Los Angeles Times Food featured this taco truck about how L.A.'s taquerias were in survival mode at the start of COVID ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_PgEn2LoZM ). [Parking]: I missed the turn, ended up at Starbucks a block away, and walked here. The taco truck is located right next to a smog check shop. [Atmosphere & ordering]: No outside chairs or tables, so I ended up eating tacos inside of my car. There was no waiting line at 9:15 PM on Friday. No salsa bar as they put salsa directly on tacos. [Menu]: Proteins include asada (grilled beef), cabeza (beef head), suadero (slow-cooked beef cut), al pastor (marinated pork), birria (stewed meat), pescado empanizado (breaded fish), chorizo con papas (Mexican sausage with potatoes), and tripas (beef intestines). Tacos = $2.25, burritos = $11.00, Quesadillas = $9.00, Mulitas = $3.00, Tacos de Pescado / Tacos de Tripa = $2.50. *** Asada Taco and Al Pastor Taco ($2.25 each): These were double-layered tortillas. Both options were great and meats were well-seasoned with just right amount of spicy level. Onion was good too. *** I like tacos from El Flaco Tacos better than tacos from Tacos El Güero in East LA.

Ever since I first tried this food truck after moving to East LA, I've been completely sold. I'm the type of person who stays loyal when I find something I love, and let me tell you... this place has me locked in. I honestly don't go anywhere else for birria anymore. My go-to every single time is the 3 birria tacos plate with their flavorful consommé. It never misses. The tacos are perfectly crispy, packed with meat, and paired with that rich, savory consommé. It's always satisfying, filling, and priced fairly compared to other spots. Service is consistently quick, friendly, and reliable. I've personally never had an issue with any of my orders, which says a lot. The food truck itself is always clean and well-maintained, with a menu that's easy to read (and includes pictures. I also love that they've been putting effort into improving the outdoor seating area. There's a good amount of stools to sit, and the tarps provide lots of shade, making it a great spot to actually sit and enjoy your food. Overall, they're doing everything right. In my book, they're undefeated... and will stay that way until I find something just as good. I stay recommending this spot to everyone, do not sleep on it!

I had to find a new place to satisfy my birria cravings and we decided to check this place out. Their social media state a location on Atlantic but when we went there it was not them.

I don't know if its chivo though since it was not gamey at all so I think they serve beef. Other than that - no complaints at all.

I had never tried goat birria before, so I was excited to expand my palate and try something new. I arrived early in the morning to find an empty dining room with some telenovelas playing loudly on the television. I knew I was in the right place, even though I didn't realize it yet. This is a family-run restaurant, a real hole-in-the-wall. Don't be discouraged by the lack of menus; this is the kind of place where you know what to order without even looking. I was greeted and taken care of by a young woman, who I believe was the granddaughter, as there was another woman who seemed to be the grandmother. I noticed the grandmother attended to another guest who spoke Spanish. They are bilingual here, which is always nice for someone like me who doesn't speak Spanish! I ordered the Birria de Chivo, a Zacatecas-style goat birria covered in a flavorful consommé. They provide freshly made corn tortillas, a side of red salsa, cilantro, chopped onions, and slices of lime. The Birria de Chivo was excellent! The goat was so flavorful and tender. It tasted homemade, like it was made by your abuela, not something you would find in a restaurant. Quality and delicious food at an affordable price! I will definitely be back!

The interior of the restaurant had tables; each with four chairs. The restroom... I'll just say it works. On the menu, each item has a number next to it. There's a nice older lady that helped us. It appeared she only spoke Spanish. We ordered the taco de cecina and the cemita milanesa de res. The taco de cecina was a large plate that had a huge huaraches like tortilla at the bottom. On top was black beans, potatoes, milanesa, radish, napoles, and slices of avocado. Oh I forgot, a lot of shredded Oaxaca cheese that looked like shredded chicken. The food itself was a lot; however, I wasn't amazed by it. It was decent. The cemita itself was also quite interesting. There's an added green called the papalo. Has a thickness like Spinach, but tastes like a heavily concentrated cilantro. It was very over powering. The milanesa was deep fried with a light battered coating. The meat was a bit dry. The bread was toasted and had sesame seeds. If these type of businesses wants to cater to the youth, they really need to up their game and make adjustments toward their tastes. If it was changed up with lettuce with added vinegar and oils, this may go some where bigger. Otherwise, they're stuck in the past with an older customer base. Oh they do charge a 3% credit card fee. It's okay though because everyone in California is okay with tax hikes and fee hikes.

Which is to say they kinda grill their meat over charcoal, then its kept warm on their flat top. They have several meats you can get, carne asada, buche, tripas, cabeza and, pastor and pollo. I got a carne asada burrito ($7.00) to go and a I tried a handmade tripas taco ($2.50), I thought my tripa taco was kinda good actually, the handmade tortilla was really good had some nice like thicknes and chewiness to it, and it was larger than a regular corn tortilla taco, they spent some time grilling up the tripas till it had some nice color on it and was kinda crispy. The burrito was ok, I thought for $7, they could hook it up more, it was a rather small burrito, I do like the fact that wafter they lay the rice and meat foundation on the tortilla, they hand your the burrito so you can add what you want from their salsa bar, like salsa or pickled onions or cucumber slices, before the guy wraps into a burrito. overall this place was decent, but theres a lot of competition out their for a taco stand in this area and to me it doesnt' really stand out that much. I'd still eat here tho, especially for a hand made taco.

They're really friendly and the tacos does all the talking here. Everything from tortilla, salsa, guac, and meat was great but not like I haven't tasted the flavors before. The thing is, this place does every component right, which in my opinion, makes a perfect taco. Usually you find a spot that has bomb af meat, but the salsa lacks flavors. There are some places that has great tortillas but the prices suck and they don't know to season or control their grill. This place got the process down and for $2.50, I'd say it's perfect (more consistent in taste than Tacos Los Poblanos). I went when it was not busy at all but the taste was all there ~ that's saying something for street food. They do their meats right. Asada was surpsingly juicy even though it wasn't straight from the mesquite grill. Most Tj taco stands' asada gets dry and withered when it sits, but this place most likely marinaded, grilled at the right temp, or chose the right cut of beef because it didn't give me a mouth feel of dried meat and juicy salsa/onion taste. Tacos should have all the ingredients compliment each other, not there to compensate for one ingredient's lack of quality. I wished it was because it was a tad light on the smokey flavor; the seasoning/saltiness was perfect so that made up for it. Pastor was chunky and flavorful, went really well with their salsa and guacamole. It's not the thinly sliced kind at some spits, but more similar to pork chop. I kinda like this because the meat is juicer and has a nice bite to it. Great salt and sweetness balance for sure. Adobada was pretty tasty as well; I don't eat this often since most stands/trucks don't do this (usually you find it in restaurants). It tasted like a stewed version of their pastor. Just try it and you most likely will like it. They put two salsa onto your tacos. One is a blended pico de gallo style salsa (I almost wouldn't call this pico but idk how else to describe it...tomato-dominant salsa that's not the typical salsa roja). It exude flavor that went so well with the meat; there's a nice tomato acidity that went well with it's spicy (mild but present), and I really liked this (most places just put one salsa on top). The second salsa is those orange-beige colored one similar to red salsa, it was the major spicy component of the taco. Their corn tortilla is made on the spot, bomb as usual; a bit dry however mine was from the tortilla warmer (it wasn't busy, I only bought 5 tacos. Can't complain). Usually Tj style taco spots water down their guacamole (literally more watery or added tomatillos) but this place taste like pure avocado (right texture and thickness). This is a real nice treat since most places don't do pure guacamole ~ no fillers here for sure. On top of that $2.50 for Tj style taco in this economy? It's a win for me. A new favorite taco spot.

At $3 per taco, I didn't feel it was worth it…read more They are tiny street tacos so you'll probably will get two bites out of them. I have had their tacos before when they had their brick and mortar and was not impressed then and not impressed now. The cecina was way, way too salty. The asada and pastor were better, but I don't think I will be back for a third try because I have had better. The tortillas are handmade there on the spot, but the meat could have tasted better. The reason to go is for the handmade tortillas. I believe they were charging $2.50 at their brick and mortar and on the street they are now charging $0.50 more. The pastor or adobada tacos at Tacos Tamix and Tacos 1986 are more satisfying to eat in comparison. I would not go out of my way to here. If you were close and had to choose a meat, I would stick to their asada tacos only. My favorite asada tacos in LA are still in Sylmar at Taqueria Mi Ranchito taco truck. If you're willing to drive up there, those are destination tacos. Another San Fernando Valley taqueria to try is Taqueria Tijuanense. They operate a food truck at a park in Lake Balboa and have a brick and mortar near Northridge mall. Get the Tijuana-style asada tacos or the quesabirria tacos. I get that ingredients are more expensive these days, but at $3 a pop for two bites, you better be serving up some amazing street tacos.
