The al pastor+pineapple tacos and mulitas are my go to orders. Add a little of their onion habanero slaw and a bit of their tasty avocado salsa and BOOM, it hits the spot. Sometimes I go for the agua frescas they have, which are LARGE and a great value. Speaking of great value, they have the most meat packed burritos and quesadillas I've seen. Definitely would recommend these if you have a big appetite. Parking - since the stand is located next to a Ross, you can park in the customer parking lot. This is one of the big perks of coming to this spot. Service - The guys here are friendly and always in a good mood. Super kind and deserving of tips in the dollar can! Been here many times and expect to keep coming here time and time again. Whether you're in the area, shopping nearby, going to/from LAX, or just want AMAZING tacos, check out El Carboncito. You'll be happy you did!

They are always super friendly and in a good mood, and there has been times that I've came when life hasn't been good to me and I'm not in the best mood and they always turn my frown upside down! If you find yourself in the Palms area not far from where Sepulveda meets National Blvd, I highly recommend that you give the street vendors a chance to WOW your taste buds and to give you true hospitality.

It's one of those classic, old-school burger stands you don't see much of anymore (especially in the West LA area), tucked in between a gas station and a fire station. no frills, just doing its thing. I grabbed a double cheeseburger and a Coke, and it was solid. Could have used some more seasoning or some thousand island. I think my pallet has been spoiled by In N Out. All in all. Solid. This felt more like a throwback than a "wow" meal. Still good, just not something I'm going out of my way for. Bottom line: solid spot, great nostalgic vibe, good food. Will I be back? Maybe.

It's so good, highly recommend coming here if you haven't. So glad my buddy Aaron showed me this taco stand! I didn't really believe the hype but the line wrapped around the parking lot and we waited over 30 minutes but it was worth it. Parking was very easy and the line goes by really fast too. Once you get to the front you see all the meat getting cooked and the al pastor on the spinning machine where they cut off the meat. They employees are in a line cooking, prepping and asking what you want. My order is the burrito with carne asada, cabeza, no cheese, add potato instead of beans, rice. Potato was nice touch and good substitute. For all the non-cabeza people who have never tried it before or was scared, don't be!!! I was one of those people and found the meat to be very very flavorful and juicy. They then hand you the burrito, you go to the cash register, pay and while your doing that you put your toppings on, then they wrap the burrito for you and you are on your way. Make sure to get some of their green avocado sauce. It's non spicy which I love too. Eat your food in your car, on your car on on the curb!

I kept hearing about Miya Miya from friends, so of course I had to go see what the hype was about…read more It's basically a food stand set up outside the Edge apartments in Santa Monica, kind of like those late-night taco stands you see all over LA. Super casual setup, but you can tell it's popular. I think they're planning to open a full shop eventually. Parking wasn't too bad, just metered street parking nearby. We got there around 3:30 pm on a Friday... and there was already a line. They don't even open until 4:30. One of the workers came and told us it would be about an hour wait once they opened, so we decided to stick it out. I brought a book, my husband had his games and stuff to study, so we were prepared to hang out for a bit. We didn't get our food until 6:30 pm so yeah, definitely longer than expected. Everything is made fresh right after you order, so even once you finally get to the front, there's another 10 to 20 minute wait while they assemble everything. Also, each person can only order 2 shawarmas, which makes sense because everyone's already been waiting forever and goes all in. The owner was very friendly hospitable and appreciative that everyone was waiting for their food. The staff were upbeat happy , listening to music and vibing while cooking everything. We ended up getting 4 chicken shawarmas (that's the only option) "Yaz way" which comes with spicy garlic sauce and Jordanian pomegranate molasses, plus the beef tallow fries topped with fresh za'atar. And honestly... it was worth it. The shawarma was SO good. Like 11/10. The chicken was super tender and juicy, packed with flavor. They dip the top of the wrap in extra garlic sauce and pomegranate molasses, so your first bite is insanely good... messy in the best way, dripping with sauce, tangy, garlicky, a little spicy. And somehow the last bite is just as good. The garlic sauce actually has a real kick to it, not overwhelming, but enough to wake up your taste buds. And the pomegranate molasses? That was the star for me. It adds this tart, slightly sweet flavor that cuts through the richness perfectly. It's such a unique combo and works so well. The fries were also really good, crispy and savory with that beef tallow flavor, and the za'atar on top gave it a nice herby finish. There's some seating nearby in the apartment complex area by Gelson's, so you're not just standing around trying to eat. I ate one shawarma there and saved the other for the next day, and it was still delicious, which says a lot. Would I go back? Yes... but definitely not for a 3-hour wait again If the line is like 20 to 40 minutes, I'm there. But for a first-time experience, it was fun, worth it, and honestly kind of part of the whole LA food hype vibe.

My friends and I all agreed this was decently good shawarma, but NOT worth the ridiculous 1 hour 40…read moremin wait time. The workers could have easily served customers faster or given people a text notification when the order was ready for pick up, but to be honest it looked extra slow to build up the line/fake hype. The wrap itself was hella skinny and needed much more garlic sauce than the small dollop they put at the very top. Chicken was pretty dry after several bites. Even if you don't order fries (yum) or the yaz way sauce, they'll give you a little bit anyways to sample for free. Overall, save your money and time... it was not worth the wait whatsoever. We observed the faces of people who got their orders and no one looked happy eating. The line is only so long because their marketing tactic is pushing out the orders incredibly slowly.
