“I forgot how good these tacos are. I went yesterday it had been years, I love the grilled onion and the steemed jalapenos, got some ceviche also, super fresh and good, inside seating is not The greatest, but definitely a Top 5 in freshness and taste! I will definitely be going back.“

“Corn Man is my go-to spot in LA for satisfying late-night cravings with absolutely delicious corn on the cob. However, the surrounding neighborhood can be a bit sketchy, making it feel unsafe to hang around waiting for your order since there's only one corn man working.Despite encountering a few arguments with random passersby staring at me, the corn here is undeniably tasty and a definite must-try for those late-night munchies.“

“You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, with that said I love to try a different item on it everytime I get a chance to stop by. Taste and quality are always on point. It's awesome to see the staff having a blast together with great music in the background making the experience feel fun even when there's a wait. Pricing is perfect as the portions are generous and the flavors are like to other. So happy to see this business growing as I look forward to seeing them all over the nation one day. Keep serving it up #TYQ!“

“The best elotes on earth! ?? I make sure to order every time I’m in town. This vendor is only open late nights and depending on where you’re staying you may have to travel a bit to find him but when you get there it’s all going to be worth it! The corn on the cob and in the bowl are both delicious!“

“Live down the street and so happy this place is here regularly . Very good food and friendly staff . I recommend the torta with their breaded chicken -- it's really good and don't know other trucks that offer it. One day will try their Birria ramen FYI they take Venmo/Zelle/cash app“

“I went to Tirzah’s for the first time today and I have been wanting to come for years! Don’t wait! Go now! It was very delicious! I got the LA burrito and my friend got the chili relleno burrito and she said it was awesome! The chili relleno is a Friday only burrito just fyi. I can’t wait to go again and try something from the Mediterranean part of the menu.“

“you can never go wrong by going to taqueria stand. you will leave satisfied. The handmade tortillas are so good, and every meat are made to perfection, it's a must try when you're around the area. They have limited amount of parking and seating, so chances area of you waiting are likely, but not impossible. My friends and I went before a lakers game had let out, so we were able to find both.“

“Riquísimo muy recomendable“

“Es la primera vez que las pruebo y los tacos dorados. Muy rico todo, carnitas, cueritos, los tacos con sus respectivas salsas y tortillas home made. Se los recomiendo!!“

“Stumbled upon this place on a whim with my friends while trying to find some Mexican food and decided why not here? It's a good thing we decided that because I think we ended up each getting 3 rounds of tacos. The pork and beef tacos were delicious and only two dollars each. The toppings and hot sauce are all self-serve. Finally, the horchatas are homemade and delicious! The place only accepts cash, zelle, and cashapp but do not sleep on this place the tacos and horchata are seriously good.“

“This little tiny but mighty spot is a delight. I have tried it about 3 times on my lunch break so I have not been able to enjoy it right to order, but I can say that it traveled well for 15 min. The place offers some seating and the set up is such a way that brings me back to my traveling days in Mexico. Their tacos are great, and today I tried their asada burrito, all excellent choices. They offer a variety of other foods like menudo on the weekends, dying to try that! My coworkers all rave about this spot as well, too bad we can't get it more often.“

“A great place to grab something to eat, especially when dining with people with different dietary preferences. On this occasion, a vegan, a vegetarian and two fairly open minded diners. All four of us ate well and ordered food that was good to great and were able to sitbl at one table to chat. A great place.Vegetarian options: Lots of choices among the many and varied restaurants.“

“I found this new BBQ pop-up in Lakewood at the YMCA and I can’t say enough good things about it. From the kindness of the family that runs it, to the delicious food. Last week I had the 3 meat plate (I chose brisket, pork belly and chicken) which came with 2 sides and it was only $28! The brisket and pork belly were SO tender and juicy and had an amazing flavor! Earlier today I had the one meat plate with chicken, this coleslaw that is probably the best I’ve ever tasted, and their brisket chow mein. So good! Everything is homemade down to the sauces and they have things like burritos and Texas toast brisket grilled cheese. It’s called Axiom Kitchen. Husband, wife and kids and so kind…they made us feel so special. We haven’t had service like that in a long time. I know they are at the Lakewood YMCA on Sundays and I think Fridays and they are at another location on Thursday but I’m not sure where.“

“I've been going around L.A. looking for the best birria and believe me, we finally hit the spot. Not only is it delicious but also has great customer service. As a fellow entrepreneur/business owner, I can easily say, they're doing great. Stop by and try a taco, maybe 2, hey, why not the birria plate if you're really hungry!“

“Food 11/10 and the Service 1000/10!!We are a german couple on vacation in LA. We saw the Cena in the Internet and went for it. We had no Internet and couldn‘t Order so we were staying outside and didn‘t know what to do. Then This beautiful Lady appears, got us in and made us super delicious food. She was wonderful Friendly and helpfull. THANKS AGAIN!!“

“definitivamente muy sabrosos los tacos los mire en tic toc y dije que cuando fuera a las angeles iría con mi familia a probarlos y la verdad quedamos fascinados,,,no entiendo como muchas loncheras o restaurantes venden Tacos de cabeza muy caros pero además de caros malicimos,,,la verdad se los recomiendo,,,,o y lleguen temprano porque se acaban muy rápido.“

“First time customer, but will be coming back again soon and often most likely. Ordered the pork (chicharron) quesadilla. There was also a chicken and squash blossom option. The tortillas are blue corn, fresh pressed for each order. The cart is small, but efficiently laid out. Napkins, ice cold drinks and plenty of toppings/salsa options available. There was a line, but I didn’t have to wait long. It was great that she takes either cards or cash too. Highly recommend!“

“great customer service delicious freaking food!“

“Muy buena la comida y el servicio“

“Bomb Tacos Burritos and Tortas you name it super filled with charbroiled meat over filled I might say all kinds of toppings fresh refreshers you can find them on the very corner called Vanessa's Tijuana Tacos give them a try you will love it just as much as my family did“

“Best. Taco. Stand. Ever. Hands down the most delicious tacos in LA. Full of meat and a great price at $2 each! As well as taco Tuesday deals. Unheard of. The avocado salsa is the best. Nachos and quesadillas are great too. Come here 2-3 a week for months now. Everyone is super nice and they have a big, organized team that can handle a crowd. It’s consistently busy but we’re always in and out quick. Definitely recommend! ?⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“WHAT AN AMAZING TACO PLACE THIS IS!! We ordered so many types of tacos there's so many options to choose from I LOVE IT. We got the vampiro tacos with pastor and chicharron which both were perfectly seasoned and juicy. Their handmade tortillas as well were very addicting and properly crunchy. We also got the cheese tacos with some of their vegan options, my favorite was their fried avocado! And their agua frescas!!! ALLL were phenomenal and paired very well with the spice from the tacos. And to top this all off, the staff were beautiful and kind and patient I loved everything about this spot!“

“(Translated by Google) Rich carnitas tacos, very well served, well filled, the extra a golden tortilla to accompany it.(Original)Ricos tacos de carnitas, muy bien servidos bien llenitos, el extra una tortilla doradita de acompañamiento.Parking: Es una lonchera, las mesas y sillas están sobre la banqueta por lo tanto el estacionamiento es en la callé, donde se pueda.“

“Solid taco joint with seating.I ordered 3 tacos. $2 each but if you get trips or lengua it’s $2.50. Street sized tortilla so it’s a little smaller, but they don’t skimp too badly on meat.Al Pastor - really good. Cut straight off the trompo into the tortilla. The chef also slices off a couple sivers of sweet pineapple that he catches into the taco with his other hand.Cabeza- cut into cubes. Maybe 4 more fatty chunks mixed in which melt in your mouth. Very tasty. I’d get it again.Buche - generous amounts. It has a mild flavor since it doesn’t seem to be marinated much. However it is very tender and clean-tasting.All in all, a solid choice. I will be back!“

“First of all, I really wanna give a shout out to this young women who’s doing it big, honestly her food it’s another level. It’s hard to find a really good authentic Mexican cuisine. I saw her on Instagram and I wanted to give her a try. I didn’t know what to expect. She’s located on Central Avenue in Los Angeles close to el segundo, went there. She had five options which all of them taste great. But I want to emphasize in two guisados, Chicharrón in salsa Verde, and mole poblano de pollo ? . Was really tasty. That chicharrón was super clean, but the winner was the mole poblano with pollo, ??????‍??‍??‍? fire he had that smokiness, sweetness and berry reach in favor. With the handmade tortillas. How can you go wrong please ?Give me 10 to go Lol ?.it’s a taco ? that melts in your mouth. We have to support more businesses like sierra guisados, if she keeps doing what she does. She’ll have my support no doubt about it. Congratulations.“

“The menudo was really good. My bf got a chicken quesadilla he said it was good as well. Parking is kind of hard to get but I think you can park in back of the canopy not sure though. Definitely going back again. The enchiladas smelled really yummy didn't get any we'll get some next time.“

“For a very small hidden place, this was a jewel of a find. Wanted something not too big for lunch. Had two cabeza mediano tacos. It was just perfection. Just like home. Looked up after finishing my tacos and the place was full of locals. Always trust the locals. Love supporting local small businesses! Bravo!!!!“

“Exelente servicio de buena calidad y su personal muy amable totalmente de acuerdo con su Servicio. 100% Recomendable“

“My coworkers had recommended this place after watching a Netflix documentary and let me tell you the story behind the restaurant is very heart warming. The food on the other is belly warming. If you come here the must is the carnitas tacos. Duh, simply the meat very tender and not fatty and the portions are big. I had two tacos and you can definitely make 4 with them and double it. The winner on the other hand I would say is the mafita. Pure hot cheesy mixed meat goodness. It's a giant carnitas taco with mixed meat with cheese. I don't think there's anything else I can say about this place. The other reviews speak for themselves but do watch the special about this place before you go. I definitely will recommended and come back to this place.“

“MÉXICO (Guerrero) ??Excerpt from Eat the World Los Angeles:While you are standing in line waiting for your chance to order this goat and lamb barbacoa, listen to the conversations of others around you, or if you do not speak Spanish start one yourself. It becomes clear that the vast majority of customers here live in nearby neighborhoods of South and Southeast Los Angeles but originally come from Guerrero.The food and adobo-rubbed Guerrero-style barbacoa they remember is best represented here under the large yellow tent. The stand has lived for over a decade, the tent was once white and much smaller, but now the current one becomes a sight that makes your heart speed up in anticipation of the upcoming meal. Barbacoa can be thrown on any menu, usually resulting in a plate of dry meat laid in front of you, but it takes someone talented and willing to put in the hard work of properly cleaning an animal and cooking it overnight to make the best.After finishing you can start to appreciate the origin stories of this food and the family that serves it. On the business card, a beautiful scene of Taxco shows the main cathedral and the mountains that surround the Northern Guerrero town. It is quite a bit closer to Mexico City than it is to the coastal Guerrero city of Acapulco, and shares a culture similar to the mountainous towns of nearby Estado de México, Morelos, and Puebla, places that have all seen quite a dramatic loss of families that have moved their lives north. It is an honor and a privilege to share meals with those that have come to Los Angeles, and the amazing yellow-tented food stand that fulfills their cravings from back home.“

“The Pork Belly Fries are yummy and filling! This location is good for a hangout with friends. A bit pricey, but you get a big portion size and delicious fries. The portion size is good for two people to share. The meat is tender and fries are flavorful. I’m surprised this place isn’t more popular. We arrived during an afternoon and the location was empty. Plenty of seating options. Decent customer service. This business is located in a small plaza with plenty of parking spots.“

“First time in southern California ( landed in LAX) was driving down to San Diego for a job and really wanted to try some tacos. And found this golden gem on the way. Nice people, amazing tacos ( that remind you of Mexico) highly recommend to try it!“

“Today was my first time going there, it was awesome I really do recommend this place…I will be going there at least every 2weeks .“

“3.5 stars. i was driving home on a Sunday night at around 1800 and saw this spot as I was headed towards the highway. Driving through Hunting Park really makes you hungry for Mexican food...:) Stopped and got 4 different tacos. The extra stuff you can add to your tacos are awesome. The grilled onions, the charro beans, the pickled onions, the radishes, the cucumber, and I think there was maybe two other things. Then there's 3 salsas and lime to top it all off. It's a lot. My tacos were loaded. I also got a pineapple fresca. I honestly think I loaded too much on my tacos and couldn't taste the meat as much. I got the pastor, chorizo, buche, and something else-it was sirloin steak. All of it's not bad but I liked the chorizo the most. There's maybe four other meats. Again, I think I overloaded my tacos and should def go back give this place another shot. But this is a cool spot for street tacos. Total cost was $12 though, which is a little pricey.“

“I have a good friend who stays in Whittier when she is in town, and we wanted ceviche and found this amazing place! She's been back again and of course, we went back to Danny's. Their ceviche is SO FRESH and we get a variety of other things too like fish tacos. The service is great and people working are super friendly. It's small and quaint and the perfect place to hang out and eat delicious food. 100% recommend if you like ceviche.“

“Literally the best taco stand in Whittier ! Everything they have is delicious !!!! The meat is juicy and full of flavor. I either get a Torta de asada con todo or a burrito de asada con todo! FYI They are also super generous and stuff the tacos, tortas and burritos with meat ! So it's perfect for sharing with someone else If you are thinking about coming here... don't think twice lol I 100% recommend this spot !! They also super nice !!! The young guy and the older man are very sweet and welcoming.“
