The LA Taco Tuesday Directory

"Casa La Doña is worth a trip any day of the week - the food is fresh, the tortillas are handmade, and everything is affordable. Also, they have 18 types of salsa. The order-at-the-counter space gets pretty crowded on Tuesdays, because other people know how great this spot is, too. Just know they don’t serve alcohol. The deal: $1 tacos, all day." - amy clark, kat hong

Visiting LA from the UK having never tried authentic Mexican tacos, these being not only the nicest tacos i had in the city but also some of the most delicious food I have tried, the Lovely Lady working in there helped me order a popular spread of Tacos, must try when you visit!

Better than Sonoratown. Service was good, just be careful when they ask if you want Guacamole because it's extra and they don't mention the price when they ask you. Other than that they have probably the best salsa bar in Los Angeles with about 10-12 salsas to choose from. The food is good and tastes authentic. Would recommend this place over Sonoratown

Great Tacos , $1 and change Tacos for Taco Tusday great deal. I also had the shrimp tostadas that came with a side of chips. You are able to try all their different options and enjoyed their great flavor. Loved them will be going back. They also have a fish taco special lon Friday's.

The food is amazing! I use to go every week when I first moved to DTLA . For the most part the servers are on point. However, there is one server who is so rude and seriously lacking customer service. She cuts you off when you are ordering and rolls her eyes. Never says thank you. She slammed my food down. She needs to work at Church's chicken. Even their service is better. I will not be back.....

This place is in Download Los Angeles in a very nice area away from skid row, we tried this place out of curiosity and it was recommended by a friend, the staff is so nice and friendly, they offered us to stay indoors or outdoors, as soon as we entered the place the smell was very interesting already, we ordered street tacos and it pastor and it was heavenly tasty, they have like a special sauce with mild, medium or very spicy tomatillo sauce, the tacos tasted so fresh that the corn tortillas smelled so fresh and soft, melted cheese and guacamole was really nice, tamarind drink was on point as well, highly recommended for on the go place to try

Pretty decent tacos. I discovered this taqueria randomly and wanted to get al pastor tacos which they ran out of. So I went with asada instead and didn't regret. Moreover I came back within just a few days. What's lacking here is how fast you get your tacos and your order sometimes can get mixed up. $3 for a taco is the new price but they do $1.5 taco Tuesdays and Fridays.

You would normally walk past this place and don't even know it exists. It was Tuesday and this offers special price ($1.49) at this time which is unheard of nowadays. Their Pastor, Carnitas, and Cochinita (Baked Pork) are hella good ! It's weird to walk out of a store with seven tacos for like $12. The store is clean and has decent of tables or chairs. I didn't wait long for my tacos either so it's good for a quick bite.

Obsessed with this place. I order the huevos rancheros every time and it's the best huevos rancheros I've ever had. The staff is so kind and always remember me and my order. A must go for Mexican food in DTLA

They claim $1.49 taco Tuesdays, but look at the register when they ring you up. My five tacos today were $13+ (with tax and a reluctant 15% tip). I'm writing this but otherwise quietly never coming back.

So glad I dropped in today for lunch. I decided to have the bean and cheese burrito and added chili and potato. The burrito was fresh and tasty in addition to added a side of fries. The service was great and the food was delicious. I definitely recommend. And as an added bonus for my wheelchair users, they do offer accessible tables. Thanks again El Chinateco

Stopped by for lunch today and picked up a few different tacos. The selection of meats was great, prices were beyond reasonable, and the selection of sauces hits a wide variety of tastes. I personally loved the onion habenero !

Great food. I had the asada torta and some al pastor tacos with hand made tortillas. Fantastic. They have a large assortment of salsas too. I went spicy with some red and green salsas but also tried the mango salsa and that was incredible.
