First time here, food was amazing! Service was great! And ambience was cute!! They have different flags hung up because they host World Cup watch parties! We got The Mango Habanero Taco, The Hot & Angry Shrimp Taco, The Baja Style Taco, & The Belly De La Calle Taco. They were all delicious on their own! I did ask for green salsa and lime and it added to the flavor! Will definitely be back again! read more

I saw this cute little Taco place as I was driving down Alameda in Burbank ~ I checked them out on Yelp ~ lots of positives reviews so I went with my yelpers and gave it a try! I've now been here twice ~. Let's start with the customer service .... Ruby & Glori were fun and absolute dolls .. I loved chatting with them both. I tried their Squash Blossom appetizer which was out of this world delicious. I usually don't do fried anything but this was well worth it. It was lite tempura style batter with a Mexican ricotta cheese herb filling and a sweet sriracha sauce for dipping. Fabulous !! My next visit I tried the rib eye steak taco ~. Flavors were on point .. the rib eye melted in my mouth and the guacamole was superb .... I'm looking forward to my next visit as there are many more tacos to try. YES CHEF ~. You have yourself a winning spot here I'll be seeing you soon ! read more

Came out for Happy Hour so I could try out this place. Absolutely astounded with the portion size of their tacos. I wondered if their HH tacos would be a different size/portion, but not even close. Ruby, my server, warned me that it was a lot of food! I was up for the challenge. 4 tacos + 1 ceviche later = Stuffed It's a great place I hope to frequent when I'm back in town. read more

Nice lunch spot! Enjoyed the service here at the bar area and even chatted with the cook and owner. Very nice people. I sampled three tacos and took some squash blossoms to go. Everything was delicious. Want to come back and try the Mushroom taco. Although this place serves adult beverages, recommend checking out Blue Door (cash only) beforehand next door. read more

Nice place for chill vibes, good food and awesome service. Stopped in for tacos on the way home after work, had a chance to meet the owner, John.

This place is an exceptional spot in a cut you'd normally speed by, but trust me - it's a gem. I ordered the squash blossoms appetizer - exquisite! A pork belly taco - divine! And a delectable rib eye taco. Topped with carmelized onions, a dollop of fresh guac, and a bit of cheese melted onto the tortilla. I'm usually a purist but in this case - I'll allow it. Lastly, the owner really really cares! He's a personable guy checking on everyone while making interesting conversation. He talked me into a white Grenache which was the perfect kind of crisp needed this Saturday afternoon. Don't dismiss this place as a hole in the wall. It's date night worthy. Bring your sweetie. He is having a Wine & Raw Bar night June 18th 2026. Also - plenty of TVs for sports viewing. Delicious! read more

We've been in about 6 times now and we're always happy. The best tacos in Burbank, as well as delicious apps, Civiche, Aguachile... all so good! Owner John couldn't be a better host. Server, Sophie, is lovely. Great vibe, with numerous tvs. Can't miss at Yes Chef! read more

First time here, and what a pleasant surprise! My friend and I were originally planning to eat at another restaurant, but it wasn't open, so we decided to give this place a try. Best decision ever! We're both Latinas and we love our tacos, so trust me when I say the Mango Habanero taco was incredible. It literally melts in your mouth! It was so good that I had to order a second one. Our server was so sweet and recommended the Palo Santo Latte, and I'm so glad she did. It had the perfect smoky flavor and was absolutely delicious. We also had the chance to meet the owner and told him it was our first visit. I let him know his restaurant is truly a hidden gem, and I made sure to compliment the chef because the food was outstanding. I'll definitely be coming back and can't wait to try more from the menu! read more

Man this place has legitimately the best fish tacos in Los Angeles!! I'm in love with the squash blossoms too. Everything here is fresh and on point! I haven't even mentioned the local craft beer and how the owners are dope as hell!! This place is in the regular rotation read more

Tacos, taaacos, we talking bout tacos!?!?!?! The amazing flavors from a taco, this Chef has taken my flavor buds for a roller coaster ride. The service was great, the place was packed, and they still were attentive. The restaurant had a bar area, and it was such a nice relax feel. Patio seating as well. Overall it just missed being Ocean side, that's the vibe. read more

The reviews here are misleading - I trusted Yelp and ordered four jalapeño slaw tacos, one chicken taco, and an order of quesadilla. The name 'jalapeño' suggests spicy, or at least a little salty and slightly spicy, but what I got was a saccharine-sweet taco drowning in sauce and slaw - all I could taste was mayo mixed with sugar - which I'm extremely confused, why would someone add sugar to a dish titled jalapeño. It was a terrible, extremely disappointing experience. The chicken taco was decent but had the same overly sweet slaw; the quesadilla was the only decent thing, thank the lord, since it didn't have the slaw. Paid $60 just to end up tossing 70% of the food. read more

Yes Chef Tacos La Barra & Cafe - Jalapeño slaw taco with swai fish - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Burbank, California

I would describe the food here as casual fancy, this isn't a typical taco spot, it's a lot like a cafe as the name states but they don't come off as bougie either. But overall the food is amazing, I ended up trying the chicken, fish, pork belly, & ribeye tacos and they do a great job with the toppings and sauce they use for those. Speaking of sauce, I'm not crazy about shrimp but my friends did get the aguachile and that sauce was good enough to get me to actually try a bit of the shrimp with it. A nice spicy kick with enough flavor so the heat doesn't over power your taste buds. They also have a beer and wine list, the beers options are on draft or bottle with some local options from nearby Brew Yard brewing. This restaurant is a really cool spot that's a step up from regular taco spots with great quality food. read more

I really wanted to give this place 5 stars but something was just missing and for the price, I'd say a bit overhyped unfortunately. The staff was very kind and the interior is a cute little set up but the tacos were lacking a bit for what you pay for them. They were good but not GREAT. We ordered 2 hot and angry shrimp tacos. A Baja fish taco and mango habanero fish taco. We also ended up getting the mango one with shrimp (which was an up charge). For an appetizer we also shared a quesadilla. We wished the tacos had a bit more sauce and flavor. As a fish taco they should automatically be served with lime or lemon but we did have to ask for some in which they did provide. They only have one bottled hot sauce choice which was a bummer because it didn't blend well with ALL the different tacos. Wish they had different options of hot sauce to mix and match depending on the type of flavor taco you order. Some do better with green some do better with reds. But the tacos were just a bit dry. The mango and Baja were the best. The hot and angry gave more of a Chinese food flavoring taste it was a bit interesting. For 5 tacos and 2 quesadillas (one with asada) we paid 95$ with tax and tip. read more

Best tacos I've had in SoCal! We were searching Yelp for a taco spot and came across Yes Chef. We were greeted by John, who was super friendly and explained the menu and the most popular items. We ordered a few tacos - ribeye, belly de la calle (pork belly), and the Baja style. They were all exceptional. The ribeye was so tender and juicy with the perfect amount of meat inside. The belly de la calle has great texture and flavor with an added flavor burst from the sriracha sauce. Last but not least, the baja style taco was perfectly complemented by the slaw and chipotle aioli. I would recommend this spot to anyone looking for a taco spot with fresh food and excellent service! We also ordered the Japanese rice lager on draft - kanpai crush which was really good. My only recommendation would be to offer chips on the menu, which John mentioned they'll have soon. read more

Yes Chef Tacos La Barra & Cafe - Ribeye taco, Belly De La Calle Taco, Baja Style Taco - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Burbank, California

Really really tasty! This is a small but very welcoming space with really kind staff members. I ordered a few items to try them out. The belly de la Calle (pork belly) taco ($9) was very tasty and I would gladly get again. It is one big piece of pork belly not cut up pieces like I anticipated but it was so flavorful and a win all around. The achiote and miso chicken taco ($9) had the most tender chicken, the flavor was subtle but delicious. The Baja style taco ($7) is your traditional fish taco and that was possibly my favorite! It was a nostalgic bite with familiar flavors, you can also taste that the batter is made in house, a simple but perfectly executed bite. I also got the ribeye taco, flavor wise it was tasty but not as tender as I anticipated and at $10 a taco I wouldn't get that again. I also ordered their squash blossom appetizer ($10) squash blossoms filled with a ricotta and herb mix, battered and fried. An enjoyable bite but not something I would run back for. All in my total was just under $50 so do know this is a bit on the pricey side however the quality of what you get truly makes it worth it! I look forward to coming back read more

Just tried this new spot open up in Burbank. Very friendly staff and cool set up. We ordered 3 tacos each and a few sides and we realized we over ordered. Overall food was tasty and an excellent portion but I wish I ordered 2 tacos in place of 3 . Like anything eating at the restaurant is always better but take out is just as good. They have a cool set up inside and a small covered patio outside. read more

The food was SO good and the service was amazing. It's a small unassuming spot but the food is so good. The chef or owner told us they used to be a food truck and upgraded to a store front so we thought that was very exciting. We had the fried artichoke and it was insanely delicious and thick. Fried squash blossoms delicious and a little kick. We ordered a bunch of tacos and they were all superb. Then we had a couple of iced lattes with house made vanilla bean syrup. Everything was phenomenal. We can't wait to go back and take more people. read more

I was in Glendale and I told my wife that I wanted to go to a taco place that had the best Yelp reviews. Well I found Yes Chef Tacos La Barra & Cafe and it had a solid 5.0. How is this possible. I will tell you that Glendale reviews are a tough bunch. I've noticed that even great places have their share of tough reviews. We were going to have dinner later so I wanted to get something small that we could split between us. I set the GPS to go to Yes Chef and we were off! I found parking on the street and we walked into this really nice, brand new spot. The lady helping us was super nice and despite us ordering so little and splitting, she provided excellent service. She told us that this was a brand new spot and they were proud of it. I took a look at the menu and ordered something I have never seen in Honolulu. Squash blossoms. I had no idea what it could be but I wanted something different. They came out and my wife took one bite and said it was SO GOOD! I took a bite and WOW! So tasty. Filled with cheese, jalapeño, I mean it was just so tasty!!!! A++++++++ Next up was a single taco. Ribeye taco..... The first thing I noticed was that the tortilla seemed to have cheese that was cooked on the top. It wasn't a flimsy tortilla - it was hand made. One bite and we were sold. honestly, we kind of wished we didn't have dinner planned after this. I kept thinking about this excellent place and the chef even came out and talked to us. We told them it was so good and I am keeping my word of giving them 5 stars. Great place, new, clean, with excellent service and more importantly the best upscale taco I have ever had. It's that good people!!!!! As Rod U. says - destination worthy and it wouldn't surprise me if this Chef and place gets serious accolades. read more

A lucky find! I hesitate to say I saw this on instagram because it was so much better. We had the Mexican ceviche, which was very delicious - the fish was tender and fresh. My husband ordered the Ribeye taco, super tender, sitting on a roasted chili and topped with guacamole. Great mix of flavors. I wanted a fish taco, and on the recommendation of the waitress ordered the mango one. The fish had both a light flaky quality and a density, the sweet mango balanced by the spice. The corn tortillas on both were super fresh, cooked perfectly and held up well to both fillings without tearing or getting mushy. The staff is very friendly, the owners are there and check on you. we will definitely come back. read more

The tacos were amazing! We had the ribeye taco, huitlacoche taco, belly de la calle taco, and the mandatory mushroom taco. Ribeye was delicious. Huitlacoche was good but not my favorite. It was a little too sweet and they had no salsa to accompany it. The belly de calle was AMAZING, crispy, with a nice spicy kick. The mushroom taco was my second favorite. I always enjoy finding vegetarian options that can rival the meat dishes. My only qualm is that they only had bottled hot sauce and no salsa. read more

We booked a large group of around 20 guests and thankfully Yes Chef graciously accommodated us. The service was friendly, prompt, and absolutely no mistakes on our orders.

I will be dreaming about these tacos!! I found this place on Google and saw the great reviews, so we decided to stop in for lunch while staying in Burbank. The owner was welcoming and told us a little about the business; how he was running a food truck for 3 years and now their brick and mortar has been open for just a couple of months. He gave us some recommendations from the menu and everything we tried was amazing! The fresh tortillas were unlike any tortillas I've had before a so flavorful and the texture was perfect. We loved the ribeye taco and the hot & angry. Everything was so thoughtfully made. We were only in Burbank for one day but I'm already thinking about visiting next time we are in LA!! read more

We all walked away from our first time here saying "Damn! That was AMAZING!" My lovely wife said that they were the best tacos she has ever had and she's a SoCal native so has had MANY tacos! Interesting and unique menu with superb flavors. This ain't no Taco Bell, baby! I had the Angry Shrimp taco and the squash blossom appetizer; both were so good. Wife had the squash blossom taco and the Baja taco, friend had the ribeye taco and the mango habanero taco. All of us gave 2 thumbs up and five stars! HIGHLY RECOMMEND this wonderful addition to Burbank. Parking isn't great but you can usually find street parking or across the street in Trader Joe's lot. THANK YOU Yes Chef Tacos!!! We'll be back very soon (for Happy Hour!). read more

WOW this place is FANTASTIC!!! Fish tacos were AMAZING - I only tried the basic Baja and the Jalapeño tacos but wow were they good, far better than my expectations. The jalapeño one was my favorite, really not very spicy at all so if you're afraid of spice don't let that hold you back, just give it a try. They remind me of best fish taco in Los Feliz, which previously was my favorite fish taco, but this place may have them beat. Highly recommended!!! read more

THE BEST TACOS !!! Fresh homemade corn tortillas, delicious fish , excellent toppings and salsa !, the mushroom taco, steak taco and squash blossom taco all AMAZING! I was bummed when the food truck they had was gone from the brewery but now that they are in a storefront I can eat here often. Guisados is the only other taco place I love but not we have two to eat at. Beer and wine too! Hopefully they can come up with a wine cocktail too or a sangria for the ladies who like a sweet drink. read more

I had to leave a review because everything we tried was absolutely delicious! We ordered the mango fish taco, shrimp taco, artichoke beer-battered pieces, cilantro lime salad, and the ribeye tacos -- and every single item was flavorful and fresh.

The artichoke beer-battered pieces were crispy and so good, and the cilantro lime salad was fresh and refreshing. read more

New favorite tacos! Everything was well prepared, good service, nice waitress, and excellent food. We tried 4 tacos including the fish taco with mango, it was very nicely fried and crunchy, and the mushroom taco was delicious. Also had the beef and the chicken, both very good. We want to try everything on the menu. Only slight issue was that they dont have an assortment of homemade salsas to choose from, surprising because the tacos deserve more than a bottle of sauce from the store. Note to the owner, a few salsas would make a HUGE difference! But all in all great, and 5 stars. read more

Check them out asap! Super cute inside & they have a nice patio as well. The huitlacoche taco was fresh, flavorful, and tasty. I also got the palo santo latte, yum!

Fish tacos were amazing. Had a nice crisp to it. The sauces were fire. Service was great helpful and nice.

I was SO excited to try this place for the longest time while they were under construction! I've was hoping for a really good taco spot in walking distance (and this place DID NOT disappoint)! I've gotten: - ribeye taco - squash blossom taco - Baja taco - mango habanero taco The ribeye was definitely my favorite! The meat was perfectly seasoned and super tender + had a delish grilled pepper + huge glop of guacamole. Second favorite was squash blossom since I've never had anything like it. It was crunchy with perfect sweet and spicy salsa on top. The fish tacos (Baja and Mango Habanero) were so decadently crisp it was like eating Japanese tempura! The service was great (very kind + efficient)! I did not have to wait that long for our food. Ambiance is very casual and clean which I think is perfect for a taco spot. Highly recommend if you try it out if you're in the area! Just note, parking is small so recommend parking at the Ralphs, Trader Joe's, street parking, or walking over if you can. read more
