Tacos La 26! (Previously Ave 26 Tacos)

Delicious and fast tacos. The restaurant knows what they are doing. The lines moved so fast and I got me food within 5 minutes. They have complementary potatoes which is awesome since they help with the spicy of the spicy salsas. They also have a self serve salsa and topping bar which is my favorite so I can generously garnish and drench my tacos in salsas. We realized this was a really popular spot in this area because it was already 12 am and this place was still really packed. Really delicious and authentic tacos, will definitely come back again.

Bring CASH! There is an ATM there. Walk-in or parking to tailgate/parking lot trunk dining at. $2.25 per taco; $18 for 8 tacos. Recommend those proteins over pastor and asada. Located between Little Tokyo and Arts District. Open late 9am-4am/5am. Portable sink there and hand sanitizers around, no restroom (porta potty were locked for staff usage only). Is it me or did the quality and condiments get better? It's definitely way better than when they were at their original location. On Google, this placed is called Tacos La 26 now vs Avenue 26 Tacos. Monday night 9pmish, there was no line and plenty of parking available. We've been here before but I guess 1st time sober? I thought the lengua and tortilla was good. The SO liked cabeza out of lengua, cabeza and pastor. Both lengua and cabeza usually cost more so 5 stars on price and quality for those. We don't remember asada or pastor beong that great here. It's the condiments that really make their tacos. Their pickled red onions and potatoes add extra value. Drink station includes drinks, and more to buy from. - Hot Toppings: 2 potatoes (delicious! Only 2 per plate or pay $0.50 for more), grilled onions, grilled peppers. - Cold Toppings/condiments are located on the side: Picked red onions, diced onions with cilantro, green verde sauce, green guac sauce, radish slices, limes. No pickled carrots here but I rather have picked red onions instead.

This place is truly a hidden gem in Downtown LA. You can enjoy really delicious tacos at a very affordable price — it honestly tastes just like the authentic tacos you’d find in Mexico. The beef tongue and cabeza tacos are incredibly soft and tender, and the flavors are spot-on. At only $2.25 per taco, it’s hard to beat the value. You can eat plenty without breaking the bank, which is one of the biggest reasons this place stands out. It’s definitely a spot everyone should try at least once. One thing to note is that, even though there’s a large parking lot, there’s no area to sit and eat. So keep that in mind when you visit. Other than that, it’s an amazing combination of price and flavor. Highly recommend!

What's better late night snack than Ave 26 tacos? It's located in a parking lot, and we pulled in around 10pm on a Sunday night. People from all colors and all walks of life seem to converge here in search of scrumptious bites. There's a security guard that patrols the area so you could enjoy your chow without hesitation. It's standing room only, no utensils or sitting area provided. We decided to eat in the car as it's a bit chilly that night. There's also a portable water station to wash hands before or after you dig in. There's a separate line for tacos or burritos or drinks, pay in cash or Apple/ Samsung Pay. Simple and orderly. Then, head over to the condiments section for different types of salsa, chopped onions or lime. The Al Pastor, Carne Asada, Cabeza and Lengua are usually my go to, but there're also brisket, pork belly, chorizo to choose from.

Solid street tacos, open late with plenty of parking. I like to get cabeza, al pastor, suadero & asada. Don’t forget the grilled onions! I personally like to put a little of all 3 salsas and eat a slice of radish with every bite to give a fresh crunchiness to balance the heaviness of the meat. Can always count on avenue 26!
