3. Guerilla Tacos – Roasted Sweet Potato Taco
Guerilla Tacos is your spot for tacos on wheels. The food truck posts up at locations around LA, including Blue Bottle Venice, Cognoscenti Coffee, Blacktop Coffee and Silver Lake Wine. We love the sweet potato taco. Almond chile gives this one a kick while feta cheese provide additional flavor and fried corn nuts add crunch. Everything you could want in a taco!
4. Chicas Tacos -Fish Taco
The fish taco at Chicas Taco in Culver City includes beer battered fish, caesar salad, croutons and queso manchego. The croutons give it a bit of a crunch while the caesar salad makes this taco an ideal choice for comfort food. And we love the option to order online!
5. Hugo’s Tacos -Mixed Veggies with Herbs Taco
The mixed veggie with herbs taco is a great healthy but still flavorful option. With all those veggies, you’re basically eating a salad, right? Tacos come with onions and and cilantro and a choice of soft or hard shell.
6. Pez Cantina -Carne Asada Tacos
Head to Pez Cantina Downtown for amazing carne asada tacos. The delicious tacos are served in pairs, along with lime rice and choice of beans.
