We went to the Avocado Fest at the Angel City Brewery by Little Tokyo and this truck seemed to be the main attraction as far a food goes for this event! We were quite hungry but didn't want to fill up since we had plans to eat elsewhere after grabbing some drinks. We ordered some nachos to share and a few tacos. While taking our order, the young man asked if the characters on my bf's shirt were from Spirited Away but it was actually from Princess Mononoke which he knew as well! Loved that. While waiting for our order, he asked if we wanted some free churros and ice cream so ofc we took it! Perfect for this super hot summer weather and we also walked a good couple of blocks from where we parked. We grabbed our nachos and churro ice cream and headed to a table while waiting for the tacos. The nachos are LOADED!! Super good but it was too much even splitting it between 2-4 people. My bf enjoyed the tacos when he got them and their pastor was very interesting because it came with pineapple! Very good but the hot sauce is HOT. I can't handle the spice very well but overall their food is delish. IG: @ammysalamii read more

Overall, I really wish there was a better food option at Angel City. It's convenient but by no means is it anything more. I waited in a ~15 minute line, which is fine. As my card was at the bar for my tab, I looked for signs stating "card only or "no cash"... something along those lines. I didn't see any and even saw a container for tips, so I figured I was all set and would use cash. I get to the front of the line, order and upon trying to pay with cash, am told that they do not accept cash. The gentleman apologized as I mentioned there was no sign stating this and that my card was at the bar. I said I'd get it and come back. So I go back to the bar to get my card.. The bartender felt badly and helped me close my tab so I could get my card- even giving me a community discount (which I'd never gotten before, as my 'vintage' growler likely identified me as a long time customer lol) ! Then, I went back... to stand in line again! It was ~10 minutes this time and after I ordered, I went to the restroom and then tried to go feed my meter when the buzzer for my food went off. Oooook. I go back to the truck where people are placing their orders and wonder if they'll see me come back or call out my number or something-- but, as it turns out, nothing happened. Finally after the 3rd person orders, I interrupt (so sorry!) and ask if my food is ready or not as I've been waiting and am not sure what to do and still need to feed the meter. Someone gets my tacos-which had been ready sitting on top of something (aka: had been ready for a while) and hands me the plate. I rush the tacos over to my partner & run to pay the meter. Upon my return, the asada tacos were finally tasted. Tough, flavorless and skimpy. $4/taco is a little on the pricey side for me, especially with dry meat. The taco plate comes 3/order without any way to add an extra taco, so there's no way to have an even number if you'd like to share... unless you order a lot more. I will say I enjoyed the salsa verde, but one can not live on salsa alone :( I'll not be coming back. A simple "card only" sign would have been helpful! I also felt strangely mocked by their cash tips container read more

Hubby and I decided to try them while at Angel City Brewery. We both ordered tacos: asada and pastor. We both agreed asada was the best. They were pretty, pretty good! Before leaving the brewery we ordered a pollo asado burrito and carne asada quesadilla for later. Both were really good too. read more

Their Jackfruit Pineapple taco is scrumptious! I should have ordered two instead of the Nopales which was OK. I've always had jackfruit raw and/or in a dessert. They transformed the jackfruit into something that I have not tasted before and will probably have me come back again until I get over it. The service was eh. There was one dude with brunette hair taking orders because there was no line. After helping me and my friends, a line formed and a taller blonde emerged, taking over the orders. I got my tacos right away but my friends weren't so lucky. Theirs took a while and one order was incorrect. The brunette was both cooking and supporting the blonde dude with the orders because the blonde dude seemed high. Service aside, the jackfruit taco is worth the try! I'm actually looking forward to my next visit. read more

Tasry, but expensive :( Also do not like how they don't post prices on their menu. $3 each for tacos, which are tiny street taco size. I ordered 3. Asada was good, pastor was deliciously flavorful. $4 for glass bottled soda - I got a soda from here since Angel City Brewery told us they don't serve nonalcoholic drinks other than water. Sides and condiments were mostly empty and it took them awhile to come out and refill. read more

Downtown Taco - 2 carne Asada tacos, 1 pineapple el pastor taco on bottom right ($3 each) - Tacos Near Me - Los Ángeles , California

Yeah the $15 nachos looked more like something I ordered from Taco Bell. I was worried when I saw the cashier take my order and make the food really quick in front of me. Once I sat down, I got time to fully experience the nachos, and I was very sad that I paid $15. Yeah, I was drinking at Angel Brewery, so didn't have much of an option. If I could rewind time, I would have preferred to stop by Taco Bell before hitting up the brewery. read more

Girls and I were doing flights at the Angel City Brewery on a Saturday afternoon, and had a hankering for tacos. They were located right inside the entryway of the brewery so it was a perfect snack. I ordered a pineapple al pastor quesadilla and a single asada taco for $8. They accept credit cards through Square on a tablet, so no need to worry about carrying cash on you. While I waited for a minute, I was in awe of their grill cart as they cooked all the meats and tortillas in front of me. They also have a taco fixings bar so you can add all the toppings and salsas to your heart's content. Protip: the red salsa is HOT! It's not for the light-hearted. A few of the girls started tearing up at the spice. It's delicious, just be cautious if you're not ready for that sucker-punch. Also they keep the bar relatively well stocked, but one of the mild green salsas was out and empty. They do get a lot of business, and they don't have a order tracking system, so the cook listens to you ordering at the cashier and cooks them to order. That also means they run the risk of missing some order items though. They forgot my taco, and forgot two tacos for a friend of mine. It's not a huge deal, we ended up waiting another minute for them, but just as a FYI. The food was great, not the best I've ever had but it's pretty darn good. The meats were all really juicy and flavorful, nothing was dry. Overall would recommend, especially if you need a snack at the brewery. read more

Downtown Taco Co truck is located at the Angel City Brewery in the Art District near Downtown LA. I ordered the Classic Tacos (Asada and Pollo). I really love how you can add your own toppings and hot sauce to your order. Great idea because everyone has their own preference.

The tacos came out not hot at all. They were just loaded up with meat that was sub par, and it was very overpriced for three tacos. Also The taco truck advertises certain items that aren't actually not order on the menu so it can be confusing. The redeeming quality was the vegetarian buffalo wings. I'm not vegetarian but those were solid! Sadly didn't get a picture. I'd give them another try next time I'm in LA and see if it changes he's my vote read more

This is the second worst Mexican food I've ever eaten, and I grew up with a dad that served catsup instead of salsa. The burrito was completely flavorless. The rice was hard and over cooked, the entire burrito was like warm, and he cheese inside was unmelted & that mix you get from Costco. The portions were very small as well (actually standard for a taco truck though. They cut it in half to make it look bigger though which also lets out any heat that might have been in the burrito to begin with. Save time and money and just have a rice cake. read more

Nope. This "Mexican" food truck has ambled up to the side of Angel City Brewery and opened up shop through a hole in the wall. You'll realize why this is relevant later in this review. With the captive audience of all those Angel City Brewery patrons, Downtown Tacos serves some of the worst Mexican food I've eaten in Los Angeles, and it's pretty hard to find bad Mexican food in LA. Combine the near-taste treat that is their menu with some crappy service and badly dehydrated cooks and you have an overpriced break from beer drinking. If ever there was a reason to Not have a see-thru kitchen area, this food truck is it. You can enjoy a tiny quesadilla made with Cheddar (why?) cheese for the upfront price of four bucks. If you're lucky, they will have melted all the cheese, but don't count on it. This food truck is not worth your time or money, just a calculated way to make you keep drinking beer. Genius. read more

(Dined 12/14/19 SA @ 6:00pm): The Downtown Taco Co. of Little Tokyo Arts District to be exact! In the throes of a couple beers floating at the bottom of my belly during Tora M.'s "2019 UYE Brew Ha-Ha #6" at Angel City Brewery in Little Tokyo Arts District, Downtown Taco Co. was a default eating choice since it was onsite this particular evening. Frankly, I'd never heard of or seen this food truck at the countless events I attended in some capacity throughout the year, so this was a perfect opportunity to add another meals-on-wheels to my list. Would I be down with their tacos and add them to the company of taco vendors I praised!? QUICK BIO "Previously known as Taqueria El Severo, they were home-based at Angel City Brewery and operated the same business hours. They welcomed all inquiries for catering your event." PURCHASE Suadero (l) & Al Pastor (r) Tacos ($3.00 x2): I'd never heard of suadero (braised beef belly) so of course I had to try it! When I received it, it immediately reminded me of the canned dog food I fed my mom's dog the night before with its gelatinous covering, not-quite-pink color, and mashable texture - yuck https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=NzC3_qRPlSfcZLRqbpRjqg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! Thankfully, once I dressed it up from head-to-toes, any previous imagery was erased from my mind and tasted rather nicely. The more familiar al pastor (customarily spit-grilled pork) was served with diced pineapple and caramelized onions, which I had no issues with. I prepped this taco the same way as the other, and in two large bites it was in my belly! Yeah... these were rather small for $3 ea. and didn't quite satisfy me https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=5HEeP7brgOLaX-EdPSZM-A&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. SERVICE From what I saw it was a two-man crew as the long continued to grow. The ordering process quizzically took longer than expected for those ahead of me. When it was my turn, I learned it was just the person at the order/register. As in true busy food truck fashion, it took nearly 15 minutes before I finally got my two tacos. Needless to say, it took me less than that to dress and eat both of them - good grief! PARKING (Varied; N/A this instance) I went Metro to the Little Tokyo Gold Line Station and walked a few blocks. Parking was generally crap in the area with various-timed meter limits (8pm was the latest) on all surrounding streets as well as nearby paid parking lots (approx. $10). They didn't have their own parking lot. The situation sucked. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE Some unique differences from other food trucks since Angel City Brewery was their home base as they basically attached themselves to a loading bay that opened to the main public house. Your standard self-sufficient food truck with an exterior menu, one order/pick up window, a separate area off to the side for condiments, napkins, and utensils, designated seating areas were throughout the brewery, and natural lighting was prevalent during the daytime while electric brewery lights filled in the rest. There were no TVs nor background music https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=R3Hu7SreoQfCZml4tSItlg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL I wasn't down with Downtown Taco Co. Food Truck and wished I wandered off the premises in search of other options. Frankly, the prices were high, the portion size small, pedestrian menu options, and the service left little to be desired. I recently had some amazing $3 tacos from a brick & mortar that put these to utter shame. In a town where you found tremendous tacos being served on every block, there was no reason to stop at this truck. I found decent value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $6.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice...AMEX! 2.5 STARS read more

Peanut chili some shit! Worst wings ever besides the ones they serve at Hooters. Pretty much wings tossed in oil then half a jar of chili powder thrown in the mix. Hot? Yes! Savory? Not at all! Would I order them again. No! Oh soggy soft celery and carrot sticks. I will just stop here. Good luck guys and true believer that everyone deserves a second chance just not me this time. read more

Downtown Taco - Tacos Near Me - Los Ángeles , California

Worst experience ever. Ordered carne asada nachos and a quesadilla. Nachos were served immediately upon paying which was basically a bunch of store bought chips covered in Tajín with unmelted cheese and cold meat they tried to pass off as carne asada. Quesadilla was served about twenty minutes later with a side of oil. Surprised that Angel City stands by this food as an option inside their brewery. Should have ordered from the food trucks outside the brewery instead. Overpriced and underwhelming. read more

$4 for a pretty decent, small quesadilla ($7 if you want protein with it) I definitely liked the nice selection of condiments to choose from. I threw some picked red onions, cilantro sprigs, pre-sliced lime, onions, radish slices, salsa, and a squeeze of lime in mine. Pretty good and convenient when you've got the drunk munchies from all those Angel City Brewery beers. Haven't tried any of the other items on the list. There are a few $6 range options like chicken wings, although not sure how many you actually get. The $9 burrito and $15 nachos seem a bit steep however, and didn't appear to be very big when I saw people receive them. Not a place I'd find myself having cravings for necessarily, but still relatively tasty! read more

They have the most incredible quesadillas. I also so appreciate that they lower the cost if you ask for no meat. I get with or without. Their chicken quesadilla has become my favorite in LA. Wonderfully seasoned, juicy chicken with the perfect amount of cheese. And that quesadilla is GRILLED. I got up for a bit to get drinks and that look nearly 10 with the line at the brewery. And when I got back, my quesadilla was still too hot to touch. The little chips and quac that come with it are so good too. And their salsa verde is also quite good. We battle the incredibly tough parking in the arts district to come here, and every time it is worth it. read more

3 words, GET THE SUADERO! It is amazing. Everything on the truck is tasty and the guys working it are great. Again try the SUADERO, it is beef belly. Very tender and flavorful. I would swim in it if I could! read more

I tried my hardest to love this place but by the end of my meal, I was torn between liking what I ate and thinking I could have done this. We got the infamous loaded fries and while both of us actually liked the taste of it, we found it underwhelming in the sense that they did nothing special. Fries? Nothing unique. Cheese? Nothing fancy. Brisket? Not as good as an actual bbq place. My main gripe is that for $15, it should have been something I couldn't have made myself, and I don't believe that was the case. Now for $7? Hell yea, I could never have made this for that price. But the issue here is I've have $8 nachos where I thought "you give me $100 to spend and I still couldn't replicate how they did this." I could not say the same about these loaded fries. I felt that tbis place was more about the convenience than the quality of food. But again, it wasnt bad... It just wasn't memorable, unique or stood out. read more

Very good tacos. Like some of the best I had. The vibe at this place is awesome people having fun and good beer too. I can see myself hanging out here with my buddies.

Downtown Taco - Wow tacos are sooo good - Tacos Near Me - Los Ángeles , California

Downtown Taco was parked at Angel City Brewery when my friends and I rolled through on a Saturday afternoon, and while their offerings weren't bad, they were overpriced and not on par with some of the incumbent taco champions in the area. Star 1: How were the service and atmosphere? It's a truck so you've got to check your atmosphere expectations at the door, but Downtown Taco handled the line well and had orders out in about ten to fifteen minutes, which wasn't unreasonable given the crowd. Star. Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost? Especially if it includes a self service topping bar, the going rate for small to medium sized tacos in Los Angeles is pretty much $1.50 across the board. I'd accept a bump to $2.00 or even $2.50 given the brewery location for the day, but $3.00 is too much for what we received. No Star. Stars 3 and 4: How was the food? These tacos were just okay. The pastor pineapple was the highlight given the tasty pork, but mediocre tortillas, subpar carne asada, and peripherals that were just okay didn't really cut the mustard here. Single Star. Star 5: Would you eat here every day if you could? There are much better tacos in the area. No Star. read more

Downtown Taco - Angel City - Tacos Near Me - Los Ángeles , California

The food is OK but the service is absolutely horrible. Zero concept of customer service and very bad communication. I had arranged for a Labor Day catering event at my house. We had agreed on the price and the invoice was paid 5 days in advance. 12 hours prior to my event I get a text that I need to pay another $200. When I asked why they said it was for travel. I had already paid all the fees per the online invoice. There was nothing o the invoice related to travel. They were trying to shake me down for another $200, 12 hours prior to my event. I would not recommend doing any business with this organization. They are dishonest and not trust worthy. If you have an event use an organization that will not try to blackmail you for additional fees right before your event starts. read more

Worst tacos I've ever had. The meat is not marinated in chimichurri like they advertise. You're better off going to the taco trucks on the street. $12 for 3 tacos plus tax!!! The price is ridiculous and not even worth it. Totally disappointed and surprised they are still open at Angel City despite having 3 starts on yelp. Customer service and quality of food deserves 1 star. read more

I have mixed feeling about this Taco Truck. The tacos were very tasty and so was the quesadilla but I ordered my food and it literally took 1.5 hours to get my food. About 30 to 40 people ordered their food after me and got their food before me. I was compensated with the free quesadilla but I just don't understand what the delay was. I know I ordered chicken and they were still cooking it. But they could've told me it would take an hour and half and if I wanted something else. Anyways, it is situated in Angel City Brewery and convenient for a quick bite while having some beers . Overall food is good and service could definitely be better. read more

Attached to Angel City Brewery. Which is awesome. But this truck really disappointing. From the overpriced everything, to the bland food, to the mediocre at best service, even limited amount of ingredients. On both of my visits here they ran out of multiple items. It's not a new spot so there's no excuse. Damn. I really wanted to like this place. I don't think I've been to a worse food truck honestly. If you ask me, which you didn't but I'll tell you anyway. Stop by literally any other food vendor before or after going to Angel City. They could've really had something great here. Oh well. read more

Ordered a chicken burrito with guacamole but instead got steak burrito. I told my boyfriend to go exchange it since after three bites I noticed the difference. I can tell because it made my stomach upset. I don't eat beef and when I do it makes me throw up and have an upset stomach. My boyfriend tells them and when they give me a new one there is no more guacamole plus they made it so thin. I understand it's busy and you ran out of guacamole but it's so thin. The other burrito I got was thicker and so was my boyfriend's burrito. I get that it's busy but it's no excuse for the lack of customer service in trying to fix the issue. read more

Avoid at all costs!!! read more

They charge $15 dollars for sorry nachos with minimal toppings. Probably the worst bang for your buck I've seen from a taco truck. I thought the $3 tacos were tasty, just not worth the price. The $6 fries were a good portion for sharing. You're better off eating somewhere else. read more
