    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!

    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.

    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.

    Made fresh in front of you

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

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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

    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.

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.

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. Parking is tricky since its street parking only.

I got this with asada meat and the meat was kind of chewy and not so flavorful on its own. Props to the tortilla though for not spilling everything out and holding it together well, but still a bit difficult to eat. I would ask for utensils when eating this dish. The green onion garnish was unique. I wish they gave more lime wedges because that helped elevate the dish. For $13 this wasn't too bad, but I'd rather get a better burrito from a street vendor. This is a casual eats type of place with both indoor and outdoor seating and tables. They also serve alcohol and even frozen alcoholic drinks. They have a free parking lot in front, but it can be competitive to get a spot. Overall, my experience here was just okay and I would opt for other spots.
