Best tacos in all of Los Angeles! I have been coming to this location for these delicious tacos and burritos for years! It’s so easy to pull up in the back of the Whole Foods parking lot and enjoy a plate of delicious Mexican street food on the hood of your car. You know, iconic LA stuff! Watch out, some of their salsa’s are HOT, but always so fresh. We always make sure to get a cold Agua Fresca as well! Strawberry is so refreshing on a hot summer day! My favorite thing has to be al Pastor tacos with a slice of pineapple! There most nights this reliable street stand is serving up some of the most authentic Mexican street tacos. Definitely check them out! The take card and cash, and the food is so cheap!

Food is off the hook delicious. My family enjoyed it so much we went there every week for 3 weeks. Pastor cut from the rotisserie with a slice of pineapple. YUM! I personally really enjoyed the chicken myself and wife loves beef tongue. Atmosphere is cool but it's a sidewalk so only so much you can do.

Per my son: the best Al Pastor tacos/burritos. They are quick and authentic. The only vegetarian items are a quesadilla or a plate of rice and beans

Perhaps the best Al pastor tacos I’ve ever had, inarguably the best I’ve ever been served in a parking lot. The orange sauce is far spicier than you think it’ll be but that shouldn’t inhibit you from pouring it on. The passionfruit juice was a beautiful and refreshing way to recover from the heat! Worth going out of your way for and EXCEPTIONAL bang for your buck

This is a mandatory stop for me when I’m in LA, discovered these guys in the pandemic (toward the end) and truly believe they’re the best you can get in the states. Best al pastor on the west side for sure!also a great value. Already can’t wait to come back.

By far my favorite stand in all of Los Angeles - we come every week at least once a week. The guys are super nice and fast. The Al pastor burrito is the star of the show with fresh cut pineapple on it as well. The salsas have a great variety in flavor and spice level. Unlimited fresh toppings and the horchata is fire
