Best tacos I had when I visited LA. Plus, super affordable and always open late.
I got tacos, my friends got a torta and quesadilla. The food was fresh despite being late at night and the service was fast too. Overall a great spot for the food. It was pricey though but then again so is everything.
Tacos El Chido is one of my favorite street taco stands by Hollywood, and one which I think is rather underrated when compared to other spots! Located by the La Brea & Santa Monica Blvd intersection, there’s some space to pull in if you need to park. It’s fun to see the asada and other meats being freshly cooked and prepared behind the stand, where you can also find ample sauces and other toppings to add to your order. There’s some seating available, although obviously as a parking lot stand location, this is best used as take-out. Our order was ready within a few minutes of placing it, and we headed back home to try it! The tacos were all very solid LA street tacos - especially the Al Pastor, which had great heat to them and a good hint of the pineapple infused as well. The standout to me, however, were the mulitas - packed full of sour cream, guacamole & other toppings, every bite melted in my mouth and was packed full of punch and flavor. I didn’t want to put it down and take a break while eating! If I’m not painting a clear enough picture - get the mulitas!! Everything was very solid and delicious though, so you’ll be pleased no matter what! I highly recommend checking it out if you’re in the area at night!
Wow… where do I even start!? As a Mexican-American, I approve of these tacos! I’ve tried their asada, chicken, al pastor, and lengua — all of them were very good. My favorites were definitely the lengua and al pastor, though I’ll admit I’m a little biased since those are my go-to meats. Plus, they serve handmade tortillas, which I appreciate so much because I’m not a fan of store-bought tortillas. To me, good seasoned meat (good quality!) and handmade tortillas are what make a truly authentic Mexican taco. Friendly staff. Highly recommend!
