Walter: The chorizo taco is my favorite one. The quesadilla with chorizo is also a must.

Frank Brito: Great tacos de asada but even better Al Pastor w/pineapple. You also have to try the champurrado
Cakes: Best al pastor tacos in LA. As of Spring 2016, tacos are now $1.25/each. Get the avocado sauce.
Hamid Alan9ary: Great authentic taco 🌮 truck not far from Hollywood 😁 my fav was the chicken taco and don’t miss out on the red drink they got 👌🏽 I think it has hibiscus 🌺 in it

Vivian Wang: Great vibes, great tacos. Loved the guatalupe with avocado
Will Scholl: Amazing breakfast tacos as well as more traditional "daytime" tacos. Try the Trinity and the brisket tacos
Emily H: Amazing breakfast tacos. Splurge for the $1 avocado add for optimal tastiness. Pecos (brisket) and Trinity (BEC & potato) were both delicious, but the Neches with charro beans was perfection

Selina: My favorites so far are the tacos (obviously) and the green chicken enchiladas. Mmmm
KT Lai: Such a hole-in-the-wall gem and It's clean! I'm all about crunchy tacos and hands down, one of the best crunchy fried fish tacos I've had in awhile.
Josef Szotten: Lovely tacos. No frills though. Just tacos straight up and down. Go for the Mahi Mahi tacos. You won't be disappointed.

Tasting Table: Try the shrimp taco dorados which are fried, leaving the tortillas crisp-edged and wonderfully crunchy: Read more.
Daniel Kang: The fried shrimp tacos are smothered with good stuff and taste divine. Only $1.75 each so order at least 5 a person. Get a refreshing tostada to mix it up. People are super friendly.
Serious Eats: While the shrimp tacos get (and deserve) a lot of love, the humble ceviches, tart with lime, are worth checking out as well.

Michelle Sherman: Everything looks amazing. My first time - I tried the pesto cauliflower, sweet potato with sea salt and butter, and the puffy taco. Make a reservation though because it was packed
Claire Armstrong: Queso, puffy tacos, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, mom's enchiladas, taquitos
Simple Foodie: Puffy Tacos are a must. Chile Shrimp Ceviche, Nana's Fritos Pie, Guacamole, Pineapple Shortcake

Anastasia McGee: Carnitas de Pato - Duck Tacos - are the best. Try them with a side of rice or salad. For dessert or breakfast, nothing beats Azteca Hot Chocolate. Read more.
RobTak: Wouldn't expect it, but the turkey tacos are great! Mayan Feast special (Duck Carnitas & Shredded Venison) is more than enough for two and super tasty.
Eric Lane: I like their hibiscus (flor de jamaica) tacos best, followed closely by the shrimp, duck carnitas, fried potato, and cochinita pibil tacos. Be adventurous: nearly everything on the menu is terrific.

Hanh N: These ladies make the BEST vegetarian tacos. You can also order a side of the mexican rice, it's delicious on its own.
Eric Oxenberg: The meat tacos are good, but the veggie taco with spanish rice, homemade beans and cheese is exceptional!
Noah Snyder: Best Taco truck in Los Angeles by far. I highly recommend getting mulitas or tacos of the carnitas, suadero, or carne asada variety.
