Alright so everyone has those friends that come into town and want "authentic street tacos," right? Look no further! Tacos El Venado is it! Fresh and delicious tacos, burritos, tortas, and more. The friendly staff will take your order and prep your food quickly and even wrap your burritos after you load it up with all the extras. There is plenty of covered seating and 9 times out of 10 you'll witness LAPD in a pursuit down Victory Blvd while you're eating... the true LA TACO TRUCK EXPERIENCE!

tacos El Venado It is a simple place, but it shows the authenticity of Mexican food; I ate a mulita; It was a delicacy in my mouth. The service of the workers is pleasant and jovial. The city and street atmosphere is the Latin and Mexican flavor in Los Angeles

Still going strong as my go to street taco vendor. Love this spot for late night munchies. Their tacos/burritos al pastor is legendary and they do loaded fries which are just a work of art when paired with their spicy pico de gallo and cucumbers and radishes. The food is wayyyy too heavy without the pico providing a kick of spicy and fresh palate cleanser. But together it is chefs kiss . Their agua frescas are my favorite in the city with the pineapple fresca being arguably the best in my world haha Would recommend and I always take my out of town friends

Always good, nice attention from their staff Nice variety of salsas and condiments. Definitely recommended.

I've got to share this Mexican street taco joint! This street corner place is my absolute must-visit right after a NoHo show! Located at a bustling intersection, this shop flips out tacos quickly, and any wait is worth the delicious minute. There's something about those post-midnight cravings, and this place hits the spot every time. My favorite here is the cabeza and buche taco - chewy and juicy enough to always pull me back here. A decent variety of salsa and toppings here gets me way too full with generous spoons of onions and cilantro. There are many taco trucks around here, but the mini-shop setup here with the generator makes this spot stand out. Apart from the fresh tacos, it brings a much-needed no-frills street food experience here in NoHo. It can get crowded, but the simple and affordable bite here is worth a short drive for late-night taco cravings!

I've seen this spot all over IG so it was on my bucket list to check out. Theyre open hella late too so great spot if you're leaving the club or something haha Service is quick. The men there are definitely your hustle and bustle type which shows great work ethic if you ask me. Generator went out for a minute and even then, that didn't slow down their production. Ánimo! I got a mulita de pastor and a taco de suadero. My bf got the torta de asada and a taco de buche. All really good food. They also have many variety of salsas and toppings (pickled onions, cilantro). I got an agua fresca de fresa, and I liked it. The only thing that sucked is that my mulita had a lot of oil due to the pastor but it didn't make me sick, so that's a good thing. They accept cash and Venmo or Zelle :)

Been slowly making my way around all the different taco spots in L.A. Tacos El Venado was up next on my list! Had a few al pastor tacos, an asada taco, a pollo taco, a carnitas taco, and a cabeza taco. Don't think any of the meats were the best I've ever had, but I enjoyed all of them. Only one that I would probably not get again is carnitas because it was a bit dry for me, but then again I've never really been the biggest carnitas fan. Price is more than fair for $2 a taco and they don't skimp on meat at all. Service is fine here. They don't really speak the best English, but they obviously serve a bunch of English speakers so they know what they're doing. Very friendly in general! Although I wouldn't rank it above some of other taco spots I have been to, I can't go wrong coming here. Definitely worth the trip.
