    Made fresh in front of you

    I've been going here forever sometimes there's a line but its always worth so good!!

    Sitting area to eat
    Arturo M.

    Tacos Poblanos near Inglewood absolutely deserves every bit of its five-star reputation. I found it by chance after Alicia Villarreal's concert while scrolling through nearby spots with great ratings, and I figured it was worth taking my grandparents. I've had tacos in Tijuana hundreds of times, so my expectations were high, but this place completely delivered. The flavor, texture, and authentic street taco taste reminded me of Mexico in the best way. I ordered one gringa, two tacos, and a torta, and if I had to rank them, the tacos were definitely the best, then the gringa, and finally the torta. If it's your first time, go for the tacos because they're what this place does best. The agua fresca situation was a bit confusing since they only had one left and it was almost gone, but that might have been because it was midweek. We went after the concert, and it was still very lively. The area isn't the safest-looking, but they have security on site who stays alert, which made me feel better. Parking was okay, though I can see it getting tight when it gets busier. The seating area is small and feels a little cramped because there are more display tables for food than actual tables for guests, so that's something I hope they expand. My grandpa ended up standing for a bit since space was limited, but the food made it worth it. For four people, we spent about fifty-six dollars, which was very reasonable for the amount and quality. We love supporting small local spots like this, and we'll definitely be coming back again.

    Long line, but it went quick. The food was delicious and the beans tasted homemade. I will be going more often. It's a drive but definitely worth it.

    Carne Asada tacos are fire!! Meat is smoky and well seasoned. The homemade tortillas are perfect in consistency and delicious! I had the mild salsa and it paired nicely with my taco. They give you a perfect amount of guac- I just sprinkled a tad bit of salt on it but next time I'll probably just have them make my taco upside down with the guac first, meat second and toppings last! I know I'm a lil different but that way the meat seasons the guac! Think in terms of like a burrito! This was easily one of the best street tacos that I've had in a very long time and at $3 a pop, it was a steal!! I came a little after opening so the pic I took is indicative of that but by the time I was leaving, the area was packed with people. Extra plus is there's a dessert truck on site that sells very reasonably priced crepes and goodies! Happy to of found my new Taco spot!

    Vampiro

    Delicious, casual taco spot. Came here for a very late dinner with my dad and boyfriend and parked on the street opposite. We paid in cash and ordered tacos, a Vampiro, and a quesadilla alongside a very generously sized horchata. The meat was smoky and sizzling, and smelled delicious. They gave us beans and onions on the side which was very nice of them. They have a good mix of salsas ranging in spice level. They had some searing next to the truck or you can also just opt for takeout.

    Wow. Just wow. Tacos here are the bomb. My favorite is cabeza, followed by asada. The Al pastor is a hit or miss in my opinion. Will probably skip that. Definitely get it with all the toppings (sans cilantro in my case). The guac topping is a must get. Generous portions. Reasonable price. Lines are long but it moves at a fairly reasonable pace. Highly recommend!

    Adobada taco.  Just OK.
    Tim S.

    This was my last meal in Los Angeles. I drove down and discovered how much of a cluster the parking lot is! I parked on the street about 2 blocks down. There were maybe 20 people in line when I got there. Mostly Hispanic, I was the lone gringo and probably stood out like a sore thumb lol. When I got up to the front of the line, I went with 5 tacos....2 asada, 2 adobada, and one chorizo. How were they? Carne Asada- They looked bomb! They tasted just ok though. Couple pieces of gristle in the taco, and the meat was kind of bland. It didn't have that smoky charcoal flavor like I was expecting. I also wasn't the biggest fan of their guacamole, either. It was rather bland also overpowered the taco for the most part. Adobada- These were a little bit better than the asada IMO, but the same things plagued them, too. Pork a little bland and the guacamole overtook the whole taco. Chorizo- This was my favorite of the 3. Nice crispy grilled sausage hacked up and thrown in a taco. It had a hot sauce on it too, and that was tasty. Would definitely get this one again...it had enough flavor and spice to shine through the guacamole. Am I coming back? Eh, maybe if I was in the area. I liked the vibe, and that they offer a lot of options, it's just that everything was just a little bit bland. As I was eating my tacos, I was eating them just to finish and not waste food, not because I was loving eating them (if that makes sense). The homemade tortillas are a nice touch, but even those, got cool fast and were a little gummy after a few minutes. Came here expecting greatness, and left feeling exactly what 3 stars is....just OK.

    Asada quesadillas, chorizo tacos and complimentary bean

    Hadn't been here in a long time and I'm glad that I came out with my friends. The food is amazing, fresh handmade tortillas, carbon cooked meats, fire salsas and all reasonably priced! Can't go wrong with anything here. With many businesses hurting with what's going on in the city, we have to do more to support the brave people who are still out there hustling! The parking inside sucks, so park outside in the street, yes it's in the a sketchy area but it's worth it. The people here are incredible and work efficiently, so while there is always a line, it moves pretty swiftly.

    Mulita with Al pastor
    Brian V.

    A taco stand/truck/compound located in the Huntington Park area. I say that because there is a truck but it's also connected to a few stands in the parking lot area. They specialize in Tijuana style (which to me is iconic for their tacos looking like it is almost rolled in a cone shape to hold lots of delicious guacamole). Also, it seems like the mulitas are huge. The vibe when I went was really chill because it was on the later side during the week. The service was friendly and helpful. It was really easy to order. I got my go to: a mulita and a couple of tacos. Seriously, the mulita was huge so I ended up taking some of that home. The meat here has a wonderful grilled flavor to it, and the salsas are fantastic. It's a little out-of-the-way for me from where I live, but I was so glad visiting this place. I am a big fan!

    Always a line  Located on the corner of S. Avalon Blvd and E. Slauson Ave
    Atta M.

    We go here every time we're in the area. Hands down the best tacos. Worth the wait in the long lines. They're fast and efficient here, so you won't be disappointed. Tried the carne asada, al pastor, chicken, and cabeza meat. All were excellent. Of course get everything on your tacos. The mulitas are way bigger than expected and really good. The place is pretty standard for an outdoor taco stand, but bigger. The parking can be a pain, but there's someone that helps out. There's also a crepe food truck that shares the parking lot. Really good sweet crepes, which are excellent after tacos.

    Carne Asada, Chorizo, Al Pastor
    Nate L.

    Did a self guided taco tour for my last full day in California. It definitely did not disappoint since I am from the East coast where the reputation of taco food trucks is far inferior. The total time for my self guided taco tour was 2.5 hours (started at 12PM on a Tuesday and ended at 2:30. There was a minimal wait due to the time so the total tour may vary depending on the day.) Feel free to check out my profile for other taco truck recommendations! Located next to a car wash so the parking situation was a bit peculiar. Make sure you check with the car wash staff before exiting your car. Last thing you would want is to have to move your car during a possibly intense taco eating session. Taco Reviews: Al Pastor- perfect amount of fat with meat. Might be too heavy on the guacamole for some people but I found it to be quite refreshing. Carne Asada- was tender and flavorful but could have been cooked a little less since it was dry compared to some other carne asada tacos I've had. I still finished the taco so it wasn't the worst. Chorizo- a lot of meat but not my favorite. Only finished half the taco as the chorizo flavor wasn't for me. I would definitely try to ask for crispier chorizo next time. Definitely try for yourself

    It was alright. Nice tortillas, meat was a little dry, they're pretty big tacos tho lots of meat

I picked chorizo as my protein option. I also, of course, had to also add the smoky grilled poblano chile for $1.25. It was SO good and FLAVORFUL - it didn't even need the salsas. Although, I will note that both the salsas were lovely. The flour tortilla was clearly freshly made. Also, it was a massive portion. I don't know what I was expecting.

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.

Payment: - They take Apple pay! :) Parking: - We found street parking nearby thankfully, but it might be hard to find in general due to the area.

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.

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.

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.
