“Authentic flavors and juicy meat! Tacos Al Pastor serves up perfectly seasoned tacos with fresh toppings. Quick service and great value — a must-try for taco lovers.”

Simple but done right! Friendly service and the little seating at the back adds to the vibe. The green and red sauces were divine. I recommend the lengua tacos and beef nachos. Let me add that taco is only $2.50 each (except camaron and pescado)..

This place is literally a few Mexicans making tacos in a shack. They make the best tacos in LA, hands down. I go here every time I come to the city.

I drove by this place for years without ever stopping which is a shame, because I was depriving myself of the best breakfast burrito I've ever had. Order it with chorizo and green salsa- it's perfect.

Excellent no nonsense tacos, burritos, and more. Fast and delicious. Also had their carne asada fries and there was more on the fries than their were fries. Highly recommend if you want authentic and tasty Mexican food. They also have menu do on Sunday which is nice

While Tacos Al Pastor is the stalwart, unfussy Mexican restaurant in their local neighborhood. Tacos Al Pastor's hamburger needs to be highlighted. They make an absolutely killer LA style smash-burger. It might be easy to skip this item on their menu, but you would be missing out. It's worth a go and you won't be disappointed.

Very good tacos , the cabeza was ok but the pastor and lengua were very good, so are the fries. Their seating in the back hut was nice overall it's a great place btw they accept debit just incase you're wondering

Friendly folks behind the counter. Good torta, not great, but not bad at all. Good bread, but tastes more like a hamburger bun than what I am used to. Good homemade Pina!

Being from NY, my bucket list included having authentic street tacos 🌮 in LA. Driving along Santa Monica Blvd I spotted Tacos Al Pastor and made the precison U-turn. $1.25 fresh tacos of all kinds!! (beef, pork, chicken, sausage, fish...) I ordered three and grabbed a seat in the back area. A squeeze of Lime and several hot sauces from the cooler topped off these delicious tacos. Totally recommended for a quick bite. Legit!

The Care Asada was the best in my opinion but the other choices of meats were also 😋

I got the carnitas tacos and the California Burrito and noticed that the meat in all items were on the dry side. The pick de gallo was also a bit dry, if that makes any sense. I did like the California Burrito which is a regular burrito with French fries in it! This might be available at many other places but it was my first and I liked it. I might go back to try the breakfast burritos but not terribly keen on the tacos so far.

Not bad, but not the best either. A bit odd. I got the asada burrito based off other reviews, but I wouldn't recommend it. Maybe they accidentally gave me the wrong one, but it's the first time I've had carne asada that felt more like ground beef instead of some kind of steak.

Went in decided to try their al pastor quesadilla with pineapple and I must say that I was not impressed with it. It was missing so much flavor and the al pastor meat was kind of dry. Not to mention that the lettuce looked old (brown) on the edges. What surprised me was that their FDA grade was an "A" for a restaurant with those kind of prices and quality? Don't think so.

First of all I'm a new customer, decided to try their tacos. I got 4 tacos @ 2.50 each pastor & asada I got very little meat & I got 2 salsas and a bag of skimpybag of lemons and chips! I paid almost 11 dollars for 4 tacos, that's pretty pricey compare to other places. I CAN LITERALLY GET 4 FOR 6 at my local food truck. The fact that When I asked for more salsas they had the odacity to ask me for 50cents each salsa. So of course I completely responded to " ITS JUST SALSA" HE THEN proceeded to ask me for him to add the salsas himself. I don't understand why I couldn't get extra salsa for my 2 other tacos to add to my liking, if they add it themselves what's the difference??!! So I proceeded to get my tacos with salsas added on their behalf & while I appreciate them adding it...I would have enjoyed my tacos adding my salsas to my liking!🙃 Customer service was back, tacos where a 5 out of 10 & honestly I will NEVER COME back! If salsas is to much to ask for when I'm paying 11 for 4 tacos & get charged additionally that's a sign of stinginess. I've had waaayyy better tacos al pastor down the street. BAD FIRST impression!
