Came here on a Saturday evening and didn't have to wait at all. I remember loving this place so much back when it was called Ave 26 tacos, however, this time around, my expectations were not met. This place is now in a parking lot and honestly, it was sort of confusing on where everything was at. For example, I asked one of the staffs where the potatoes were at and she said she wasn't sure. Anyways, I ended up getting their lengua and carne asada and honestly both of them tasted really dry and old. Not sure if it was because they made it too early and I did come prior to their peak hours or what. Parking wise, I see people parking inside the parking lot as to where it was at. Not sure if you can park there but I just opted to park on the streets to be safe. Although, since it is LA, I also didn't feel quite safe walking back to my car. Otherwise, the price did spike from $1.50 to now $2.25 each.

There is not a lot to write other than the tacos are delicious and you need to come here like asap! They are open 24/7, they do take card but cash is preferable. You make the line and get your tacos. The parking depending wha time you come can be very busy. There is not a seating area, gotta take them to go or go eat in your car. These are some bomb AF tacos!

The establishment

Heck yes! One of the best street tacos! The free parking is definitely a plus here. It is outdoor with no place to sit but grab your tacos and sit in your car to enjoy. The staff are working hard and are bilingual. We were encouraged to order pork but the chicken and beef were so great! I love the extra toppings of cilantro, onion, and salsa on the side. They also had small cooked yellow potatoes as a side also, one free per person. I also ordered a horchata to wash it all down and it was excellent. They do accept cash and card here! Definitely a late night spot, so be careful and alert!

This spot was recommendation to me and I was excited to finally experience it for myself. I was treated to tacos and I chose cabesa and one carne asada. They had an extremely organized set up. They host all of dtlA but also dodger fans after a game. They offer complementary baby potatoes that look to have been boiled. This was a nice surprise and an unexpected add. They offer aguas galore and all the fixins...cilantro, onions, radishes, limes, Chiles and avacado salsa. All for the mere price of $2.25 a taco. They are located in a open parking lot across from xlanes in dtla.

Tacos LA 26 is bomb asf -- easily one of the better taco spots in LA. The food is savory, flavorful, and cooked right. Everything tasted fresh, well-seasoned, and satisfying without being greasy or heavy. Portions are solid and the prices are very reasonable for the quality. These are the kind of tacos you crave again once you leave. The service was another highlight. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and very helpful -- happy to answer questions and make recommendations without any attitude, which honestly goes a long way. The ambience is exactly what you want from a great taco spot: casual, lively, and authentic. It has that classic street-style taco vibe that feels comfortable and fun without trying too hard. Clean, organized, and easygoing -- perfect for grabbing food and enjoying the moment. Parking availability nearby is a huge plus and makes stopping in convenient. Overall: great food, fair prices, friendly service, solid ambience, and easy parking. Highly recommended -- I'll definitely be back

Asada, al pastor, cabeza & suadero with all 3 salsas
Randy S.

Solid street tacos, open late with plenty of parking. I like to get cabeza, al pastor, suadero & asada. Don't forget the grilled onions! I personally like to put a little of all 3 salsas and eat a slice of radish with every bite to give a fresh crunchiness to balance the heaviness of the meat. Can always count on avenue 26!

My friends and I were driving back from an event we attended and we happened to stop by here for dinner. From the amount of people eating in the parking lot, I could tell this place must be good. We walked up and ordered our food. The servers were polite, extremely efficient, and had our food prepared within seconds. After paying, we were ushered over to the sauce/salsa bar and veggie bar. The place is located in a parking lot so the weather does affect the comfort but the food can always be eaten in the car. The tacos were pretty darn good! The meat had a smoked flavor with plenty of spices. They had an assortment of optional menu choices if tacos aren't your craving. The ambiance is dependent on who is there but overall the experience was excellent.

Avenue 26 tacos is nostalgic and consistent every time. Street tacos are ordered on the left side and quesadillas on the right side (separate lines). My favorite meats are Al Pastor, Cabeza, and Asada. This is definitely a good spot to go to after an event at Crypto arena or if you're hanging around Arts District/Little Tokyo. Last Tuesday our order of 7 tacos came out to $15.25 in cash ($2.17 per). Keep in mind the cost is different if you pay in cash vs credit card. Also quick tip: parking for paying customers is limited to one hour.

5 stars for the street food category. ​ Every time we're in LA, we make it a point to stop by this place. They have good and simple street tacos. They operate out of a parking lot, which has plenty of parking. They don't have tables for dining, so this is perfect for to-go, car dining, or tailgating. ​ They mainly focus on tacos, since the last time I've been, they've added burritos. Considering the limited number of fixings, I stuck with the tacos. ​ The line moves quickly. With only four meats on the menu (carne asada, grilled chicken, carnitas, and al pastor) the only decision is how many tacos to order. Honey and I got 8 tacos for $18 cash. I assume they have a card/ digital payment premium. ​Once you pay, you can add as much onions, cilantro, and salsa as you like. ​ I would definitely recommend this spot if your in downtown LA.

mmmm these tacos are SOOOO good icl. first off we got the car inside of tacos. They are about two dollars each and they are so amazing. The service was instantaneous and super quick. We got free potatoes, which were super moist and tasty. The only thing I can say is that the sauces are so spicy. Like my mouth was absolutely burning. The ambience was super chill and like I said it was super fast to get the food and check out. Everything is low-key self-serve in terms of sauces and toppings. So it was super quick and yummy.

Lengua, asada, and pastor tacos tasted amazing

My friend recommended a late night food spot for tacos. We were open to checking out his food recommendation. We then made our way by walking towards the food spot. My friend took all of us to a food spot called Tacos LA 26. We walked into the parking lot area and arrived. We saw a lot of customers. Tacos LA 26 had an organized structured setting. There were three areas I noticed when we arrived. The first area we encountered was the area to order food. The second area had an area with a variety of condiments to put on the tacos. Lastly, there was an area to sit on tables and eat the food. The staff members were friendly and the service was quick. I ordered lengua, asada, and pastor tacos. I put my condiments on top. I ended up standing up with my friends and eating my tacos. The tacos tasted amazing and were nicely seasoned. I enjoyed how tender and soft the meats were and tortillas were the best I have ever had. I really enjoyed and loved the tacos I ordered.

Asada Tacos, Pastor Tacos, Pollo Tacos, Lengua Tacos, Horchata

Great spot to stop by after a concert or just in general. Lots of different delicious taco options to choice from. Service is fast w/ a taco salsa bar. Nice atmosphere to grab food ,eat on top of your car, and chill w/ friends.

We kicked things off with the queso fundido, and wow, it was absolutely delicious! Rich, melty, and packed with flavor, it was the perfect way to start the evening. For my entrée, I ordered the cochinita pibil, which was incredibly tender and saucy in the best way. My husband ordered the short rib, and it was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. On the side, we shared the papas bravas and esquite, both of which complemented our dishes perfectly. The drinks truly elevated the night. My husband and I both love mezcal, and Kateen delivered. I ordered the Valentine's Day "Zona Romántica," which featured mezcal and wine almost like a sangria, but completely unique and beautifully balanced. My husband had the "Gypsy Fever," also mezcal-based, and it was smoky, smooth, and refreshing. Between the food, cocktails, and ambiance, it made for such a romantic and memorable evening. We'll absolutely be back!!

This was my first time dining at this restaurant. The server was great, the food was delicious, and…read morethe atmosphere was amazing. However, the reason I'm giving 2 stars is because of the valet parking experience. First, I was charged $25 even though the sign clearly stated that valet parking is $17 for the first 3 hours, and $25 after 3 hours. Our reservation was at 6:30 PM, we arrived on time, and we left before 9 PM, so the charge did not make sense. When I asked the valet attendant, he kept saying, "because you dined there," without giving any clear explanation. If it is actually a flat rate for restaurant guests, then that should be clearly stated upfront to customers. Second, when I got into my car, I noticed that someone had touched the navigation settings because the compass direction and display were different from what I normally use. I do not understand why there was any need to adjust or touch my navigation system at all. I really think the restaurant needs to improve and better manage its valet parking system. Honestly, it felt like I was being charged a random price just because I was told, "you dined there." If there is a flat valet rate for restaurant guests, that information should be clearly communicated upfront instead of leaving customers confused at the end.

Now when you pull up originally you might think, "am I in the right place" but once you park and get into the courtyard, it is LOVELY! Amazing ambience! There is a bocce set up, string lights. It is a little slice of oasis in the middle of the fashion district. The restaurant itself - beautiful. I couldn't ask for more. Absolutely perfect in my book. Beautiful plants hanging, perfect Spanish music in the background (any place playing Natalia LaFourcade is a win). The drinks were great! I had the jungle bird which was fun. Food was so good too. The whipped beans are the star! We had the guacamole which was tasty, great tostadas with it. The arepas were good but the pork belly was a little too fatty (I know pork belly is always fatty) to the point the fat muted the flavored for the arepa a bit, but still delicious. The empanadas were great and as someone who lived in South America and ate empanadas every day, these really took me back to my Paraguay days. The squash blossoms were light and perfectly fried. Unfortunately my friends had gone to Funke the night before so they were comparing the squash blossoms and Funke won out, but they still liked Dama's! Small plates were enough for the 3 of us. The service was quick and attentive. Parking was easy for us. I will definitely be back!

They offer a "Mini" version which would be satisfactory for one person. My favorite thing about these burritos is how "home-made" they are, the salsas and meats are fresh and taste like they came out of an abuelitas kitchen. I still need to try the crunchy tacos and nachos which look great, I recommend trying this classic establishment at least once if you're in the area.
