Tacos El Venado

The best tacos in town. It’s inexpensive and super tasty.

Tacos El Venado never disappoints. Though everything is truly delicious, their Al Pastor is unmatched. Their salsas can be a little bit on the spicier side for those who are sensitive to it, but if you are, I recommend the guacamole salsa as it is mild and creamy. Seeing as how they are open till 1:00 am most nights, it's an absolute great go-to for the neighborhood. They're usually quite busy, so be prepared to wait a little bit, which is a sign of it's success!

Hands down my favorite taco stand in all of LA.

I have been coming here for years ever since they were a small little stand just a block down the street and now they have multiple locations with giant setups. I knew they were going to be big.

Their al pastor is undefeated. I’ve tried all the so-called best taco stands in LA and I promise you nothing compares to Tacos El Venado. The meat they cook is so tender and flavorful, the prices are cheap, and the portions are gigantic.

You honestly cannot go wrong at this place. I’ve ordered burritos, tacos, quesadillas, and even tortas when they have it. They all exceed my expectations every time.

I will forever support Tacos El Venado.

2020.12-11/2000: It's not often that we eat dinner after 5 p.m. and today we ate lunch super early so we weren't hungry until after 8 p.m. Every time we have passed by, there's always a huge line. Since the Santa Anna winds and the cold weather is here, it used it to our advantage. No wait!

Their tacos were delicious! We had carne asada and al pastor tacos, a queso taco and a couple of mulitas. Holy moly! The meat was juicy, moist and flavorful in whatever we chose. The flavor was definitely there. I don't know what cheese they use in their mulitas but it's INCREDIBLE. For not having handmade tortillas, you would never know the difference! We'll definitely be back! We love their al pastor and carne asada! Oh, and their salsas, too are delicious!

Staff and service: fast service and friendly. It gets really crowded make sure you hear your number.
The taco Al Pastor is beyond bomb!
Taco de lengua is good but the meat could be a bit more crispier
Mulita de asada is good but a bit salty
Red salsa is the best!
Try the Auga de Fresca you won’t regret it! It’s pretty damn good
