50 Best Food Trucks near Lawndale

“The truck was at Common Space Brewery on a Saturday afternoon when we had dinner. We opted for the garanchas and quesabirria tacos plate. The total was a little over $30 for the combo, and it ended up being plenty of food for my wife and I.Both dishes came out piping hot. That includes the consomme on the side. The salsas and pickled cabbage were nice and cold, with the salsas spicy and very tasty. All items on both plates were delicious and excellent quality. The combo of various ingredients worked very well together texturally and flavor-wise. We really enjoyed everything and would definitely dine with this truck again.“

“I was uncomfortable with the place down the street. It looked rowdy. Javi told us to try this place. He said it's been here over 10 years. I wish I knew about this place sooner. It's a hidden gem.They have a huge indoor seating area, cafeteria style. There's restrooms.We paid $120 for two botanas, a dozen oysters, 6 shrimp tacos, two tostadas, and three drinks. Yum. Sorry! We were hungry, forgot to take before pictures. ?“

“Love “the dad” from here! They really know what they’re doing. Easy online ordering as well with pretty accurate estimated time. There’s a back parking lot for convenient pickup as well. I ordered from here for the superbowl and everything was super on time. The time provided from ordering online was actually spot-on which made my pizza run right before kickoff sooo easy!!!One of my go to pizza places on the west side. Caesar salad was actually great, wings are good, & love the garlic knots! Can’t complain about a gem like this at all. Highly recommend if you’re craving a thick slice of za! The dough is phenomenal.“

“From start to finish Teddy’s was a 10/10. I got the deluxe plate and was not disappointed in the least. Everything was made to perfection and the consume was wonderful. The salsa had the perfect kick to it and you can’t beat the staff and ambience. I unfortunately am only visiting the area so I’ll just have to dream about eating their tacos on repeat.“

“Food is really good you won't be disappointed just the parking & the seats are so so .Vegetarian options: Well you have beans , guacamole , rice , salsas on a handmade tortilla is pretty good .Dietary restrictions: I myself don't eat beef I'm a chicken fella myself . I love a pair of chicken tacos on handmade tortillas with guacamole feel good & not greasy either with a touch of salsa .“

“Been coming to this place for years at least twice a month. The tortas never disappoint. I've placed phone orders and they never get it wrong unlike other places. Their customer service is good. In my opinion, it's the best tortas in Los Angeles. However, my only critique is the fact that they are extremely stingy with the napkins and even worse, with the salsa. They give 2 napkins and 1 salsa per torta. If you ask them for more salsa they charge extra. Apart from this, they only accept cash. We are in 2024 they should be accepting card or at least Zelle/Cashapp. All that being said, I'm still a loyal costumer who will keep enjoying these delicious tortas but that wants more napkins and salsa lol“

“Location a bit unusual, but I am not from the area, so maybe it is not. The service was fine. The prices were good. Our foreign exchange student had pollo and asada, which he enjoyed, but said the steak was the better of the two. My partner had the vampiro, which she loved. Finally, I had the quesataco with chivo. It had just the right amount of juice and gaminess. The offer a wide variety of tasty salsas and drinks. With the countless options in the LA area, I would have to be near it or have a goat craving to eat here again.“

“This is my first time coming back this tacos stand in over 7 years and this place did not disappoint at all, the tortillas are handmade store is delicious I like that they have a limited amount of meats meaning that whatever you get, will be delicious. People working they provide friendly and fast service. Location is as it should be for street tacos, it's just adds more to the ambience and experience of street tacos 10/10.“

“4+ Considered one of the best by many or at least one of the most popular taco spots in Los Angeles. They have a good variety of items and meats, but I would say they are most known for their al pastor (marinated, spit-roasted pork that is usually served with a slice/ chunk of pineapple). The service here is pretty efficient since they have to be - there's almost always a line. The vibe: depending on the time of day or night you come, it's usually a mixed group of people wanting to try this spot, people eating after a drinking session, or just people looking for decently priced tacos. One of the times I was here, I was standing behind Dante Basco (Rufio!), haha. Usually a fun vibe for sure. My usual here is two tacos (typically the al pastor) and a mulita. It used to be that there was a toppings and salsa bar where you would dress up your food. Not sure if it's because of the pandemic or people taking advantage and taking too much stuff home, you now have to go to a separate window to ask for the toppings and salsa and they're individually packaged. I definitely think this place is worth going for the al pastor. I myself have been here multiple times. Parking can be tough, but if you are going during the week there's usually parking along the street facing south on LA Brea right around the corner. Just be careful though as it is a relatively high traffic area and some people seem to drive recklessly in this area.“

“The costilla taco and it had so much flavor! It wasn't huge but it was just the right lunch size for me. Served with green onions and radishes, it reminded me of Mexican dinners with my grandma. I also had the chips with guacamole (so flavor-packed!) and delicious watermelon agua fresca. This meal was a total win, all around.“

“Love this taco stand. I take all my friends here. The food is delicious and the staff is delightful. The Al pastor is my favorite!Parking: Plenty of parking on the street and there's a Ralph's/Rite Aid parking lot you could use as well.“

“This is on the upper end of Taco food trucks, but it’s absolutely worth the price. I had the shrimp tostada and the mahi mahi taco. Both were excellent. I walked away from that truck promising myself I come back again.Really good food and worth a hike, would recommend driving and eating out of your trunk.“

“Absolutely incredible food. Best surf and turf burrito I’ve ever had. Tried the rojinegro per their namesake, and it was pretty yummy; especially the octopus. Also got some asada tacos. Fish taco was ok. Owners were also super nice and let our toddler watch them hook the food truck up to their pickup.“

“Flavorful, simple, complex- great on the tongue and even better in the tummy. The red sauce gets everywhere and ai loved it! I can't say enough about how helpful and gracious the staff were - brought the food to my table "FROM A FOOD TRUCK!!! AMAZING!!!!!!" before I had a chance to get up.The dining area is just off the alley off of Slausen. Under a canopy with a little music and a restroom and a sink. "Only in LA" and only at Teddy's can you find such a great spot with the tastiest birria and extra tortillas.I will be back for the torta and more of the consommé.Don't miss this, it's definitely worth the trip.“

“Nice little casual place to grab a bite. You order your food at the food truck window and can go into a separate building to sit down. Tacos were tasty and the best part was having different topping options, a couple salsas, pickled onions, Cilantro, Radish, cucumber etc. We were on our way from Orange County up to the Bay Area and wanted to eat quickly to keep driving. Glad we stopped here as it was really close off the freeway.Carne asada and al pastor tacos were delicious. Also tried the suadero but they weren't really my thing. Would come again!“

“I’m here on a work trip and needed something in the area quickly.My previous career was in cheffing for 10 years so I have great Knowledge.Excellent foodExcellent serviceExcellent experienceThank you and don’t forget the tall Australian from Vancouver“

“First time here after a concert at Sofi. Food truck opened late so we were able to grab late dinner. Great service. Since we were first time customer, they let us try their popular item. Not sure what is called but it's a fried corn tortilla with refried beans and meat. It was amazing! Their salsa is also spicy and delicious. We got birrira tacos, which was good, and the burrito is packed with refries beans and meat. I'm very picky when it comes to beans but these were my favorite. It's gooey and soft and perfectly seasoned. Would come again if I'm ever back in town.“

“These are addictive, juicy tacos that when you eat, you have to hit the pause button on any other activity going on...they are just that mind blowing. Afterwards you'll be thinking, when can my stomach take some more because they're so overpowering you won't be able to shake them from your mind. A modest tent set up outside a convenience store, next to the "Mirror Motel" along a backstreet in the Watts neighborhood converts into a carnival of flavor at the weekends when Mathew starts cooking beef asada and birria stew and toasts up his tacos on the hot iron griddle. Here is the bonafide, authentic people's kitchen taste of Los Angeles, far from some gentrified, corporate chain, cookie cutter, sterile offering in Beverly Hills. These tacos filled with stew represent the way food is served at home, not a smorgasboard of menu choices, just a couple of things done well, consistently, and dependably. They represent the taste of the working masses of Los Angeles whose bloodlines in this city are long while weaving in influences from various Mexican regions. It doesn't get more rustic and truly delightful than Mathew's tent stall where the corn tortillas are dipped in stew juices to soften them up before they are toasted on the griddle. His vat of birria conjures up the warmth and depth of roasted onions, cinammon, chiles, and slow cooked meat that falls into shreds off your fingers as you slurp up the juices. At $1.50 a pop Mathew's tacos are overflowing with complex flavor and are sensually overwhelming. You can tease the palate with fresh radishes and a suite of fresh tomato salsas, pickled onion and chilli sauces set out to garnish the tacos. The backstreet experience is indelible from your mind. I'm dreaming of going back next weekend. Please bear in mind he's only open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday as I understand it.“

“In town from Texas, and these might be the best pastor tacos I've had in a very long time.. So good I came back the next day. Good prices, the red salsa is delicious, all the right condiments, cebolla, cilantro, rabano, ? the horchata was very refreshing, and they made our order super fast ? Def coming back on future trips to LA (AND THEYRE OPEN LATE!!)“

“they're just wonderful! i have been visiting bittiebitez for about a year and ive always been satisfied with the quality of their warm mini donuts. its so fun to watch the donuts fall into the fryer through the large glass window in the front of the truck. they're always so very nice here, i'm always so happy to stop by when they're in town. they post the truck schedule on their instagram every week, they're pretty mobile so they might even come by you! if you're looking for a fun pack of mini donuts for you or to share, this is the spot! delicious donuts and great value in larger quantities;)“

“This food truck is one of the best one's out in the streets of Vernon CA took my family and we love coming here the tacos dorados de camarón are on point the ceviche out of this world and my favorite are the tacos de camarón empanizado.... If you're around Vernon or hungover ....come Here .....“

“Literally the best taco truck on the westside. You can smell all the amazing smells as you're driving by. The prices are reasonable and the service is lovely. My only critique is that maybe they should consider adding some small chairs/tablesBut overall SO IMPRESSED with this taco truck. Their Birria is never super oily which is what I've noticed with other Birria places. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!“

“Good tortas I tried the torta cubana its was big and delicious i definitely coming back to tried a different torta only reason i give them 4 stars is because their salsas aren't spicy they need to incorporate jalapeños or chiles toreados.“

“Absolutely delicious and great service! You can pick two meats in a burrito which was music to my ears and my carne asada and el pastor burrito was amazing (and huge). If you are in the area, stop here, and apparently you can order ahead as well.“

“I stopped by this evening with my sister in law after a Dr. Appt down the street when putting gas I could smell the cooking. I ordered 3 tacos and champurado basic of asada my sister n law ordered 2 de tripas and 1 lengua and a large jaimica. Wow the food was really really delicious like it was made from your home kitchen very tasteful. The service was very fast and they were polite and helpful. I am definitely coming back even though I'm about 30 min away it's worth it. They are located on Redondo and Vermount Gardena.“

“I've been coming to this location for the past 6 years. Excellent customer service. Super nice and there Aguas Frescas are AMAZING!! Quesadillas are huge! Carne Asada is so flavorful! Delicious!! Definitely have to try them if you are in LA.“

“Their fried fish tacos are 10/10. The batter is perfect and it comes with avo, radish, and pickled carrots and cucumbers. I think it's better than Ensenada's on Artesia, and that place is already sets the bar high for me. Worth a visit and don't forget to give the fruta lady down the street some love too.“

“Amazingly delicious., not dry. Serve a good portion of berria no matter what you order. Offer free cup of consome while supply lasts. PRICES are lower than most. So worth it for the amount of birria you are served. Don't miss taco Tuesday tacos are $1.50“

“(Translated by Google) MA Diaz is very pretty. The breaded tostadas and tacos are super fresh and delicious. One hundred and past.(Original)MA Diaz es muy linda. Las tostadas y los tacos empanizados están súper fresh y ricas. Al cien y pasaditos.“

“I've had the pleasure of trying the ceviche tropical and ceviche de Miguelito. Both were tasty, however, there wasn't any mango in the tropical ceviche. I prefer the ceviche de Miguelito as it came with limes the few times I've ordered. I've also tried the shrimp and fish tacos, both were tasty! I prefer the fish taco, they have a great 2 taco for $7 deal that's great. One of these will fill you up, so two of them is a meal :) Ambience: Street parking only, they are on the side of a road. No outdoor seating, so feel free to text your order for pick up once they open! Service: The staff here are friendly and informative!“

“The Gorditas are made by hand and are very delicious they also have Menudo the only bad thing is they only open on weekends. But you won't regret coming here.Las Gorditas are handmade and very delicious. They also have Menudo. The only bad thing is that they are only open on weekends. But it is well worth the trip.“

“I almost don’t want to promote this place because it’s so good that I want to keep it to myself. That being said, Chef Francisco deserves all the praise he’s already received and more.The food here is one of the best example of fresh seafood you’ll find anywhere in California, let alone LA. Every dish is thoughtfully prepared, with nice additions and twists to make it interesting.The shrimp aguachile is something I would gladly eat every day, but the fresa ceviche is a dish I will randomly think about. Order both and enjoy, but try to keep it somewhat of a secret, ok? ?“

“Been a fan of Lechugas since 2011. If you're a fan of Mexican Seafood, you need to visit Lechugas. The tostada mixta is my favorite.. Super tasty, solid portion and modestly priced at $8. Still had enough for a Mexican soda or fish taco.“

“Me and my husband have been coming here since 2009 when we first started dating. We now live an hour away and still come to eat here! Only food truck I eat from. The owner is so happy all the time and best customer service ever! Thank you for the wonderful food.“

“If you're not here, then you're missing out! Had the burrito and the crispy tacos...and...man o man! Super delicious!!! I would have taken pictures, but the food was gone before I could post anything. The tacos were deliciously crispy, while the meat was marinated to perfection. The garnishes on the side, cucumbers, and radishes, were the perfect addition to my meal. Ordered three of these bad boys with a side of Mexican Coke. Pure cane sugar is so much better than High fructose corn syrup. My wife had the burrito. It was juicy, had all the right seasoning, and fell apart like any delicious burrito should.. Also, I said delicious a ton of times. Because it is! It's delicious!!!“

“(Translated by Google) Exquisite I recommend them and you host them on top of the tacos if you ask for them and consume the delicious birria for free when hungry or raw I recommend these tacos mmmmmm delicious ?(Original)Exquisitos se los recomiendo y le hechas huestes encima d los tacos si los pide y consume gratis d la birria riquísimos cuando con hambre ho crudo t recomiendo estos tacos mmmmmm deliciosos ?“

“On our way home from the Youtube theatre we stopped by for midnight munchies. I ordered the al pastor burrito with everything included and I added my hot salsa from the several bowls they had available. The burrito was a good size and the meat wasn't dry and had a good flavor. They have tables and chairs available so you can enjoy your food right there in the parking lot. They also have a restroom which is a major plus.“

“I’ve been going with Los Cuates since they were serving out of their home kitchen. They haven’t lost a stepped! Todo está delicioso! Pozole blanco, taquitos, las tostadas, el mole… uff!! Everything is simply delicious! We drive from the IE for them whenever we can! Highly recommended!“

“This place right here ! Man look! I just moved here to California from Kansas, been looking all over for some REAL BBQ. Been craving it like crazy and couldn’t find none. I happened to be in LA today. Was hungry and knew I would find a spot here. Lo and behold , boom! RIB TOWN BBQ!!! Ayyy look I still can’t find me socks ! The Ribs were delicious the brisket was delicious. Potato salad, and beans! I will definitely be back! Oh and the people that there were too tier as well!! I felt like I was at home! Anyway yall keep doing yall thang! I’ll fasho he back!!“

“Some seriously good tacos! Ordered the Al Pastor and Carne Asada. The Asada were good but nothing to write home about, but the Al Pastor was delish! Served with a thin slice of pineapple, a side of the freshest lemons, onions & cilantro, and sliced radishes. The Al Pastor is tasty and even better with a squeeze of lemon! The truck has friendly employees serving up their tacos and taking orders. They accept Apple Pay, credit cards, debit and cash. Though the tacos are priced right at under $3.00. They also set up a few tables and chairs so you can sit and enjoy. And unlike many taco trucks, the tables are regularly cleaned down and they had a sunshade tucked to the side of required! I'll be back to try the Vampire Taco and California Burrito for sure!“

“Great burger ... really great. Sadly, it's overpriced for what you get. It's a thing I would only get if the line was non-existent. Standing in a long line for an overpriced burger is over-rated.The fries are spectacular. They are cooked in beef tallow...like McDonalds did back in the day.“

“(Translated by Google) This chin.... they just need to add a little more sauce, which they don't even give for a bite, but the food is a lot... RECOMMENDED...(Original)Esta chin.... solo les falta dar un poco más de salsa la que dan ni para un bocado, pero la comida chingo... RECOMENDADO...“

“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.“

“Best taco truck in the game! Great service! everyone is always kind and has a great attitude, parking is always easy, tables outside to sit down if you want and the tacos are always served with great sides and it's delicious all together“

“This food truck is one of my favorite mariscos in LA. Their fish ceviche is always fresh and delicious. I work a couple of blocks from them and I like to buy lunch there at least 3 times a week since I'm always trying to avoid eating fast food and It has helped me loose some weight overtime. I've tried almost all mariscos restaurants in the area and they (and their parents food truck) are the only one that have consistently fresh fish ceviche every time I go.“

“(Translated by Google) The best Tejuino you can try and the Mangoniadas are well reported. "Tejuino con Hielito" is the Best ✌(Original)El mejor Tejuino que puedes probar y las Mangoniadas están bien reportadas. "Tejuino con Hielito" is the Best ✌“

“Thee best carnitas in Watts and possibly all of south central. As a person who grew up with a grandfather that was a master in the craft of making carnitas Michoacan style, this place hits a close second as far as best carnitas. Carnitas are flavorful and juicy, the salsas are some of the best that I have had. They also give you pickled jalapeños,habaneros, onions, and cucumbers.“

“One of my favorite Marisco Spots for years. Top notch toppings for a coctel. Fish ceviche is a must try overloaded with avocado of course. Sometimes "real crab tostada" is on the menu, if it's there go for it! Oysters are always fresh...I think they are Blue Point Oysters.“

“This is one of the best places in town. There is no easier better food than the güero Truck Is delicious and clean. You can also order ahead of time so you have to do is go and pick it up if you want it to eat it at home work or even take it to the beach that plays rocks“

“(Translated by Google) Too delicious, ????the owner is very attentive and the food is the best, I loved the sushi and the tacos and the burritos, everything is worth what it costs ❤️❤️❤️❤️ you won't regret it(Original)Demasiado delicioso, ????el dueño es muy atento y la comida es la mejor, me encanto el sushi y los tacos y los burritos todo vale lo que cuesta ❤️❤️❤️❤️ no se van arrepentir“
