This place has been outstanding each and every time I've gone. From the food to the service this place truly represents the best of our culture and I'm proud to be a customer. I recommend their carne asada burrito as it has been my favorite item on the menu and the staff is always happy to recommend things on the menu. Thank you for being such a great establishment, I look forward to returning each and every time. read more

18$ for a carne asada burrito is crazy, I would understand if it was a fat burrito but it was standard size , the flavor was so acidic I could not enjoy the meat or other ingredients past all of the acid tasted more like vinegar . The Salsa on the side was a half full ramekin not even full to the top , no sides , radish . The server was very condescending, she clearly was not happy to be taking my order I was simply asking questions she would just point me to the menu with an eye roll. I would say find another place more authentic and friendly vibes , 18$ all in one burrito is steep that had better be the most banging burrito unfortunately it was very much lacking and not pleasant read more

The employee was so nice and helpful - she was patient as I worked on getting my order to $50 and made useful suggestions. The salsas are tasty and have good spice and the taquitos were nice and crispy and flavorful. So nice to have so many vegetarian options too! read more

Came here a few nights ago when craving a burrito and I'm so thankful for the affordability and quality of the food here. I also love that they have vegan options. It's a cute spot where you can order at the window and then pick it up minutes later, as they are always really quick to make the food. I got the soyrizo veggie burrito and loved the flavor and heartiness of the soyrizo and how it was spiced and seasoned. It definitely dominated the burrito but the veggies stood out in having their own seasonings and being cooked to perfection. The beans and rice were also very hearty and really mixed well with everything. I got an avocado salsa to add in and it really had a nice creamy buttery flavor to the burrito. I also really like how they included some chips, which were perfectly crispy. Everything tasted fresh and it seemed like a lot of care was taken in making the burrito. The service was very friendly and accommodating. There was plenty of outdoor seating when I arrived, but I opted to eat my meal in the comfort of my home. Parking was super easy in their lot, although since they are located on the busy street of Coldwater right by the 101 exit, I struggled to get out of the lot. I highly recommend this restaurant as a lovely Mexican joint with options for all dietary needs! read more

The food is ok, the prices are normal, but they charge $1.10 for a tiny salsa cup. They do not give salsa, radishes, jalapenos like almost every mexican place does. With so many taco spots scattered around the valley, there is no reason to try this place. read more

I came here with my dad when our power was out to grab some breakfast. I drive past Hugo's all the time and they've been in business for all my life so we decided to check it out. We came on a Wednesday and they have an all day Wednesday special of burritos being $9 or $10 but this seems like their normal burrito prices so I was a bit confused by the deal?? Parking is challenging; there is a way to access parking in the back if you go through the small side street before Coldwater and you can also park across the street on Coldwater for free 1 hour parking. There is limited outdoor seating available. Breakfast burrito (with pinto beans and pico de gallo) 3.5/5, ok so this would have been a 4 if I ordered a spicier sauce than pico de gallo. The burrito was freshly made and savory, I would get this again. read more

Friendly service & clean restaurant. Never noticed the indoor sitting area next to the order window. Ordered chicken tacos, brc, quesadillas and chicken burrito. The chicken was dry on both items.

Hugo's Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Studio City, California

Honestly for a place that's literal name includes tacos I'm sad that the tacos were mid. Ordered 4 chicken tacos w green salsa Ordered 4 chicken tacos w pico since apparently the red salsa is extremely hot Came with a small side of tortilla chips Ordered sour cream and rice and beans. The tacos were dry it hurt my soul. I guess my expectations of Mexican food is for it to be flavorful, juicy, and moist. Do not expect taqueria style tacos. They don't give the carrots and jalepenos or grilled onions on the side. Chicken was salty. The pico de gallo on the tacos was NOT IT. Maybe order something else, like the burrito. God I want to cry. I'm a certified big back stuck in a Pilates body so this made me sad inside. read more

In the land of tacos, this place is a real loser!! I ordered two tacos on taco Tuesday. The Carnitas were so dry and stringy that it was inedible, and the Carne Asada was incredibly hard to chew because the meat was so tough. Yuck read more

I have Celia disease and I'll let Hugo's Tacos know before I ordered and called in the delivery through UberEATS and they were so accommodating and knew exactly what celiac was asked if I had a wheat allergy or just celiac and I told them and I ordered my burrito and it was so delicious and I didn't get sick and I was so grateful for all of the knowledge that they had and that they've been trained to know what protocol is for the disease. Thank you for one of the burritos and churros I've had in probably five years since I got this disease. read more

Do you love tacos as much as I do? Then I highly recommend hitting up Hugo's for some yummy tacos. This taco stand is located on the south west corner of Cold Water Canyon & Riverside Drive. A few tables are outside and they have indoor seating to the right of the stand. Perfect for hanging with friends or doing some work. A stack of games ready to be played and a fresh water dispenser are also available. Hugo's Tacos are made with only the freshest organic ingredients. The guacamole and side of fries are a must:) *Taco Tuesday Specials *Gluten free and vegan options *Street parking read more

Was a waste of 20$. The food isnt bad but could i have spent my money somewhere else for soemthing better, without a doubt. Theres a lot of taco places this is Los Angeles, theres easily better places to find a good taco. read more

I had the potato taco with a soft shell and honey chipotle salsa-- my favorite part was definitely the salsa! It wasn't too spicy and tasted really good. The taco itself didn't feel exceptional but was enjoyable, I think if I went again I'd try one of the meat options as the potato may not have been the best filling to showcase their capabilities. Service was good, the staff was friendly and my order came out quickly! I was pleasantly surprised by the dining room. It had AC which was definitely appreciated over the summer, and the decorations were cool. And I was glad to see that they had games and books to borrow while dining at Hugo's Tacos! If I went again I would definitely enjoy borrowing one of their board games (I had my eye on Rummikub). Very cool establishment! read more

Hugo's Tacos - 3 Carne Asada Tacos w Salsa Ranchera - Mexican Near Me - Studio City, California

Always good service. Love their habanero chipotle salsa. And so happy they opened up a indoor sitting Area in addition to the patio

The service was ok but the guy in the register rude. And the other bad things it has a dining hall but no restroom for customers read more

We just left this place. Taco carne asada was tasteless so was the nachos. Very disappointing!

Service not very friendly I ordered 3 chicken tacos 1 hard 3 soft with salsa. Git home 1 of the soft tacos was really hard around the edges and never received any salsa. The chips were tasty. They do give a lot of chicken. I would suggest going to Vallarta for $15 I could have had rice and beans with my tacos . Wanted to try Hugo's and now I did but not impressed. read more

This little taco stand is conveniently located right off the 101 freeway. I usually come here on Tuesday's for their any taco $3 special, which is served all day. We ordered a trio of tacos. The flavors were so so but they weren't bad at all, and I particularly liked the salsa it comes with. The potato taco was ok, nothing special. The service is good and they added additional indoor seating with plenty of tables . The menu has a variety of popular Mexican food specialties, including daily specials. The cashier at the service counter was welcoming and friendly. I wouldn't recommend going out of your way to come here, but it's solid if you're in area and looking for a quick bite. read more

Got the nachos, can't complain, large portion for the price, smooth service (These are different from usual nachos due to the cheese being baked like a pizza) read more

Portions a victim of shrinkflation. Guac tasted and looked like it came out of a tub from US Foods.

Heading out of the San Fernando Valley and back to Burbank, my car starts to act up around Coldwater Canyon. I guess me AND my car are thinking about Hugo's for some awesome Mexican food. Two great Hugo secrets: (1) their parking lot is huge, it will hold 1000 cars, so go around, behind the restaurant, and rest your Lambo; and (2) after you order, there's a huge dining room behind the kitchen (super clean every time I go) with great A/C and games to play. Connect Four, anyone? Forget the to-go order next time -- grab a table and enjoy your hot food hot. The food is awesome here and reasonably priced, but I have a favorite. it's the breakfast quesadilla. Somehow the eggs inside are 10x fluffier than I can ever make it at home. Get it with some chips, rice and beans. No soda fountain, which is a bummer, but all the sodas you want in cans. An LA mainstay for good reason. I have never had a bad meal here! read more

This place is pretty mid I'll be honest. The tacos are decent definitely nothing special or standout in regards to the meat itself or any of the toppings. My main gripe I had though was that my burrito had barely any meat in it. The back half was literally all rice and some beans wtf. read more

I really like this location over the Atwater village location. The food is more carefully cooked and plated. Somehow the flavor is better too. I always get the grilled fish as a burrito or tacos because I rarely see this protein offered at other Mexican restaurants. Very good and I love to top them with their avocado salsa; so delish!!! Highly recommend this Hugo's tacos location. read more

they charge 17$ for a asada burrito and a side of cold chips, burrito didn't even have cheese in it. Overpriced and easily beat by street taco vendors. The service was OK. read more

This place is definitely a 5 star. Dont even want to bother myself checking why people would leave bad reviews. Have been coming here for years and this place never disappoints. If having hard time which sauce to chose from, i personally love the honey chipotle one read more

Now, I'm not a huge fan of this cuisine tho I know that makes absolutely no sense being in LA!!! However, if I had a favorite, this would be at the top of the list... anytime I have friends and family in town and they want to get their fix... I'll bring them here! Their honey chipotle tacos and house-made tortilla chips and pico de gallo are delic!!! You can change your pro Tien and they even have vegan options, which clicks my box for there being pretty much something on the menu for everyone! I normally order takeout but there is seating outdoors which gives you an 'eating outside at the park' type feel. The service is what you would expect from a local spot and they are pretty quick with getting orders out. read more

What happened to the once in the valley. The food is dry, bland and lacks flavor. The prices have gone up while the quality has gone WAY down. Staff is hot or miss, sometimes served up with a side of attitude. Can find better food, service and parking elsewhere. read more

As someone who loves supporting local businesses and restaurants. I was very excited to try this place. I ordered two Carne Asada burritos and nachos, which all unfortunately were inedible. They were so dry, no meat, the meat on the burrito was only fat and barely anything inside the burrito. The salsa didn't even taste like salsa sadly. The nachos were so dry there was nothing on them, I might as well of ordered a side of chips. I hope this place gets their act together! read more

I've been a regular customer at Hugo's Tacos, but my experience with a server named Karla left me very frustrated. I ordered a cheese tacos and it came out with cold cheese, salsa, and tortilla. When I explained that I prefer the cheese melted (as l've had here before), Karla immediately snapped back, "We do not do that here." When I mentioned I had been served this way previously, she repeated herself in an even sharper tone, then yanked the plate from in front of me to take it back. l understand everyone has bad days, but this was uncalled for and incredibly unprofessional. This is not the first time l've experienced this type of attitude with Karla, but this time it was so rude that it completely ruined the experience for me. Customers should never feel like an inconvenience when asking a simple question or making a reasonable request. read more

My carnitas burrito was 1/3 chopped raw onions. I ended up not eating it. I ordered "enchilada style" . I was asked what salsa I wanted and said Tomatillo. I received a burrito with no salsa inside, a small amount of tomatillo salsa drizzled on top and melted cheese. I was expecting red enchilada sauce on the outside. Disappointed . read more

Hugo's Tacos - Not a great photo but too many raw onions inside burrito. Wish I had taken a photo of outside of the faux Enchilada Style. - Mexican Near Me - Studio City, California

Worst taco I've had in my life dry chewy no flavor took two bites and threw it away every bite was disappointment

I never feel good writing bad reviews but this was just awful. The breakfast burrito has no flavor, very bland and they also charge an extra 6 dollars to add the meat in which there was barely any added. We should have known considering it was empty with no other customers. A 20 dollar burrito.....felt like we were being robbed. Should be ashamed to charger that much and serve something like that. read more

Ordered the Carne Asada tacos, they were so dry! The meat was also tough and the tacos just lacked flavor.

First-timer here...got the salsa burger and wasn't mad at it. Everything tasted really fresh and was clearly made to order. This quality is usually very hard to make a criticism, but a taco/burger stand that tastes really clean is just a little strange. My burger didn't have a ton of personality to it. It almost ate like a steak salad with buns. Again, not the worst thing in the world. I at least would prefer this to something that's been sitting out or lacked fresh ingredients. But the patty was a nice and meaty one, especially for being the lone patty in the burger. The salsa and secret sauce (think this was some sort of vinegarette) made a good deal of difference. And I'll be sure to ask for salt on the fries next time. Loved the fresh-outta-the-fryer temp, but the fried potatoes needed some salt. I'm not surprised plenty of people frequent this stand. The good outweighs the not-so-bad. The passable food elements just need a little more pizazz, and Hugo's is in there. Looking forward to trying the Torta Ahogada next time. read more
