Taqueria Los Angeles Menu

Sorry, We are updating this restaurant menu details.

  • Jerrod K.

    I almost didn't write this. I almost don't want anyone else to know about my favorite place to grab some authentic tacos when I'm in Peoria. I fear one of these days I'll stop in for a quick bite, and the line will be out the door. Because that's how good the food here is. One of the best things about life in Phoenix is that if you do have to resort to "fast food," you're not limited to the enormous over-advertised chains. Taqueria Los Angeles is quick and inexpensive, so technically it probably is fast food, but the quality is so much better than anything you'll find at a traditional fast food burger place. The salsas are fresh and flavorful. The tacos come in different varieties of beef, pork, chicken, or fish. (Looking for ground beef? Go to Taco Bell.) The burritos are enormous. And it's all made to order. There are a few clean tables inside and a TV tuned to a Spanish channel, but not much else in the way of décor. If you go, don't forget to scan the walls for mention of specials and additional items; the menu behind the counter is not all-inclusive!

    I tried to give Taqueria Los Angeles a chance. And I definitely do not regret it at all. Everything there is pure quality and the food is full of flavor. The employees were super nice to me. Especially this 14-year old girl who works there she was the sweetest girl I've ever talked to. The one part I really liked about that restaurant was that when you walk in it smells like Home cooked meals. So if you are ever around Peoria and hungry come give this place a try. I know I will be coming back to Taqueria Los Angeles!

    Craving some tripas I figured I'd try this place out. I have driven by a couple times in the past but it was closed. As I'm walking thru the door my mind is telling me "Turn around and walk away...no one has even seen you walk in...TURN AROUND AND WALK AWAY!" Heart: Give it a try. Whats the worst thing that could happen? Mind: Look at those flies on the wall, the horrible interior, and filth on the walls, what do you think their kitchen looks like!!? Heart: Ah come on...let's give it a try. Mind: No tripas on the menu you fool. Get out now. Finally a worker appears and asks to help me. I ordered a gordita with carne asada, asked for a adobada taco but was told they didn't have any. So I ordered a carnita taco and a generic Jose Ole horchata (Mind: BOOOO, Jose Ole sucks...). She rang me up. 8 bucks or so with a tip. I was handed some chips and there was a tiny salsa bar. The chips were stale and the salsa was in very poor form. Huge chunks of onions, no heat, not fresh tasting. I pushed it to the side and sipped on my drink. It's bad when you don't even want free chips and salsa. A few minutes later my food comes out. The carnitas were full of fat and not worth a second bite. The gordita was hot, and had some promise. Then I bit into it and had a rock like pebble that stopped my teeth from closing. Not sure what it was but that ended the meal immediately. I finished my drink. Threw out almost a full plate of disgusting food and made my way out of there much quicker than I made my way in. Mind: You dummie Heart: At least we can yelp about it Mind: No one cares

    Food is authentic and very delicious. I had fish tacos and they tasted perfect, home cooked food. Husband & father in law had a variety of tacos, cabeza (head), tongue, & tripa tacos...they were all delicious, I tasted them all too and had plate envy. We want to try the sopas & shrimp cocktail next time. We also had the Jamica & Horchata waters and those were fantastic! I will recommend this place to everyone even if they don't ask LOL. Can't wait to go again! One more thing...nothing is over $6.95. Just go & see for urself....YUMMO

    Food 3/5 - I hade the tostatas de Camaron & steak street tacos. Tostatas were pretty good but the texture of the tostata itself was oily & left a taste in the back of the mouth. Steak was dry & hard to chew. Service 5/5 They were very nice. Food was prepared freshly & quickly. Ambiance 3/5 - No Bathroom. Small place. No distinctive decor. Overall - 3.6/5 stars - Not as impressive as I was hoping. But not horrible! Would I refer this place to a Friend? Doubtful.

    Delish, quick and no lines like across the street at Carolina's. Couldn't be better than Carolina's but it is. Burritos are big. I found my new lunch spot where I don't have people standing over my shoulder and I don't hear any screaming children.

    The adobada pork gorditas are a godsend. You cannot go wrong with them! My favorite has to be their bean and cheese burritos which is toasted and comes with a fried jalapeño.

  • Tiffany M.

    Okay we ALWAYS go to Carolinas across the street from here. Ummmm yeah that won't happen anymore! I had a ceviche tostada and camaron al mojo de ajo (garlic butter shrimp) my husband and Daughter had menudo and goditas de pollo...... I must say that was THEE best ceviche I have had in a while. Everything was good and I am very picky with spanish rice (cuz I make the best hehehe) but their rice passed the test! The beans were HOMEMADE not canned rosaritos lol.......since carolinas is closed on sundays guess where we'll be going for sunday hangover menudo??!...... P.S. while we were there an employ from carolinas came in for food hahahaha need I say more?!

    Oh my god.. Thank you, yelpers. I've been looking for good Mexican food since moving here. One thing you should be advised about if coming here for the first time, do not order too much. I'm so used to small portions, I didn't realize. I had my boyfriend go and pick up some food. I got nachos and two beef hard tacos. I could barely finish the nachos that I found out was "half size". I saved the tacos that came with a large side of beans and cheese for lunch the next day. Really great food. Hope to come and eat inside next time.

    The gorditas are awesome :) I've tried the asada ones and the carnitas both were amazing! The quesadillas are big and also very good. I tried the hard shell tacos and honestly I wouldn't try them again... Only one side of each tacos was hard :( the other side was soggy. The teenage girl that works there is always friendly and good with getting the orders right but the past 2 times I've gone she wasn't there and my orders were wrong :/ I love the menudo on the weekends!! The salsa I'll give that a 2 out of 5 stars. You must try this place if you're looking for real Mexican food. First place that has authentic Mexican food out of the 10+ places I've tried based off of yelp reviews. Its a diamond in the rough. Ohhh and before you go be sure to check their hours! Some days they close super early. Btw the only thing carolinas has better then this place is the hard tacos.. Not many people are use to real Mexican food and for those people maybe Carolinas, taco bell and del taco might be better... This place works with the flavors of the meats and ingredients ^_^ not fake or processed food.

    We discovered this place bc. Carolina's was closed on Sunday! This is noe my go to for carne asada! Its sooo tender and full of flavor! Their Gorditas are amazing! their beans are like the beans my abuelita made back in the day! Only draw back, their AC dont work well and their bottled drinks are kind of warm.

  • J D.

    Sooooo good. Went here because the line at Carolina's was too long. Glad it worked out that way because I found out that Taqueria Los Angeles is better than Carolina's.

    You gotta try "Tortas". The staff is nice and professional. Clean, cheap and DELICIOUS place. Highly recommended.

    We spent weeks trying to catch this place open. Tonight was the night. Come on folks....this was horrible. I cook Mexican better than this and wish I had and for those of you that think its better than Carolina's...I dont even know what to say. We ordered simple. The beans were tasteless and runny, not in a good way either. We will never go here again, ugh.

    I'm literally waiting for my meal right now, I hope it's good! --------------------------- MMMMmmmmmmmmm Mmmmmmmmmmmmm B*****!!!! Wow this is pretty damn good! I can't believe Ive literally worked across the street for almost two years and never checked this place out... Well, maybe I can... Carolina's is like 75 feet away lol I'm not sure what that other reviewer was looking for/talking about but this place is definitely not as he described it. It's a little family owned place and it's a little warm inside but other than that, it's fantastic. I ordered the 2 floutas dinner plate and was surprised by the portion size. These floutas are jumbo sized and taste great! Warm and crispy with some nice shredded beef. Beans are great! Rice is good, soft and moist. Salsa is chunkier than any other mexican place I've been to so I have no idea why the other reviewer said it's "watery" Overall, if you're looking for a 5-Star Iron Chef Mexican Food Restaurant then you've came to the wrong place but if you want some quality Mexican food that doesnt end in "'tos" and has a "homey"

    All I have ever ordered here is the 2 Gorditas dinner (carne Asada ) . It's perfectly cooked and seasoned and mouth watering . The Gorditas themselves are crisp on the outside and fluffy in the Inside

    I stopped in here today and tried the 5 tacos for $5 special. I had the adobada tacos and I thought they were very good. The chips they gave me for free looked like standard out of the bag but the salsa was home made and I liked it. Gave me a little nostalgia of eating at a taco stand in downtown LA when I was a kid so I had a good time. I'll definitely eat here again if I'm in the area.

    Always closing early and never got to try them yet. Today arrived at 7:41 and female employee turned the sign to close and locked front door. I had just turned my car off and was annoyed. Owner needs to know his staff are closing earlier than 8pm posted closing time-cardinal sin in food business

    It looks like a hole in the wall. The only reason we stopped by was cause we really wanted some Mexican food and this was the closest thing. But the food was SO good! My wife had flautas and wouldn't stop talking about how amazing they were. I had a carne asada burrito. The food was great. The a/c must have been broken or something cause it was hot in there. But the food, totally worth it!

    Unpretentious, ... nothing fancy at all, Taco and Burritos , this place is just a neighborhood restaurant with great food. I have been waited on by the 12 year old kid behind the counter, ... the decor' is nothing to write home about, but all of this is what adds to the charm of the hole in the wall treasure!

  • James M.

    Nothing fancy... just a hole-in-the-wall place where one would expect some pretty good food. There was just one guy working there, taking orders, cooking, and waiting tables. There isn't much room to sit, just a few 'fast food' type booths. I was ordering takeout so that didn't matter. I ordered some tacos al carbon to go. While I was waiting, a few others were served their food and it really looked yummy! One of the customers got up, went behind the counter and got a soda refill... apparently accepted practice here and a hint of how low-key the place is. My tacos were excellent! My "good food at hole-in-the-walls" notion was preserved, and I'll be going back. If you're looking for a chain restaurant, keep driving. But the laid-back low-key atmosphere was just what I was looking for.

    I was in the area, looking for a place to grab a quick bite on my way home. Figured I'd be adventurous and let Yelp decide for me. I saw Jerrod's review of this little Taqueria and decided to be brave and see if it was everything he said it would be. It was! First, I was really tempted to pull into the much-nicer-looking Carolina's across the street. I've been meaning to try that place since I used to frequent Carolina's downtown, anyway, and when faced with the storefronts of Carolina's vs Taqueria Los Angeles, well, you'll see when you go. I'll leave it at that. While the Taqueria isn't much to look at (and what's with the front door sticking? I thought I was going to shatter the glass yanking it open!), I urge you to look PAST it and walk inside...check the main menu board up above...but Jerrod was right - there are specials galore...check the little stand over by the salsa bar (that's where I found my Bistek en Chile Colorado $5.50), check the wall on the right where they list seafood specials etc. Just take it all in. Both of the guys working there that day were super friendly and willing to answer questions. There's a little serve-yourself salsa stand that included the pickled carrots that everyone seems to love. (Not a fan, so I skipped those). And if you want to dress up your salsa, you'll find dried oregano and red pepper flakes at your table. I figured I'd get my food on a styrofoam plate - that they'd call out "here's your food!" and I'd have to go get it. No. This guy comes out and serves me with a full on REAL plate and silverware! -and this plate looks GOOD! (see my photo) Big chunks of meat in a rich, colorful Chile Colorado sauce. Not too soupy, not too dry, just PERFECT. The rice? Fluffy, perfectly cooked and nicely seasoned... The beans? Just how I like 'em! Not pasty, not watery either. But the kicker was the little foil wrapper he laid down. I figured it'd be a flour tortilla, average at best. No...it was FOUR very fresh-tasting corn tortillas! FOUR! I was so in heaven. The entire dish was amazing, start to finish. and did I mention $5.50? Yes, $5.50. Sold! Overall experience: delicious, friendly, awesome, yummy. I love places like this where the food isn't wow-ing me with unique flavors and wild menu items, but is instead just giving me good traditional solid recipes. I wouldn't drive my friends across town for (I'm sure there are hundreds of similar little places like this in Phoenix), but if you're in the area...don't be afraid! Go in...enjoy! The not-so-great: Location and appearance are not the best. The Diet Pepsi out of the fountain was one of those "ick-I-should-have-ordered-something-bottled" tasting drinks. Would I go again? Hell yeah....

    Because of the good yelp reviews, my wife and I decided to try this joint out. It is just a whole in the wall. There was no one else inside when we showed up around 7 15 on Saturday night. I ordered three tacos--chicken, fish, and steak. My wife ordered chicken enchiladas. We got it to go and it was ready in about ten minutes. We got home and were excited to try our food. Unfortunately everything was under par except the chips and salsa. The chicken and steak were a little over cooked. Flavors ok, but nothing amazing. Enchiladas were just ok. The beans tasted like they were from a can. My tacos were a little bland. Really, nothing was great. I really wanted this place to be great. I'm always rooting for little places like this...but I cant tell people to go here over Carolina's. Cheap food and cheap taste. Maybe other items on the menu are good...but I don't think I'll be going back to see. Good luck taqueria Los Angeles.

    I am not only new to the area, but to the southwest. I'm so excited to try food from as many taquerias as possible to find my favorite. Taqueria Los Angeles is yummy and super inexpensive. $5 for "your choice of two" with rice and beans. I will certainly return.

Mexican Cuisine

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.

Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.

Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.
