First time for parking lot tacos for me!…read more I was feeling a bit peckish but didn't want to eat too much, so Yelpers, thank you for leading me here! 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

Amazing tacos. Absolutely delicious. The taco chefs gave great recommendations too. All the flavors…read morewere on point. My favorite was the brisket. It was so tender and juicy! On another note, I'd skip the pork though...I found it a bit dry. The parking lot is huge and there's security all over, so despite it being in a "sketch" part of downtown, it still feels relatively safe. Also, they accept credit card. There's no toilets or tables though, so you have to eat standing or in your car. *Hot take, I think this place is better than the famous Tacos el Gordo in San Diego.

I'm actually not a huge fan of chocolate, but when I tell you that warm milk chocolate combined the pistachio cream, crispy kataifi & fresh strawberries made an absolute perfect combination. Everything tasted so phenomenal together, definitely worth the price of 15$ especially when I see it being sold for 20+ else where. The man who operates this business is very chill & prepares everything quickly. I'm a returning customer now because this is officially 1 of my favorite sweet treats in DTLA!

The pistachio and crispy kataifi are crumbled and mixed in and they add freshly cut strawberries to bring another level of flavor and burst.

My 1st time here and honestly was hoping to see a good varieties of Thai street food but there were…read moreonly 4-5 food stands with a few Thai snacks, Thai salads and 1 stand that had standard Thai lunch/dinner menu from which I ordered Chicken Pad See Ew, Thai Shrimp Fried Rice and a Chicken thigh Skewer from another one.All of the food tasted very good & fresh and people were very friendly but I'm giving this place 3 stars because of the small number of food stands & lack of Thai food varieties.

It was a lot smaller than in the pictures. We gave it a chance anyway! We did drive an hour to get…read morethere... Got something from almost every table there and it was perfect. It wasn't too many choices and the meat skewers were cooked to perfection. A friend that was with me said that the skewers were better at this market than at the larger Thai markets because they aren't trying to churn out a huge number. Here they take care in making sure the meat is still tender and juicy. All the food reminded me of my childhood. So delicious. I made the mistake of getting a papaya salad with "medium" spice. Thai medium spice levels are very hot for the normal palette. So that was my bad. I ate it all anyway. Did I cry a little? Sure. Was my stomach messed up after? Yeah. Was it worth it? I'd get mild next time. The other friend I was with who straight up eats habanero peppers said it was spicy. When in the area I'll be back!

At an unassuming end of an Echo Park parking lot are a pair of massive parasols providing temporary…read morerespite from the blaze of the sun; under its shade is a solitary figure pouring over the heat of a sizzling steel plate, sandwiched between two great flames in a solitary act of creation. The place is Alejandra's, and the creation is some of the best quesadillas you can get in LA. Coming up to the stand, you eye the menu and make your order, $8 dollars each or $10 for a dual topping type. There is potentially a bit of a wait due to every meal being freshly made on order, but it is a good and worthwhile wait, the staff, clientele, and food being most hospitable. At your order, purple dough is flattened to a blue corn tortilla, each tortilla freshly pressed and grilled in front of you. You watch it sizzle and rise brown, flip over, and continue its cycle to grow crisp. Topping highlights for me include squash blossoms and pork, which is chicharrones with a surprising crisp and crunch better than almost any other I've had, the ring of each bite echoing autumn leaves crunching under my feet, its condensed jerky flavour hemorrhaging in the still present sweetness of a meat once juicy. The stand provides a salsa bar with red and green sauces available, and other vegatative essentials- onion, cilantro, and pepper- serve as a lush and fresh forestry for the surprisingly substantial spice of the salsa to lick upon; piled upon the mountain of food and flavour, the green and red splatters evoked the Hollywood Hills, the red salsa smokey and particularly burning like the fires of last year. It's an addicting taste well worth the visit and short walk to sit and enjoy the meal in Echo Park. I'm excited to come back and try more ingredients for sure, very likely two or three quesadillas at a time to help expedite the process, as it can't be helped. 6.4/10

He'd say he's a horse, then point to a dog or something and tell that over anxious chicken hawk, "there's a chicken son!". I ran into old Foghorn Leghorn at the Larchmont Farmer's Market.

KTown Night Market is the first night market I have been to in a while, and It did NOT disappoint…read more And after reading the older Yelp reviews for this event (done pre-pandemic), I thought it time to update! Located at RFK High School in Koreatown LA, this location was central and provided lots of space for food stands, food trucks, games, merch stands, drink stands, music stage, you name it. They even had a (huge) sneaker expo stand! I did not see any performers on the music stage, but they posted some content online and it looks like they killed it! Minzy from 2NE1 headlined the first night. I did not have a chance to see everything as I was with a group of people (takes longer to do virtually everything), but there was so much to see! The food I did try: Xing Fu Tang strawberry boba, yakitori yado mochi chicken skewer, kimchi rice ball, pork belly rice ball, thai basil chicken. Everything was good. It was busy! Get there early as by 7:30pm or so it was wall to wall people (some wearing masks, some not as they were recommended only). Had a great time - they have rebooted this event so well!

Good night market event. Best part is the performing stage. Like a mini concert. Closer to closing…read moretime, the bigger the artist. They have lots of food vendors, not all the same as the typical 626 night market vendors tho. Venue is placed inside a highschool. The vendors are on race track, basketball courts, and good ol' lawn. This year (first opening after pandemic) they have less vendors than before. But place is jammed packed the later it gets. They have big seating area and nice spots in corners for you to sit on the floor tho. Ticket is $10 (plus service fee if you buy online). Parking structure is $18. You will have to walk, since it's in the middle of city.

The only downside is that he now opens at 12 midnight instead of 11 PM, which can be a little inconvenient if you're craving it earlier. Prices also went up to $5 for a stick or a plate, which I noticed but honestly? Still worth it. The quality is there, the taste is there, and when I'm craving corn, this is still the spot. I'll definitely keep coming back because I love my corn and this man does it right.
