    Asada / Pastor Tacos
    Richard G.

    I came here because i had 15 minutes to kill. 4 tacos (2 asada, 2 pastor) set me back $13.00. It's a bit steep for a taco truck if you ask me, but everything is going up in price these days. The tacos were just ok. The salsas were better than the tacos, to be honest. I had to ask for 1 green one as i was only given 1 red one. My tip is to ask for green and red salsas prior to leaving. The truck was how most taco trucks look in Los Angeles, if you know what i mean. Service was quick, and communication was efficient. There is no salsa bar or napkins outside the truck, so whatever they give you is what they give you. I had better tacos, but if your in a jam and need a quick bite, this won't disappoint or please. Solid 3 stars.

    I have been going to Danny's tacos for 15 years. I love their pastor until tonight. The tacos they gave me had tiny bits of dried up burnt meat. Not even sure is was pastor but I couldn't eat it. I question if it is the real Danny's because the truck was different and the Danny's sign was super small and they gave me sliced cucumbers with my tacos. Very strange. Maybe Danny sold the business? I'm posting a pick of the truck. It is parked tonight on Grand Ave between Olympic and 11th Street .

    Came here late at night after hitting up a bar. It was close to my friends place and my friend suggested this spot. Ordered a few tacos to-go and my friend actually heated the tacos in the stove. The tacos were solid but I will admit I was no sober so I think anything would have been delicious at that moment. Looking at the previous reviews for this place, I'm not sure if I can agree with all the negative reviews. Again, I was not sober but from my recollection it was tasty.

    I think they have several trucks around the city. Was looking for something quick and hopped out to get this. Prices aren't listen which bugs me but got 2 steak tacos for $6. They were really good and convenient.

    My $5 chips and salsa
    Joseph C.

    So I wanted some simple chips and salsa. There was one woman sitting in the front seat on her phone. I had to ask her to help. I requested chips and salsa, I saw her grab this box and use her bare hands (not washed after sitting up front using her phone). Pulled about one handful of chips and two scoops Of salsa. Let's just say I brought these home and threw them away.... I have bought tacos here 2 times, both were mediocre at best. I figured it would be tough to screw up chips and salsa. They did a great job in messing that up.

    Paper thin meat! HORRIBLE
    Jay R.

    Pepe and his brother Jose Jose are horrible. They act like they're helping you and they really know they're about to take a vantage of you. They will recommend whatever... but they know that their food sucks and is expensive. We ordered a steak sandwich that was $15 and there was very very little meat. The meat was as thin as paper but the lettuce was as thick as a chapter book. And we also ordered taquitos with a tablespoon of meat for four taquitos and a tablespoon of beans on the side. But the tortillas were Hella thick and Hella crispy.! Do not order for this place they charged us $27 for those two plates and two brisk teas and we still hungry!

    The most disgusting food on earth. Found hair and cockroaches in the burritos. Once has no respect the for the neighborhood and keeps the truck just filthy. Food is so bad that you might as well just throw it out. Don't waste your money on this garbage. McDonald's would serve you better food. Update: My friend didn't listen to me and got really sick eating their garbage. Don't go that crap.

    Nasty Tacos

    Still trash. No change. Won't go back ever again. Go to El Comelon, except before like 5PM and Sundays.

    We stopped by Danny's Tacos before heading to the Novo Theater for a concert. The taco truck is conveniently located next to LA Live, but I would recommend walking there instead of attempting to park anywhere near it. There were a lot of options on the menu, but I just stuck with what I knew and ordered two carne asada tacos. Sadly, they did not have flour tortilla, only corn, which was a bummer. The carne asada was well seasoned and tasted pretty good. Condiments were placed in front of the truck for customers to serve themselves. There was also a bottle of hand sanitizer, which I really appreciated. Overall, Danny's Tacos is decent for a food truck. However, I had to order a certain dollar amount in order to use my credit card. If you want only two tacos, make sure you bring cash!

    My friends and I recently did an LA taco tour, visiting various storefronts to find our favorite…read morespot. Sonoratown was our first stop as it was highly recommended by my boyfriend's brother, and it did not disappoint. It immediately earned a spot in our top five favorite taco spots for carne asada in all of Southern California! The location that we went to is located in between Elysium DTLA and Perfumeria Starlux on E 8th St in downtown LA. There is only paid(?) street parking around the area that could be extremely difficult to find during work days. Because we couldn't snag a spot, my friends and I opted for takeout and didn't end up eating until about 30 minutes later. Despite the travel time, the tacos were still absolutely incredible--I can only imagine how spectacular it tastes fresh! My friends and I ordered the carne asada tacos, and my boyfriend opted for the cabeza. Before I even took a full bite, I tasted a piece of the loose carne asada and was blown away; it was perfectly cooked with a wonderful tenderness and deep smokiness. The use of a single, thin, handmade flour tortilla--rather than the standard double corn--was a total game-changer and exactly how I preferred my tacos. The salsas were equally impressive, offering fantastic flavor and a great kick. My boyfriend's cabeza taco was just as standout, featuring super-tender meat with a rich, savory profile. Wowowow! Between the exceptional meat quality, bold flavors, and great value, this is easily one of the best taco spots I've visited. It's a huge bummer that they don't have a location down in San Diego, but we will definitely be back!

This spot is very unique, and the first time I've had fresh blue corn tortilla tacos. I chose one regular carne asada and two queso of the same. My wife got one chorizo and one nopal.

They also tossed a couple slices of raddish on our plates, and to drink we shared a large container of fresh strawberry lemonade. These tacos were damn good. The best I have ever had.

I came here for dinner on a week night and my experience here was pretty good. I had the asada and al pastor tacos with all the toppings and they were both so good and full of meat and heat. The toppings can be spicy for some, so be warned. My favorite of the two was the all pastor which was flavorful and I did like the thinly shaved meat. It was not dry at all and was fresh. I also tried the mulita with al pastor meat and that was also soso good. Cheesy, meaty, and indulgent. The additional topping section had good variety with pickled onions, cucumbers, etc. and everything seemed pretty fresh. Unfortunately, they were pretty much out of the roasted pepper and grilled onions at the time I went. To drink, I had the horchata and that was also very delicious. It was huge, sweet, and creamy. I also loved how it was not grainy at all. A good pairing with the rich foods. They also have a good amount of seating at the stand with a long table and multiple chairs. Parking is tricky since its street parking only.

These were truly the epitome of street tacos and absolutely nothing about the vibe, the service, and the FOOD, disappointed. Immediately upon arrival, I noticed the long line of people and said to myself, either this place is really good or really slow. It took me longer to decide what I wanted to try than what it took for the line to move and for it to be my turn to order. So yea, these folks are FAST and very courteous as well. They have real Al Pastor on the trompo (the spit) so of course I ordered pastor tacos and a pastor mulita. I also ordered a few SUADERO tacos which you don't find just anywhere. I am still raving about the amount of meat and flavor of the food here, it's insanely delicious.

I do like how they grill their meat though and they use the tortillas to scoop up the meat on the grill. Thought the al pastor was a bit salty and the cheese did not add much flavor to it, but that's probably a good thing considering the saltiness of the meat. Also, make sure you ask them for pineapples since they did not include it until we asked. They do have them sliced up in a container by the meats. Ambience is very casual and it's a stand while eating type of situation. Service was quick.
