First time at this location. We parked at the mall. Short walk. Otherwise, the parking close by is metered. Not worth the hassle, driving around and then pay. My wife got the 6mini sampler and I ordered 3 tacos. Fish tacos Shrimp tacos Pork tacos Fairly pricey , however excellent quality. Note to self. Watch out on ones that are spicy. Spicy isn't a joke. I forget which one, but years ago I got a spicy taco - I believe level 6 of spicy (out of 10). And while I survived , not everyone would. Nor would I ever attempt again. New drink - strawberry horchata ! Very seen it ever. My wife loves strawberries, so she had to get it. Actually was impressed with the creativity. Also ordered bag of the premade horatcha. As of today, we haven't tried . Will update the review accordingly. Plenty of seating area. We are outside. Highly recommend going. Will return ! read more

Place is a joke not only is it over priced but the portions is ridiculously small! Ordered a so called quesadilla and boy was the joke on me , on the menu it said $6.95 I was charged $9 bucks? Anyway it is not a quesadilla the owner is scamming people it was literally a street taco ! Look at the photo I posted! Will not be returning there ever again! If you are trying to get full by eating here expect to pay around $45 per person!!!!! Haha read more

Overall, decent tasting food and drink. Service was satisfactory. Pricing can be reasonably described as "premium". As can be clearly seen in photos, portion sizes are modest. Parking in the area can be tricky to obtain - I parked in the free underground garage on the east corner of 1st/Palm, and it was a short walk from there. Overall, this place "hit the spot", and I would consider returning if I was in the area and needed a quick and small bite. read more

Pulled up knowing the reputation. Left aligned. At Guisados the food does exactly what it's supposed to do. No filler. No confusion. Just braises that taste like time and care. Tortillas soft and warm. Slight chew. Corn-forward. Built to carry sauce without falling apart. Cochinita pibil is the standout. Pork cooked down until it shreds without effort. Earthy. Slightly sweet. Acid from the pickled onions cuts clean. Every bite balanced. Nothing muddy. Nothing lost. The steak picado stays honest. Beef tender. Saucy. Not swimming. Peppers and onions folded in just enough. Savory first. Comfort all the way through. Tinga de pollo hits smoky and familiar. Tomato-forward. Mild heat. Chicken stays juicy. This is the taco you order two of without thinking. Camarones bring a different energy. Shrimp cooked right. Still bouncy. Sauce rich without overpowering. A little indulgent. Worth the switch-up. Service is fast and focused. Orders move. Food lands hot. No unnecessary chatter. No delays. They know why you're there. The room stays casual and busy. People eating with intent. No lingering. No spectacle. Just a steady flow of good tacos. It's giving... dependable classic that never misses. read more

Well here we are is Thursday and I have not heard from the owner five days later. All I'm asking is to put a sign next to the register informing the customer about the 3% credit card fee. These days everything keeps going up and up, gas, groceries, rent etc. It would be nice to get a heads up so we can avoid the fee and pay cash instead. I love your tacos but sadly I'm afraid I won't be making the trip to your Burbank location or any other location. There are plenty of other places in LA. Wish you luck read more

Guisados - Tacos Near Me - Burbank, California

**December 2025: Sunday Afternoon Visit** My friend and I were shopping at Jackalope Art Fair in Downtown Burbank and needed a quick lunch between heading off to our next event. I saw Guisados and thought it looked very promising as it noted having homemade tortillas and really diverse fillings. Also they had a bathroom and after several hours of shopping I needed a place with a clean facility, which this did have. On our visit we each decided to try three different tacos and an Aqua Fresca. I chose a Cochinita Pibil (Shredded pork $4.25), Bistek Roja (Simmered Flank Steak. $4.25), and Hongos (Mushrooms $4.25) for my tacos, a Melon (Cantaloupe $3.25), and I decided to go for a elote tamale ($4.75). Patrons pay for their selection at the counter and have a worker will bring it out to you. There is a section near the counter where you can self-serve yourself water. There's two different dinning options you can dine inside the restaurant. I think there were maybe 8 -10 tables and outside with around the same amount though part of the area outside it shaded and the part closer to the street was very sunny. My friend and I were able to find a spot on the outside that was still shaded. The tacos arrived on a large circular tray and my tamale was put on a paper plate. Each taco while they did taste freshly made were kind of bland. The texture of the tortilla did work well with the different fillings, but I wasn't blown away with flavor. For me these tacos tasted toned down perhaps to appeal to a broader audience. I ate them all and the products did do their job in keeping me full but the star of the meal was my melon drink - which tasted very refreshing. The tamale was okay as well - kind of reminded me a corn pudding that you get at buffet restaurants. Overall, it's an okay experience. read more

The Guisados Sampler Plate is the perfect way to experience everything they do well. Six mini tacos, each with a distinct personality, and honestly--not a weak bite in the bunch. The lineup includes steak picado, mole poblano, chorizo, chicharrón, chuleta, and tinga de pollo, and every single one is packed with rich, comforting flavor. Standouts for me were the chicharrón, which is unbelievably creamy and melts in your mouth, and the mole poblano, with its beautifully balanced sweet heat that keeps you coming back for more. Each taco feels thoughtfully cooked and well-seasoned, making the sampler both fun and satisfying. If you're new to Guisados or just can't decide on one filling, this sampler is a no-brainer. It's flavorful, hearty, and a reminder of why Guisados is such a favorite read more

Wonderful service. I often visit here when I come into town. The mole and shrimp tacos are the best. Melon agua Fresca can't be beat. Tamales are also delicious. Great meal, great service. Parking can be iffy. Come early or not during peak meal times. read more

If you're looking for a quick bite, Guisados is a solid spot. They offer a variety of tacos, but if you're debating on which one to get, do yourself a favor and get the cochinita pibil. I also tried their steak picado and pescado. The steak is tender and flavorful, but the pescado was bland, I would pass on it. You order at the counter and food comes out to you within minutes. read more

I've gone to the guisados in Beverly Hills and loved it so when I was walking around after catching a movie and saw they had one in Burbank I was excited! I am pleased to say the quality and flavor is consistently delicious and I loved the cozy indoor eating area. They also have an outdoor eating area. Great place to stop by if you're walking around shopping in the area or catching a movie for a date. The service was fast although it wasn't busy to begin with so there was hardly a wait time before we received the freshly made tacos. Love the handmade flavor of the tortillas. As always our go to is mole poblano 10/10, steak picado 9/10, tinga 9/10, sweet desert tamale de elote 9/10. Everything else is good too but these are our top. read more

I was kind of in a rush, so I ordered small and enjoyed 2 Cochinita Pibil tacos from here. The service was good, and the cashier offered me a sample of the two types of pork tacos I was trying to decide between and that was a plus for ME. In MY experience, I would have to ask. The restaurant is small, yet suits its purpose well. I will undoubtedly visit again, probably in the near future. read more

I saw this place on Instagram and all the hype made me want to check it out. Maybe I came on an off day, but I left a little underwhelmed. The tortillas were handmade, which I appreciated, but they didn't have much flavor and were a little too thick for what they were holding, so they kept breaking apart. I ordered the Sampler OG platter, and two of the three tacos were good, but the other one was less than mid. read more

Guisados was suchhhh a treat! You can tell the food is made with lots of love. It reminded me of my grandmother's cooking. I think one of my favorite items that I ordered was the refried black beans with queso and homemade tortillas. It took me back to my childhood. The salsas were also incredible. I genuinely wish I could take the whole supply for myself. Some had habanero, others were much more mild green chile. No matter which salsa you choose, it's bound to have lots of flavor. The servers were very attentive and kind to us. There's a bathroom in the back and outdoor/indoor seating. I only took off a star because I feel that it's a bit overpriced. Nearly $5 for a small taco felt a little much. I had checked the prices on here prior to ordering, but I suppose the prices have changed. Would come again though! read more

The food here is so fresh and delicious. Everything tastes home-made. These tacos are a lot different than what you'll find around LA(meat, salsa, raw onions/cilantro). They are unique in the best way. Each having its own sauce/toppings. If you're unsure of what to get, ask for recommendations. I was recommended the bistek and it was soo good. The beef was so tender and the sauce was bomb. I also got the frijoles with no queso taco and the ceviche tostada. The frijoles weren't dry at all. They were really tasty. And they put a Smokey salsa over it that really makes it pop. And the ceviche tostada was sooo yummy, not fishy. The perfect size. Staff were nice and friendly. The restaurant was clean. Great experience and amazing food! read more

I've been to Guisados a few times and am always happy about how fresh everything tastes. Their tacos are pretty good--I think their calabasitas is probably my favorite. Decent size tacos as well! read more

Guisados - Tacos Near Me - Burbank, California

Was in Burbank and found myself hungry at night. I had never had tacos in LA before so I was curious about trying out tacos. I noted this place was open late so I decided to stop by. The inside of the store is a bit more like a newer trendy store than a hole in the wall taco shop. Chalk on the wall and black boards make it feel like a new kid on the block. The tacos were... ok. I'm a san diego native and had lots of tacos near the border, and they were way greasier. I think I prefer it this way. These tacos were more saucy than greasy. Not bad, just not what I'm used to. read more

Guisados - steak, pork, and spicy pork - Tacos Near Me - Burbank, California

I have never made it to Guisados for breakfast before. I have always been curious, especially since I saw the weenie breakfast burrito! Eggs and weenies growing up was an incredible breakfast. When I got older having it again was always comforting, a throwback to childhood. First and foremost I found out that at least at the Burbank location breakfast ends at 1 pm. Now Michelle took our order and she was incredibly friendly. She helped me choose the Pumpkin spice horchata cold brew and prepared it herself. I think one of my favorite things about this location is that I have never had a bad experience here. All the employees truly go above and beyond to make your experience great. Now down the business. My Tocino breakfast taco was great! Of course their hand made tortilla was the base for soft eggs and strips of crispy bacon. I drenched it in their salsa which had a good spice and flavor. The weenie breakfast burrito with the addition of pork and bean was a throwback to my childhood. A classic breakfast growing up and reminded me of wonderful times. read more

It's 9pm on a Thursday night and in this section of Burbank it's filled with many people enjoying a warm summer night out on the town. Luckily there was no wait at this taco restaurant to grab a quick bite to eat. I ordered the pricy fish taco, chili verde taco, and a Agua de Jamaica. The fish taco was so delicious and the chili verde was okay, but whatever chili they added had my lips burning. read more

Worth the try: The OG Sampler (6 mini tacos). Great way to try different tacos, my ranking is below: #1 Mole Poblano: shredded chicken braised in a nutty, poblano-style mole. Great depth of flavors. #2 Tinga de Pollo: shredded chicken braised with pork chorizo, chipotle, tomatoes, cabbage and onion. Delicious, smokey flavor that really surprised me. #3 Cochinita Pibil: shredded pork braised in a sweet achiote chile. The pickled red onions really balance out the flavor. #4 Steak Picado: flank steak braised with bacon & green bell peppers. The bacon and peppers make this one stand out. #5 Bistek Roja: flank steak braised with red bell peppers & tomatoes. Standard steak taco, nothing too crazy about this one. #6: Chicharron: deep fried pork rinds braised in a chile verde. Thought I'd love this one but it ended up pretty mushy with the flavors and textures all just blending together. My least favorite out of the whole plate. PARKING: Located in downtown Burbank, limited street parking available or there is a parking garage nearby. ATMOSPHERE: Fairly large shop with a good amount of seating indoors and outdoors. Casual spot for a quick bite and authentic Mexican food. SERVICE: Went on a Monday at 7pm so no one was around, but the staff was nice to us and quick to get our food out. I was craving tacos so my partner and I came here for a quick bite. I love the variety and the fact that I can have 6 mini tacos in one platter. My partner mentioned that this place used to be packed back in the day, but now they have multiple chains across LA which is great. For a chain, the food tastes authentic and satisfies my taco cravings. Would recommend for anyone looking for a casual meal or some good tacos! read more

Guisados - The OG Sampler - Tacos Near Me - Burbank, California

I was surprised to see vegan options at guisados. They have vegan medley and vegan peppers tacos. Double check with the cashier on what they cook with. The cashier let me know that they cook the food in butter. I am not sure if they are aware the difference between vegan and vegetarian. So those who are sensitive to dairy and are allergic to meat products, cross contamination is there. Make sure they cook in oil and let them know no dairy if you want it vegan instead of vegetarian. I am a fan of the vegan medley. It's basically corn, zucchini, pineapples, onions, and bell pepper. They vegan peppers is spicy. I would say it's about 6 on the spice level. It's bell peppers, avocado, jalapeños, tomatoes, and cilantro. Beans are made with animal products so beware for those who have sensitive diets. Even if it's still veggies, they still charge you regular price for their other orders. It was $4.25 per taco. You order and they will drop off the food to your table. They add a 3% surcharge if you pay with credit card. They will remove the surcharge if you pay cash. There's two gender neutral restrooms that were dirty and needed to be cleaned. Parking is free at the structure and street. It's in downtown Burbank so there are other restaurants and there is a movie theater (AMC). It was packed so it was pretty loud. They got outdoor and indoor seating . My food came fast, but my sister's food took a while. I put 3 stars since their vegan tacos don't have protein and they overcharge. It's something as easy as making beans without animal products or adding spinach. read more

My review is based on a visit from 2023, but I cannot stop thinking about this place. These were hands down the best tacos I have ever eaten and I mean that. The nopales were on point, there were grilled onions along with a delicious red salsa! I also got Carne Asada, which had a creamy verde sauce. I also got a Melon agua fresca, which was extremely refreshing. The employees were super nice and helped us with the menu. This is a nice quick eat. When I travel back to California, I will be back to Guisados. read more

What hasn't been said about this place? Albeit pricey, it's one of the best taco spots in our area. Their tacos are a good size for the price too. The vibes are always good inside or outside. My faves are conchinita pibil, and the chicken mole. Their vegetarian options are also very good. Their Agua Frescas have remained affordable compared to other drinks in the area and I always recommend them to friends. read more

I love how many different veggies they had on the tacos but I do wish they offered some kind of bean protein or any vegan protein to add to the vegan options as I left still wanting more and you'd have to eat like 5 tacos full of simply veggies to be full, you know? Overall it was fresh and okay but not amazing. Flavors are very subtle at least for what I ordered. The spot is very cozy with brick walls. The customer service was quick and friendly. If you wanted a spot where you can bring people with different diet restrictions together I guess this could work but I think there could be better options. read more

Guisados seems to be a favorite for a lot of people, so this might just be a me thing. I'm more used to authentic, street-style tacos, and these didn't quite hit that mark for me. The flavors felt a bit muted and not as bold or traditional as I was expecting, and the overall texture of the tacos leaned very mushy--lots of stewed fillings without much contrast. That said, I can see the appeal if you're into a more "bougie" or comfort-style taco experience. It just wasn't what my taco palate is used to, so take this review with a grain of salt. Not bad, just not my go-to for tacos. read more

Food tastes great. That's not the issue. The tacos are tiny (which I knew going in), but shrinkflation has hit guisados and they've gotten smaller and more expensive. Honestly you cannot charge $15.00 for three tiny tacos. I somehow left hungrier. I know businesses are hurting but this pricing is a war crime. read more

Stopped by this location in downtown Burbank to have tacos for dinner. It was a Saturday evening, semi crowded but service was fast. There is inside and outside seating available, well lit and low level noise with music. I ordered the shrimp tacos and chicken mole tacos. Both very tasty and full of flavor. The business was started in LA, run by a father and son team. read more

Great customer service and tastytacos! I don't come here often so I had questions and they had answers; helped me pick the right stuff and it hit the spot. Food came out quick and had good flavors, loved the authentic tortilla and the Mole Pablano was the one for me just because mole can have such diversity to it, it's nice to find one you like. There's a million tacos spots in LA and Guisados has an aire of quality to it that a truck or stand lacks so it was a (+) experience. Check it out if you haven't already. read more

I have visited this restaurant many times and many years... I always have been a fan of spicy salsa... so when I dined with you guys I always eat them they way I like it. Today I had an out town guest we purchased 7 samplers and 2 tamales (8 plp)... I asked for lots of salsa. Edwards was pretty rude, unpleasant... he said he can only give 2 small container (which is not even filled al the way) ... max 14 little salsa. Otherwise he will charge me... I am VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED... I WILL STRONGLY ADVISE TO ALL MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS TO SKIP THIS LOCATION. Is not worthed to treated so rudely in front my guests and they are coming from San Diego (town of Mexican food) which i had told them you were my fave. WELL NOT ANYMORE... THEY ARE PLENTY OF RESTAURANT TO GO TO to spend over $100 to fight about SALSA. Which i have to go find and get my own salsa. John... I was informed you are the manager... I hope you take this issue seriously or not. read more
