"During my visit to Avenue 26 Tacos in Downtown I found long lines and hungry customers, and observed the same shrinkage in taco size that has pushed my typical order up from two tacos to four or five because the smaller tortillas are finished in far fewer bites." - Mona Holmes
"Just keep an eye/ear out for the the bright lights, long lines, and loud music at the Ave 26 taco stand. Tucked away in both Eagle Rock and Little Tokyo, the scene is like a festive party. The selections for mulitas stands out because of the pounds of al pastor on a spit. If ordering the massive stacked mulitas, bring someone to share it with." - Mona Holmes
"I included this restaurant among the Los Angeles spots Kenneth Hung highlights on his @KenPaints Instagram feed; Hung’s released digital triptychs aim to capture each restaurant’s signature dishes and ambient vibe by beginning every post with photos he takes during his meals and then digitally sketching and coloring the subject in Photoshop to create pleasingly sparse, evocative artwork—10” x 10” prints are available for $25 via Instagram." - Cathy Chaplin
"Avenue 26 Tacos is a longstanding Mexican food stand that has become a staple of the Artesian Street food scene for over ten years. Known for its role in the Avenue 26 Night Market, the stand has expanded to a standalone restaurant in Downtown Los Angeles and operates a food truck in the Eagle Rock area." - Farley Elliott
"I noticed that the once-prolific Avenue 26 Tacos team has pared back to a single weekday food truck; on the rain-soaked streets of Los Angeles only a few fans mill about at a distance, wary of others but still eager for tacos." - Farley Elliott
