Al pastor taco with grilled onions
Ashley H.

This place was a really good! The taco is delicious, especially for $2.50 each. Al pastor is good. They didn't have any pineapple today. They take Venmo Zelle and cash. The corn tortillas are fresh made!!

Al pastor

I HATE making negative reviews, but unfortunately my gf and brought her mom to enjoy the tacos since she lives in the area and has never tried them. She even brought tacos home for me, but I'm grateful to have not been home to eat them yet. She told me that the service was very different from the last time we were there. The person taking the orders was exceptionally rude and mumbled some curse words to her under her breath. She wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt since it looked like she may had been angry at a different customer but she was taking it out on my gf. Again, I'm grateful to have not had a chance to eat the dinner she brought home for me because her mom called right before I got home and said she was upset and disgusted because there was a "small coarse and curly hair in her tacos" From start to finish the experience today was not something we would ever return for.

A 4 only because I need to actually try the food. Here's what impressed me: 1. The set up was immaculate, super organized, clean and meticulous. You could tell these folks care about their business and take it as serious as they would with a storefront. 2. They home made their tortillas. The batter was right there plus the wooden tortilla maker and the metal crank roller thing to flatten it! This was my fav feature next to their name and the sign. Great job branding without spending big loot. 3. They have everything you need, but go early as there's always a line. 4. Parking is easy. There's a strip mall and you can pull right up on a not busy night and sit in your car while you wait as there is a lengthy wait!

Al pastor on the spit
Wesley T.

I've driven by a few times and seen the Al pastor roasting on the spit. It was too tempting to pass up today, and I got to give it a try for dinner. I was not disappointed! They roll out the tortillas fresh as you order them and then toss them on the grill. I ordered four tacos: asada, Al pastor, pollo, and suadero (pork). My favorite was the Al Pastor, but they were all very flavorful and packed full of meat. Tacos go for $2.50 a piece, so slightly more expensive than your typical taco truck, but well worth it considering the size of the tacos. You can pay with cash or Venmo. I will probably come back again!

Home made tortillas were nice but the carne asada wasn't . It didn't taste seasoned and was a little too mushy for my taste .

Tacos were great! They moved pretty fast for such a long line too. My recommendation is the torta of the tacos. Asada and pastor.

Hands down one of the best spots to eat near LAX. Art special pastram always hits the spot…read more Customer service is awesome. Clean and well kept. If your around the area, stop by and get you an Arts special.

So I was in town for a couple of days and whenever I visit LA, I try to hit one of my staples like…read moreJohnny Pastrami's or Pinks. But during this visit, my brother in law informed me that Johnny's was no longer being operated by the original owners and subsequently, the quality of the sandwich that I fell live with over 30 years ago, was no longer to be had. Damn... So, I whipped out my phone and promptly started searching Yelp for an alternative. That's how I found Arts. Arts is a food cart located near LAX, directly across the street from the Target warehouse. While they clearly feature Pastrami, their menu mostly skews towards Mexican street food which was fine by me! We pulled up after 8pm and parked across the street in the Target parking lot because there isn't any parking on the street the cart sits on. Now the pastrami sandwich is $30 - so you need to be committed. It is served on a roll vs sandwich bread like rye so if you are looking for the traditional style, this ain't it. That being said, this sandwich more than holds its own. Generous quantities of pastrami and the roll fresh and soft. We also ordered a chili cheese dog, churros and a couple of aqua frescas. Service was really good and we got our order in under 15 minutes. I would definitely keep this spot on rotation when I need my pastrami fix but I would also want to try some of the more traditional Mexican dishes that are on the menu

There's no seating but there are tables to use to eat. I would go more frequently if it was closer to me. Staff is very kind and helpful.

I've been to this taco stand & never had a problem. But after getting a carne asada quesadilla and…read morecarne asada taco ($16), that I was unable to eat, because the meat tasted like gas. I had ingested several bites of it, (with hot sauce), but I couldn't take another bite. The meat was chemically contaminated & I got sick not long after for the whole night. It was important for me to tell the person that runs the stand. I had the best of intentions to help this business and wanted nothing in return. I walked up to the stand & asked the woman who takes the cash, (with the sharp eyebrows), if I could please speak to the person in charge, (or owner). At first she ignored me & then said, "I don't understand - no speak English." I asked who speaks English and she sent me to the back of the line by the cooks. I stood there for another 10 minutes and no one wanted to talk to me or answer my question. I told them that there was a big problem with their meat the night before & had brought back the entire meal, so they could try the meat. No one did anything except talk to each other in Spanish, (which I understood). The cook graciously offered me a replacement meal & tried to problem solve. The tall man, who spoke English, (as shown next to cashier Karen in the photo), was going to give me a replacement meal. I waited 15-20 minutes. I asked for the chicken quesadilla, and the vitriol that came out of cashier Karen, who said she didn't speak English was unbelievable. She refused to give me any food and said I had to pay $6 for the replacement taco. I tried to tell her that it was a replacement and she kept yelling aggressively at me and said, "no - you pay $6. You're not getting anything " and that I, "never bought any taco." She became angry and verbally abusive because I was getting a replacement meal, as a solution to my getting chemically poisoned. She was a bully and aggressively yelling at me to humiliate me in front of the other customers & personnel. By this time she had no problem speaking English. (A group of young ladies started talking to me, felt bad that I was the focus of cashier Karen's rudeness. They complimented me & wished me a good night.) The guy next to cashier Karen handed me the bag with the quesadilla. I asked cashier Karen for her name and she ignored me. Then I asked the guy next to her what her name was and he put his hands together like duck lips and rudely opened and closed his hand at me, (meaning that I'm talking to much) This was extremely inappropriate & as soon as I left, I threw the food out, because I didn't trust or hold it past any of them to have put something nasty in my food. By the way, there was never a possibility that I would be refunded. By this time I was so upset, I was sorry that I had generously tipped them the night before. Even cashier Karen's response to the tip had been of surprise; but then I remembered she had not even acknowledged it or said thank you, after receiving it. What this staff does not, is that I owned and operated a successful fine dining restaurant & wedding venue for 17 years. I have done consulting for small restaurant businesses, pro bono, in order for the businesses to financially thrive. I know how food is cooked, how it should be stored, when the oil needs to be changed, marketing, accounting, et al., as well as the health dept's requirements, in order to keep the public healthy and well. What I believe happened to the meat and reason I took my food back to the taco stand; is because they had been out of chicken. Since there was a meat shortage, more carne asada needed to be barbecued quickly. An abundance of lighter fluid was used to quicken the process & it possibly got on the grill, where the meat is placed; and the cooking process started well before the coals were ready. It shouldn't matter whether you go to a restaurant, food truck or taco stand, customers should be treated with respect, kindness & consideration - and it's called customer service. A customer shouldn't be lied to, yelled at, insulted and humiliated by any employee of the business. It should be run in a transparent and professional manner. I'm 64 yrs young & have never written one negative comment or review about any restaurant. Nor have I ever been treated with such disrespect, malice and ill intent. I felt it important to tell my story because nobody should experience what I did; in eating compromised food and then being made to feel like I did something bad. This is what bullies do and I've never had a problem in clarifying right from wrong, as well as responsibility and accountability. I didn't have a choice and had to give a star.

For it's debut, there were: Buttermilk Truck Don Chow Kabob n Roll India Jones Nom Nom Komodo World Fare Reggae Chicken South Philly Experience Edit Event Details There will be different trucks each week.

There was still a wait.. but not as bad as I expected it to be. Longest wait would have been from the buttermilk truck. Another plus was that there were places for you to sit. They put out benches and chairs .. and there were areas in the grass. I'd come back here.. but maybe around 2... so there aren't as many people.

They have lots of trash cans, recycling bins, and even Purell wipes!!! This is such a gem, it's sad that the trucks don't come more than once a week. Of note, there is an employee of the "Gateway business district" that stays visible and keeps an eye on things. Presumably to make sure the trucks follow whatever rules there are for the weekly event and the diners are safe. Love it.
