50 Best Taco Restaurants near Sherman Oaks

“This will be the third time we have used Nana's Kitchen. So clearly, we love what they do. The food is fantastic, a step up from your normal taco caterer, and we loved the passed appetizers while the guests were arriving. They set up a beautiful buffet spread and used gorgeous bowls. Everything was fresh and delicous. They homemade the tortillas and served delicious guacomole, again homemade. The servers were ontime, self sufficant and cleaned up after themselves. They boxed up all of the leftovers for us which was really nice.The only negative I could find, and you just need to know, is that beyond the food/catering fee (minimum of $650 for 40 people) they charge a travel fee, a convenience fee to use a credit card, and a 18% service fee which is NOT gratuity. So ontop of the food, you will need to expect to pay about 40 % more on the charges (your own tip to the servers, their 18% service fee and travel fee and of course tax). They are transparent about it, but something you should know. With that being said, I would still use them again.“

“Came solely for the Al Pastor tacos and they were chef's kiss! CASH ONLY. Located in the parking lot by the gas station. A few parking spots available. No restrooms available (even in the gast station) You order your tacos at a smaller stand and then stand in another line to the food truck window to get your salsas and toppings (which are all pre-packaged) A couple of standing tables next to the taco truck for eating as well. The al pastor was juice yet tender, I always love the sweet pineapple component and then the avocado salsa was very good. The green salsa had a good kick and the red salsa had a slight smokiness to it. I dress my taco up with all the fixings so I liked the raw onions and pickles onions they offer too. Will be back!“

“Great Birria Ramen. Loved that I could order it online and it was ready for me by the time I showed up. It was easy to find parking, and I loved having the option to sit there too. Did I mention that the Birria Ramen was great. Totally will go back“

“Just stumbled onto this place, what a Mexican taco place should be. A simple hole in the wall with some phenomenal excellent food. Coming from a Mexican I will tell you that this is good authentic Mexican food. Their tacos are Stupendous‼️ Best place for Mexican food on Melrose.“

“Must try if you are looking for delicious authentic birria. It's a cute-humble family owned establishment that serves very tasty dishes. My favorite was the consomé with tacos dorados. I do wish they had a spicier red sauce but overall was great. It hit the spot on a Sunday afternoon. I especially liked the fact I could dine-in instead of the typical food truck. I can't wait to come back and try more items. Thank you familia Castro.“

“I came to La for the weekend and was looking for a taco spot to eat. The family and I tried taco guelaguetza and it was delicious and the workers were nice. I bought 22 tacos and 3 large horchatas and 3 medium horchatas for under $60 and they don't charge extra for special meats like cabeza or Lengua like the sf Bay Area. I was very happy and we will definitely be back every time going to La“

“The restaurant is the best. One of a kind menu. The chef do this weird but really creative culinary plates that doesnt make sense, you cant even imagine how it will taste, but i know for sure it will be really boom. You will be fascinated. I am an honest and serious customer. Although the place its just a little small and i will change it to 5 star once i think it deserve it. In my opinion. Customer service really good. Security, bartenders as well do their job as it should be. Just the small room doesnt make me go up to 5 star, but we'll see sometime.“

“This was easily one of the best dinner experiences of my entire trip to California.The queue is long, but who cares? Just stand in line and salivate at the thought of insane tacos, or perhaps a stupidly large burrito that can feed a family of three. Or you know, just get there earlier. The servers were super cheery and helpful as well, which is always a pleasure.The food is so flavourful, it even managed to retain its flavour when cold! Did I mention the food is amazing? It's amazing.“

“Very good salsa selection, which generally correlates to pretty good food (as in this case). Had the Roadside Burrito with fish and it was excellent. Family had the the hot chicken tacos, chicken jalisco tacos, and fish and shrimp tacos. All were very well received. I'd definitely check this place out if I were in the area. Miles better than anything near Universal.“

“So delicious!! Great value, really affordable, lots of toppings :))) 10/10!! Really going to miss la tacos!All the options are super fresh and full of flavor! The mango salsa and sauces are fantastic. Made our night!Ps: they have a seating area“

“The food was very good. My favorite thing was the spicy Pescado tacos. The chorizo scramble on toast was not as good as I was hoping it would be, but I did love the mimosa option with a flight of juices to kind of make your own mimosa. got there fairly early so there weren't many people and there, so the noise level was low and the atmosphere there is very charming and warm..“

“We liked it a lot! I went with my family, and all the dishes we ordered were very well served and delicious. We ordered birria, a fish fillet, some tacos, chicken fajitas and Menudo. Excellent service and the place is very cozy.I highly recommend this place!!“

“Really impressed with the food at this restaurant.. great flavors and simple menu items. I was a huge fan of the red salsa .. will definitely be asking for a bucket next of it next time. Fair warning the "black" salsa is HOT.. use with caution. Can't say much about the ambience since I ordered take out but the location is super cute! Lots of window shopping around the area.“

“The place is beautiful and the food was delicious. However, the service was not good, the male waiter at the registration desk was a bit rude and I think he is a racist. He let white people in first even though they arrived later than you and only acted friendly to them.“

“Tasted amazing, the food came out great a bit spicy but blended out well, the workers and costumer service was also excellent they treated us kindly. I would definitely recommend eating here food doesn't take that long to come out everything is homemade 10/10 recommend. The ambiance is nice they have outdoors and indoors unfortunately no restrooms but seating is easy to get.“

“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.“

“I saw this place and thought it had a nice view from the street over to the ocean so I figured I would eat there. I honestly thought it would be a tourist trap type restaurant because of the location, however, it turned out to be amazing food. I ordered iced tea, which had a lovely and fresh taste to it, not like it came out of the can. Guacamole fresh salsa is fresh, and I ordered fried snapper fish tacos were excellent. The rice was also good, being very flick as opposed to just plain tasting rice. I was pleasantly surprised at the service was excellent. I would highly recommend this restaurant.“

“The food here is unmatched. The best tacos and salsa around by far. The service? Not super amazing, but it made for a more intentional dining experience, and I don't mind that. Truly though, the steak tacos set a new bar for me. Amazing work in the kitchen. Great cocktails too!“

“Daaaaang! This food was delicious! We stopped by after a long hike, purchased the OG Plate which has mostly everything they serve. And devoured it! The consome was awesome as well! Dip everything in it!? Then we washed it down with a refreshing hibiscus drink! Will be back for the burrito!“

“Found this place last minute and so glad I did. They accept card/tap pay which saved me. They were super nice and efficient. The food? PHENOMENAL. Will be coming back more often. Fresh made tortillas. The meat was seasoned and delicious. Fire fire fire. ?“

“This place is my to go place for tacos n Asada nachos I don't go anywhere else around my area they are delicious specially their Salsa so good... Service is great they try n go as fast as they can not much of an ambiance since its a food truck i grab my food n go“

“As a self proclaimed taco connoisseur I’m happy to report these tacos are some of the best I’ve gotten. I got two of the mushroom ones and they were incredible on God I inhaled them. Service was also great all the workers were really funny and nice and the atmosphere was good too the shop is right on the street which makes it great for people watching ??? 10/10 would take the bus for 30 minutes to eat here againVegetarian options: On God bro as a vegetarian I know how hard it is to find good meatless options and this place DID NOT DISAPPOINT the mushroom tacos were ??????“

“This is the go to taco spot. I been coming here for a while now and they never disappoint. I tried their Carne asada tacos, asada quesadillas and asada burrito. The way they season the Carne asada is delicious and the red sauce that they give is the perfect combination. They now accept credit card but they charge a small fee if you use that. You can still pay cash or zelle if you don't want to use your credit card. The staff are very friendly and the guy working as the cashier is awesome. My wife also loves their food as well.Parking: They are on Balboa and Nordhoff, more toward the back of Burger kings so there parking spots there.Kid-friendliness: This place is kid friendly but they are near the main street of Nordhoff so just keep an eye on them.“

“Great dining experience!!! Great tasting food, we had sea bass with the shrimp skewers, we loved the food. Sides of zucchini, rice & slaw were great. Fantastic service by Adela and Danny. Both were very friendly and very helpful!!! Thank you both. Will be back soon.“

“The food is great but make sure to order chips/guac to share because the taco size is all over the place but with chips (theirs are good) you'll end up perfectly full. The whole thing is outside so dress accordingly. Ceviche tostada is standout, as are the churros (they come with 2 little ones to an order).“

“I’ve been looking for a delicious torta for a long time and I finally found the place! If you like fresh delicious food this is the place. The service is excellent, they answered all my questions and explained their menu. I created my own sandwich with some recommendations from Johnathan who was awesome. This is by far the best torta I’ve ever had! It was so good I was back a couple days later for another! Wifey ordered tacos and they were amazing as well. The flavor and freshness of the meat is what sets them apart. No old meat being served here. Definitely my go to spot for delicious fresh food!“

“Real Mexican cuisine!!! Despite the fact that the place looks very “simple,” the guys cook truly delicious Mexican food. I work nearby and it seems to me that I have already tried everything!! Favorite - casadilla with chicken and avocado?“

“Hands down best burrito(American style) in the valley. The soup is a hidden gem as well, I would say it is one of the best things on the menu, no matter what you get atleast get it on the side. Owner is also very nice, polite and professional to everyone. This place is small but he made sure that everyone was taken care of personally and had everything they needed and keeps the place running on a tight ship. Worth a try no matter what.“

“Tacos are delicious. Love the options they have. I will suggest getting the sampler order to see which tacos you like the most. All their tacos are really good, but my favorite is chicharron, bistek en salsa roja, calabacitas, and chile relleno. The agua fresca de melon is really good, too. Don't forget to request salsa on the side. It is really good and spicy.“

“I really enjoyed my visit here again. I came back 2 years after my first time here to take a photo by the boat. The bartender, Mikey, was absolutely amazing and really knowledgeable about tequila. He knew a lot about the drinks and he made some really nice cocktails for me and my friends. I will totally come back next time I am in Santa Monica!“

“LOOOOOOOVE this truck!!! Srsly the best tacos around, can't recommend enough. If I could go there every day and give it 10 stars I would. It's such a treat, those tacos are stuffed full of meat and the chips are fantastic. Super friendly people, and perfectly placed outside of NoBar“

“I attend a family gathering, they served food from HomeState that was so delicious, I just had to write about it. A pre-order for 2 dozen tacos, tortilla chips and toppings was served. The tortillas were handmade and filled with a variety of protein, cheese and beans. Each was individually wrapped in foil and clearly labeled for your convenience. The food has a "Texas" flair to it, featuring brisket, pinto or black beans, diced potatoes, pickled red onions, Pico de Gallo, and vegetarian options too. I chose the "Don't Mess with Texas" soft taco. It was filed with Charro beans, bacon, potatoes and cheddar cheese. You can also buy a dozen flour tortillas as a side and save them for the next day! So worth the price ($8 a dozen). They are open 7 days a week, for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Try them and you will want to go back for more. Don't forget to tell 'em that Rosemary sent ya!“

“Their food never disappoints. I go from the carne asada torta to the tacos and still can't decide which I like best. The meat, asada or carnitas, is always good and smells great and the beans and rice . Their salsas are really good. I always get this through Door Dash (had not idea it was a food truck) so if you order on there remember to add your request for the salsa.“

“If I can say something is …. The birria tacos and the side of consomé to die for!The tacos , yum, yum!!!!The torsta wow just delicious! We just ordered Uber eats from there and our kids and ourselves love it! We will order again in the near future!“

“Found this on a search, the food off the truck was off the chain. From tacos with guacamole plus everything else to vampiro the taste was delicious & authentic. As we drove up we witnessed customers eating on their vehicles, so when in Rome do as the Romans. I haven’t eaten on a car since my teenage years, and there I stood at 60 being the old wild one of the bunch. Excellent food, a must try for both residents & travelers!!!“

“After ordering here a few times I think the cooks need to learn that Mexican food is not soggy and wet. I don’t think I’ve ordered one thing from this place that didn’t fall apart on first pick up whether it tacos quesadilla burrito doesn’t matter, but I have to say the taste is good and the portion is good.“

“After Universal Studios we wanted to eat some tacos. We found this place. It was late and we where a group of 10. There was no room indoors since there's only booths inside so we sat outside in the patio area. The waitress was quick on bringing the outdoor heater to warm us up. We ordered tacos and a cup with corn on the cob. The food was authentic and tasted like it should :)“

“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!“

“Very impressed. Super clean. Super friendly staff. One of the better tacos I have ever had. Lot of varieties. Six different salsas. Unlimited side dishes free. fresh drinks. The meat was very juicy. We had carne asada and beef tongue and brisket and chicken.“

“To think I've waited over a year to try out this place and it didnt let down. Except for the taco cooker guy. He had a huge attitude when the lady told him he got our order wrong. Plus nowhere to really eat either. Other than that, it was great.Have to thank my lil brother for taking me today. :)“

“The crispy chicken tacos are soooo good! & I usually don’t like hard shell tacos. The service & staff is amazing, they really take the time to make sure everything you ordered is perfect, & if it’s not they don’t hesitate to correct it.“

“Delicious taco stand with meat being grilled in front of you. Service is super fast. They even sell tripas which is my favorite topping. Their al pastor is grilled on a stick and cut in front as well. The staff don't speak English well so be prepared to order in Spanish. It's about $3 per tacos. I had some tacos with cheese so those a little more pricey. I will definitely come back.“

“I love this place, i come here everytime i’m in SM. I always order sweet and sour tacos, they’re delicious, i like them so much that i made all my friends try it.i tried cocktails and mocktails as well and they’re delicious,The only thing i was really upset about was how filthy the restrooms were.I think it is very mandatory to keep that space as clean as possible, after i went to wash my hands i was literally so grossed out that i didn’t really want to eat anymore.“

“Best tacos burritos... ever! Even the tacos in Mexico don't compare and LA has great tacos to begin with so that's saying something. I just wish the horchata wasn't so sweet but it's okay I take it home and add milk to it.“

“Phenomenal!! The burritos have the perfect ratio of meat to beans/rice. Genius portions of Avocado comes in the burrito at no additional charge. The tortillas are handmade and perfection. They're so fluffy and soft they almost taste like tamale texture. The carne asada street tacos are delicious. They have a table with togo ramekins where you can load up on several different homemade salsas/sauces and garnishes. I highly recommend the avocado tomatillo cream sauce! Coming from near the border of Mexico in Texas, I'm picky about my Mexican cuisine as I know what traditional should be, and this spot checks all the boxes!“

“Hey you guys I'm back with another review. Los Gatos Tacos was very much on point. Yall know I like delivery too so this time I ordered delivery. The driver did pissed me off because they sat my food in front of the door with no call or knock, but I was eyeing the app because I was hungry. It was around 730/8pm on a Saturday when I ordered. Anyway it arrived still hot and ready to eat. I spent like 60.00. I got the 3 queso birria tacos with the consome 3 asada tacos, the birria quesadilla and the tapatio birria ramen. It was so delicious you guys I dipped the tacos in the consome and it was ?... the ramen was very good the birria was seasoned very well. I almost drank all the consome ? ? had to save some for my kid, so I suggest if you like dipping and sauce like me get extra consome for sure. I will be dining in this restaurant very soon.“

“I have been following tacos 1986 on Instagram (joy tostada) and have been wanting to try his tacos. we planned a family vacations to California to try their tacos and they did not disappoint. Tacos were DELICIOUS!! and the staff was very friendly. We even came in more than once to eat. Highly recommend it.“

“There aren't many plant-based options. Their grilled zucchini is very good, and I highly recommend it! My family loves the fish tacos and pasta! I don't recommend the clam chowder. Overall, good food, but I wish there were more plant-based options!“

“The bread was ok. I only came here for the bread because I wanted to make a tamale sandwich with a bread ??. I would of fried it but I couldn't. I love eating a crispy fried tamale but most or almost all places do not do it or sell it. I do not know if I am the only one that does this. But i like eating my tamales in a bread as a sandwich fried and crispy. The bread here was good. The bread was a little bit small. I have bought bread in other places and they are a bit bigger.“
