Incredible blue corn tortillas! Amazing family and amazing service. My favorite is the chicharon with the squash blossom. Such savory goodness when mixed with the spicy salsa. Echo Park and LA staple and among LA's best. Hands down. Great vibes all-around.

Chicken with super hot salsa on the side! Delicious but didn't want to slather it!
Susie B.

The food where is amazing and so well-priced. My friend and I got there at the end of the day, so missed out on the squash blossoms, but we can't wait to go back and try it. We got the chicken, which was very good, and the chicharon, which blew our minds! Definitely recommend getting there early afternoon for all the things, but we were so glad to try what we did. Incredible food, great price, can't wait to go back.

Huitlacoche with chicharrón quesadilla, I was too excited to even think to take a picture before taking a few bites

The service was amazing, the daughter of the owner of the cart was making the food, I had huitlacoche for the first time, and it was amazing. I am happy I had it there first. She makes great conversation, her technique was great, I was beyond impressed.

Words cannot describe how fire the quesadillas are here. We had chicharrón I believe added to ours and the crunchy and cheesy goddess of a quesadilla was created ever so tasty. The lady working the cart was really friendly (I spoke to her in Spanish so I'm not sure if she speaks English but there's nothing fingers/pointing won't achieve). All of the sides and salsas we added to our quesadilla were an appreciated addition to the flavor as well. I am so happy we stopped here to try this out. I didn't realize how much I would love a blue corn quesadilla!

Service was personable! Food was amazing! I highly recommend!

The King James chicken & beef were . The service was exceptional and I have added their locations to my calendar. The elotes with the goat cheese is excellent!

I tried huitlacoche (also known as 'Mexican truffle') for the first time and it was sooo gas. I had been meaning to hit up Alejandra's quesadilla cart, which is located in a covert parking lot in Echo park. Look for the rainbow umbrella and the blue corn tortillas. You can't miss it. Well actually you can so that's why I'm telling you the visual cues. Anyways, her cart has grown quite the reputation for being one of the only places cooking up huitlacoche in LA. The english translation is literally 'corn smut' and the photos on google do not look appetizing-- not one bit. I mean... it's quite literally fungus that grows on rotten corn. I can only describe the taste as earthy, mushroom/umami-esque, and subtle. It really isn't as potent as it looks. The tasting notes were quite mild and it paired amazingly with the Oaxacan cheese and freshness of the blue corn tortillas. You can also choose between squash blossoms, mushrooms, or chicharron in the quesadilla as well if you're turned off by the idea of corn fungus. Alejandra's granddaughter was actually the one cooking it up today. Alejandra was off to the side chilling. As she should. What I love about food like this is that it's simple. I'm talking literally 3 ingredients. When dishes are simple, the raw ingredients really have to shine-- and they sure did with this huitlacoche quesadilla.

Quesadilla de huitlacoche y flor de calabaza

Read about Alejandra's Quesadillas recently when looking up spots to try a huitlacoche dish... such a nice treat! My favorite was the huitlacoche & squash blossom mix ($8). The cheese was so savory and had a perfect pull factor... the blue corn tortilla was bien tostada. Walked a few minutes down the road to enjoy the meal at Echo Park

Been wanting to try this lady's food for a long time. Finally made it here! I think it is funny all kinds of reviews saying this lady is Oaxacan or the food is Estilo DF. If you actually take a moment to chat with her she will tell you she is from Michoacan. Description of what I ordered: Blue corn quesadilla filled with chorizo potato and squash blossoms. She has all the fixings hanging there on the cart onion cilantro nopales and a couple salsas. Her red salsa is 5 alarm! Really good delicious meal. Highly recommend.

Simple condiment section...red for hot, green for mild.

I just found the cart!! Literally eating and posting because I've been looking for her infamous cart for weeks. She's open Friday Saturday Sunday. Tried the pork and squash blossoms....amazing! Went for the salsa verde and it's just the perfect MILD. Not too spicy..just right. Plenty of lot parking. Just be careful of the parking enforcement..they are always around.

Avenue 26 has a cult following, and I'm happy to announce I am part of the cult now. I really…read moreappreciate that they're open 24/7 every day, so I can visit any hour I'm craving tacos in LA. The first time I went on a weekday in the middle of the day, so it was super empty and not the best because nothing was being made fresh- the meats and potatoes were kind of just sitting in bins so although the flavor was there, the cooled down temperatures really affected the taste. HOWEVER, I visited a few more times after that, these times all late at night, which really turned my experience around. I think at those times there were a lot more people and long lines, so everything was being made fresh and it being hot just made the food taste so so much better. I love how the toppings are all self-serve, and the hot potato is my favorite side. Carne asada, lengua, and al pastor are my go-tos. You'll want to add hellaaa green sauce to everything- I could literally drink that stuff straight. Love the big easy parking lot here, I'll mention that I saw a few security people checking all the cars and plates so I wouldn't recommend trying to park here and walk somewhere else!

First time for parking lot tacos for me!…read more I was feeling a bit peckish but didn't want to eat too much, so Yelpers, thank you for leading me here! I was able to snag two tacos for $4.50 that tided me over until dinner time. Now: bring your car because there's no place to sit! I arrived on foot, so dined standing up. Quite a variety of means - I'm a "safe" eater and enjoyed pollo and asada. I loved the self-serve salsas; the green salsa was delish and had a good little kick to it. Happy to have found this spot, and want to come back! 2026: 32/100

I ordered their 4 tacos (2 carne asada and 2 chicken) with onions cilantro and salsa verde. I came unprepared without cash so I had to pay an additional dollar for using a card. This truck had so many items on the menu to offer. Staff were super friendly and there's is plenty of seating as well. While there is outdoor seating, it can get hot because there is no shade, so plan accordingly or order to go. Tacos were flavorful, seasoned and delicious. The corn tortillas were soft and the perfect touch needed for a great street taco. I'll definitely return for more tacos and try other menu items!

The lengua was the standout though! Soo velvety and cooked perfectly. The tortillas are a little hard to describe... kind of on the thicker side but still soft? Not bad, just noticeable. Only downside was the champurrado. It was lukewarm instead of hot (I personally like it piping hot), and it had some thick film pieces like it hadn't been stirred in a while. I wish they had mixed it better and reheated it. Big plus: there's plenty of parking, which makes stopping by super easy. Overall, definitely worth it for the tacos alone.

The seasonings or the way they cook - the flavors and textures are better than a lot of other places I've had tacos from. I got two carne asada and two al pastor tacos. Total as of early 9/2025 was just $10 for four tacos! We came here on a weeknight a little before they were packing up for the night, so the vibe was chill. They also have a good spread of salsas and a DIY fresh toppings area. I just found this taco stand in East Hollywood because I was leaving a comedy show and it was on the later side. Most places were either closed or closing. Saw this place and it seemed perfect for a quick bite that wasn't a big strain on the wallet. Maybe there's more of a line on the weekends, but if not, this is the type of spot where I wouldn't be surprised if there's a constant line at some point.
