How do you visit LA and not eat at a food truck?…read more Luckily, I stumbled on to this gem on Hollywood Blvd across from the W hotel. Not knowing what to expect I decided to support this truck. It was after several drinks so I knew exactly what I wanted, some burgers, wings and fries. I tried the sliders with bacon, and the teriyaki wings with the fries. It was delicious and hit the spot. The guy in the truck who I'm assuming was the owner, promised that the food was going to be ready in exactly 4 minutes. I don't know why he felt the need to put himself under such a tight time constraint. My expectations change once he said this. I found myself growing impatient once it eclipsed 4 mins. Expectations is everything. Other than that, everything was good. A bit pricey..$13 for 6 wings and fries, but I guess that price is relative and depends on where you are from and what you are use to paying.

I enjoyed eating and spending some time at this truck. They have great sliders wings and fries. I…read moretried the chipotle and house sliders with a side of nacho fries lol it was so amazing!!

Honestly, it's really disappointing to see a Latino owned business treating its own community this way. We should be supporting our community, not taking advantage of our people. My friend recently had an experience here that was extremely disappointing. Her card didn't go through, but the cashier didn't notice that the payment had been declined and gave her the food anyway. Once my friend realized the payment hadn't gone through, she immediately went back inside and politely explained what had happened because she wanted to make it right. Instead of handling the situation professionally, the cashier became aggressive and accused her of stealing. My friend was extremely embarrassed and upset, especially because she is a local resident who has consistently supported this business. Mistakes happen, but there's a respectful way to handle them. Unfortunately, after this experience, we will not be returning. I would encourage others to consider supporting another local business that values and respects its customers.

Misnomer. When I saw the name of this food truck, I thought this might be Central American's "soul"…read morefood, but it was actually US Southern soul food with a little Latin twist. The only Latin American ingredients were tortilla, store-bought chips and their mango salsa (which was good). I like the idea of putting southern food in tortilla for convenient, food-truck dining, but I would expect a bit more blending of the two cuisines with its name. Zora Neale's Special: perfectly seasoned and grilled tilapia with greens (kale) and Mac n' cheese for $12. They serve it in a hamburger styrofoam box, so it looks rather small, but they load it and are very generous with the portions! I couldn't finish it in one sitting. I must say the greens and Mac n' cheese were quite salty, though. 3 Taco Special: your choice of chicken, beef brisket, fish and/or oxtail(!), which comes with store-bought chips and their mango salsa for $12. Each taco is regularly priced at $4. They allow you to order different kinds of meat per order, which is nice, but they didn't have oxtail at this time. :( The beef brisket was good, but again, a tad on the salty side. For sides, I tried the plantain chips and sweet potato fries. The plantain chips were not chips at all, but fried plantains, which were delicious, but we expected chips. The sweet potato fries were crispy and seasoned just right. I also ordered what I thought was watermelon juice, but it was really sugary lemonade with a few pieces of watermelon in it. Again, not what I was expecting. :/ The staff working in the truck was really nice, though, and tried to get orders out quickly.

So if you're a true Angeleno, I'm pretty sure you've tried your traditional standard Mexican street fare. Tacos, burritos, quesadillas, tortas... Well, let me tell you... you've never had a torta like this until you come here. If you're not familiar with the "torta" simply put it's basically a Mexican sandwich. You've got your meat, a layer of refried beans, usually complimented by tomatoes, onions, jalapenos, cheese, and slices of fresh avocado. This spot bases their concept on a torta that is "DF style". If you don't know DF it's known as the Federal District, or to us non-Mexicans as Mexico City. I'm assuming that's how tortas are made back home in Mexico City. I've had many tortas from many spots, and at the superb recommendation of some good Mexican friends, I went with them on a Friday evening and decided to give this place a try. Long story short, two things that truly set this place apart. First the bread. Most torta spots will just use a plain roll sliced down the center, lightly toasted. Nothing special. But true sandwich connoisseur will know that most of the time it's the bread that make the sandwich. I asked my friend what kind of bread they use and he really couldn't describe it either in a specific way. It's a "flat iron" style bread that's toasted on the outside. But you bite into it and it's just perfect. Crunchy on the outside and moist and soft on the inside. Come to think of it now, reminds me of the McDonald's McGriddle bread, but without the maple syrup sweetness. Just awesome. Second, imagine this bread that I just described on their main specialty the "Cubana". Imagine milanesa (breaded steak), ham, and this thinly cooked layer of pork to a tender crisp (I forgot the name of this) all piled on with cheese, avocado, tomatoes and jalapenos and bonded harmoniously with this flat iron bread. This is one beautiful sandwich. I got to try some other ones, like the "Sonidera" (I forgot what this one had, but they were all similar but tasty) and the asada. The steak was very tender in that one as well. The sizes and portions are generous, and cut neatly in half wrapped in paper so it doesn't get too messy either. But all in all, as mentioned... gotta try the bread and the go try the Cubana. Now for the fine print. This place is a tiny trailer parked on the corner of 27th St. and San Pedro St. so there is no physical address. If you're heading southbound on San Pedro and see 27th, it should be on the right hand corner. The parking is scarce, but there is some street parking and you can casually park your ride in the adjacent liquor market parking lot at the corner for a little while. If you're gonna take it to-go, that's what I recommend. We actually parked our car on the parking lot and ate on the top of the trunk. And people that have done this before, you know food always tastes 10 times better when it's eaten on top of a car trunk. Their hours of operation are somewhat limited. According to the flyer, they are open only on Fridays 4 to 9:30pm, and Saturdays and Sundays 11:00am to 8pm. Wait was a bit long (about 20 mins for three sandwiches) but well worth it. The entire show is run by 3-4 ladies but one bite and you can totally tell this torta was made with love. It almost tastes homemade. The neighborhood will have question marks all over it. I don't recommend wearing your Rolex and driving your Benz. But doesn't mean you have to dodge bullets while taking bites in between. This is all compensated by the many people waiting in line for service, so plenty of foot traffic and it's a bunch of neighborhood locals. If you're in for a true LA experience and want to try a torta that sets another bar, I highly recommend this place. One suggestion... go grab yourself a Mexican coke from the Mexicali Market right on the corner. Not the canned stuff, not the plastic bottle... the pure, unadulterated, made-from-sugar-not-corn-syrup Coke in a thick glass bottle imported straight from the border. Pairing this with the Cubana is akin to a fine glass of Cabernet with a superb dry-aged medium rare filet mignon. read more

YOU. PULL OVER." I swear the aroma reached into my car, grabbed my steering wheel, and said, "We're eating tonight, bro." Next thing I know, I'm parked crooked, seatbelt still on, already ordering tacos. Ambience (AKA Your Car Is the Dining Room) ha ha ha ! This is a street taco vendor, so the vibe is pure Tijuana energy, smoky grill, sizzling meat, and that beautiful chaos that tells you the food is gonna be fire. It's absolutely an eat‑in‑your‑car type of spot. You're not here for candles and mood lighting. I did that way earlier in the evening. You're here to lean over your lap praying your burrito doesn't explode on your shirt. Service was fast, friendly, and efficient -- the kind of crew that knows you're hungry and doesn't play games. They move with confidence, like they've fed thousands of people who "just came for one taco" and left with a full combo and a new personality. Wow....The Food (AKA Why I Almost Licked My Steering Wheel) * Tacos Estilo Tijuana -- Smoky, juicy, and stacked like they're trying to test your jaw strength. The tortillas were warm and perfect, and the meat had that grill‑kissed flavor that makes you close your eyes for a second. Tijuana tacos * Burritos, Massive. Heavy. A full commitment. The kind of burrito that makes you question your life choices but in a good way. Every bite was loaded, messy, and absolutely worth the risk of dropping salsa on my pants. The salsa, so Dangerous. The onions and cilantro? Fresh. The grill smoke? Perfume for hungry people. Like me. Ha ha ha ! Tacos La Humadera is the type of food establishment that kidnaps you with smell alone. Great service, killer tacos, and a burrito that should honestly come with a seatbelt warning. If you're in LA and you smell something magical in the air... follow it.
