I'm not going to lie I had no idea what to expect because I've never heard of this place. We got it for lunch and it was sooooo good! We had two chicken bowls (came on a plate). They gave very good portions. Super impressed. Can't wait to try again! read more

Happy Taco near the USC campus is a pretty solid spot if you're in the area and craving Mexican food. The neighborhood itself isn't exactly the most glamorous, but they've done a nice job making the space feel inviting. There's a small patio dining area if you want to sit and enjoy your food. One little detail I loved: the chips have this fun, jagged edge that makes them feel like they were cut special -- a small touch, but it stands out. The birria was also very tasty, flavorful without being overly oily. The carne asada was also really good -- juicy, seasoned well, and cooked just right. The chicken, though, was kind of forgettable; not bad, just nothing special. Food was very delicious but unfortunately there was a bit of a hiccup with our order. They misheard me at first, so when they brought it out, they had to swap to hardshell tacos and then charge me a bit more. Even after that, the dish still came out with the guac sauce on it, even though we had asked for it on the side when we ordered. At that point, I didn't feel like sending it back again, so we just rolled with it. The hard shell taco was surprisingly sturdy and thick, not greasy at all, and had a nice crunch to it. Service was friendly, though the mix-up did slow things down a bit. Overall, it's not a perfect experience, but still really hit the spot. read more

I ordered a burrito with scrambled eggs instead of a fried egg, and they completely messed up my order. When I politely pointed it out, the employee gaslit me and claimed the fried egg in my burrito was "scrambled." I literally had to pull up Google Images to show her what scrambled eggs actually look like. Instead of apologizing or correcting the mistake, she acted like I was inconveniencing her. No offer to fix it, no refund--nothing until I insisted. And even after making me wait another 30 minutes (mind you, I was the only customer there around 12:10 p.m.), they handed me back the exact same thing. When I asked to speak to a manager, she said the manager wasn't there and refused to give me a contact number. This is some of the worst customer service I've ever experienced. No accountability, no effort to make things right, just pure attitude. If you enjoy being disrespected, waiting 30 minutes for a wrong order, and arguing just to get basic service--this is the place for you. Otherwise, do yourself a favor and go literally anywhere else. read more

Update: I ended up getting food poisoning from here. Originally I gave this 3 stars, but this was severe food poisoning and I know it came from the carne asada. I am really disappointed because the quality of the carne asada was so bad. Truly the worst carne asada I've ever had. It was grisly, hard, and really not enjoyable to eat. But the rest of the burrito was fire! I LOVED the hash browns inside!! I think if I had gotten a different meat, I would be saying this is one of the best breakfast burritos I've ever had. But since the meat was that bad, unfortunately I can't. The burrito is also a great size! The salsa it came with was really good too, and the chips were nice and thick. Maybe try a different type of meat. read more

I havent eaten here i a long time. Mostly due to parking which can be a nightmare. Many times i am driving by and look for parking on the street and if there is some ill stop and this time it was right in the front. I ordered the 3 taco plate since it was taco tuesday. It came with beans and rice. It was good, just wish it had some other things on it other than meat, onions and avacado, err, guacamole which i dont like. The tacos were kind of dry but i ate everything and i think i was satisfied more because i was very full. I was kinda happy! read more

We placed an order through DoorDash on 6/04/2025. What a disappointment. Our order consisted of Caldo de res, Chilaquiles burritos, 3 taco combo, esquites and a la carte carne asada taco and al pastor taco. 1. Caldo de res had no beef flavor whatsoever. It tasted like watered down chicken soup. There was no corn and no Mexican rice. I added so much salt to try to make edible but it wasn't. $20 for watered down soup down the drain. 2. The chilaquiles burrito was spicy as heck. We can handle a little spice but this was burn the inside of your mouth spicy. There should be a warning on the menu on the spice level. 3. Al pastor has changed. They used to make good Al pastor meat but now it doesn't even taste like Al pastor. Asada was sub par. 4. Esquites were very good. I'll give credit where credit is due. We've been customers for years and we've noticed the decline in quality but always gave them a chance. We love to support small businesses but This time around was our last time ordering from Happy Taco. $100 worth of food that was barely edible. Shame on you Happy Taco, shame on you. read more

It's acceptable. I tried the chilaquiles my partner had the breakfast burrito bowl. Pricing is adequate for the food and service was pretty prompt. Small place I didn't dine-in so idk how the atmosphere is inside. Overall and all in all it was okay. read more

Had a craving for shrimp fries, like nachos but with fries instead of chips. This was the only place in ktown that I could find that sells them. We had the shrimp fries, two asada tacos and a horchata. I highly recommend the fries, but ask for them to substitute the nacho cheese for real grated cheese. The service was great, I ordered before I got there and it was ready to go by the time I picked up. They have a small outdoor patio where you can eat and it looks very clean. I took my food home though because it was cold out. read more

A good take out spot with a patio for dining. I have a breakfast burrito there twice. Both times the burrito didn't miss. Hot, tasty and filling with a protein, fluffy egg, cheese and hash brown inside. The tortilla chips that give you with your order are perfectly crispy and crunch and fresh. There are also creative takes on the breakfast burrito including a chilaquiles burrito and even a torta. If you go before 11 a.m. you get free coffee. read more

So sad that they don't have fried plantains anymore (because that was what made their Mayan breakfast burrito the best), but the food is still good! I used to frequent this place back when I lived in Koreatown because they were the only Mexican restaurant with food that I would crave. Parking is still a pain around here but hopefully you come when they have an open spot in their back lot (or else you gotta go searching for some street parking). You still order at a small window in the front and then if you are going to dine-in, they have a small covered patio on the side that you have to be let in through a small locked gate to sit at the tables. We ordered chilaquiles verdes (tortilla chips coated in salsa Verde and topped with cheese, raw onions, cilantro, eggs) that day because I haven't had chilaquiles in many years. Oh my god they were so flavorful and delicious--a little strong in flavor (salty and sour) so it pairs well with the rice, beans, and eggs. The chips were still lightly crispy despite being coated in the sauce, and it was worth having onion breath for the rest of the day. I would definitely try their chilaquiles again with salsa roja next time. I recommend the mole and tinga tacos in addition to the chilaquiles! Will definitely be back whenever I am craving Happy Taco again read more

Pretty bummed the last time I came here. Ordered the super fries and nachos with carne asada. 1. The portions have gotten smaller within a few months. 2. They reheated the carne asada. That's a big NO NO!! And I've been here many times that their meat is always fresh. NOT this time. I don't know if it's the cook. They didn't have any sales that day. Or they want to use the meat from the day. I got the food around 5pm. You would think it would be fresh for dinner time. But yup that's my sad story of this place. Maaaaybe the next time I go for a breakfast burrito and nachos the meat will be fresh. I am paying for freshness. This time they added the green pickled sliced jalapeños peppers. That was not there the last few times I got it. Must be something new or they wanted to get rid of it. It didn't taste good. Tasted like spoiled But I will say good service. Oh and on another note they didn't have the churros for the Yelp check in. maybe next review will be better since this is my fave place to get a breakfast burrito. read more

I've been here before but never tried their breakfast menu. It came highly recommended from a family member. There's numerous options for breakfast burritos, including Regular Breakfast Burrito and SUPER BREAKFAST BURRITO. My son and I went with the 3 little pigs Super Burrito. It comes with Bacon, ham, and sausage with grilled bell peppers, onions, and guacamole. My wife got the Mayan burrito and loved it. This might be my new breakfast spot. read more

Overall: 4.4/5 (delivery) We ordered on Postmates, and the food was delivered in half an hour. All the portion sizes & prices were great. Birria de Res Tree Tacos Plate ($16.95): I'm also craving birrias tacos when I want tacos. This was a great deal since other places charge like $5/birria tacos & extra $ for the consome. The rice and beans were okay and on the blander side. I didn't really like the consome and there wasn't a lot of meat. The tacos had a lot of meat but they were lacking flavor overall. Wouldn't get this item again. Happy Burrito ($14.95): I saw a lot of good reviews for their burritos so I had to try one of their popular ones. The happy burrito did not disappoint and was so good! There's 3 type of proteins so I was pretty full from eating half of it. Everything about it was good except the grilled carne asada had a lot of the tendons so i had to chew and spit these out a couple of times (definitely not cute for a date). Other than that issue, this is probably my favorite item. Cajun Shrimp Crispy Taco ($6.95): We didn't eat our food right away so we were quite surprised that the taco shell remained crispy the entire time. The shrimps were big and juicy. All the right flavors were there. I can see why this is a popular item. This was also my husband's favorite item of the 3 we tried. read more

Last time I give this place a shot. They are renowned for getting your order wrong. There is nothing more consistent about this place than them getting your order wrong.

OK, I have not done a review in years. Well, this is my first review 2025 on yelp. I'd ordered three tacos. One was a shrimp taco what was a ground chuck steak I believe and a pollo asado taco with an order of fries by delivery of GrubHub. It said it was gonna take about 30+ minutes to arrive. Once the person arrived They kept calling me and leaving me messages and I am like waiting at my door for them to deliver as states on the directions. I left a text message stating to leave my order at the door and Plus GrubHub wanted me to give them a two digit code. GrubHub says that occasionally they give customers to give the driver two digit code. Two digit code was 98. Well the driver never came to my door for some reason I kept calling him (Javier) and when I call him GrubHub said that or we cannot reach the driver. I text the person again like where are you. I can still see the car on a little map that delivery apps provide for the customer and the driver. So the driver never came. I got a message from GrubHub staff when I opened it it said your order was delivered, which was not true because I was standing at the door, the whole time waiting so I can give the driver to two digit code. It showed me a picture of a senior citizen building that's on the block. Because I recognize it's colors. I was very upset because I have a viral infection and I'm not feeling my best. But I was feeling well enough to eat some food because I was hungry. I had to walk all the way to the senior citizens building. Which was not fun to do because again not feeling my best. I'm a little weak to be walking, especially in the cold at night time. Anyhow, when I got the food, I immediately called GrubHub. I had a small chat through their chat box. There was a little back-and-forth, but I eventually got my money back. For the inconvenience. Then I want to call the restaurant because the restaurant didn't even secure my bag. They only tied it in a knot. I like my bag with a sticker or some kind of tape or something from the restaurant indicated the food hasn't been tampered with. Also, the fries were very nasty and cold. I will insert a picture.. I did not the fries at all. The tacos were so-so. They were tolerable. Does the ground chuck taco was very salty. That was gross. The other two tacos were OK to eat. I wanted to speak to the manager when I called. I called around 7 o'clock in the evening, February 24, 2025. I asked to speak to the manager to the lady who picked up at that time on that shift. She told me the manager wasn't there. I asked well when will the manager be in and what is their name. She told me oh they should be there in the morning. Then I said what is their name. She told me no I could not have their name or She didn't know how to pronounce their name or something like that. So I said you don't know how to pronounce the name. Then she says well their name is I asked her do you not know their name. Then she says well his name is Guadalupe. I said his name? She said yes, his name. I said his name is Guadalupe and is a woman's name? She said yes. I said well OK thank you. This was a bizarre experience I had. It wasn't a great experience again. I am sick, something I do not wish on someone. I didn't feel like cooking so I wanted something to eat. And this was my experience. I had gross fries, sweaty fries by the way the bag that the food came in was very sweaty and wet inside. And the one taco the ground chuck taco was very salty. I only ordered because the ratings to order the food seemed ok. I was going to get Mediterranean food, but I chose this place. I will not ever choose this place again. Hello Guadalupe, the male manager. The food order was bad. The package wasn't secure for delivery and not the right material for the food. The bag was sweaty and wet inside. The fries were soggy. The tacos almost. They still had a little crunch. Not good happy taco. I was not too happy! read more

Went for breakfast burritos - got one with bacon, and one with avocado. If you like a crispy hashbrown, this is the burrito for you. Good quantity of avocado in the burrito with no meat, and good quantity of bacon in the other. Comes in at a great price point as well - $9.95. The only thing that would prevent me from going back is the fried egg inside the burrito. I don't feel like this works better than a scrambled egg in this case, because there are times when you're eating exclusively egg white, and it is a little unsatisfying. Salsa that comes with the burrito has a very nice spice to it, although the flavor is a little lacking. Overall very solid! They have an extensive menu, with a large vegetarian section, so there's something for everyone. Walkup window is very cute and relatively efficient. Street parking might be a struggle, but we got lucky. read more

I used to love Happy Taco. We used to go a couple times a month but the last few times have just been inconsistent. They got rid of their chorizo and the soyrizo is not similar at all (most soyrizo comes close). Ingredients sometimes missing or added contrary to the specific lists on the menu. Today, I ordered their soyrizo breakfast burrito and added beans (extra charge). When I got home, I cut the burrito in half to share with my gf only to discover that it was full of avocado. Nowhere on the menu did it state that avocado was in the burrito. One of us can't eat avocado so I had to go back to the restaurant to get another one. When we tried this one, not only were there no beans, there was no chipotle aioli or cilantro crema, both of which were listed in the menu description. The burrito was super flavorless and it was very disappointing that so many ingredients (especially one that was an up charge) were missing. Friendly service and nice people. Nice little patio too read more

I ordered a burrito and the meat was burned and dried out. Never experienced anything like it. Maybe they tried to rehest meat ongriddle and left it on for too long. The salsa is like hot sauce froma bottle and they use converted rice for their mexican rice. Gross. read more

So my wife found this place visiting LA 3 years ago and would randomly brag about how I need to try it. We came to LA maybe a year later and she couldn't remember the name or location of the restaurant. So this weekend we decided to take a random trip to LA, she asked me what did I want to eat the first night, I said WE BETTER GO TO THIS TACO PLACE YOU SAID IS THE BEST YOU'VE EVER HAD . The pressure was on and she couldn't remember the name. Luckily we had access to her previous trips through a 3rd party site so that helped because she stayed close to here. Fast forward we made it prior to closing, she ordered the taco plate, it came with 2 chicken tacos, added cheese ($1), added sour cream($1), Mexican rice and refried beans(total $11.95). She loved her tacos but didn't care for the beans and rice. They tasted like it was missing some maybe some butter and salt/seasoning or something. For her drink she had a Watermelon Fresca $4.50 which was delicious. It was a large menu so I didn't know what I wanted. I ended buying a cajun shrimp taco and cajun fish taco ($5/each). They were delicious I would choose the shrimp first if I had to chose even though these are street tacos so they can only put on as much as possible. I wanted a side so I ask for chips and salsa which is $4, the cashier said I asked if I just wanted a bag for $1 as it comes with salsa anyway so I said just give me the bag. Well the salsa was more of the kind you pour on tacos instead of chunk of tomatoes, etc. The red salsa was hot but I enjoyed it. For a bonus I received a free churro for a Yelp check in. My wife and I shared the caramel churro. Omg I almost ordered some to go they were so good. I like churros but usually they don't taste like much but these here were read more

Guess what I ordered again and they messed up again? Super Nachos!! They charge $17 for this on Uber Eats. It's SUPPOSED to come with "choice of protein, nacho cheese, Pico de Gallo, Guacamole, and Jalapeños!" Guess what we got. Chips, cheese, meat. Admittedly these are the most "important" parts of nachos, but we are missing Pico de Gallo, Guacamole, Sour Cream, and jalapeños. All the stuff that adds to nachos and just makes it BETTER. At least they didn't forget the damn CHEESE this time. We are done with this place. How do you mess up this many times? Absolutely unbelievable! read more

Sweet baby, Jebus, Happy Taco is pretty good! I don't know if it's because I was super hungry and it was getting to be a late lunch, but Happy Taco didn't disappoint! I decided to order some food via Doordash and decided to go with some Mexican food. I did some trusty yelp research and based on the fairly positive reviews, decided to give it a try. I ordered a lot of their most popular items including the California Burrito ($13.95), Happy Burrito ($13.95), carne asada ($2.95), pollo asada ($2.95), and birria de res tacos ($3.50). The burritos were pretty big and came with a side of chips, which were absolutely delicious. Overall, I'm a happy customer. read more

Was looking for late night tacos and ended up finding this place on Yelp and the all day breakfast burritos immediately caught my eye! Got my 10 pm burrito to split with my bf. We chose the carne asada breakfast burrito option with the hash brown filling. It was so satisfying!! Packed with tons of meat and the combination of this with fried eggs, cheese, and hash browns is so amazing. And soooo glad they offer this at night for those munchies. Most places stop serving at 11am when I can barely wake up lol. For $10 you get a large burrito (def enough for 2 people), 2 little bags of tortilla chips, and salsas. Also, there's a check in for a churro and the caramel one was to die for!! Literally has that extra creaminess inside that hits that spot. read more
