I live so close to this delicious restaurant, and I finally got the chance to check it out. This is a very family friendly restaurant. I came on a Friday night, and the entire patio was filled with families. I also made it right on time before "social hour" ended. The discounted beverages were great during social hour. The food and drinks came out so fast. They have many kinds of tacos, which include some unique flavors like bahn mi, tikka masala, ribeye bulgogi, etc. I tried the fish, shrimp, and carne asada tacos which were all delicious. I think the best out of the 3 would be the shrimp. My friend really enjoyed the Bahn mi taco. I would definitely love to come back and try all their other tacos! Parking was not too difficult. It is recommended to park in the residential areas and just walk.

First time here. I live 5 mins away but haven't tried it. Good I did today. Food was yummm! Service was definitely great - the gentleman behind the cash register was nice and patient and allowed me to make changes as I ordered. Food came out and it was almost instantly devoured. Will be back :)

Cute little spot in Eagle Rock! Parking is tough so go early to find a spot! I love the idea of tacos with a variety of flavors, etc but some were a bit too salty.... Service was great. Prices not bad. May or may not go back. Seemed a little greasy in there. We sat on picnic tables! It's casual. Fun for kids.

Came here for Cinco de Mayo, place was popping with a great atmosphere. The place has three areas, the front where the bar is, a back area with benches and a pack patio. You can literally find your vibe. Staff was great and helpful. I got the Seoul, Tempura cauliflower and wagyu tacos. All three really good with a strong preference toward the tempura cauliflower.

Sadly, I didn't have the best experience. When I walked in , I wasn't greeted or given any customer service on where to sit so I just grabbed a seat at the bar. Bartender's energy was flat, seemed like he didn't like to work there. He didn't offer any information on the menu so we ordered one of every taco to really get an idea. The tacos came out at a good time but they were extremely greasy, lack of flavor, and overall very flat , especially for the price. Spent over $100 on the food and had one margarita on tap (also very flat in flavor) . We Stayed to watch the game for a while but the ambiance was very loud intoxicated older gentleman. I wasn't impressed, probably won't come back. Quick update: The manager did reach out and offer a token of his apologies. I do appreciate that the feedback was taken politely and was made right. Therefore I added a star.

Doesn't have to be Tuesday for tacos! Been wanting to come here for the longest time. Was excited to see such a wide variety of tacos. Didn't realize that they were all made on homemade flour tortillas, which I love! Each of their tacos are unique, seasoned well and delicious! We ordered the wagyu smash burger, Thai chili shrimp and the Banh-mi tacos, each taco tasted exactly what they were! I loved the Thai chili shrimp taco and would definitely come back just for that one! They offered two salsas, one red and one habanero, personally I did not like either one, honestly, these tacos do not need additional salsa. They do not have a typical taco condiment area, as the tacos stand on their own, no additional condiments needed. These are not your typical street tacos, so don't expect that, trust me, you will be pleasantly surprised! Looking forward to coming back and trying other items on their menu! Great customer service! Street parking.

Came here for a catered event (was in the back patio and the event was catered by Taco Social themselves). The Ribeye Bulgogi and Baja Shrimp tacos were two of my favorites. We also had the Carne Asada and the Mexi-Cali ones. Service was fast and efficient, staff was friendly and responsive at all times, and the ambiance was great. Excellent setup in the back patio with great natural light. Highly recommended spot. 10/10

I was in California visiting family, and my parents kept raving about this spot in Eagle rock. They said it had "healthy tacos" which my dad could not get over. So of course, it was on my list the minute I got to town. We went one night and it was packed. Parking wasn't great but once we got inside everything move smoothly. We ordered a mix of tacos and every single one was delicious. My parents go here at least twice a week and now I understand why. The food was flavorful. The service was friendly, and the whole place had a really fun, relaxed vibe. Everyone around us look like they were enjoying themselves just as much. When I'm back in California, I'll definitely return. I've reached out and recommended it to friends who live in the area to check this place out.

Quite a bounty of tacos!
Ralph B.

Incredible tacos only made possible by the miracle of fresh, flour tortillas. They have the classics as well as an array of innovative tacos not seen anywhere else. These include chicken tikka masala , lettuce wrapped poké, French onion, falafel a many others including seasonal selections. Really astoundingly good tacos. They also have sides, bowls and desserts. An excellent spot!

Lisa F.

Such a cute place! I really love all the menu options. Walk up counter service or you can sit and order at the bar. Happy Hour is available. Plenty of spots to sit and dine in! Perfect for friends and family gatherings.

Came here with the family and thoroughly enjoyed it. Service was great. Staff were super helpful and nice. I enjoyed all the food and the drinks. Ready to go back and get more.

I really appreciate how they live up to their name--"Taco Social" truly delivers on the social experience. Our large group had such a great time. The atmosphere was fun, laid-back, and still offered a sense of privacy. The spacious covered extension out back provided us the perfect spot to relax, chat, and enjoy amazing food and drinks. Their tacos are a highlight--creative, unique, and packed with bold flavors. They also offer a wide variety of snacks and meals to suit any craving or appetite. Both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks deserve a shoutout too. Thanks for giving us such a memorable night!

Val F.

Cool spot! Especially on a nice sunny day! The tacos are not authentic but I think that's the point, tacos are so yummy, and two tacos is all I need. The price point is great! My fav is the Nashville cod and the pork belly! (The pork belly could use some salsa it's on the hefty side and was a little dry because of the beans that's inside of it I think but it definitely has lots of flavor! The bar has great tequila choices & like a tap on draft set up! Really cool place to just grab something light have a drink & vibe. If you get more than 3 tacos you're a beast because they're huge! S/O to Max for holding the bar down! I think him and one other guy was working the restaurant and they did great! Clean & places to sit inside & outside! definitely recommend

I've been going to them more and more, and The Lucky Tiki was one I definitely had to try out. First off, I have to praise 1933 group because I have loved every single bar they have revitalized and this one is no different. In keeping with their MO, The Lucky Tiki is a speakeasy with a vintage vibe. I won't give away how to get in but let's just say, it's near the front of Highland Park Bowl. My husband and I didn't have a reservation, but we were able to put our name in and got seated about an hour or so later. I was amazed as soon as I walked in the door! It's just floor to ceiling decorated with everything tiki. So many fun details and even interactive elements that turn on when a particular drink was ordered. That was probably my favorite part honestly. We ordered the Tiki Diablo, which is a large tiki drink with a flaming volcano. And yes it does have an interactive element. It was really good. Very fruity and strong, but not overly so. Service was excellent. Our waitress was on it and even waited to make sure my husband was back from the bathroom before lighting our drink on fire. We didn't try any food this time, but a lot of people were ordering the Hawaiian pizza. Do with that what you may. Will definitely be back ti try more drinks and food. Was the perfect spot for a lively date night!

FYI this place requires reservations, yet they apparently do not honor reservations…read more I have friends coming into town from Greece, so I made a reservation because they love tiki but have no way of experiencing it in Greece, and so they even got aloha shirts to wear. So after having a reservation for weeks, I get a text from this place saying someone booked a private event so my reservation is cancelled. How about instead of accepting $$$ for a private event that will deny customers their reservation, they make the private event work around what is available? Terrible way of doing business, but I hope they get lots of $$$ and engagement for the privileged private event attendees.

My husband and I recently tried their grilled cheese and tomato soup combo, too, which we really enjoyed. Very filling. Their cocktail program has some unique flavors, which isn't always my thing. But everything I've had has been outstanding, even their mocktails. I really liked one of the new ones I had recently, which was called something like Grandma's House? I can't remember, but it was spiced and had a star anise as garnish. A bit on the pricier side, but probably because they use premium ingredients and such unique flavors combos. Love the neighborhood bar vibe. It's a welcoming little oasis in the urban jungle of Highland Park.

I tried the Goldliner, Japanese Old Fashioned and Nitro Espresso Martini and they were all delicious and well balanced. The bartenders are all really cool and service was pretty quick. The disco ball in the lounge area, the wall of vinyl and old photos of iconic artists give retro vibes. My friend DJ'd the night I stopped in and played nothing but 45s of classics for 3 hours.

The space itself strikes a really nice balance: open window areas that let in natural light, paired with a dark wooden interior that gives it a classy yet modern vibe. I could easily see this being a great spot for a date night thanks to the ambiance and the solid variety of food and drinks. I tried the "Anonymous Email" mocktail, and honestly, we couldn't even tell if it was a cocktail or not--it was that well crafted. Definitely a highlight drink if you don't want alcohol early in the day. Food-wise, the whipped feta was a standout and paired perfectly with the fresh, warm za'atar pita. The Brussels sprouts had a great crunch on the outside, though they were a bit too saucy for my taste--but still enjoyable overall. The glazed pork belly was delicious and leaned more Asian than Mediterranean, which added to the restaurant's fusion feel. The chicken schnitzel sandwich was another win: soft, warm bun (likely brioche), crispy chicken, and a flavor profile that starts sweet and savory, then finishes with a subtle spicy kick from the spiced honey. Overall, I really enjoyed the experience and would absolutely come back. If you're not into fusion cuisine, this might not be your spot--but if you're open to a Mediterranean-inspired menu with creative twists, great vibes, and well-made drinks, I'd definitely recommend it.

I really had no intention of coming back but decided to give it a chance. Even though I didn't plan it, turns out it was a year to the day of my last visit. The place has been remodeled. It no longer emits the cozy neighborhood dive vibes. Instead, it's a hipster lo-fi bar with a sleek chic décor. As pretty as it is, it doesn't have that warm, welcoming feel. Everything is neat & pristine. There is a DJ booth, and the old jukebox remains. The selection of music pumping through the speakers was enjoyable but the playlist wasn't from the jukebox. A few of the cocktails are on draft. I prefer mine made to order. However, the drink prices were reasonable. I ordered a Hendrick's & Soda. Cañada, the bartender, was friendly and engaging.

Shortly after ordering multiple drinks and several plates of food, another staff member came to our table and began yelling at us, threatening to kick us out for being "rude" to staff, even though we had done nothing but order our food and drinks. What made it even more uncomfortable was watching other guests openly smoking weed while staff said nothing, yet our group felt watched, accused, and singled out the entire time. As the only Latino group sitting outside, the experience left us feeling unwelcome, uncomfortable, and discriminated against. As a fellow restaurant owner, I understand hospitality and house policies, which is why this treatment was especially disappointing. What should have been a fun birthday celebration turned into a terrible experience, and we ended up leaving early.
