    Al pastor tacos - undressed
    Brian V.

    The name of the game here is the al pastor. Some of the best I've had in the city and arguably the best. I was on a taco kick and I heard this place was known for their al pastor, so I just went straight for the al pastor in taco form and that's it. So good! Perfectly seasoned and well sliced. I was excited to get them and then dress them up at the self service salsa bar. I have to agree - when it comes to the al pastor, I would say it's as good as it gets here. The vibe here is fun. It felt like I was invited to the neighborhood cook out at a very buys intersection. Which leads to one of the - if not only - cons of the location. It's busy around here. The place sets up in an auto shop parking lot. And it's really busy all around. I had to circle the block before giving up on finding street parking and just went into the lot. Luckily, there was a kind lady pointing out and guiding me into a parking spot.

    my friend recommended this spot in LA. this is a taco truck in the heart of los angeles, and they offer a diverse Mexican menu. i ordered 4 suadero tacos, with everything on it. the spice level is above high, so be cautious with your hot sauce i would also recommend this taco truck; we took our food to go, since we ain't see much seating this time around, but the food was generous with portions and the quality was elite with every bite

    Is a lot of tacos in Los Angeles and you can find good and bad ones, is a special ramification of this huge spectrum of tacos, this ones are called drunk tacos, where you go after having some alcoholic beverage. I think this are some solid 10/10

    A regular on the "Top Al Pastor" lists for LA, I've had Los Guichos bookmarked for years and finally forced our way here by making a slight detour. It's conveniently located right off the 10, we parked inside near the tire shop though there are lots of "no parking" signs it seemed OK and lots of people just pulled up and parked right next to the truck. Compared to typical Al Pastor the unique attributes here are: -A smokier charred flavor thanks to an overactive burner, tasted great and is surprisingly mild in smokiness and not dry. -More noticeable heat, if you like spicy its not as sweet as normal Al Pastor and has a pleasant hit of heat. Al Pastor tacos and burritos were OK, my order came with way less onion and cilantro than I like but the meat and tortillas were decent. There is salsa outside the truck in squeeze bottles and limes and radish in open containers, there were flies buzzing around the limes and radish and I risked it by grabbing some lines. Not sure why it's so beloved, there are plenty of other places with better Al Pastor, could have been better based on the high accolades.

    Amazing tacos and burritos at this spot. DO NOT COME HERE if you are from a higher end area and are not used to rubbing elbows with homies, cholos, and other locals. These are amazing cholo tacos. Coming here you have two guarantees.... drum roll.... you will chill with the homies and you will eat amazing tacos and burritos. My kids absolutely love this place. Leave your gat at home, bring loads of cash because burritos are not $5 dollars anymore, Holmes. You need to adjust for post-covid inflation. Good food is really really expensive. Hope you enjoy it. Highly recommended. Jordan

    I rate this taco truck 5+ stars, I've been craving a bomb carne asada burrito with everything in it. The rice beans, onions and cilantro. burrito, it did not disappoint. So juicy and delicious.

    Best pastor tacos in a 100 km radius

    Listen to Tio y Tia. When we say this place is legit, this place is legit. We've told countless of our gringo friends to try this place, have any of them gone? Oh no. It's too sketch, they say. It's in a bad neighborhood, they say. They never been to Juarez. For us....Tire Shop Tacos, that's what we call it....is THE best pastor north of La Frontera. To be honest, it gives GDL and CDMX a run for the money. Pastor and Churros, that's where it's at. We come here after every game and it is always jumping. Here's the deal. Anytime after dark and you are good to go. Pull into the parking lot, pay attention to the security guard, he is packing and he is there to keep it chill. Weekend nights they have the churros. Tip the candy abuela, and get in line. It moves quick, don't mess around with anything but the pastor. They take cash and card, price is fair. Load up whatever you want with it, cilantro and onions, the green salsa goes well with the pastor. Would not advise any of the salsas with the churros, you are welcome to try, but maybe don't let anyone see you. You can stand with everyone and eat, you will have new friends by your second taco. You can pop the trunk of your car and eat there. For the love of all that is holy, please do not sit in your car and eat. That's not how to fit in. Of course, if anyone in your group can't stand for long, then sit in your car. Just saying that you want to eat these standing up, slightly bent over so nothing gets on your shirt. Because they are that good. Buen provecho!

    1 Star -- Extremely disappointing experience…read more Unfortunately, our experience at this restaurant was horrible from the moment we arrived. When I first arrived, I gave them the name of our reservation, and the staff had no idea what I was talking about. We were a party of 6, yet they seated us at a tiny table that was clearly not appropriate for our group. When it was time to order, my husband very clearly told the waiter which pasta he wanted and even showed him a picture of the item on the menu. The waiter looked at it and agreed. My food came out, but my husband's food never did. We eventually found out that his order was never even put in. What made it worse was when the waiter came out saying, "Oh my God, I thought you said you didn't want it." Everyone at the table looked at him completely confused because my husband had literally told him what he wanted and showed him the menu item. Instead of simply acknowledging the mistake and fixing it, we were left waiting. On top of that, trying to get anyone's attention was nearly impossible. We had to repeatedly try to get someone's attention just to get basic service. Then there was another issue with the entrance fee. My sister-in-law had messages showing that we were told that if we ate at the restaurant, we would no longer have to pay the entrance fee. We showed those messages to the woman handling the wristbands, but instead of looking into it or speaking to someone who could clarify the situation, she simply said, "I don't know, you have to pay." No attempt was made to investigate or resolve the issue. After everything that happened, they still added a tip to the bill, despite the extremely poor service we received. Overall, this was one of the most frustrating restaurant experiences I've had. Poor communication, poor service, lack of organization, and no effort to make things right. I definitely will not be recommending this place to anyone, and we will not be returning.

For Dine LA, I started with the Tostada Campechana, which was like an elevated ceviche with scallops, tuna, yellowtail, avocado, and a citrus sesame sauce. Everything tasted super fresh and the citrus gave it the perfect balance. The Bone Marrow Mole was rich, flavorful, and came with a generous portion and toast. For my main course, I had the skirt steak, which was cooked perfectly--tender, well-seasoned, and delicious with the green sauce. The homemade tortillas were amazing too.

Since they live in an area with limited Mexican cuisine, I chose Guelaguetza, a James Beard Award-winning restaurant with authentic Oaxacan recipes, something completely new to them. They were excited to try something different, as they don't have many Mexican food options where they live, and I wanted to expand their culinary horizons. We were greeted with complimentary chips - some were drizzled with mole and Oaxacan cheese, which we requested refills of, and others were served with red and green salsas. The green salsa had a nice kick to it. For our meal, we shared two large dishes: the Festival de Moles ($53.00) and the Tlayuda Guelaguetza ($27.50). The Tlayuda Guelaguetza, which is also called a Mexican pizza, was layered with bean and chicharron spread, queso fresco, cabbage, quesillo, beef tasajo, pork Cecina, and pork chorizo. While I've always wanted to try Tlayuda, this one wasn't good, and I wouldn't recommend it. The pork chorizo was particularly unappetizing, and neither my parents nor I enjoyed the dish, feeling it was a waste of money. The Festival de Moles ($53.00) featured four individual moles - negro, rojo, coloradito, and estofado - with a choice of shredded chicken breast or pork spare ribs. We opted for a mix of both and found this dish to be excellent, and we would definitely order it again. They were very impressed with the moles, and enjoyed them for the first time. The only minor complaint was a lack of tortillas to dip with the mole, though they did provide some rice. We ordered several drinks, which significantly increased the bill. I was surprised we spent $200 on lunch for three people with only two meals. I started with the Pasion De Oaxaca ($16.00), a mezcal, tequila, passion fruit, grapefruit juice, and tajin cocktail that was excellent, perfectly balanced, strong, but not too sweet. For my second drink, I had the refreshing Aquas Frescas - Jamaica ($6), which was perfect after my meal. I even took it to go, and they kindly provided a cup. My dad ended up taking it, as he needed it with his medication (they're old!). My parents, who were trying mole for the first time, were very impressed and really enjoyed it. Our only minor complaint was the lack of tortillas to dip in the mole, although they did provide some rice. The food took a little longer to come out, even though the restaurant wasn't busy. I imagine this type of cuisine is labor-intensive, and you can't rush the cooking time for mole. You just have to trust the process! We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Guelaguetza Restaurante and will definitely be back. I can see why they're a James Beard Award-winning restaurant; you can get authentic Oaxacan flavors in LA! We're lucky to live here.
