super nice and amazing customer service and AMAZING tacos!! will definetly be back for sure :)))

Aka Villas #3, the seafood specialty stand. Got three tacos which came out to about $18 after tax and it was well worth!!! No Soy Pulpo (Octopus): My fav of the bunch! Super tender and flavorful. El Taco Dorado Asado (Grilled Mahi Mahi): looks smaller sized. I was worried if there would be enough flavor but it still delivered! They cleverly used season mashed bean to help achieve that. Camaron Salvaje Mexicano (Fried Shirmp): fresh, tasty, crunchy, and sprinkled in with mango pico de gallo... I would also order this again. Although there is no sauce bar like the main meat location, they still have home made sauces available, my fav being the chilling oil like sauce that they called salsa matcha. All taco served on their signature blue corn tortilla, which are slightly thinner than the main location, but I actually prefer this change bc it pairs better with lighter seafood. Overall this place hits the spot and I def plan to go back to try more items on the menu. Do note that they are closed on Mondays! read more

I tried Villa's Tacos and ordered four different tacos, and none of them were misses. My favorite of the four was a toss up between the battered mahi mahi taco or the sleeper hit, the sweet potato taco. Refried beans and guac were both bomb as well. Also want to callout the service, the guy helping us out at the register and serving the food was unbelievably nice and had a huge smile the entire time he was helping us. Loved his energy and would come back for that alone. Good vibe all around, plenty of seating, and easy parking on the streets nearby, read more

Villas Tacos - rice, beans, sweet potato taco (top left), 3x pulpo tacos (bot. right), 2 beer battered mahi mahi tacos, 1 battered shrimp taco (bot. left) - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Between this location (which sells seafood) and the OG one down the street, I actually quite prefer this one! I ordered the trio - Baja style shrimp (battered) - Baja style fish (battered) - Octopus Out of the 3, the octopus was for sure my favorite. It was so good. I was also very pleasantly surprised at how large and filling each of the tacos were. Each of them had so much flavor, and the sauces complimented them very well. While you can get sides of salsas/sauces, honestly I didn't feel like the tacos needed anything extra. I would recommend just trying the tacos as they come before adding any other sauces to it. I will probably go to this Villa's location exclusively now. The seafood tacos here were just so much better than their selection of tacos at their other location. PEANUT ALLERGY ALERT: Be sure to inform them if you have a peanut allergy. One of their sauces contains peanuts. Parking: There is only street parking from what I gathered. So be prepared to park and walk. Best to go here when it's not too busy. We went during lunch time. read more

The tacos here are fantastic! Fish is what is on the menu at this location. We tried one of each and they were all extremely enjoyable! Service is wonderful, they are so friendly and upbeat. Not to mention hard-working. They get through the lines quickly with a smile. Prices are fair and the flavors are spot on! They do have a bit of outside seating or it is packaged well to go. Highly recommended if you are looking for some authentic and flavorful fish tacos in the area! read more

We have been to standard villas tacos location in highland park, which we liked. So we had to stop by the seafood location. Kicked it off with a cucumber and lemon drink, solid refreshing on a sunny day. Food wise: surf n turf taco (our runner up favorite dish), octopus taco (octopus cooked well, flavor was tasty and the potato pairs well), fried shrimp taco (the shrimp is well battered, but nothing crazy), ceviche (refreshing, citrus forward. Would like to see more protein), and the fried fish taco (well battered, a tier above the shrimp taco in terms of taste). They do stuff the tacos, it can get a bit messy. Overall, it's solid. However, we didn't walk away wow'd. We both preferred the standard villas location over the seafood spot in terms of food. Service was great. If you want to switch it up give this spot a try. read more

My favorite taco spot. My go to is the combo plate with two pulpo tacos. The employees are always very friendly, and even though the food takes a while, the quality and taste of the food makes the wait worth it.

What was once La Estrella, one of my favorite spots to grab asada fries when I was in high school, is now home to the seafood-focused restaurant and third location from Villas Tacos, serving some very unique Japanese-Mexican fusion seafood tacos. When I arrived, there was only a small crowd with about two people ahead of me in line. The cashier was super kind and gave me a heads-up that the wait time would be around 30 minutes. I appreciated the transparency and decided to stick it out since I'd been wanting to try this place for a while. I ordered the Camarón Salvaje Mexicano taco, the Mar y Tierra taco, and an Oaxacan horchata, which came out to about $25. The wait ended up being closer to 45+ minutes, but I passed the time chatting with a friend on the phone and taking in the space. Since it was my first time visiting since they opened, I enjoyed admiring the murals and overall look of the restaurant. There's also seating in the back near the train tracks where I ended up enjoying my meal, though seating is limited. Flavor-wise, the Camarón Salvaje Mexicano taco was definitely the star of the show for me. The beer-battered shrimp was crunchy, fresh, and loaded with toppings. It was a little messy to eat, but honestly in the best way possible. The Mar y Tierra taco was OK, though not something I'd personally rush to order again. Unfortunately, the Oaxacan horchata didn't quite hit the mark for me. The texture was grainy and the flavor tasted somewhat watered down. While I waited, I noticed the crowd steadily growing and the energy picking up. The owner, Victor Villa, was recently featured during the Super Bowl Halftime Show alongside Bad Bunny, so I wasn't surprised to see the hype bringing people in. They're clearly doing something right, and I love seeing successful local businesses thrive in the neighborhood where I grew up. My only small gripe was the lack of personal space near the pickup area. When my name was called, some people waiting for their own orders were a little reluctant to move aside so I could grab my food. Totally understandable that everyone's excited for their tacos, but a little awareness and courtesy goes a long way. Overall, it was a fun and unique dining experience that I'm glad I finally got to try. I'd definitely come back for the shrimp taco, and I'm still curious to try the Wild Mahi Mahi taco and the ¡No Soy Pulpo! taco next time. read more

I'm a seafood girlie lately so this Villa's location was a must try for me. Same blue corn tortillas and salsa, just different and elevated protein options and fillings. There's one meat option, Mar y Tierra, which is a seabass and a5 wagyu taco. I'd recommend 2 or 3 tacos, or the combo meal which comes with 2 tacos, rice and beans and a drink. My favorites are the octopus and shrimp tacos. The rice bran batter on the shrimp and Mahi tacos are so tasty and hold well. Their mango salsa is also sososo good. Their vegetarian options are elevated as well. They have squash and mushroom tacos, better than some vegetarian restaurants I've tried. The couple times I've been here the wait has been longer compared to their other location, even before the Super Bowl hype. The space is limited and street parking can be tricky so I'd recommend taking it to go. read more

From the moment I pull up to the moment that I park it is such a vibe to come here. I'm not even following the bandwagon, but I was told by somebody personally that the food is good. So I went. I was not disappointed. The customer service is just exceptional and off the wall. You actually do not ever experience this customer service ever! anywhere you go. The staff member was not only polite, friendly and hospitable, but she just gave off a vibe how hospitality is something that is enjoyable. And that is something that is not experienced anymore now. And if you disagree with me, send me a message and we can have a battle. The octopus was so meaty and fulfilling and flavorful. The salsa were not spicy, but just enhanced all the flavors altogether. I will most definitely return and recommend. read more

Second time at Villa's tacos and it did not disappoint! I had the octopus tacos and battered mahi tacos. The creamy chipotle sauce really hit the spot.

Villa's exclusively seafood only taco spot does not disappoint!! Randomly was in the area and stopped here for a bite. We had the octopus taco and grilled fish and both were incredibly delicious and unique!! Fairly priced for the quality as each taco is made to order, and interesting mix of grilled and fried options, some with a Japanese twist! We also had their oaxacan horchata which was a nice, not too sweet, alternative. There's a small bar for seating as well as a handful of tables around the corner! Will definitely be back to try more of the menu and highly recommend!! There is a combo plate avail with 2 tacos and rice/beans which looks to be a great deal if you are feeling hungry! read more

Villas Tacos - Octopus taco, grilled fish - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Villas tacos focusing on fresh seafood! Got the chance to try their new location serving up some seafood tacos. The spicy creamy sauce with the fresh salsa with mango, onion, lime, and tomato paired so well with the freshly fried Mahi Mahi and Shrimp. The seafood is good quality. The shrimp are giant, plump, and not overly cooked but im not sure it's fresh since the texture of the shrimp is a little soft and not as bouncy but besides that's fact it's still a really good shrimp taco. I was really most impressed by the light and airy batter. It looked thick but it was light, crispy, crunchy, airy, seasoned and probably the best batter I've had that's en coated fish/shrimp. Was also super impressed with the handmade blue corn tortillas. They were soft but help their integrity despite the huge piece of shrimps and fish. Great vibes and friendly neighborhood service! read more

Villas Tacos - Shrimp and Mayo Mahi - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Not your usual taco experience. For one, you get blue corn tortillas as the base, and the fillings are next level. This location (#3) has a different menu than the others, with a seafood focus; things like grilled octopus, mahi mahi, dorado, mushrooms -- pretty wild options for tacos. My beer-battered mahi mahi was awesome, with a nice crisp outside batter and big chunks of flavorful fish inside, with a lovely hint of heat. Two tacos were more than enough to fill me up. Folks at the counter were super helpful and friendly, great service. Not much seating at this location, and a train nearby, so I'd advise taking it to go. read more

I tried Villa's Tacos 3, which is a seafood spin on the original spot. I actually came here first thinking it was the original location. After visiting the actual original and loving it, I came back to this location right after to try the seafood versions. I wasn't disappointed at all. I tried six different tacos. The sweet potato was a sneaky good choice and ended up being my favorite. I really liked the beer battered fish and the shrimp tacos. The octopus taco was also really good, and the Wagyu one tasted great. The Wagyu taco was 12$, which is a little pricey for a single taco but worth trying. The service was phenomenal and you have to try their Mexican chili oil. It's amazing and goes perfectly with these tacos. I'd buy a jar of just that chili oil if I could. read more

I love Villa's tacos. I know they get a lot of hype... and I think they live up to it. I have had it probably 5 different times now and it is always really good. You can get a regular taco but.. why? Definitely get the Queso Tacos. The asada is the best. My wife is vegetarian and the black beans and cactus is her favorite by far. These tacos are so flavorful. And all of the salsas at the salsa bar are top-notch. The thing is, you don't even need to add them to the tacos because the tacos come appropriately salsa-ed and stuff but I still love trying all the salsas. read more

Finally made it to Villa's (fish) Tacos in HP! Hands down, a well made taco: blue corn tortillas, seafood options that are tender and juicy-delicious, and the hallmark of any taco -- great salsas! The staff is friendly and ready to prep your next great meal. Loved the fish tacos, pulpo was out when I arrived (soooo popular!), and the camote taco was perfect . Summed it up nicely with an horchata and a pepino drink. Street parking only so plan for that or tell your partner to get off and order at the window :p while you circle back! Also an excellent spot to carry your food over to the park and chill when in HP. read more

I liked it. Was craving some fish and shrimp tacos and this hit the spot. This Villa's Tacos specializes in mariscos. I got the camaron salvaje mexicano (shrimp), pulpo (squid), and taco dorado asado (mahi mahi). I liked all of them. I liked the thinner batter on the shrimp. The pineapple habanero salsa has some legit spice to it. 4 tacos was decently filling for a low-key fatty like me. Service was good. Friendly staff. Only one table on the side so not much for seating. It's probably better as a to go option. There's street parking but you might have to walk a block or two. read more

Saw the harsh ratings from their opening week and felt the need to add my contribution in the hopes of properly rebalancing this location's star average. I love Villa's Tacos, specifically their other location that doesn't serve seafood. I was so excited for this one to open, and I do think that it deserves higher than a 3.5 (star avg at the time of writing) but the other location still takes the cake. The location doesn't have a great parking situation, so we walked from the HP Rec Center parking which was totally fine. They have one table to sit at, and a few chairs, but we opted to take our food home as the table was taken. As for ambiance: there were misters going which was great because it was HOT. The whole operation is inside the building, and you order at the counter and wait for your food in front of it. We got chips and guacamole, two octopus tacos, one of each fried taco, one mushroom taco, and one of each grilled taco (including the mar y tierra, which was $10 that day). We also got a cucumber agua fresca. This totaled to close to $80, which was a little bit eye watering for 7 tacos but we figured that the chips and guacamole ($8) and the $10 splurge taco of the mar y tierra was bringing it up. Still, each taco is about $5. Sort of expected in this economy? Still stings. The tacos were bomb, though. The octopus taco was my personal favorite (though be warned, the cilantro sauce apparently has peanut. I asked them to sub it for the avocado salsa, which was yummy. I was definitely sad, though). The octopus was tender and flavorful and packed. I actually loved all the grilled ones, and the mar y tierra was delicious (big slice of wagyu). I'd get these again for sure. The fried tacos were just okay in my opinion. Take this with a grain of salt, because fried food obviously doesn't travel well, but my gripe with it wasn't that it was soggy--it was that the batter had that vague dirty-oil taste. The chipotle salsa they had on there was BANGING, though, so there's that. Maybe that would be the best replacement on the octopus taco. The mushroom taco was great. Loved the caramelized onions. Could've used more texture as the taco ended up being kind of wet and soft but it tasted good regardless. Chips and guacamole were okay, nothing to write home about. The cucumber agua was PERFECT and refreshing. Biggest problem was that we waited a whiiiiiile. Probably like 30 minutes. Granted, we got like 7 tacos, but it was a bummer to see multiple people who ordered after us receive their orders and leave first. tl;dr: Food is good, but be prepared to wait a bit. It's definitely pricy. The grilled tacos are better. The original Villa's location is better on all fronts in my book. read more

The family behind Villa's Tacos recently opened their third location, which is also the second in their hometown of Highland Park. Of course, the community was invited to attend the Grand Opening celebration, which included giveaways and a live band. Situated at the corner of Figueroa & Ave 61, this little stand offers exclusive menu items that you won't find at the other two restaurants such as Baja Style Beer Battered Shrimp & Fish Tacos, Mahi-Mahi, and Spanish Octopus. There is no arguing that Villas Tacos has the best tacos in L.A., and I have to say, the Baja Style Shrimp Taco exceeded all expectations! I'm so excited that this place is walking distance to my house, so I can get my taco fix on a regular basis. It's so nice to see this little family businesses grow & prosper. They started out selling tacos in their backyard and have expanded to multiple locations. I wish them lots of success! read more

This location had a slightly different feel compared to their others--nothing major, just a small shift in quality and portion sizes. The food was still enjoyable, though the portions were a bit smaller than expected. Then again, seafood isn't cheap, so I understand the balance they're trying to strike. Wanting to experience it all, we ordered one of everything on the menu. The highlight? The octopus taco--tender, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. It may have been small, but every bite was satisfying. The mahi-mahi, on the other hand, was a bit overcooked and leaned dry. As a chef, I know how tricky this fish can be, so I sympathize--but it just didn't quite hit the mark. The surf and turf taco had great flavors and textures, but the price felt a little steep for what was served $12! There was no line but, still, a 30 min wait when I went on a Thursday evening at 5pm. One thing I really enjoyed was the aguafresco lemon--bright, refreshing, and just the right level of sweetness. If you're planning to stop by, just know that it's a grab-and-go setup with no seating and only street parking. It's a spot with potential, and with a few small tweaks, it could truly shine. read more

We were told by a friend last year about Villa's. Finally had a chance to go there........... Friday night at peak dinner time............ Parking is limited in the lot and there is street parking. Don't go at that time unless you want to visit with friends/family while you are waiting in line. For us, it was about a 40 minutes wait. Only a few people can enter their store since it is small. We ordered the sampler.. VILLAS TRIO Three Queso Tacos - one each: Ranchera Asada Papas con Chorizo - TRIO EXCLUSIVE Black Bean con Pollo - TRIO EXCLUSIVE and an AGUA FRESCA Hibiscus. Their tacos are unique......... SMALL BLUE CORN TORTILLAS and has a layer of crunchy melted cheese around the perimeter. Bueno and filling. I could not eat the three tacos for dinner. Outdoor seating is limited and communal style. The customers we sat with were accommodating and friendly. It was somewhat enjoyable if you enjoy crowds. I would go again and order only two tacos. I also want to try Villa's #3......... seafood tacos!!!! We drove by there and the parking is more limited than Villa's #1. read more

Villa's Tacos is already known for their Michelin recognition and when we learned that another location opened with mainly seafood items, we drove over RIGHT AFTER eating at the main location LOL No shame, we were on vacation! Location: Make sure you are heading to the 6103 N Figueroa restaurant found on the corner & N Ave 61. Some people call it "Villa's Tacos #3." There is only street parking for up to 1 hour in nearby areas. Pricing: $$ The tacos are on the pricier side, considering other street tacos are less than $5, but most of their menu items have ingredients that you do not typically find in a street taco. Elevated and worth it! Service: Didn't have much interaction with the service staff but they were pretty quick with our order. I think we came at a good time- no line on a Sunday afternoon. Ambiance: Considering the restaurant is on the corner of busy streets, it can be dangerous if there is a long line overflowing into the street. There are only 4 high chairs and a little area for standing room. It's more of a grab and go spot. Food: We ordered from the Japanese Konro items on the menu! 5 stars for bold flavors but I do wish we had at least 2 tacos instead of 1. I wanted to eat more!! I would compare Japanese/Spanish tapas to the tacos that we had. Delicious! No Soy Pulpo- Crispy and perfectly charred octopus! Fresh and herbacious cilantro sauce, smooth potato puree! Mar y Tierra- Sold at market price, Japanese Wagyu seasoned just right! I wish our piece was bigger. Looking at pictures from other Yelpers, the Wagyu is served in inconsistent portions. The bone marrow added that amazing layer of umami! Will definitely come back again! read more

First we tried going on a Tuesday and they were closed, upon checking their IG looks like they're on trial phase and only opened Thursday-Sun noon to 9pm. It is only street parking, there are good amount of parking just before the train tracks, or you can park in front of smart and final/Taco Bell across the street. We came Thursday around 12:05 and there was already a line, they didn't take orders till 12:15. And we placed orders around 12:35ish and got out food just before 1pm. Food wise, we loved the mushroom (wild hongo) & octopus (no soy pulpo) the most, although we tried almost everything. We paid $10 for the Mar y Tierra which was ok for me to try at least once. They also have salsa on the menu, but when I asked for salsa it was just the general salsa I thought they had more options lol... there are no tables not chairs at this location so prepare to just eat in your car or have your food to go. read more

When I saw there was a new Villas tacos I just had to try it out. My family and I got two Wild Hongo tacos, a Mar y Tierra, and No Soy Pulpos. We went the Saturday after they opened around 7pm. In total it probably took 1.5 hours to receive the food. To start off, we had to wait almost an hour to order. The line seemed shorter compared to the location down the street but I would say the wait was longer. By the time we got to the front they had sold out of chips and guac. The mushroom tacos were a 10/10. Villas knows how to make a great veggie taco. The highlight would definitely be the octopus taco. The place is small and has a small bar area to stand and eat. Unfortunately, the place was full and we had to eat in the car. The tacos were definitely on the pricier side but were delicious. The only downfall was the wait. read more

I ordered both the fish and shrimp tacos. The shrimp was better in my opinion . There's a lot of garnish going on on top of the tacos that it really distracts from the tortilla and meat. But the seasoning on the shrimp was very food. My husband also ordered chips & guac and the guac was ALL LIME and NO SALT, not much other flavors and very flat. Could use more texture and colors than just wet sloppy green. read more

I'm not sure why there are any bad reviews. We came on a Sunday around 4 and the line was fast, our food came quickly, and they were super nice about explaining the 3 salsas to us. We both got shrimp and fish tacos that came out huge and delicious!! So flavorful, perfectly battered, excellent cabbage slaw and the salsas are next level. We ate in a sweet little side patio type space along the train tracks. It was well shaded and there was water spray to keep us cool in the unseasonable heat. Loved our meal experience. The service too was top notch. Will definitely be back! read more

Left really disappointed for my first time visit. The woman at the register was not warm at all and replied with everything is good when I asked what she recommended. Thats fine I guess. I ordered the combo with pulp and dorado tacos, and got a cold plate to go of pulp and mahi... Sure i mean I guess I will be enjoying the seafood today. The tortillas were so soggy and soft. Sadly the tacos were neither visually appealing nor pleasant in taste as they lacked any depth in flavor and texture... It was just spicy and mushy.. Rice was boring, minute rice that i can make at home and wasnt even warm. My beans were runny compared to the ones on my partners plate which were actually refried :) so yeah. Thanks for my diluted warm beans and cold rice. Tried asking for chips and guacamole as well and the lady just went "we are out of guac" which is fine i love chips and salsa. And asked for a salsa instead and she didn't offer the chips at all and just said "salsa's we can give you at the end" ... Sad cause I love a good crunchy chip! Sad to see this spot is another hype place... Horchata tasted very diluted... Could be doing way better in both food and service read more

Always really love Villa's tacos so had to check out the newer location in Highland Park! So happy to have such delicious seafood tacos. Tried the mahi mahi and the Spanish octopus. Both good but the mahi a little dry for my palate so I'd probably get the shrimp next time. That being said the flavors are incredible. Octopus on a little potato with delicious salsa is perfect. The blue tortillas and sauces are phenomenal. No line and quiet as it was early and the outside speaker was broken. Parked a block away near the park. No issue. Greeted with a smile and fantastic service. About $5 bucks per taco, highly recommend if you love seafood. read more
