    I'm a big Papi Tacos fan and love how its halal! Best halal Mexican by far now! This location has a big patio out in the back and the food tasted really fresh. I always get the OG plate and the chicken was more flavorful and the brisket was also delicious! I placed my order to go, the person said 5 minutes but got my order 15 minutes later, no big deal though since that's what i expected. I did come here at night and it did look pretty sketchy, and the music was super loud. Other than that, food wise it was great!

    A red storefront caught my eye. It turns out to be a Taco joint. No parking. Sidewalk eating stands and picnic tables in the back. Order and pick-up only. Spanish tunes blaring from the front outdoor speaker. I got the famous birria burrito with consommé. It's big and a handful. Expect to get messy and don't wear a white shirt. It'll stain. Is it worth the calories? Absolutely!

    I got 3 carne asada tacos from here. The meat is super flavorful, the salsa was really delicious as well. The young man who helped me out was kind. I would definitely come back!

    So I wanted to try something local around this area so I saw this place on yelp and gave it a shot. My partner and I got a dish a piece and both were good. I got a large quesadilla with Pollo Asado and Mexican rice. My partner tried the "OG Plate" with carne asada and everything was good. The consome was good as well.

    Great food in my lifetime hood. Took them over 4 years to reopen due to a fire that happened next door to the laundry mat that was previously there

    I'm outside waiting on my tacos.

    Wow this one (female) is working the window.,,,this must be family owned b cuz those working the outside walk-ups are ALWAYS so rude; just no disposition (s) of pleasantry. I didn't hear her tell me the ans when I asked about that chunky green sauce they put on the food & when I repeated my question she said, WHAT! with a fat attitude like I'm from her clique' & we have beef w/ea other....IJS I've worked in food service & that's not how u respond to ANYONE u don't hear. They need an old soul working the front window b cuz these kids are just that kids....hell, they make me not wanna' eat the food & their tacos are Good!!!!!

    I was looking for birria tacos in LA and this was the first one to pop up on my search. I went on Thursday at 2pm and there was no line, just a couple of people. I ordered the OG plate which comes with 1 taco, 1 quesataco, 1 mulita, 1 quesadilla, & 1 consome soup for 12.99! You have the choice between beef and chicken. I also got the birria tacos with a consome (free if you check-in on yelp)! I also got an order of churros original. The OG plate was very underwhelming, its a really good deal, but honestly I'd just stick with ordering a ton of the birria tacos. The birria tacos however, were SO juicy, flavorful, and dipped in the consome it was a match made in heaven. I think I could've had about 10 of them... thought about going back and ordering more. With the lime and the hot sauce, the tacos + soup was so perfect. The churros were a perfect way to finish off the meal, but wish I had gotten nutella or chocolate drizzled on it! It was still really good.

    FIY!! As my family and I been wanting some of these maxing tacos!! I finally came by as the phone number is not available to make orders. So, it looks like they had some kind of fire.. I really hope they are all doing well and hope to have them back!

    Was on a recent quest to try the infamous birria tacos of LA. Ordered the OG plate, plus an extra 3 birria tacos. OG plate consisted of a taco, quesataco, and quesadilla, but to be honest all tasted the same, just in different 'shapes'. A little underwhelming, though maybe our fault for ordering them all with birria. But would be nice to have a tad more variety and distinction among the three. Overall, these tacos are definitely something to be savored. So juicy after being stewed over many hours. When paired with the consome, you are indeed in for a burst of flavor!

    Too bad the churros are not made to order especially since it's in their name. I saw them just bag up some premade cold ones. :(

    I heard they got robbed last week. Are they still open? I want to support them!

    Yes

    Do they have online ordering or a portal to the same? Thanks

    Yes they "should" have on line ordering BUT it didn't work today when I tried placing my order.

    What do they use to color the tacos red? Is it beef flavor?

    It's spice (type of chile) - not spicy, it's just flavor. I am from Tampico, in Mexico and this color in our tacos is fairly common.

    Do they only have beef?

    They also have chicken.

After hearing the buzz for way too long, I finally made my way over -- and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. The menu is a carnivore's dream. We're talking carne asada, lengua, brisket, and a whole roster of meats that had me doing multiple laps before I could even commit to an order. Every bite was bold, juicy, and packed with that authentic flavor that's impossible to fake. And the prices? Completely reasonable. No sticker shock here -- just good tacos at a fair price, which is honestly rare these days. But here's the kicker: they're open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Midnight taco craving? Covered. Post-concert hunger? Handled. Living in Hawaii, I'm constantly reminded that late-night taco options are tragically limited back home -- and Avenue 26 is the standard I didn't know I needed to set. Will I be back? Absolutely, without question, 100% yes.

I was able to snag two tacos for $4.50 that tided me over until dinner time. Now: bring your car because there's no place to sit! I arrived on foot, so dined standing up. Quite a variety of means - I'm a "safe" eater and enjoyed pollo and asada. I loved the self-serve salsas; the green salsa was delish and had a good little kick to it. Happy to have found this spot, and want to come back! 2026: 32/100

For for first timers, I'd recommend ordering the Villa's Trio which is what I got. Those come with the Ranchera Asada quesotaco as well as the Papas con Chorizo and Black Bean con Pollo quesotacos which are a trio exclusive. All the tacos were meaty, flavorful, and crispy. You honestly don't even need the side sauces since the tacos are already flavorful on their own. Great quality. I also got the Watermelon Agua Fresca which was refreshing, tasty, and sweet. Goes well with the tacos. I also got the Jamaica Agua Fresca, but that one was a bit too tart for my liking. The line can get long, so I would prepare to wait for up to an hour on weekends. There's ample free parking at the grocery store lot nearby. For seating and tables, it's limited and competitive. You just have to get lucky if a spot clears up as soon as you get your food. I also like how the restaurant handles crowd control. They allow a couple of people at a time to go inside, order, and get their condiments. You wait outside until they call you for your food. I like that it didn't feel crowded while I was getting my condiments. I highly recommend this spot and I will definitely be coming back.

Having been to so many taco stands, I think what makes Tire Shop Taqueria really stand out are the right-off-the-grill charcoal-grilled meats, the freshly made tortillas literally in front of you as you are waiting on line, and the free guacamole that comes with each taco. The ordering process is like any other taco stand, though one difference is here the salsas/guacamole are all handled by the staff. If you'd like more of something, just ask them instead of reaching for the ladle yourself. There is a separate area though for grilled onions/peppers and radishes you can serve yourself. I got the asada, chorizo, cabeza, and al pastor, and they were all so good. The asada and chorizo are specifically grilled over charcoal, and that flavor really shines through. I loved how meaty and tender the cabeza was too, and the classic al pastor hit the spot. They have large communal tables setup, so it is a great friendly vibe to enjoy your meal I will say, the surrounding area is not the best in LA, especially given how the taco stand is only open at night. The parking lot is quite small, so I parked on a side street that had some abandoned cars, but of course, if you are in/from LA, this is not that new for us. I would hesitate if I am a tourist though to make it out here. Anyhow, the food really is worth it here, and I can't wait to be back!

We only got the carne asada and the al pastor but it was so good we went back in line for seconds. The meat was very flavorful - the carne asada was thin but still very tender. The al pastor, I think uses a fattier cut than some other places but keeps it from drying out. The tacos were leaking meat juices still. The surrounding streets are quite dark at night but the parking lot the stand is in, is well lit and there is a covered seating area. We went on Thanksgiving weekend and there were maybe always 15-20 ppl in line at any given time. I imagine there are longer lines in the summer.

We've been to the downtown location before and the menu was a little different from what I remember. Hard to find parking sometimes. Only counter seating inside with about six tables outside. Wanted to snack on chips while we waited and there are only two sizes: small which is a bag you would put a sandwich and chips in like when you were a kid taking lunch to school, and a large which was a big bag that you would buy like a part size Doritos with the labels and all. Note to the non-spicy fam: the green salsa is mild with a little heat but the red is definitely spicy so watch out. They don't have pico de gallo. We had an asada burrito which was surprisingly packed and even had guacamole in it. Appropriately sized for lunch so not some monstrosity but it's good and flavorful. We also got an asada quesadilla. It's ok but the cheese is just melted and everything was kind of "wet" still and hard to eat because it just falls apart. Also had an asada taco. Yeah it's good but can't really describe if it was much better than a taco truck. No fountain drinks but got a Jamaica agua Fresca and really felt it was too sweet. Probably just go with a Mexican coke or canned soda next time. Sonoratown is good and worth a trip back as well. They won't compete against taco trucks but sometimes it's nice to just sit down and relax with good food.
