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

Amazing tacos. Absolutely delicious. The taco chefs gave great recommendations too. All the flavors…read morewere on point. My favorite was the brisket. It was so tender and juicy! On another note, I'd skip the pork though...I found it a bit dry. The parking lot is huge and there's security all over, so despite it being in a "sketch" part of downtown, it still feels relatively safe. Also, they accept credit card. There's no toilets or tables though, so you have to eat standing or in your car. *Hot take, I think this place is better than the famous Tacos el Gordo in San Diego.

It wasn't too many choices and the meat skewers were cooked to perfection. A friend that was with me said that the skewers were better at this market than at the larger Thai markets because they aren't trying to churn out a huge number. Here they take care in making sure the meat is still tender and juicy. All the food reminded me of my childhood. So delicious. I made the mistake of getting a papaya salad with "medium" spice. Thai medium spice levels are very hot for the normal palette. So that was my bad. I ate it all anyway. Did I cry a little? Sure. Was my stomach messed up after? Yeah. Was it worth it? I'd get mild next time. The other friend I was with who straight up eats habanero peppers said it was spicy. When in the area I'll be back!

There are about 5 vendors when my friend and I visited on a Tuesday night. To be honest, it's…read moresmaller than I have expected, but still worth a visit if you live around the area. My favorite and must have is the grilled chicken thighs! The chicken skewers are well marinated, a subtle touch of sweetness. The chicken thighs are tender, and perfectly grilled. The cost is $3 per skewer. Definitely worth a shot. The crepe is a great dessert option. It is $10 for 3 toppings. There are various topping options, fruits, syrups, salty, etc. The crepe is made in front of you. Another great sweet dish option is mango sticky rice. The sticky rice is well flavored with a hint of coconut, but the mango wasn't too fresh. There's no spot for seating, no chairs and no tables. Since it is a night street market, don't have too much expectation on the cleanliness. Bring your own napkins, hand sanitizer, etc. Vendor owners are friendly and welcoming. Zelle is accepted, but cash is more convenient. There's a free parking place in a nearby plaza. Recommend getting a try for some authentic Thai food in town.

The place is Alejandra's, and the creation is some of the best quesadillas you can get in LA. Coming up to the stand, you eye the menu and make your order, $8 dollars each or $10 for a dual topping type. There is potentially a bit of a wait due to every meal being freshly made on order, but it is a good and worthwhile wait, the staff, clientele, and food being most hospitable. At your order, purple dough is flattened to a blue corn tortilla, each tortilla freshly pressed and grilled in front of you. You watch it sizzle and rise brown, flip over, and continue its cycle to grow crisp. Topping highlights for me include squash blossoms and pork, which is chicharrones with a surprising crisp and crunch better than almost any other I've had, the ring of each bite echoing autumn leaves crunching under my feet, its condensed jerky flavour hemorrhaging in the still present sweetness of a meat once juicy. The stand provides a salsa bar with red and green sauces available, and other vegatative essentials- onion, cilantro, and pepper- serve as a lush and fresh forestry for the surprisingly substantial spice of the salsa to lick upon; piled upon the mountain of food and flavour, the green and red splatters evoked the Hollywood Hills, the red salsa smokey and particularly burning like the fires of last year. It's an addicting taste well worth the visit and short walk to sit and enjoy the meal in Echo Park. I'm excited to come back and try more ingredients for sure, very likely two or three quesadillas at a time to help expedite the process, as it can't be helped. 6.4/10

I'm actually not a huge fan of chocolate, but when I tell you that warm milk chocolate combined the pistachio cream, crispy kataifi & fresh strawberries made an absolute perfect combination. Everything tasted so phenomenal together, definitely worth the price of 15$ especially when I see it being sold for 20+ else where. The man who operates this business is very chill & prepares everything quickly. I'm a returning customer now because this is officially 1 of my favorite sweet treats in DTLA!

We came as a family of six on a Saturday night after seeing a lot of TikTok videos about this…read moreplace. It was fun, but our experience did not match what the videos made it look like. Because it is in Koreatown, we expected more of a Korean or Asian-style night market vibe with themed booths, street-style alleys, and the kind of food atmosphere you usually associate with that part of LA. Instead, it turned out to be a general street-food market with mixed vendors. It was not bad, just very different from what we expected. Most of my family ordered hibachi bowls. The flavor was good, but the meat portions were on the small side. One of my sons got sushi from a different booth. I tried skewers and a baked potato from other vendors. The food was decent overall, but not something that feels worth dealing with LA weekend traffic for. Parking is across the street and can get chaotic, especially if you are not used to downtown LA parking. Between the traffic, the parking situation, and the difference between what social media shows and what the night market actually is, I would call the experience a 3.5. Since Yelp does not allow half stars, I am giving it a 3. If you are already in the area, it is a fun place to walk around and try different things. I just would not go expecting a Korean-style night market experience

Churros Don Abel has been on my list for some time, and we finally came last night! We were…read moredeciding between #1 (10 churros) and #4 (6 churros with strawberry, condensed milk, and caramel). We opted for 6 churros because it was just two of us. The churros were so good - crunchy texture, great size, and perfectly sweet. The sauce, which we asked for on the side, was good but sometimes too sweet - so I'm glad we asked for it separately. It looks like cost has gone up recently. It took some time to order since they make it fresh, which was fine for us. There was a crowd of about 5-6 other parties waiting on the street for their churros - so you'll be in good company! Next time, we said we'd order #1 with a group of 4. I love churros as much as the next person, but I think I need to share them with more people!

The churros here were pretty good, but meant to be shared. I visited this food truck looking for…read moresome dessert after lunch and I had a relatively good experience here. This food truck is on the street, but there's ample free parking at a nearby lot and other food trucks sharing the same curb and area. I ordered 5 regular churros for $8 which was a bit pricey, but not too bad. This portion size I got was not on the menu and I inquired about these since I was looking for the lowest quantity of churros as possible. The churros were overall good and tasty. Crunchy, sugary, and fried nicely. They did taste a bit oily though, but it is a fried treat after all. These were still too much for one person though. If I had to try it again, I would want to get some sauce since I felt like it was missing those as well as bring another person to share them with.

KTown Night Market is the first night market I have been to in a while, and It did NOT disappoint…read more And after reading the older Yelp reviews for this event (done pre-pandemic), I thought it time to update! Located at RFK High School in Koreatown LA, this location was central and provided lots of space for food stands, food trucks, games, merch stands, drink stands, music stage, you name it. They even had a (huge) sneaker expo stand! I did not see any performers on the music stage, but they posted some content online and it looks like they killed it! Minzy from 2NE1 headlined the first night. I did not have a chance to see everything as I was with a group of people (takes longer to do virtually everything), but there was so much to see! The food I did try: Xing Fu Tang strawberry boba, yakitori yado mochi chicken skewer, kimchi rice ball, pork belly rice ball, thai basil chicken. Everything was good. It was busy! Get there early as by 7:30pm or so it was wall to wall people (some wearing masks, some not as they were recommended only). Had a great time - they have rebooted this event so well!

They have lots of food vendors, not all the same as the typical 626 night market vendors tho. Venue is placed inside a highschool. The vendors are on race track, basketball courts, and good ol' lawn. This year (first opening after pandemic) they have less vendors than before. But place is jammed packed the later it gets. They have big seating area and nice spots in corners for you to sit on the floor tho. Ticket is $10 (plus service fee if you buy online). Parking structure is $18. You will have to walk, since it's in the middle of city.

A lot of taco trucks and a few desert options. There was one BBQ spot my friend wanted us to try,…read morebut it wasn't there. I tried a different one where the guy was from Connecticut and "learned how to make BBQ in Pennsylvania". I saw the red flag and still ate there. (Eye roll). The meat was decent, but everything else was ok. Wouldn't go to it a second time because everything was just seasoned with tons of pepper, so much so that I couldn't finish my food. When going to make payment, he was a weasel and was like, "You have to press one of the boxes. I'll turn around so you can press one of the boxes," regarding a tip. Nothing like pressuring someone to tip you when they're already spending money on the food. We ordered dessert from one of the carts and it was delicious! The best part was the little kid handing out samples and describing what all the desserts are to you. Adorable! Good salesman. The sushi cart ( IG @onsitesushi) was pure fire!!!! I do not regret that choice. Had I not gotten sushi, I'd have still been hungry after the mediocre white guy bbq. I had a deep fried California roll. SO GOOD and a rainbow roll to take home, which was also SUPER DELICIOUS! This night market is a MUST! I would definitely go again and hopefully the next time, the churro man, who my friend said was usually there, will be there.

What more can you ask for?…read more Food stalls at a car wash? why not, lol. si por favor! At night, this car wash location turns into a street food lovers dream! There are about 10-15 food stalls and a variety of options for the taco lover in you. They even have bone marrow street tacos! Absolutely delicious. Theres another taco stand that makes fresh tortillas and that was my hands down favorite spot of all the spots in the car wash. You cannot beat fresh tortillas and that makes all the difference. Theres even a wood fired pizza spot which I gotta try next time! This venue is not as large as you might think if you seen it on social but it'll do and its one thousand percent worth a visit for sure.
