Located right on Venice Blvd
Carmen R.

I just quickly stopped Tacos El Junior before a hair appointment down the street and it was the perfect last minute find I was starving so ordered 3 tacos (Al pastor, carne asada and carnitas) and they were delicious! Traditional small street tacos and they came with a side of chips, salsa and some pickled vegetables Their menu has a pretty robust selection and some meat options, like buche, I don't always see offered by trucks I highly recommend these guys! The food was excellent and much more affordable than other trucks in the area. Thanks for a great meal team! I'll be back!

I ordered 3 steak tacos and was not disappointed. Great food, great price-point, and great service (:

I mean look at the packaging & the effort put into plating the food!!!
Jontel G.

I don't EVER really leave reviews but this Man's food is so GOOD I HAD to! I'm a LA Native so good tasting authentic tacos are SO IMPORTANT to Me. 4 Asada Tacos with Cheese & a drink was $12. SO Affordable with the amount of food He gives You! But the effort He puts in the plating & packaging is AMAZING! I never have to ask for ANYTHING EVER! The extra sides & chips with no extra charge is God's work! AND Giving Me 2 types of Salsas to choose from?!? Like cmon not a lot of places do that & it's so appreciated & recognized. ALSO I don't ever really eat the pickled veggies BUT This Man has converted Me...LOL! SO YUMMY! The Owner is also SO Welcoming & Super Nice & Me being a Black Woman in Today's times, that means A LOT! His food has SOOOOO much flavor too! I hope & Pray His lines go around the corner one day. He deserves it. Mind You I have been here to order several times already & He NEVER disappoints. LOVE the consistency! Service is QUICK too even when He's SUPER Busy. I ALWAYS leave EXTREMELY Happy! I didn't take no pics of the outside but He's a cute Taco Truck on Venice Blvd near the parking lot with the Dental Office & O'Reily's Auto Shop. He has a few cute sitting eating areas outside of the Truck along side the wall on the sidewalk where Pedestrians are still able to pass by with ease. Maybe I will take a photo when I go back & update this review.

I like the fack that they are rated "A"
Fernando P.

The food portions were generous, the staff member was very kind and polite, and the prices were reasonable. I had a wonderful experience and will definitely return. The truck's "A" rating was also a significant plus.

Tacos de asada, al pastor y buche
Adriana M.

Stopped here for a quick lunch. Got one asada taco, an al pastor taco, and a buche taco. The food took a little longer than expected, but I noticed that it was only one guy manning the truck all by himself, so I didn't mind the wait. There is seating set up nearby if you aren't taking your food to go. Tacos came with a chile Serrano, plenty of pickles (the carrot coins were delicious), radish, cucumber, and even some tortilla chips. As for the tacos themselves: the asada was phenomenal! So tender and flavorful, no gristly pieces. Next time I will for sure be getting an asada burrito. The pastor was solid, as was the buche. But the asada was definitely the star! I didn't see carnitas on the menu, which is what I usually order. Washed it all down with my Jarritos and left with a happy, full stomach. Would stop here again for asada and good vibes.

4++ a small little truck/trailer that sets up in the heart of Mar Vista. Call a pretty extensive menu and a good variety of meats. There's also a few outdoor tables set up nearby so you can sit and eat. The food here is really good and the folks that you are ordering from our super nice and very helpful. I ordered a suadero mulita, birria tacos, and a vampiro. I think my eyes were bigger than my stomach, and I was pretty excited which led me to order probably too much food. When I finally got the plate, I was super excited. The presentation was great with all the extras like the pickled carrots and peppers along with the limes, etc. I always have a habit of ordering a Mexican Coke whenever I go to taco trucks as well. I seriously don't really drink soda except for the times I get tacos. I probably was only able to eat a third of it before I needed some wrap to take it to go. Part of the reason I chose this place because I was walking a dog and I wanted something where I can order easily and sit outside. This place was perfect. These are the type of places I love supporting because the folks are so great and the food was really good .

So good and they hook up your plate with all the goodies, veggies, two salsas and chips! We got our order to go, they were quick and they wrapped it up so perfectly. Ordered the birria, asada, pollo, and carnita tacos and they're all so good! Will be coming back very soon my new taco spot

I expect a $3 XL taco to be more, but it's the same size and ingredients as a regular one. There is nothing extra on mine. It's a rip off. The worse offense is waiting almost 20 minutes for my 2 tacos. I should have left when I notice it's not the El Primo truck.

Taco truck!
Jacob G.

MUST TRY TACO TRUCK! ‼Simply the best! Best deal in all of Los Angeles! For $2.50 you get an asada taco with chips, salsa, radish, pickled vegetables! Crazy deals! My favorite meal in LA!

I've been coming here for years, back when it was still called Avenue 26 Tacos! This has always…read morebeen one of my go-to spots for late night tacos, especially after getting off work. One thing I like about this place is how fresh the tacos are. They're constantly grilling the meat right in front of you, so everything comes out hot and freshly made. I usually order the chicken or carne asada tacos, but I prefer the chicken. It's always been my favorite. Each plate also comes with a potato, which is a nice little bonus. Just keep in mind that they only give you one potato per plate, regardless of how many tacos you order. So if you want two potatoes, you'll need to ask for separate plates. They also have a self-serve toppings bar where you can load up on onions, radishes, sauces, and other toppings however you like. I love being able to customize my tacos. Prices are pretty affordable, around $2.25 per taco from what I remember. Paying cash is slightly cheaper than using a card, so I'd recommend bringing cash if you're planning to stop by. They also sell horchata at another stand nearby, and there's a separate burrito stand, although I usually see more people going for the tacos. Overall, it's a solid late-night taco spot with freshly grilled meat, affordable prices, and plenty of toppings. I've been coming back for years, and the chicken tacos are still my favorite!

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.

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.

I love the Cabeza tortilla and 3 is the perfect number of tacos for me as they are pretty generous with the meat and avocado sauce. Been here twice and both times because we were going to a show at the Forum which is just a short drive away. It gets pretty busy around dinner time so expect a long wait as the line moves pretty slowly (everything is made/ cooked fresh!)... but the wait is 100% worth it. Just make sure you order enough the first time so you dont have to wait in line again. There is some parking but it gets pretty crowded too so you might have to street park (and the area around can get a little sketch) so be careful. The second time we came here was almost 1130pm right before their midnight closing. This time, the parking lot was emptier so we managed to park inside. There was still a pretty steady stream of customers even around closing, but at least the line isn't ridiculously long. Can't go wrong with anything you order here!

Huge plus that they were making their tortillas from scratch on the spot but the tacos were really small. I should've order six tacos instead of four. The carne asada with the guacamole and cilantro were an amazing touch. I accidentally got the salsa in it and it was pretty spicy. Cabeza wasn't my favorite meat cut too. I then ordered an horchata and they only had one size and it was huge but so good! I would come back to get their burrito.

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.

I arrived right before they opened and there were 6 customers already waiting outside, the food has always been outstanding and I think the pricing is also great though I firmly believe you get A LOT OF QUALITY for what you pay. That mesquite smoke is insane and you can smell and taste it in their food. Their most simple item I've tried, bean and cheese burrito, is so amazing! I mean, how can something so simple make me say "OH WOW" every single time? Must be the flavor added by the lard they use in their flour tortillas. I also reheated two of these burritos next day, they were still tasty! Their burrito 2.0 is hands down the best burrito I have ever ever had: simple, their asada is amazing, they season their beans and the guacamole is great! Their salsa is super tasty though I always struggle to eat it because it is super spicy (I'm not used to eating a lot of spicy food, so for those of you who do, you may love it!). We've ordered family meals which are great, they give you a lot of sides, its very generous. Their Agua Fresca Jamaica is THE BEST! I dream about it, yummytart deliciousness. I order this a lot anywhere I go that sells it but Sonoratown's is the best. I highly recommend this place for locals and out of town folks. Enjoy!

You can tell that it's house made and I liked the chewy texture of it. However, respectfully the filling felt and tasted like bean goo. I could only really taste the refried bean flavor which was strong. It kind of meshed all the components together into a gooey filling. I got this with asada meat and the meat was kind of chewy and not so flavorful on its own. Props to the tortilla though for not spilling everything out and holding it together well, but still a bit difficult to eat. I would ask for utensils when eating this dish. The green onion garnish was unique. I wish they gave more lime wedges because that helped elevate the dish. For $13 this wasn't too bad, but I'd rather get a better burrito from a street vendor. This is a casual eats type of place with both indoor and outdoor seating and tables. They also serve alcohol and even frozen alcoholic drinks. They have a free parking lot in front, but it can be competitive to get a spot. Overall, my experience here was just okay and I would opt for other spots.
