Come here for the large round table and the BYOB. food is a 7/10, I always get the OG hard shell taco + corn and leave happy (and with money leftover in my wallet!)

Holy Moses the pork belly tacos. Get them. So freaking good. Stick to your ribs good. Chips and guac is a little ridic at $8 but def a spot to check out. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Don't let the small quarters scare you away from one of the best taco stops in LA. My fave is the elotes (Mexican-style corn on the cob) + the Watermelon Agua Fresca is a must. It's also BYOB —Taylor

Super adorable spot and open 7 days a week! Cash only fyi. Pork chuleta tacos were bomb & I love the fresh crispy/chewy chips they give you!

The branzino is soooo good! Chips and guac, corn on a cob and the lobster taco🍴😋

I haven’t eaten better tacos for a very long time. Admittedly, it’s not a high bar to clear if you’re from Europe. But, I guess locals won’t be disappointed, either.

A bit pricey but their tacos are solid. Fried langostino taco was delicious

No beer or wine, but it's cool to bring your own! Pick up a six of your favorite Mex brew on your way in and dig into some Pork Belly tacos. 2 for $6.

The green chile nachos are delicious and cheaper than the chips and guac

BYOB and cash only at this obscure gourmet taco stand... Guac and salsa is simply the best there is!

Best tortillas and salsa I've ever had. Hole in the wall with amazing food.

This place is awesome

From Steven Arroyo, Esquela is a tiny spot with just 25 seats. If you like the scene ventures then you know what to expect: hip types enjoying small, flavorful dishes while talking very loudly.

my neighborhood spot...fish taco is the jam
Michael GalpertJanuary 15, 2012
