Guisados - Los Angeles, California

Z N.

Nestled near Dodger Stadium in Echo Park, Guisados offers a decent taco experience, particularly notable for the homemade masa tortillas and a broad array of options. However, despite these strengths, I found these tacos to fall short of the top-tier offerings one might expect in a city like Los Angeles, especially considering the price.

My standout choice was the cochinita pibil, which is available in varying spice levels. I opted for the spiciest version, a daring blend of chili peppers including habanero, serrano, jalapeño, and even Thai chilies—a unique and fiery combination that truly tested my limits. I must admit, I FAFO, as I ended up removing some chilies to tame the heat, but I still enjoyed the challenge.

The cold brew horchata was a refreshing complement to the meal, offering a sweet respite from the spice. As for logistics, street parking is your best bet, with parallel spots typically available.

While Guisados is worth a visit for those in the area or seeking a spicy adventure, it’s important to note that Los Angeles boasts a wealth of superior taco spots that might deliver better value for the aficionado.

Had the Taco Sampler, and they were the best tacos I’ve ever had in my life. My one regret is that I did not ask what each and every taco was. I just asked for the sampler and told them to give me what they thought was best. And boy did it deliver. Ten years of late night tacos and I finally found the best. The braised meats here cannot be beat. And dare I even say, the vegetarian options were incredible. Go and consider yourself lucky. Had the half Jamaica/half Lemonade too. A bit too sweet for me, but still very good.

Wow.

You'd never think tortillas are the key ingredient but they are the best here. It makes the difference. Ofc everything else is great. Can't go wrong. Recommend tamales, queso.

I love coming on an off time for a good combination of tacos. Never disappoints and love that they are different than most regular tacos. Multiple locations but this is my favorite one 💛

Can’t believe I waited so long to try these tacos. I would always drive by and wonder what all the hype was about with the long lines and now I see why.

after years of driving by and having it saved on my google maps list we finally decided to stop by and get some tacos. we came to eat here for a late breakfast / early lunch and wanted to try a few different types of tacos and luckily they had a lot to choose from. i went with chicken, steak and fish and the stand out to me was the fish! obviously, each one was delicious but that one was my favorite for the unique taste it had. i also really enjoyed the steak one taste and toppings as well. we were lucky to have visited while there weren't too many people and we could relax for a little in their outside patio seating area. i will also note that the tortillas were fresh, hand made and tasted so good too.

Vegetarian & Vegan friendly!!! I tried 2x Hongos con cilantro, 1 Vegan Medley, 2x Vegetarian Quesadillas and I must say their flavors were quite nice!! I really like how the tacos were made fresh - you can even see it done when you walk in. There is plenty of space to eat inside or outside, and parking in their lot or on the street

This place had amazing tacos made from scratch. I ordered the mole and shredded beef taco and neither disappointed. There is plenty of room here with both indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor area has a large mural on the outside walls of LA themes. Super unique and yummy place to visit. Plus, the prices are reasonable for the places popularity.
