Ave 26 Tacos

Wonderful taco stand located right outside a Vons in the Eagle Rock area. Delicious tacos with a DIY salsa / toppings bar and some of the friendliest folks you will ever meet to help you. I came on a weeknight so the place wasn't very busy at all. It was a really chill vibe and I was able to order pretty much right away. There was some street parking in plenty of lot parking. I've been to their other location before and I really loved it. This one feels a little different in the fact that there's probably less traffic that comes through here. (Maybe it's different when it's not on a weekend)I came here specifically for the short rib tacos. Got a couple of the short rib tacos and a chicken taco. Just note that the short ribs are bone in and they come atop of a tortilla so when you're eating these tacos, you just have to be mindful of the bone. After the DIY toppings/salsa bar, I enjoyed my tacos and thought they were very flavorful. The overall meal was very reasonable as well and would definitely be on my rotation if I lived closer to this area.

I first tried to visit the Eagle Rock location, but surprise--it was closed. No notice about it on their Yelp page or website, which was frustrating. So, we made our way to the Little Tokyo spot instead.At first glance, the entrance gave off vibes of a low-budget rave party--not what I was expecting, but kind of funny. Quick note: they only serve tacos, quesadillas, and burritos here, plus a complimentary potato (which is a nice touch, and the "potato guy" is super friendly).Prices are reasonable--$2.25 per taco and around $12 for burritos and quesadillas. The service is fast, and the selection of meats is pretty standard.The food was good, but the location is too far for me, and honestly, it's not worth the effort to make the trip again.

This taco stand is just ok. Located by Vons on Figueroa near Colorado Blvd. Ave 26 Tacos made a name for themselves years ago - once known for delicious and affordable tacos in town. Back then, the lines were insane at the "original location" in Lincoln Park's "Ave 26". Considered a destination late night street taco spot. The "original location" is long gone. However, there are still a couple locations left that I know of: this one in Eagle Rock and Little Tokyo on Alameda. They are open late and 7 days a week. Overall, I thought this stand was mediocre and left disappointed. I got: *Carne Asada -BLAND, no taste. *Al Pastor - chopped up pork and no pineapple. tasted exactly like the Asada, very mild or bland. There was a vertical spit (Trompo) but they don't freshly slice it from there. Maybe it was there for just display; idk. *Suadero- the best one; decent not great. *The salsas (red and green) were good and not spicy, so it's ideal for non-spicy eaters. Maybe Ave 26 was great before (pre-covid), but they lost their magic touch. Not a fan.

Ave 26 is a must when you're out in LA and craving tacos. The line can get extremely long but it moves super fast. They are assembly line style and move super efficiently. The staples like pastor and asada are fantastic here but you always have to grab some cabeza(head) or lengua(tongue) tacos as well. Don't by shy. Pro tip grab the grilled onions, grilled peppers, and a potato at the end of the meats section. This taco stand is located in an LA parking lot and nothing beats the vibe standing around in a circle eating with friends after a night out.

Right next to the Vons grocery store here. We got 5 tacos and one quesadilla for $25. They're fast and at the time of our visit, some used gloves and some didn't. It's a street taco stand so just understand that for your cleanliness comfort level. No issues for us on this visit. The tacos, albeit small were plentiful in meat. We tried to the asada, chorizo, al pastor, cabeza and tripa. All were good. The quesadilla, we added chorizo and al pastor which was also tasty. There are large buckets for all the condiments, avocado, green, and red salsa along with limes, chopped onions/cilantro, and radishes. You can ask them for grilled onions by the grill too. Overall we had a positive experience and will likely be back!

I'm a big fan of Ave 26 tacos! I normally go to the Little Tokyo location, but this one is closer to home. They were kind enough to give us a sample of the ribs since we've never had it before and it was really good!We paid $25 for 11 tacos! So much meat and plenty of self serve toppings and sauces as well. You can also buy drinks too. They take cash or Zelle at this location. You can park the plaza with the grocery store and the taco area is on the sidewalk. There's a big red truck so you can't miss it!

Late night tacos near the arts district. Heavily guarded w security inParking lot. Lots of spots and people eating at their cars. No tables available. Not the friendliest workers but at $2.50 a taco its ok. The service is slow, not sure why but again for the price!!! We had Pastor and Lengua. They give you meat on small tortillas. Street taco style. Pay then get your own toppings and salsas. Not cleanest area for adding toppings but for the price!! Its ok. The setting is a temporary set up in a parking lit next to a parking structure. I do recommend tacos here. Great for late night hunger!! They offer quesadillas also.

This is my favorite taco stand to grab tacos and they're open late too.You start by telling the cooks what you would like to order and they will help assemble the meats into your tortillas as a taco or burrito. Afterwards, you would pay the cashier. My favorite meats are the al pastor and Suadero because the meats are flavorful and juicy. After you paid for your food, you can grab the toppings and condiments. There are also aqua frescas that you can purchase, my favorite is the pineapple which is light and refreshing.There are no tables so we put our plates of food on top of the car trunk and ate.

Heard positive things about this chain (on social media and reviews) so I just had to try it out. I usually order from taco trucks, so the ordering process was a little confusing. It seems like you have to tell the cooks your order then bring it to the center to pay. Then from there, there's a table for self-serve condiments. I didn't notice any menu listing prices, but it seems like tacos go for $2 each.The tacos itself were good, but it didn't stand out from other places I've been to. There's ample parking but no tables, so be prepared to eat at your car. I wouldn't go out of my way to try the place again, but if I were around the area I guess I could give it another shot.

This is my local taco stand and it's firmly mediocre. Meats are mostly pretty dry and fatty, the best is the carnitas but they were all out last time I visited. Also they have an al pastor trompo, but I never see them slicing off it during service? Pretty surly service too. The salsas are pretty good and self serve so that's one thing.I go here because it's close but I can't really recommend it, 5/10 tacos and burritos.
