Taco King!

wait its King Taco lol

Don't eat @ King Taco.
They cook their food off-site and ship it to each King Taco in bags.
I found this out after I got very sick from eating a Carne Asada Burrito early last month.
I will never ever eat there again.

Not a taco shop, a taco truck...

Taco Zone, it parks outside the Vons supermarket on Alvarado St in Echo Park every night starting around 7pm. I give it my highest possible endorsement.

maps.google.com

Get the Al Pastor tacos.

boo... titos tacos in culver city. lucys across the street. taco king rocks. acosta in inglewood. or if u are on a late night rush hit up one of the trucks.

Are these Taco places like SD Taco places?

I mean after living in SD i was astonished to find out places in LA and SF put shit like rice, beans, and cheese in their shit. What the hell is that?

I was talking mainly about carne asada burritos.

Plus the taco sauces take like shit compared to SD taco places.

AS you all can see. I'm serious about my mexican food.

Lucy's is now called Cinco De Mayo...I actually prefer their tacos to Titos. I live 3 blocks away from there.

Also, there's a chain of places called Campos. They have good tacos too.

Good luck! I'm 100% Mexican, raised and born in the TACO CAPITOL Of the world... MEXICALI!!! And quite honestly, I still havent found a freakin' awesome authentic taco shop in LA or OC. Some fellow DJ's and my self have even gone on TACO HUNTS and haven't found them yet.

But if you ever venture over to TIJUANA, Tacos El Guero at the end of Revolution and Tacos El Gordo on Zona Rio are THE BEST!!! There's even a few TACOS EL GORDO in San Diego. Hehehe

www.lataco.com my boy hadley has had a taco from almost every fancy boutique and ghetto taco cart in the greater la.
if you're in west la, don antonios has pretty decent $1 tacos on wednsdays. sharkies has taco deals on thursdays (i think)

I got one word for you... Brave!

taco bell there authentic they have a chijujua in there comercials. =)

King Taco, Tito's, man it's been a minute. That sounds so good.

Taco's De Anda in orange, off the 55fwy and Chapman. That place is the SH!T!!!! Albertaco's in Mission Viejo. try the Cali Burrito.

iheard taco bell is getting breakfast food soon. we have a place called taco john's in WI and their breakfast is too good.

Taco Bell has Breakfast food Again. Pretty damn good too

Tito's is my shit!!!

Woody I dont see how you havent found a good taco stand considering most of the cooks at some of these places are straight from Mexico.

^^^^ ain't that the truth.

I hit up one of those Mexican Grocery stores and hit the grill runnin.. Damn those tacos end up so damn yummy... Better than what I have ever paid for. Get the real guac, the sour cream, and the meat is already prepped...

Word. that is good Too KaGen. I havent done that for a minute either!!!! This thread is making me hungry!

and damn cheap too..... ya- I'm getting really hungry now.. Just made that stuff last week, it was the YUMS !!!

Damn i guess its a cali thing, ill stick to my pizza.

Do you fly from New Zealand to Echo Park for the Tacos? Baaaaallin!

Whatchuknow about the spot on Stadium way and Sunset?

Merced's - Autentica Comida Mexicana
1064 E. Broadway Ave - LONG BEACH, CA 90802
(562)569-9744
Good for take out, dine in is a little too cozy. Hands down best burritos, quesedillas and tortas around

Im down with King Taco lol...

Yes and no, I only moved to NZ 3 months ago, and tho I will be going to NAMM in a couple weeks, the real reason i'm going is for my tacos al pastor fix.



Are you talking about carneceria azteca, cuz yo, that place has the fucking marinated carne ready for the grill. I'm sayin. Plus the tamales there are the best in echo park. Serious, I'm gonna kidnap the old guy that works there and make him set up shop here in auckland.

^^ someone is on the know, fo reals. LOL

ROTFL!!!! hahaha go kidnap some Taqueros in TJ and take them with you! haha

I was down in Cancun last year, there was this hole in the wall joint off the main roads that was the shit. I was talking to the owner and was telling him to move shop to the states. He spoke almost perfect English and knew the lay of the land in Cali. He wasn't ready to move up there with his family. He no longer has a business in Cancun after that last hurricane... Everyday as I see a new restuarant open, I drive by just hoping it's named "SENOR TACO".

Ya wanna Taco Battle what!!?

The spot to lock this thread is El Tepeyac in East L.A.
Steak picado burritos, and the owner comes around with a bottle of Tequila to give out shots...

for breakfast!!!

Speaking of burritos (slight off topic), I like Albertos which they have several around Los Angeles area. As for fish tacos, I like Taco Nazos. Awesome.

taqueria de anda...all over OC...fullerton, anaheim, placentia, and other places. holla!

you're right on topic

Taqueria De Anda RULES!!! I have to second that recommendation.

Keep the info coming.
I'm taking notes.

Taqueria de Anda SUCKS!!!! Sorry, I can't stand that place. It's not real mexican food. It's ASSEMBLY LINE Mexican food. Don't get me wrong, when you're drunk, and it's 3am, it rules. Hahaha

Ths is the REAL MEXICAN TACOS!!! Woohoo

myspace-917.vo.llnwd.net

casa sanchez.... super nachos everything on it... LBC, Termino and I can't remember the cross street but there is a blockbuster on one corner and a KFC on the other corner

Dj Woody is not a real DJ!!! LOL J/K

Termino and Anaheim knew I'd remember

Woody, that picture just made me real hungry.
You suck.

another one if you're in costa mesa is el toro bravo...it's a hole in the wall but it's the best damn mexican food north of the border.

Thers also one in La Habra off Harbor and La Habra Blvd.I go there after work sometimes and I think its pretty damn good.
But closer to where I live you could try El Atacor.One in Pico Rivera off whittier Blvd and one off Norwalk and Washigton.
Theres a newer King Taco in Pico also but there burritos are too overpriced for the size that they are and the chile is good but to damn hot to even enjoy you food.LOL.I still keep eating though even if my mouth is on fire :)

But ya like Woody said,if you want Real Mexican food then you gotta go to Mexico

Filibertos or Filbertos in AZ. drive thru

Albert Tacos! in Cypress, very near cerritos... California Burrito is offf the chain! If you do make it out there, there is a little secret.. the carwash next door, has a place insude that makes even bomber California Burritos... DONT SLEEP...

a Bleezy, a california burrito, then the gig... get paid and do it all over...

What about Taco Beuno in TX? While I was stranded due to the Denver snow storm in Dallas a couple of weeks ago I ate that every day! Good as hell and cheap!!!

Oh yeah, I forgot! There is a taco truck that parks in front of Nishikawa (sp?) auto shop on Fair Oaks somewhere in Pasadena. Don't know where is the nearest cross street (maybe somebody knows?!) but they hang out there every nite real late and the tacos are tasty.

Cosign on El Tepeyac in East LA. It's on Evergreen, between Malabar and Winter. Order the Manuel's Special, and take 3 friends to help you out cuz that shit is like the size of 4 or 5 burritos and will cost you about 13 bucks. You'll take a mad dump afterwards, but well worth it. No runs, though.

Also...

Tacos El Gavilan in South LA. It's on the corner of Central and Washington. You can't miss it. The carne asada there is da shit, and the horchata is good too.

I was born and raised in LA, and I'm Mexican no less, so I know a good ass taco shop when I've eaten at one.

Peace...

Oops, sorry. El Tepeyac is between Winter and Blanchard.

El Triunfo in Anaheim on Lincoln, just west of Harbor. In Placentia, I highly recommend the al-pastor tortas at Tlaquepaque in La Placita Santa Fe. And I have no problem the Fullerton Taqueria de Anda. I dunno about the others but the Fullerton one's taco's are pretty legit.

And I don't know if it's still open but Ramona's The Spot on Olympic Blvd in Pico Rivera used to have really great food but was the greasiest, dirtiest, foulest looking hole-in-the-wall ever.

Hey, but what's the best really bad food in LA? OKI DOG! I'm showing my early punk rock roots but Oki-Dog was the SHIT after a show. What is an Oki-dog? A burrito filled with a hot dog, chili and shredded pastrami. So wrong it's right.

Ok Ok... The guy (Memo) that sells tacos Saturday nights outside of GRAND AVENUE Nightclub is the BOMB!!! Those tacos are freaking good. But I admit sometimes Memo is a hit and miss. Sometimes they don't taste the same, but most of the time his tacos and hotdogs are freakin' awesome!

I think all the fake Mexican restaurants are badly overrated. They're expensive, give you less amounts, and the quality is just "okay."

So skip all the Acapulcos, Rubio's, Tito's and El Cholos and just stick to the taco trucks and carts instead. Unless you're taking a girl on date.

Back in LA for the NAMM show. Went on a taco feeding frenzy yesterday. La Taquiza (30th and Figueroa) for breakfast... fresh off the plane. Dinner at El Compadre in Echo Park (#6 El Vagabundo and a couple margeritas). Hit the alvarado taco truck late last night after the bars. Now I am back to full strength and ready for battle.

^^ you best have plenty o matches for all the booty breeze you'll be making after eating all that madness....

Got any extra passes for the NAMM show?
(I will tell you where to find the best damn tamales,period.)

I'll have my mom make you some home made REAL CARNE ASADA tacos (grilled outside) for a NAMM Pass!!! hehehe

oh and did I forget to mention that she also makes the BOMB homemade CORN and FLOUR Tortillas, Kick ass guacamole, AND Salsa's are ACE!!! hehehe ;)

Woody: Tacos El Guero are the ish!!!!!!!!! EVERY time I go to TJ, my first or last stop is always there. Los tacos Al Pastor are the best!

King Taco or Rigo's Tacos are good, but vary from place to place. Also, in the San Fer Valley, El Taurino has great tacos de carnitas.

i actually favor Del Taco over Taco Bell.

Cosign, Mike. Del Taco uses real meat, whereaso Taco Bell's weird looking "meat" done gave me gas more times that I would like. Dare I say, Del Taco's tacos de al carbon are almost taco truck quality. Not bad at all!

taco bell uses grade D meat....pedigree, as in woof woof dog food, uses grade B meat...do the math.
