion, and cilantro. The Al pastor and asada is my favorite. They grill the asada right there in the street. Big winner in my book.

    Believe the hype here!! Tacos La Guerra is a sidewalk staple on Lincoln Road in front of Whole Foods. The line is long but the flavors and amazing aromas keep you company while you wait. The line moved very fast, the employees clearly knew how to bang out quality and quantity! You get to watch the chef slicing and preparing the Al Pastor tacos right in front of you as you walk by. Each taco is $2.50 and they accept cash and credit card. You can build your own tacos after paying with spicy salsa, tomatillo salsa, spicy pickled radish, limes, and spicy vegetables! These were probably the best tacos I've ever had in my life! Thanks for the recommendation @how.kev.eats!

    The tacos here are outstanding, and (as street tacos should be) they're surprisingly cheap. My wife and I got 7 tacos for less than $20. In a world where restaurants are increasingly trying to price gouge people on tacos (charging $4-$5/taco for street tacos), it was nice to get some of the best street tacos I've eaten for half of what some of my local places charge.

    Trash can blocking employee, why not put it behind the fence where it's not blocking?
    Derek B.

    TOUCHED TRASHCAN while making food. Food preparer making my burrito repeatedly held and moved trashcan with hands as he was handling my food. Moved trash can, grabbed raw onions. Adjusted trash can, grabbed cilantro. Moved trash can, folded my burrito. After he prepared my burrito, he dug his hands into the bins of onions, cilantro, and rice to mix them up. In the photo, you can see the trash can is blocking his path to other parts of the stand. I think he was using it as a shelf? There's even a hand towel he placed there to wipe his hands occasionally. Why not put the trash can behind the fence where there is room so it does not block you? Line was long I didn't want to make a deal about it since I love the food and support this establishment. I hate to do this to a local joint that is one of my favorites where I frequent on occasion twice in a week. I'm hoping this message reaches the owners of this taco stand so they can fix it.

    Al Pastor

    Homie showed me this place for Grad week 2025 day 3 last week and he's a visitor from Chicago! and in the Local one here in LA!! Anyways, the line was super long that night but worth the wait. I had to try their staple first which was the Al pastor Tacos. I got 4 of them and had to try them plain first. Omg the meat was so delicious and juicy coming off the grill! The slices were very great! 4 tacos had a ton of meat!! The salsas even made the tacos very exceptional! My favorite was the creamy chipotle. I was full after the meal. I definitely have to come back and try the other taco meats even a burrito or Torta! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lastly the ambience was a vibe near Santa Monica.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] What else can you want!!

    One of the best taco stands in LA. They have delicious tacos and burritos that are packed with flavor, ingredients and spicy sauces. The entire assembly is cooked right in front of you and the toppings are fresh and authentic to mexican cuisine. I highly recommend the burrito with Al Pastor. Line can get long, but always moves quickly. They also accept credit!

    El pastor tacos! So good

    My friends and I recently did an LA taco tour, visiting various storefronts to find our favorite…read morespot. Sonoratown was our first stop as it was highly recommended by my boyfriend's brother, and it did not disappoint. It immediately earned a spot in our top five favorite taco spots for carne asada in all of Southern California! The location that we went to is located in between Elysium DTLA and Perfumeria Starlux on E 8th St in downtown LA. There is only paid(?) street parking around the area that could be extremely difficult to find during work days. Because we couldn't snag a spot, my friends and I opted for takeout and didn't end up eating until about 30 minutes later. Despite the travel time, the tacos were still absolutely incredible--I can only imagine how spectacular it tastes fresh! My friends and I ordered the carne asada tacos, and my boyfriend opted for the cabeza. Before I even took a full bite, I tasted a piece of the loose carne asada and was blown away; it was perfectly cooked with a wonderful tenderness and deep smokiness. The use of a single, thin, handmade flour tortilla--rather than the standard double corn--was a total game-changer and exactly how I preferred my tacos. The salsas were equally impressive, offering fantastic flavor and a great kick. My boyfriend's cabeza taco was just as standout, featuring super-tender meat with a rich, savory profile. Wowowow! Between the exceptional meat quality, bold flavors, and great value, this is easily one of the best taco spots I've visited. It's a huge bummer that they don't have a location down in San Diego, but we will definitely be back!

    Came on a Saturday around 12 pm. Line wasn't too bad and the employees were friendly and helpful…read more There are a few seats both inside and outside, but parking is tough. Mostly crowded streets with metered parking. I got the chicken burrito. The tortilla was definitely the highlight and what really makes the burrito. Fresh, flavorful, and great texture. The filling itself tasted more like a standard burrito otherwise. Also tried the avocado sauce, which costs extra but was really good and worth adding. Overall solid spot. I'd come back to try the beef burrito and the chivichanga next time.

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.

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.

These were truly the epitome of street tacos and absolutely nothing about the vibe, the service, and the FOOD, disappointed.

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.
