Virgil & Clinton Taco Stand

Bought a few tacos, was not impressed. I believe that great street tacos should have flavor in their meat. When you have to add salsa to make the taco edible then the main ingredient fails, which of course is the meat in the taco. But the salsas looked good. Kind of messy and kids putting their hands inside to grab the spoon was unsanitary.
I will stick with King Taco

I drove by this little stand and pretty much decided to U-​turn and get a snack here because I couldn’t believe there was a little taco stand on the corner. It was my first time seeing a taco stand (without a truck) so I was pretty excited.
The al pastor is legit, comparable to Leo’s and El Flamin’. Tacos $ 1.25 each and they put lots of meat. You can add unlimited toppings and they have everything they should. The avocado sauce is a MUST. Will definitely stop by again if I’m in the area and try other things!

Best al pastor in the neighborhood. The staff is super friendly and the salsas awesome.

The selfish side of me never wanted to rate this place in case the hidden gem was found. But now this place is super popular anyway… This taco stand is HANDS DOWN the BEST taco stand in LA. The boys are really nice. The green guac sauce is bomb… The best is the pastor taco with a piece of pineapple. It’s incredible, honestly. My roommates eat here once a week, minimum. The prices are dirt cheap… Lines are long now, but they deserve it.

Hands down the best Taco stand in LA! I LOVE their Al Pastor and their Lime juice/​Chile soaked cucumbers. Must try it!

I eaten from this taco stand a few times. I live near it and have seen the long lines late into the night. I recommend the Al Pastor tacos and carne asada burrito. I wish they would come earlier. They do set up around 8pm or so.

I found this taco stand while driving for Lyft. I had high hopes that I had found a gem, but was disappointed. I had two mulitas (carne asada and al pastor) and two tacos the same way. Those are my go-​to meats to judge a Mexican food place. Both were let downs. They were too dry and the bland.
They are not shy about loading the tacos with meat. You can help yourself to the condiments bar as with most taco stands.
Tip: bring cash, small bills to help them out. Less than 20s.

There’s a taco stand that’s popped up at the corner of Virgil and Clinton for the last few months. I’m not sure if it has a particular name, or what the hours are (apart from late.) But I do know that the food is phenomenal! You can’t miss it– they’ve got a big table and grill set up, with a car running a generator of some kind.
Tacos are $ 1.25 each (when they first opened they were $ 1, so they must be doing well!) they have all your basic flavors — al pastor, asada, lengua, pollo, etc — and a good variety of self serve toppings and salsas.
They also have huge, fantastic burritos and quesadillas for $ 5 each; in terms of amount of food per dollar, they’re much better deal than the tacos. It’s ideal late night food. Ideal drunk food. Ideal «stop here on your way home from the airport after traveling for 12 hours» food (which was the last time I went here!)
The prices and options are all well marked on a sign. You won’t have a problem if you don’t speak Spanish. Word is obviously getting out about this place– last time I was here a couple of mustached hipsters were asking for vegetarian burritos (which they don’t have, tho they got burritos with just beans and rice and onions… rather sad, actually.)
You can park in the little lot for the Osi Market grocery store right across the street.
Check it out!!!

Amazing tacos. The pastor is to die for. Very reasonably priced. The perfect place for a late night taco fix.
