The food is pretty damn good! There's no menu, so we had to ask the cashier about the options and he was very patient and detailed in letting us know about our options.

We got the chipotle salsa on the side of our Tacos Arabes "Especiales" (they add avocado and quesillo) on our first order but it wasn't that spicy, but very tasty so if you're so inclined feel free to ask for your tacos "con todo".

The menu is simple, but don't confuse it with basic. The meat choices are cecina (salted and sun dried beef), asada, árabe (marinated pork) and I believe cabeza. Tacos Arabes come in a hand sized flour tortilla and the other meats come in your choice of flour or small taco sized corn tortillas. We tried the Arabes and cecina and both were delicious. The salsas compliment the tacos very well and the meats went super greasy. The tacos are served with generous portions of meat.

They also offer a wide array of bottled sodas but we went with the limonada con chía they had just mixed. Not shabby at all.

Stop reading and go try these tacos!

Added 2022: don't take plastic, but Zelle and Venmo are welcome, along with cash.

I think this might be my favorite new place. Tortilla game is next level. Asada and Oaxaca cheese combo was perfect

Best tacos árabes around! Get them "especiales" so they will come with avocado and cheese. These tacos are the grandaddies of "al pastor" tacos. If you enjoy al pastor, you will enjoy these and be pleasantly surprised with the similarities and differences.

If you like cuisine from Puebla, they also have cemitas and mixiotes.

Must try! Order the special arabe taco. Fresh flower tortillas is like a soft blessing paired with the perfect combination of meat, Oaxaca cheese, avacado & Chipotle salsa! Also jugos such as passion fruit are also delicious!

I've wanting to try these tacos for a long time. They were recommended to me way before they came out on all the food shows. Finally got to try the taco arabe especial. I typically squeeze lemon and add salsa to my tacos but the arabe especial needs ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! All I can say is wow and thank you!

Stopped by here on a whim through my friend. I already ate some tacos beforehand and was full but could care less. We stopped by here around 10: 20pm. No line. It was my first time. You know it was going to be some good stuff because it was in an area that seemed shady but with lights to help. I asked what they were known for but they already sold out of it, arabes. That didn’t stop me from ordering from what they had left. I got carnitas and cabeza tacos. I also decided to go for their quesadillas even though I normally don’t go out of my own way to get some. I saw a glimpse of blue corn tortillas through a picture and forgot about it. Once the cashier asked which tortillas I wanted for the quesadillas and he brought up the option of blue tortillas, I definitely had to get them. I even asked if I could get all my food items with the blue corn tortillas, he said yes and it was a done deal. I normally don’t come across blue corn tortillas but I know, you have to have them if you have the opportunity to do so. I almost decided to save mine for later but decided it’s probably best to just eat it on the spot. It was probably the best decision and one the better tacos/quesadillas I’ve ever had. That tortilla tasted handmade/homemade. So good. The cheese and meat in that quesadilla, decided to go with carnitas for it but oof. I definitely have to come back for some of the arabes. Hands down one of the better Mexican joints not just considering it’s a food truck but overall this is legit that good. Don’t know if they accept card but I had cash on hand just in case because its LA either way.

This place has been on my bucket list for a few years now. Worth keeping it on my list. First, all the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. We went on a fantastic day. They were not so busy and we were able to sit and enjoy our food. There was an amazingly talented unhomed person playing a guitar and singing. Wow.

The food, oh the food. They are known for their Tacos de Árabe. So, that's a must try. You will regret it if you don't give it a try. We tried almost all the hits on the menu. Taco de cecina, taco de Árabe, cemita with milanesa, quesadilla de huetlacoche (spelling?). Everything was good.

Go hungry when you arrive. You'll want to try more than just one item. The cemita is large and will fill you up. The taco de Árabe is made with a flour tortilla (smallish size one), the corn tortillas are amazing and used for the other dishes they serve.

Bottomline. I'm Mexican and picky about my Mexican food outside of home cooking. So, my review of this place should say it all. It's GOOD!
