Tiny taco stand on Hilhurst Blvd. Blink and you'll miss it, unless you are looking for a line of people. Very inexpensive, great Mexican flavors. Insider tip- home made tamales on Saturdays only. Strangely (as it's a taco stand) one of the best burgers around. You can eat like a king for $6.

We stopped there last week going from Hollywood to Glendale. Shortly after we stopped the line got bigger and bigger as all the locals... More

I like burritos but in Mexico, a burrito is a little donkey. And Mexican does not use sour cream. At all.... My mom is Mexican, I've been traveling all over Mexico my whole life and I went to high school there for 2 years. This food is tasty but authentic its not. And there isn't one kind of Mexican food,... More

Yuca's is a trip! Teeny-tiny stand with about 5 people crammed inside making the food. Seating is limited and outside. There's always a line here but the food is so simply prepared that the service is fast. It's very basic food - no frills - but delicious and easy on the wallet. The drink menu is very limited because they... More

Don't let the liquor store parking lot location fool you. This is great food! Had the carnitas burrito and loved it. There is limited outdoor seating and they do not serve soda, if that is important to you. Prices are cheap. Two burritos and two drinks for under $14.

This is a family run taco stand (literally). Everything is made from scratch and delicious. Locals have been coming here for years. Most of their business is "to go." But for the persistent, there are a couple of tables and chairs in the parking lot shared with a liquor store. When I lived in the neighborhood, I came here several... More

I LOVE the carna cochinitas. I think I spelled that correctly...or not. The tacos are awesome. I have a hard time straying from my cochinitas. The burrito is not your typical huge californian burrito huge and filled with rice. Its got the meat of your choice and pinto beans, which is great , but i still LOVE the tacos. Ask... More

Thr chile verde burrito is my favorite. We have been coming here for 20 years. It is a simple stand with outdoor seating. And the food has never disappointed me.
