The Best Tacos in Los Angeles

Looking for the best tacos in Los Angeles? I'm sharing my FAVORITES!

Looking for the best tacos in Los Angeles? I'm sharing my FAVORITES!

Welcome to the City of Angels.  If you're a taco fan, then you could literally eat tacos at a different spot everyday for a year.  In my mind? Tacos are their own food group, and I wanted to share MY guide to the Best Tacos in Los Angeles.  I'm sharing six of my personal favorite spots to grab tacos…….and can't WAIT to hear if you've tried any of them yourself!

Looking for the best tacos in Los Angeles? I'm sharing my FAVORITES!Funny story, when I was pregnant with Lydia…..I craved two foods.  Tacos and Dolmas.  So random, right?  Well, along with cravings……I developed heartburn for the first time in my life in my third trimester, and have struggled with it ever since.  It comes and goes, but man……that heartburn can ruin a good taco.  Each week, I do Taco Tuesday with a few of my teacher friends, and lately….it got so bad, that I thought I'd have to start skipping out.  As a last resort, I decided to try a new type of heartburn medication before ditching Taco Tuesday all together.  

Looking for the best tacos in Los Angeles? I'm sharing my FAVORITES!I have to say, I'm happy to report…..it's been VERY effective.  If you suffer with heartburn, I highly recommend the new Equate Omeprazole Orally Disintegrating Tablet (I picked mine up at Walmart – check it out HERE).  I love that it's dissolvable and has a great strawberry taste!  Omeprazole ODT is designed to treat the symptoms of frequent heartburn (meaning 2 or more days a week).  You'll be taking one tablet each 24 hours for 14 days……..and can start to feel a difference between 1-4 days in.  For me? About 2 days in, I felt SIGNIFICANTLY better…..and just in time for Taco Tuesday!

Now that we've got a plan for heartburn……let's talk my favorite taco spots.

The Best Tacos in Los Angeles

Mexicali (Studio City): This is actually where Robbie and I went on our first date.  It's a casual, sit down joint with killer margaritas and their braised beef tacos are to DIE for. 

Blue Plate Taco (Santa Monica):  Warning, VERY popular.  The baja fish tacos are delish, and you can't beat the views of the ocean!

El Cholo (Santa Monica): El Cholo is an LA landmark, they've been around since the 1920's.  This is a great larger location to grab tacos, perfect for group dinners.

Marisol (Santa Monica Pier): Marisol is located at the very end of the Santa Monica Pier, the views are killer and so are the fish tacos.

Home State (Los Feliz): Looking for Queso? Breakfast tacos? Home State will be your new favorite spot.

Pinches Tacos (Culver City / Hollywood / Westwood / Santa Monica): The Culver City Pinches Tacos was my favorite spot until we moved to another part of the city.  It's small, quaint, inexpensive and delish.  We even used their catering for multiple events!

Tres Hermanos (North Hills): If you're in the San Fernando Valley, this is the BEST.  They make authentic, amazing food and they deliver (via Postmates)!

Are you an LA native? What do you think are the best tacos in Los Angeles?

🎃unpopular opinion: You don’t have to do Oogi 🎃unpopular opinion: You don’t have to do Oogie Boogie Bash to have the perfect spooky season day at Disneyland⠀⠀🎃Now, here’s the thing: I love Oogie Boogie Bash.  But it sells out SO quickly every year.  And I promise, there is still a LOT of Halloween Time fun at Disneyland (yes even without an Oogie Boogie Bash ticket). I’ve been hopping around the parks with Undercover Tourist and we’ve had a TOTAL blast doing all the spooky things together.⠀⠀A few of my favorite Halloweenie things to do during a parks day (or night):⠀🖤visit the Halloween Tree (IYKYK)⠀🧡watch the Dapper Dans sing all their cutesiest spookiest songs⠀🖤check out the Dia de los Muertos area in Frontierland AND the performances in Paradise Guardians (check for the Mariachi Divas in the app….they’re AMAZING)⠀🧡try at least one new to me spooky treat (yup, that includes my seasonal cold brews and this year’s Minnie Bat Caramel Apple)⠀🖤do alllll the themed attractions, each of these does something special for Halloweentime: Luigi's Honkin' Haul-O-Ween, Monsters After Dark, Mater's Graveyard JamBOOree and…..our fav the Haunted Mansion ⠀🧡do Pumpkin Pursuit at Downtown Disney ⠀🖤the new Goofy’s Kitchen Halloween Dinner and Brunch (we loved the dinner over the weekend and I’m sharing the brunch in stories today!)⠀⠀🎃My friends at Undercover Tourist have some pretty awesome guides to Halloweentime on their site……they’re a great spooky season resource for info and a great deals on Disney tickets resource year round.  I know, I rave about them a lot but……who doesn’t love a Disney partner that gives you deals on trips to the Happiest Place on Earth for ANY holiday or season?⠀⠀#FrogHopDLR #Disneyland#DisneylandResort #Halloweentime @themeparkfrog @disneyland⠀⠀⠀
But the real question is…..which Bluey episode i But the real question is…..which Bluey episode is your favorite?!?We are off to play keepie uppie and pass the parcel at Oogie Boogie Bash. 🤣#bluey #oogieboogiebash
🚨 3 MISTAKES I MADE AT MY FIRST RUN DISNEY RACE 🚨 3 MISTAKES I MADE AT MY FIRST RUN DISNEY RACE 🚨⠀⠀🛑 Learn from my mistakes, 3 things you should NOT do if you’re running Disney races this year (trust me):⠀⠀1️⃣ Passing Go and Heading STRAIGHT to the parks: I realllllyyyyy wanted medal pictures.  In my running outfit.  So, instead of taking the buses straight from the finish line back to the hotel……we went to the Magic Kingdom.  Took photos.  Went to lunch.  And felt…..terrible by about 1 pm.  So take it from me, finish the race.  Go to the hotel.  Shower. Take a nap.  THEN go to the parks. ⠀2️⃣ Breakfast: ok, mistake number 2.  WHAT WE ATE.  We booked a very cute, very on theme lunch.  It was also very rich and creamy food.  And…..was NOT IT after a race.  Some of us may have gotten sick.  It might have been the food.  Or the lack of sleep.  But, breakfast food (waffles / eggs) would have been a MUCH better choice.  Now bonus points if you can guess where we ate.  Love it, but….not for the first meal after the race.⠀3️⃣ Park Tickets: I spent WAY too much.  I didn’t buy my park tickets in advance and paid full price.  On a race weekend, you’ll probably want tickets for race day and the day after if not two days after.  So….buy them NOW.  While you can get a deal. ⠀⠀🎟️ Which leads to……when I say buy those park tickets now, I mean it. Big News! Undercover Tourist is offering their best ticket deal at BOTH Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort…for a VERY limited time, get Adult Theme Park Tickets at Child Prices.  So whichever race you are running (or races in my case)……snag tickets NOW.  I’m grabbing mine for Wine and Dine and Princess weekend……..⠀🎟️ want a link to the deal? Comment TICKETS PLEASE and I’ll send it your way! ⠀👟 Are you running a Disney Race this year? Which one? ⠀⠀🥇 And if you’re an experienced Run Disney person….what tips do YOU have for first timers?⠀⠀@themeparkfrog @disneyland #FrogHopDLR #rundisney

Two good witches and one black cat…….kick off Two good witches and one black cat…….kick off another year of family halloween costumes.The thing is, I tried to talk Lydia out of these costumes.  It was a cooler day on Saturday and I kept telling her we could just wear jeans and the hats.  Until, I realized…….we may not have that many Halloween seasons left of cute family costumes.  So pink witches we were…..for the kickoff of Legoland’s Brick or Treat. We love Brick or Treat (this is our 3rd year doing it). It’s got some new activities this year, and I L-O-V-E that it’s included in your regular @legolandcalifornia ticket (bonus it ALSO will be included in Kids Free October here in SD).Our favs this year:- the wacky witch trail near the water park entrance- the zombie cheerleaders- halloween themed apple fries- the monster security checkpoint- Jam Out with the Rockers (this meet and greet is HYSTERICAL, scroll for the footage)Brick or Treat takes place on Saturdays in September and then Saturdays and SOME Sundays in October (dates are on the Legoland website).Welp, this makes it official.  Summer has come to an end. Bring on the Halloween fun!#sponsored #LEGOLANDcalifornia
