THE GET DOWN
26th Ave Taco Stand is as close to a true authentic Angeleno food experience one can have while in LA. It’s just down right fun!
26th Ave Taco Stand sells just that…tacos! They set up shop at the oddest of hours, but you know what? It doesn’t even matter because people from ALL over flock to this warehouse district in the middle of… nowhere? Or Lincoln Heights? I think? Just make sure you have WAZE before you head out. And Did I mention the tacos are a dollar? You are definitely left to wonder how everyone has found this desolate street that 26th Ave Taco stands sits on.
Mexican music is blaring from the loud speakers, meat is cooking on a spindle, smoke from the grill surrounds the guys behind the assembly line, and once you think this is it, the last guy in the lineup will ask you if you want a potato to go with your meal. Say yes!
Older Mexican ladies are there to refill the condiment stands and everyone who is anyone is dancing in the streets. You can’t help but do it!
If that sweet tooth creeps in, grab a churro and keep the rhythm going. 26th Ave Taco Stand has it all going on!

For those with little
runners & screamers:
Easily forgiven:
Here, you can forget the fact that it’s your rambunctious child that’s screaming and STILL enjoy most of your meal.
Not promoted, but you should take the chance:
If your toddler is at the stage when an iPad or some other colorful distraction can be used for an un-interrupted 20 minutes, then go for it.
Uh-uh, NO WAY, don’t even think about it!:
I don’t care how cute your toddler is. Pop your head in… turn around… walk away. PERIOD.
No contained area:
A place you cannot leave your toddler alone, not even for a second.
Enclosed, but space is tight:
If YOU can’t fit between the tables then you know you couldn’t catch your toddler if they tried – this isn’t Norm’s.
