Tacos Chapulin Los Angeles Reviews
These are probably the best street tacos I have ever had!!! I am vegetarian and they had taquitos de nopal (cactus tacos!). It was delicious with corn tortillas. My roommate and I were hungry after yoga class and we were absolutely blown away!! Even my dog was excited for a nibble🐕
This stall has great tacos, with many parts of thé meat selections. A lot of free condiments to add to your order also.
I've had this twice and Brothers Cousins 3 times in the last couple weeks. And I have to say I prefer Tacos El Flaco. They're both great, but this place was just a bit more of everything. Tortillas just a touch softer, a bit more meat and a bit more tender. I suggest the al pastor and brisket. Can't go wrong and try for yourself.
Absolutely my go to taco/mulitas place, well stocked salsa/salad selection! Highly recommended!
This taco stand is right in front of Mitsuwa. Waited in line for the tacos and I got all lengua tacos. What I love about this place is you can add your own toppings to your taco. The prices for the food is so cheap too! The lengua here is so soft and delicious. Really love this spot!
The best taco stand in town!!! $1.25 per taco and $7 per burrito!
This is by definition a neighborhood secret, authentic Street Tacos without leaving the neighborhood. The best thing about them they're inexpensive, well cooked and very tasty.
Decent street side tacos, very flavorful but the meat can be thinner
It's reasonably priced and delicious.
Fresh onion and cilantro. Great salsa options. Quick service

I'm a believer, their tacos and quesadillas are fire!!
This is my local go to. I’ve been coming here for almost 3 years, dozens of times in that span. The staff is always friendly, and the food is amazing. I’ve taken so many people here, and they all want to come back whenever they’re in the area. I’m an Al pastor person, always - and theirs is stellar (you have to ask for pineapple, normally). The burrito is $10 (went up about 6 months ago) and it is huge. Their salsas are flavorful as well.
Best burrito I’ve ever had
I see them all the time, but never had the energy or will to stop. Until two nights ago. So delicious! Got one chicken, one pork, and one beef. After inhaling them, I instantly regretted not getting more. I couldn't even pick a favorite meat if you asked. I generally lean towards beef and away from chicken..... But everything was so tasty.
Delicious tacos. We often CRAVE the carne asada and the al pastor. Lucky that they're open on the later side. We've even had these tacos for "dessert!" After a disappointing meal, we'll go for these to clean the palate! Great place. They take Venmo.
The staff was very friendly. Service was excellent. The food was delicious 😋 Definitely visit this spot if you’re nearby and hungry!
Fire burrito and tacos. $2 taco. $10 burrito and quesadillas. I’d come back it’s on the side walk of the cvs and mitsuwa. There’s a chase bank as well and they take zelle.
Honestly, this one of the best taco spots in town… everything is a hittttt
Green sauces are so good wish I smothered my tacos in them but I was on the go. Meat was super flavorful and juicy. I tried brisket, steak, and pork. Pork is very flavorful so if that’s not your thing I would stick to the steak. I want to try the burrito and have my tortillas little extra toasted next time.

Great food and friendly people! Chicken quesadilla and carne asada burrito were both excellent

had a burrito here in the summer that changed my life. visited again this holiday season and went back, of course. the al pastor is so delicious, and i love the way they melt the cheese on the flat-top and grill it right into the tortilla… so perfect!
I do recommend trying out their Al pastor quesadilla with their red salsa.

okay tacos, but expect to get your order deprioritized if you don’t speak spanish / aren’t mexican. they will very happily skip you if hispanic customers come after you. surprised to see this in LA. used to be a regular but got tired of seeing the disrepect. even the hispanic customers who watched me get skipped were shocked and gave me apologetic looks.
