The only complaint I have or thing that feels odd is that they charge $3 credit card fees. The sign says $1. I made a $20 transaction and it ended up being around $27. I made a last minute change and they wanted to charge me $2, which was another $3 transaction fee so total was almost $6. When I questioned him about why it's $3, he got upset. I was reaching my arm forward with my card, prepared to pay again but his temper got the best of him and he made a rude comment. Other to say that you should bring cash if you come to this place. Now I know better.

The place was decently busy at most times with most guests ordered for to-go but they did provide dining on the spot with simple seats by the curbside. No fancy ambience, just great taste to spoil the palate. They offered beef, chicken, and even lamb. My personal fave was their asada but honestly everything was so flavorful including the shredded beef. Also for the price, the meat toppings were so generously served. Their quesatacos (crispy tacos with cheese) were certainly not to skip especially if you're first timer.

I called in as I was driving through the mid Wilshire streets. I ordered an asada and a pastor burrito. Easy peasy. It took me a couple minutes to get there and my order was already done waiting for me to pick up and pay. I hang up the phone and I continue navigating my way to the burrito truck. I pull into the Asian market parking lot hoping that they don't mind the intrusion. I see the Jesus and blank in the truck. They are very friendly folks. Their English is excellent, no issues with communication. The total came to $20, assuming $10 each per burrito. Yes, card is accepted but they will charge you a fee. I was told $2 extra. So, I told her I'll pay cash instead. I also asked for a receipt thinking it's easily printed... No, she hand wrote it. I took pictures of their offerings but there are no prices shown. The bag felt so heavy (2+ lbs)! The little plastic bag also included 2 cups of hot sauce, a bag of jalapenos & carrots, and plenty of napkins. Each burrito was just over a pound each. The asada burrito contains rice. I'm mainly a carnivore dieter. So, this isn't ideal for me. The burrito was a very enjoyable experience with the hot sauce and condiments. I will update review another day for the pastor experience.

Solid street taco stand in the Beverly Blvd area!…read more I visited this taco stand on a week night and the tacos here did not disappoint! I got 1 asada and 2 al pastor tacos and they were good. The taco meat was flavorful and crispy. I've had better elsewhere, but these were still good. The masa tortillas were also nice and chewy and not dry and grainy. I also liked the array of condiments for the tacos. They had spicy pico de gallo as well as seasoned and pickled cucumbers and radishes which were fresh, crispy, tangy and yummy. However, the tacos were on the pricier side for street tacos at $3.25 for al pastor and asada and $4 for camarones. There's free parking nearby at the CVS the taco stand is located in front of. The service was also pretty good and the single guy running the taco stand was nice. Overall, a good experience here. I would come back since this taco stand is conveniently located near my place of residence.

Overall rating 5 Stars***** Food 5 Stars***** Service 5 Stars***** Ambiance 5 Star*****taco stand ha ha East LA Taco Stand lives up to its name by delivering an authentic taste of Mexico right to the heart of the city. Having a penchant for street vendor tacos, I was thrilled to discover this hidden gem, which did not disappoint. The culinary prowess showcased at this stand is unparalleled compared to regular restaurants. What sets them apart is their commitment to tradition, using traditional charcoal that infuses the meats with a delightful smokiness, making each bite a flavorful experience. I indulged in their asada, chicken, and Cabeza tacos, and while all were delightful, the asada tacos stole the show. The perfect balance of smokiness and seasoning paired impeccably with the array of toppings, creating a symphony of flavors in each bite. The salsa and avocado were a testament to their attention to detail and quality. This place truly stands out as a beacon of authenticity. It's more than just a taco stand; it's a portal to the streets of Mexico. For anyone seeking a taste of home or a genuine Mexican street taco experience, East LA Taco Stand is the place to be. Count me in as a returning customer; this spot has won my heart, and I can't wait to be transported back to Mexico with every visit.

I always craved tacos whenever I traveled abroad as did a friend of mine whom I picked up from the airport after she returned from a recent trip, so this called for a stop at the Taco Stand near my hood. I've lived the surrounding neighborhood for over five years now and disgracefully haven't given them my money as much as I felt I should since I loved to support small businesses and local mom & pop establishments.

Since I gave up red meat for Lent, I'll have to return and try the asada and pastor...each of which smelled wonderful! Coca Cola Soda 12 fl oz can ($1.00): My friend needed something to wash her tacos down with - bleh! SERVICE Pretty straightforward - you stepped up, placed your order, paid, stepped to the side as you shortly waited for your food, dressed it up, and devoured. There was nothing to it, so don't be a douche and asked questions while you placed your order...or "no tacos for you"! PARKING (FREE) Since they were walking distance from my pad, I took things in stride. They had no parking lot of their own. Otherwise, there was ample street parking along the main drag of Santa Monica Blvd. and all surrounding side streets (check all posted street signs). ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE Located on a busy corner directly across from the Cahuenga Branch Library (3rd oldest library in Los Angeles Public Library system), was a makeshift cooking cart alongside a table filled with a ton of condiments, another table with jugs of horchata and tableware, and a large cooler with iced drinks https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=jjbWjAIrhS6EkaZKilYiRg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Since they normally opened at night, rarely was there any natural lighting, so you were left with bright electric lightbulbs strung along a nearby fence and a street post. I've never seen any chairs, so you either stood or sat on the sidewalk curb (be watchful of roaches). There were no TVs, but at times I've heard background music in addition to the loud conversations and car stereos that blared from fellow customers. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL The "Taco Stand" at the corner of Santa Monica Blvd. and Madison Ave. was da bomb and there was no denying that! The prices were cheap, service was excellent, food was amazing, selection off the hook (they had all the meats but wished they had some fish on that hook, though!), seemingly there every night, and best of all it was walking distance from my crib! Although they also sold burritos ($5.00), mulitas ($2.50), and quesadillas ($5.00), I've only indulged in their tacos...which needed to be rectified. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (MY TOTAL paid experience was around $10.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, it was CASH ONLY (sorry, I had to knock a full star off to stay true to my personal rating system), so they didn't accept any credit cards especially mine of choice...AMEX! 4.0 STARS
