    I went a few weeks ago and was shocked when my total was only $6 for 6 tacos, until I realized it was Tuesday and obviously got more! The tortillas here are handmade along with all their salsas, and the meat is juicy and flavorful with just that right amount of grease making it such a great taco. They're located on the corner of Lomita Blvd. and Normandie Ave. in Harbor City, which is perfect for Southbay Los Angeles folks. Not sure if they'll be there today since it's Christmas Eve, but definitely make sure to save this place for your next Taco Tuesday spot! It's hard to find places that are truly $1, which is why this place was packed. We probably waited around 20ish minutes to get our food but it was worth it. High recommend stopping by!

    I want to gatekeep this hidden gem so bad because of how insane the $1 Taco Tuesday special is! I arrived around 6:45pm and waited in line for about 15-20 minutes to order. Zelle, Venmo, and cash payments are accepted! After you order, fill up on the sauces and extra toppings at the adjacent table while waiting. Don't forget to grab some of the cooked onions and grilled jalapeño peppers in front of the grill! There's one table provided with about 8 chairs so expect yourself to be eating in your car or standing up nearby since there's so many other customers. Def wanna try their other items on the menu on another day!

    Honestly the best street tacos, I come here at least once a week. The al pastor is my favorite. If you go on Tuesdays, tacos are a buck.

    Located in a strip mall. Lots of parking…read more I've walked by and didn't even realize it was here. The only reason I came is because the owner was in a POV husband video. Takes credit card. Sell bottle beer and seltzer They have a condiment bar available. Taco $3.25- feels like a steep price. But the tortilla are hand made and have a nice chew. They are thick, but not too fluffy. Carnitas taco- the meat was really tasty. It was soft but still crispy with texture. A little excess oil. But was really good. Could be seasoned more. Asada- meat was soft. Has a nice grilled taste Al pastor- soft. The flavor is average. Nice texture to the meat grilled. Top shelf fries $16- was super super good. I would get this again. Great to share. Fries has your choice meat, topped with sour cream and guac. The fries are seasoned shoe string fries

    I am so sad to say that top shelf tacos just isn't what it used to be. I used to frequent the area…read morea few years ago and this place was my go to spot for fresh tacos. I think the biggest difference is that they stopped making the tortillas by hand and the meat doesn't taste as good as it used to. In all honesty, the quality has gone downhill. I know that they started a burger food truck that they have parked outside and maybe they are focusing their efforts on that but the change is definitely noticeable in a negative way. I was so excited to come back, but was pretty disappointed with my meal. I will say that the one good thing that they still have going for them is their amazing staff. All of the workers are extremely kind and helpful and they work very hard to keep a clean and aesthetic area. If you heard the hype of fresh handmade tortillas and wanted to try top shelf tacos, save yourself the trip. They don't do it anymore and It's just like any other taco place.

    On my regular Wednesday food trip with my girl friend, we both craved for some decent Mexican food,…read morefound this high reviewed food place on Yelp and decided to give it try. The photos look so appealing and temping already. Traffic was not bad at all driving from SGV close to noon time on a weekday. Aware of the parking in LA is an issue, we planned ahead and parked in the nearby Smart& Final shopping lot with 3 minutes walking distance. Problem solved easily. They have variety of food items on the menu with reasonable pricing. The chicken on the grillers smelled so good so we decided to try the 2pc chicken plate and Asada burrito. The food was freshly made right in front of you and that is satisfying and the same time challenging your patience because they look too delicious!!!! There is a small outdoor dinning table on the table but it was full so we went back to our car to enjoy the feast. OMG....We probably repeated that word numerus times when we were eating the food. Every bite on the chicken tasting like heaven, nicely grilled chicken skin on the outside, chicken itself is moist, flavorful, tender and not dry. Their salsa and spicy avocado sauce are a must-try to the chicken. My girl friend told me this is the BEST Asada burrito she's ever had, rich in flavors/texture, the rice is perfectly cooked, the tortilla is double grilled before serving. Everything about the burrito is on point. Can't find anything negative about it. Street food always talks to me but THIS one makes me fall in love with. Highly recommended people in LA or not!!

    My brother and I were running some errands in the area, and happened to see a large crowd of people…read morewaiting in line to order some food. We were feeling kind of hungry, so we just decided to pop in! Parking was a bit of a mission, but we decided to chance it, and parked in the plaza they are situated in front of. We figure we could watch the car should anything happen. But if you're lucky, meters and street parking are available in the neighborhood! They had a variety of delicious options on their menu, and the tacos looked really good. But I wanted to eat healthier, so we went for the 2 piece chicken plate. It was fun to watch the Chef cooking up the deliciously marinated chicken. I could smell the spices and feel myself salivating at the thought of eating such juicy pieces of chicken! I also liked the fact that even though it's street food, they had a small little seating area for guests. The chicken was really yummy, I recommend the dark meat for sure! Try their salsas for some added flavor. Since the plate comes with tortillas, you can even make little mini tacos if you're up to it! Cute little stand, lovely people and amazing food! Will try their tacos next time!

    I love Leo's tacos truck and have visited three of their other locations around LA. The food is…read moreconsistently delicious at all locations, but some places are inconsistent about whether they are cash only or take card. This location did accept credit card payment. This food truck is on the corner of the street so it's easy to see. Parking is not bad, there's about 15-20 parking spaces in the back corner behind the truck plus street parking around the block. It's usually empty during the day but not sure how busy nighttime could get. If you go in the day they don't always have their condiments and sides laid out and are provided in baggies for easier takeout (they didn't have radishes yet). My go to order is a vampiro and three tacos. The vampiro always takes a while to make, but the cheese is always melted nicely.

    Honestly - just a hard okay. We got a couple each of carne asada, al pastor, lengua, and cabeza…read moretacos. Cabeza and al pastor were decent but nothing to call home about. Carne asada was mediocre and lengua was weirdly dry. We also got al pastor fries which had soggy fries but we appreciated that they chopped up the pina for our fries) they charged extra for it) Salsa were also mediocre - the avocado cream and salsa verde were flavorless and less than mild. Their chipotle salsa was okay, one dimensional. Habanero salsa had an okay kick but again, one dimensional. Sides were okay - love fresh onions with habanero. I appreciate radish and cucumber and the onion/cilantro were finely diced. Didn't try the beans. Pricey but portions were solid. Tortillas were store bought and low tier/kinda dry.
