This taco stand is seriously ripping people off. They're charging tax, and the prices are different depending on whether you pay with cash or card... on top of that, it's being charged per item. Honestly, it's really disappointing to see a Latino owned business treating its own community this way. We should be supporting our community, not taking advantage of our people. My friend recently had an experience here that was extremely disappointing. Her card didn't go through, but the cashier didn't notice that the payment had been declined and gave her the food anyway. Once my friend realized the payment hadn't gone through, she immediately went back inside and politely explained what had happened because she wanted to make it right. Instead of handling the situation professionally, the cashier became aggressive and accused her of stealing. My friend was extremely embarrassed and upset, especially because she is a local resident who has consistently supported this business. Mistakes happen, but there's a respectful way to handle them. Unfortunately, after this experience, we will not be returning. I would encourage others to consider supporting another local business that values and respects its customers. read more

Lmao changed my review because I literally waited 6 hours for their shift change (the First Lady was deadass getting in the car to leave when I walked back up) and whatya fkin know they had rice. I wish she would've told me she didn't understand me instead of pretending she knows what the fck I'm saying so we can figure it out or get someone to translate. Don't confidently tell me no we don't have it, and I'm like yall have no rice today??, and she tells me no. Just ask me what the fck I'm talking bout shorty. Idk if it's a language barrier but I get a side of rice here all the time. Literally come here once or twice a week and get fkin rice. Today this lady looked at me like I was insane and said they had no rice which is crazy bc what rice do they put in the burrito then. Wasted a 15 min walk just to go home empty handed and start up my car and find another truck. read more

A friend of some youngins I know recommended this truck. Other food trucks are in the area, but they come and go while this truck is a constant. So that has to count for something. Good food. Veggie burrito was really good. Wanted a bean burrito but didn't seem be on menu. Service was good and helpful. Ambiance is taco truck good. Nice seating, canopy, condiments, security guard. Maybe even a bathroom with service station nearby! English is good tho Spanish might be more appreciated. read more

tl;dr only the taco al pastor at this popular LA taco truck stood out; the other proteins and the mulitas were disappointing to say the least As evening falls over the city of Los Angeles, countless street taquerias raise their EZ-Ups and fire up their grills. However, only a tiny fraction of these pop-ups boasts a substantial crowd -- unsurprisingly, the bustling operations tend to be among the best. One popular taqueria is Tacos Tamix, a mini-fleet of loncheras specializing in Mexico City-style al pastor. Gone are Tamix's streetside trombos, but the Tamix trucks still have sizeable queues late into the night. I first visited the Picu-Union truck on Hoover. The taxi-yellow lonchera and its vibrant LED lights pop out against an otherwise dimly lit block. Parking within the Mobil gas station lot is like a game of Tetris. Metal folding chairs and pop-up tables are scattered underneath E-Z Up canopies. Order numbers, shouted out over the intercom, occasionally break the hum of street traffic. A security guard watches over the operation. We arrived for a late weekend dinner, and Tamix maintained a steady stream of customers. We were able to order quickly, and our food was prepared within 10 minutes. We tried multiple Tacos con Queso (Al Pastor, Asada, and Chorizo), as well as Mulitas (Carnitas). The palm-sized tortillas were sprinkled with a moderate portion of meat and an even layer of crispy cheese. Of the meats, I was most impressed by the juicy, flavorful al pastor; however, I was surprised that the taco was not garnished with pineapple. Meanwhile, I found the remaining proteins to be tasty but dry. Otherwise, the tacos were clearly superior to Tamex's sad excuse for mulitas, which were bogged down by flimsy and soggy (rather than crispy and fried) tortillas. Our bill ran $15 (relatively reasonable by LA taqueria standards nowadays), of which half belonged to the disappointing mulitas. While the late-night hours were a major plus, only the taco al pastor was memorably enjoyable; otherwise, the lackluster menu isn't worth a visit out of your way. read more

This taco truck is well situated at the mobile gas station corner lot. They have a variety of options and the pictures of the food are plastered on the truck for easy visibility. They also have a large condiment station for self service and a seating area under a red tarp. I hear this is a famous taco truck that's been parked at that corner for a while now. I recommend the alambre plate read more

Went because it's in the USC lyft zone, and was open pretty late! they take card, and there's a very small area to sit at after you order food I got the mulitas, which was just OK. personally, i prefer the mulitas from the stands that are around Ralph's. (i got both a pork and beef option for the mulitas and the price was around 14$!) wait time was reasonable and the service was nice. i think id only come back if my friends were going, its not a stand i would actively go visit read more

The meat was bone-dry, and the tortillas were stiff and hard. When your taco cracks instead of folds, and the filling tastes like jerky instead of fresh carne, nothing else on the plate can make up for it. To top it off, a stray dog was wandering around the truck like part of the staff. Honestly, the food was so rough that the dog probably would've enjoyed it more than I did. Twenty years ago, before the taco truck boom, this would've been passable back when you didn't expect much and were just happy something was open. But today, with so many great trucks raising the bar, dry meat and hard tortillas aren't just outdated they're unacceptable. read more

Really good tacos. My favorite is the tripa or al pastor taco. The burritos are also filling and very good. The line can get long and the parking sometimes difficult depending on how busy they are. read more

The tacos here are AMAZING! They are small but delicious and it's so much better with their sauce. The make the tacos very fast everytime unless they're really busy. Service is very good, the employees who make the tacos look like they enjoy doing it. Right outside a corner in a gas station. So the ambiance can get a bit loud but honestly not a big deal. LOVE THIS PLACE! Love Tacos. read more

Delicious taco spot. Found in a gas station and has plenty of seating if you want to eat there. Salsa bar has all the goodies. They have a cash option per taco which makes the math easy if you happen to have any. Tacos came out fast and quick. read more

Tacos Tamix - Menu - Food Trucks Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This is my go to all the time when I am in LA. They are mainly known for their al pastor meat, so I typically get that in a burrito or taco. Their food had very reasonable prices and they do not skimp on the meat or any ingredients. I love that they have a little cart with all the salsas! My favorite is the guacamole one and the onions with habanero. The lady that takes the orders is usually chill. The cooks are awesome. They have chairs and tables set out for those who want to eat there, but people typically take them home. read more

Top tier taco truck in the USC area - their al pastor tacos hit and the only thing I have to say is that I wish their tortillas were bigger so I could fit more toppings on the taco because the onion+cilantro+tomato+salsa+lime combo and their meats are all a college student needs for a successful taco run read more

Tacos are great! Beware: They will sneak in additional charges and seems like they might charge you the exact amount you spent 4 to 5 days after. read more

The lady who takes the orders is definitely jaded and angry. She was rude to the person before me. And when I asked for a mulita she replied, gringa? I said mulita again then she replied, burrito? Like wtf kind of racist bs did I just go through? They ended up making the customers order that was behind me before my order. This pissed me off because I placed my order before the guy even got there and ordered. I've never received bad service before at a taco truck. It's always decent at least. Don't support bitter businesses! There's plenty of better positive taco trucks. Will be treated by the color of your skin here(shocking). And the mulita was trash. Soft soggy tortilla. read more

La comida muy rica, me gustó mucho y hay donde sentarse. Las salsas estaban ricas también. Recomiendo ir.

Hands down favorite taco spot. This location is inside of a gas station lot (near USC). The tacos are smaller than other spots but the tacos are sooo good. Haven't had an issue with service as it was always quite speedy and employees are friendly. Sauces and onion/cilantro is available outside the truck (self-serve) and they have tables available outside to eat. I've never had an issue with parking either! read more

Just had an al pastor burrito and it was possibly the best one I've ever had in my entire life! Got it with cheese added which came out to $12 total.. they're $11 without cheese. Condiment bar has salsa, limes, radishes, cilantro onion mix, and onion with habaneros chunks in it. The red and guac salsa are so full of flavor and fresh. Give them a try, I promise you won't regret it. read more

So solid for the price and what's in the area. Perfectly juicy, savory, and bursting with flavor. It honestly can't get better than this in the USC area - great for students in the free Lyft zone! read more

Tacos Tamix might have some of the best al pastor in LA. Go later in the evening, when the spit has been revolving for some time. The meat will be crispier and perhaps sliced thinly. Food: The al pastor is red like fire and right off the trompo. The thin slices are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. You top it with pico de gallo and salsa verde that has a nice kick. The pineapple sliver is so juicy. It's like a dessert bite at the end of every taco. The juices from the meat and the salsa are commingling so you need to bite strategically. Each taco quickly disappears one right after another until all you have is crinkled foil and empty salsa tubs. Crunchy! Chewy! Muy delicioso! Location: The bright yellow truck is in the corner of a gas station, at the corner of Hoover and 20th. They have a few tables arranged by the truck. read more

It's a decent taco truck nothing out of the ordinary. I will say though they always sneak in additional tip between 5-10$ Tried it a couple times to verify i wasn't mistaken and now i just mention im tipping in cash or not to add that fee. read more

Solid tacos place in South LA. Workers mostly speak Spanish so make sure you know your receipt order # in Spanish lol. Bring cash bc there's a fee for under $15 using card. Most prices are transparent, but not all. Ex. I didn't see drink prices on the menu. Can get a little pricy for large orders. Service is fast, just trying to get through the line quickly. Props to them. Really enjoyed the pollo & al pastor tacos. Al pastor came with warm pineapple slices, a little dry in the taco but with lime and salsa, just fine. Pollo had great flavor, no complaints. Also had the gringa w/ cabeza, not my fav but I could see someone else enjoying it. Horchata was good with prominent cinnamon taste, though sweet. I liked that there was a separate sides station in the front. I'm sure it saves workers time & makes sure customers get it how they want it. You can fill up sauce containers & condiments to go. There are a couple tables in front for seating and a few parking spaces if you're getting here on four wheels. Good fast food up until 2 AM, Id rather be here than at any American chain. read more

I understand the $1 tax because I used a card on a purchase under $15. But why is the $11 burrito with cheese $12.48. ??? read more

Good al pastor tacos, but probably a bit dry, compared to Leo's for instance. Other than that - everything you can expect in a good food truck - all the usual sauces and toppings. There was no line and convenient parking on Sunday night. If you are on a quest to try most of the taco trucks that have good reviews on Yelp (as I am) - definitely stop by, you won't be disappointed. read more

Not bad tacos! Came with a few friends after finding that Chato was closed this Tuesday (so sad!!). I got 4 tacos, which are $1.50 each - al pastor, carne asada, chorizo and lengua. The tacos here in general are a little dry - from the tortilla to the meat (especially the poor lengua was not the melt-in-the-mouth experience at all). Adding some of the salsas, pickled onions, and pineapple did help and overall they were still tasty and fulfilled the craving. They just weren't able to match my high other taco standards. I do like that there's little tables and chairs for you to sit at as you eat, plentiful parking, and lots of toppings (radishes, limes, salsas, onions two ways, you name it) for you to put on your tacos yourself. Another item on the menu that caught my eye but I didn't try today was the gringo, a quesadilla-type thing with ham, cheese, and pineapple! read more

That was the worst Carne Asada burrito I ever had. It taste like pet food and didn't finish it. I'll eat anything. It was so finely chopped. It was the consistency of paste. I'm assuming the meat was really poor quality so you can't keep it in chunks. Either way that was by far the worst Mexican food I've ever had and I ate Mexican food in Michigan one time. read more

All I have to say this is the best taco truck in LA. The flavor is 10/10 and the quality as well. Amazing service i recommend to everyone !!!!!! read more

Very soggy couldn't even finish the burrito without having a heart attack. Tacos were okay maybe just cause it was close to closing time read more

Tacos Tamix - Burrito de asada - Food Trucks Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I used to frequent this place during my college days at USC, and I'm glad the quality hasn't changed over the years. The truck is located in the parking lot of the Mobil gas station on Hoover. I'm pretty sure it's within USC's free Lyft range as well. Best part of this place is the horchata. I really like it cause it's not grainy unlike some other places. The pastor tacos are best and the asada is pretty good too. I recently started ordering cabeza as well, but it's not that great here. It was kinda bland and a bit disappointing. Prices for tacos range depending on the choice of meat: $1.25 for asada and pastor, $1.50 for cabeza. Horchata is $2. Spent $6 overall for a solid meal, so I can't complain here. read more
