    a tacos tortas burrito shop
    Pancho V.

    So, Rambo's which had been here for several decades packed it up and closed down they will concentrate on the brick an mortar location in La Puente. Some other reviews have said these are the same guys "workers" who worked that truck, NOT owners. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/rulas-tacos-los-angeles?select=XT1DNNcVhldNDTjSJ9z49w https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/rulas-tacos-los-angeles?select=bLN0RQvim1G9jfWb9MDmFA My opinion the best thing this truck has going for it is the Salsa Roja, if you like it spicy this is the spot. Tacos ($1.25) https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/rulas-tacos-los-angeles?select=YI7nfCynPhzHzPxSAAMPCw Tortillas were decent, out of a bag but fresh, it seemed like them skimp on the meat portions. Asada - https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/rulas-tacos-los-angeles?select=5goulUjZLfWqyiP36rd2RQ Meat looks anemic and grey, not a lot of grill time or flavor. 2-Stars Al Pastor - https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/rulas-tacos-los-angeles?select=GbR4iJJLDJr8-XUCjMImxw Doesn't appear to be any trompo here, really lacked much flavor, just Ok but nice salsa roja. 3-Stars Carnitas - https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/rulas-tacos-los-angeles?select=Ljs38FWaqJmukJRocdcFYg Finally a taco worth eating, lean and flavorful, moist no crispy bits though. 4-Stars Lengua - https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/rulas-tacos-los-angeles?select=9pptS3plgt01cVvS7Ze4qA Lean, tender and flavorful, another good taco and nice salsa verde. 4-Stars

    Tripa and Al pastor burrito.

    Raul is back after a 9 month layoff! The truck has the same meats and chile sauce as Rambo's but a lot tastier. Also might have been the fact that we missed the great taste of the al pastor and tripas! Added bonus...Raul now takes Zelle, so go get your taco, quesadilla, torta and burrito fix posthaste.

    Rambos is back with a new name rulas tacos.. same cooks welcome back guys same great taste bomb burrito and tacos

    My friends and I recently did an LA taco tour, visiting various storefronts to find our favorite…read morespot. Sonoratown was our first stop as it was highly recommended by my boyfriend's brother, and it did not disappoint. It immediately earned a spot in our top five favorite taco spots for carne asada in all of Southern California! The location that we went to is located in between Elysium DTLA and Perfumeria Starlux on E 8th St in downtown LA. There is only paid(?) street parking around the area that could be extremely difficult to find during work days. Because we couldn't snag a spot, my friends and I opted for takeout and didn't end up eating until about 30 minutes later. Despite the travel time, the tacos were still absolutely incredible--I can only imagine how spectacular it tastes fresh! My friends and I ordered the carne asada tacos, and my boyfriend opted for the cabeza. Before I even took a full bite, I tasted a piece of the loose carne asada and was blown away; it was perfectly cooked with a wonderful tenderness and deep smokiness. The use of a single, thin, handmade flour tortilla--rather than the standard double corn--was a total game-changer and exactly how I preferred my tacos. The salsas were equally impressive, offering fantastic flavor and a great kick. My boyfriend's cabeza taco was just as standout, featuring super-tender meat with a rich, savory profile. Wowowow! Between the exceptional meat quality, bold flavors, and great value, this is easily one of the best taco spots I've visited. It's a huge bummer that they don't have a location down in San Diego, but we will definitely be back!

    Came on a Saturday around 12 pm. Line wasn't too bad and the employees were friendly and helpful…read more There are a few seats both inside and outside, but parking is tough. Mostly crowded streets with metered parking. I got the chicken burrito. The tortilla was definitely the highlight and what really makes the burrito. Fresh, flavorful, and great texture. The filling itself tasted more like a standard burrito otherwise. Also tried the avocado sauce, which costs extra but was really good and worth adding. Overall solid spot. I'd come back to try the beef burrito and the chivichanga next time.

This spot is amazing and may have the best street tacos…read moreI've ever tried (and that says a lot because LA has so many good Mexican food options). I ordered the carne asada tacos and the brisket tacos and both were soooo delicious! They have a self serve toppings and salsa bar, so you can customize your tacos to what you liked. I'm a big fan of spicy foods and my tolerance to spice is pretty high, but the red salsa has a kick to it--so be warned. This spot is super casual but has a very large setup. Service here is very efficient and they are open 24/7 so there's no limit as to when you can get your taco fix. There's plenty of parking which gets extra points in my book, especially because that's typically hard to find in the area. There aren't any tables to eat at, but a lot of people ate standing or by their parked cars. If I could give this spot more than 5-stars I would. If you come here, trust me, you won't be disappointed.

    My friends have taken me here and every time it hits the spot. It's located in a parking lot and…read moremost of the time there is some parking available. It is a 24 hour spot so anytime I'm enjoying a night out I need a quick snack or a meal, I stop by here. Their lines go pretty quickly if you're visiting during meal times, but they have their whole set up to be as efficient as possible. When ordering, you'll go up and order your items I always get tacos, but I've heard the other items are delicious as well. You get one free potato per person and I highly recommend grabbing one. Once you grab your potato, you'll head over to the cashier while you'll pay for your items. If you want any drinks, you can order it as well. Once you're finished paying, they have a salsa bar with onions and cilantro and limes. My usual is their Al pastor tacos! It's a tried and true method for me. Note that there isn't any seating, most people stand up and eat or head back to their car and eat on their trunks or inside their car. There's trash cans all around and I believe there are some porta potties. It's a great spot to hit up if you're hungry and need some tacos in your life. Make sure you clean up after yourself. This is a great spot!

Just three blocks and youre in a parking lot mini mall, and there it is on the corner.

This spot is very unique, and the first time I've had fresh blue corn tortilla tacos. I chose one regular carne asada and two queso of the same. My wife got one chorizo and one nopal.

I came here for dinner on a week night and my experience here was pretty good. I had the asada and al pastor tacos with all the toppings and they were both so good and full of meat and heat. The toppings can be spicy for some, so be warned. My favorite of the two was the all pastor which was flavorful and I did like the thinly shaved meat. It was not dry at all and was fresh. I also tried the mulita with al pastor meat and that was also soso good. Cheesy, meaty, and indulgent. The additional topping section had good variety with pickled onions, cucumbers, etc. and everything seemed pretty fresh. Unfortunately, they were pretty much out of the roasted pepper and grilled onions at the time I went. To drink, I had the horchata and that was also very delicious. It was huge, sweet, and creamy. I also loved how it was not grainy at all. A good pairing with the rich foods. They also have a good amount of seating at the stand with a long table and multiple chairs. Parking is tricky since its street parking only.

Sparkling lemonade in a jar - great!! Fresh and light and not too sweet. Overall, worth the hype. I was worried it had been so built up in my mind it wouldn't be worth the line and everything but it was great and would come back (and will!!) It's in a food court-type setting so you aren't getting a quiet, service oriented experience. But if you know that going in, you'll be fine. Don't stress about not finding a table.

These were truly the epitome of street tacos and absolutely nothing about the vibe, the service, and the FOOD, disappointed. Immediately upon arrival, I noticed the long line of people and said to myself, either this place is really good or really slow. It took me longer to decide what I wanted to try than what it took for the line to move and for it to be my turn to order. So yea, these folks are FAST and very courteous as well. They have real Al Pastor on the trompo (the spit) so of course I ordered pastor tacos and a pastor mulita. I also ordered a few SUADERO tacos which you don't find just anywhere. I am still raving about the amount of meat and flavor of the food here, it's insanely delicious. Once you get your food you make your way down to the end of the taco stand where you are met with an amazing array of fresh taco fixings and salsas.

I do like how they grill their meat though and they use the tortillas to scoop up the meat on the grill. Thought the al pastor was a bit salty and the cheese did not add much flavor to it, but that's probably a good thing considering the saltiness of the meat. Also, make sure you ask them for pineapples since they did not include it until we asked. They do have them sliced up in a container by the meats. Ambience is very casual and it's a stand while eating type of situation. Service was quick.
