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 of course

So good. You hear about little taco shacks that are the best ever... this is that place. All the varieties are fantastic. The corn tortillas are being made while you order. It was so good and the flavors are amazing. If you are anywhere near here, go get some tacos.

I honestly come here almost EVERY morning for a tocino breakfast burrito. They're always so happy to greet me and even make an effort to remember my name. I absolutely love the staff. And they have a small parking lot for you to park in as well. Thank you!! Also. I love their red and habanero salsa. Mixing them together is the perfect salsa!!

It's a tradition when we go to a Dodger Game we come here first. I'd rather eat here than stadium food. This location is great, love the patio seating outside & some seats inside as well. I always love the Sample platter cause you can try Different ones. I personally love their chicken Mole and their black bean mini tacos. Their ceviche tostada is also another favorite. Their drink selection and their Aguas Frescas are always refreshing. Whenever there is a Dodger Game they make a blue Horchata it's good but I rather have the melon water it's so refreshing. Parking is a bit tight you can prolly for 5 cars near the restaurant and that's it it's always a drag to wait and just move around for a parking. They used to have a different lot close by for extra cars but as of recent they don't have it anymore, I asked and she said they don't have access to it anymore. Parking can be a bit difficult and can make the experience meh but we waited maybe 10 min and then we were able to get a parking. It's def worth for the tacos. Love the location, love the tacos & the customer service is great.

This is my preferred Guisados location. This is the one that looks like the Los Angeles the movies promised us. It's in a hilly area. Hills that are not comically steep like in San Francisco, but the undulant L.A. type of hills. Matching these vertical curves are the horizontal curves of Sunset Boulevard. The cluster of downtown skyscrapers is over there in the background. And, let's face it, Guisados began as L.A.'s hipster taco of record. The hipster shall reside ever in Echo Park. I realize the original is in Boyle Heights. But Guisados is not a Boyle Heights taqueria. Al and Bea's with its Pachuco style burrito runs Boyle Heights. The mariscos trucks on Olympic run Boyle Heights. Boyle Heights, by and large, does not smear black beans on its tacos, does not do veggie tacos. Most Mexicans from anywhere will prepare veggie tacos at home, few will accept them at the TQ. This became evident when ordering the tacos calabaza or ongos at the OG location. They weren't bad, but they had no zip. They tasted like they were passed their prime. Not spoiled, but like they were on the other side of their peak. I chalked it up to the veggie fillings not getting the rotation of the meat fillings. I had some of the papa y chorizo and it was loaded with potency. I really believe - as good as the meat and fish tacos are - the best of Guisados are the veggie selections. They get so much flavor out of zucchini, mushrooms and nopales. Of course everything is enhanced when its surrounded by their fresh tortillas, so deeply corny, and even slightly creamy(?). Having placed the laurel over the veg tacos, I still have to say that the chuleta verde is a flavor spectacular, as is the camaron. But the true explosion is the novelty, taco de chiles torreados. An assortment of chiles, to wit, serranos, fresh arboles, and habanero are seared over a flame. Then, they're tucked into a tortilla. To top it off is a glug of habanero salsa. I'm talking a Yucatan style habanero salsa, which is pretty much habanero liquidized with water and salt, maybe a little onion and very little garlic. To balance the heat, you have the tortilla, and the smear of black beans. That's all you have to protect you. It's like if Wyatt Earp showed up to the O.K. Corral with only his brothers and no Doc Holiday. You prepare for certain death. The first bite of the chile torreado you taste the sweet frutiness created by the beta carotenes in the habanero. For whatever reason, the mechanics of our palate makes it so sweet flavors are tasted before the capsaicin is felt. You believe for a brief moment that all is manageable. Then the pain and the tears and the snot come running.

After eating here for over a decade, I am finally leaving a review! Everyone knows this place is an institution and there are enough reviews. I'll just add a few of my thoughts: 1. Sampler always surprisingly makes me super full. 2. There's always parking on the streets (unless the Dodgers are playing) so people shan't fight over the small parking space. 3. Even though I'm not a vegetarian, my favorite flavors are the vegetarian ones. Recommended for vegetarians: - Mushroom Hondas - Calabacitas squash - Frijoles

Guisado's Tacos in LA is an absolute gem! We tried the Chili Relleno, Chicken Tinga, and the Bistek Roja, and each one offered a delightful and unique flavor experience. The chili relleno taco was a perfect blend of texture and richness, while the chicken rings taco surprised us with its bright and savory seasoning. The Bistek Roja taco was sophisticated and truly hit the spot. Our food arrived quickly and the staff were also incredibly friendly, adding to the overall great experience. If you're in LA and looking for amazing tacos, Guisado's is the place to go!

This Guisados is located in Echo Park, closer to Silver Lake / Chinatown-ish. They are off of Sunset Blvd where it's like a trash marsh. The area looks really dirty with trash and overgrown weeds. Luckily they have a tiny parking lot - only four spots though - and free street parking adjacent to the restaurant. Their order window faces the street. Then you can go into the dining area to the right. They have a larger outdoor seating area, which feels less claustrophobic. They take your name for the order, and they bring the food out to you. You have to grab your own utensils. There is a water dispenser at the door that leads to the outdoor patio. Their tortillas felt almost mushy/sticky (?), compared to dry, store-bought corn tortillas. They put just enough filling in the taco so that it's not terribly messy imo. The bistek con salsa roja were really good. I decided to try the chile relleno because it was the special. It wasn't bad, but it made me feel like a vegetarian. I want to try the shrimp next time. It def looks better and tastier.
