I got the horchata and tasted pretty standard. Great place to take someone to try out LA tacos.

I'm picky, but Ave 26 delivers every single time. It's super affordable, open 24/7, and there's always plenty of parking, which is a huge win in LA. Plus, it's honestly one of the best spots in town for people-watching while you eat. Let's talk favorites. My absolute must-order is their al pastor burrito with everything. It comes loaded with tons of smoking hot, perfectly seasoned al pastor meat, melted cheese, and incredible flavor. To top it off, they have a solid lineup of tasty salsas and spicy condiments to customize every bite just how you like it. Whether you're wrapping up a late night out or looking for the perfect spot to celebrate after a Dodgers game, Ave 26 has got you covered. Get out there after the win and grab a burrito -- you'll thank me later.

Service is friendly and quick, we didn't wait too long before getting our order. I opted for the slim thick burger and fries which were classically delicious! I usually like my burger with lettuce or some type of veggie, but I was really surprised at how good the burger can be on its own! The sesame bun was my favorite part, it definitely helped tie all the flavors together nicely. Fries were also crisp to perfection and self-serve ketchup is available.

We came to Farhod's on a Friday night when we visited this street which is full of halal food…read morecarts. I'd say around 80% of them are offering some sort of kabob, looking mostly to be from central Asian carts. We ended up picking Farhod's because it was the most crowded and we figured that might make our food the freshest. We were able to order on a tablet, which made things easier. All being on a sidewalk definitely makes things super crowded. It's a bit hard to find seating and it's kind of chaotic - power even shut down completely right after we ordered. They were able to get the power back on with the generator, but it took what felt like forever to get our food. Seems like they serve their food somewhat like a halal cart rather than a typical Persian restaurant - salad, white sauce, red sauce, etc. We got the steak kabob plate, koobideh sandwich, and beef wrap. We enjoyed pretty much every form factor. They grill their tortillas and bread on the grill before assembling, so everything has that charcoal taste top to bottom. Salad was surprisingly cold/crunchy for a stand that had been sitting in warm weather for hours. Steak on the plate was slightly chewy but tasted fresh and had great flavor. I recommend loading up on the white sauce, red sauce has good flavor too and isn't super spicy. Also liked the self service radishes, grilled jalapeños, and lemons. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal, aside from the long wait and some slightly questionable food handling practices. Prices are not as low as you'd expect for a street cart, but the food was good and portions were large.

Online ordering was not working when I tried, so had to go there to place the order and wait.

I decided to give it a try, and the first bite of that heavenly bacon wrapped hot dog completely changed my life and saved me from my weary state! The flavors were out of this world and are something I will never forget. Tasting the hot dog lady's late night bacon wrapped hot dogs in Echo Park brought me back to that moment decades ago.

We also got the spicy beef noodles (be aware that it comes with a lot of liver so if you're not a fan of that, I would pass). This was probably my least favorite.
