The West Hollywood Happy Hour Guide

"Pink Taco is a Mexican spot on the Sunset Strip that gets crowded during Happy Hour, especially on weekends. Everyone is here for the $8 margaritas, which come in about 20 different flavors. The Deal: $8 margaritas, $6 sangria, $4 Dos Equis, food specials. When: Daily 3-7pm." - brett keating

The LA Taco Tuesday Directory

"Pink Taco was once seen as edgy because it dared to have a euphemism for a name. Now, most people have more or less forgotten about this perfectly fine, not exactly authentic Mexican restaurant serving overpriced tacos to tourists. But on Tuesdays, you have a reason to go. The menu is decent, there are about 20 margaritas to choose from, and the crowd is always having fun. The deal: $3 street tacos, $8 margaritas, from 4pm-close." - amy clark, kat hong

Perfect place to celebrate a birthday in the private back room. The experience was intimate, fun, and private. The Mexican cuisine is great! My favorite dish was the chicken tortilla soup. Make sure to take cash for the valet parking, it’s cash only.

Oh, we came here on Fourth of July. We were in the neighborhood so we stopped in. We had a pitcher of margarita It was early afternoon, but it was still busy. The food was good and we enjoyed our time there. We all enjoyed our food and drinks! The water glasses were pink and nice touch to go with the business name. The waiter was nice and friendly. The service was a little slow and it was pricey too. We sat outside patio area and was a nice day. It was our first time here

The place had a good vibe and the food was quite interesting. The tortilla soup and the pink tacos were the best! The service could have been better as we had to wait a long time to get cutlery, etc but overall a decent place.

Ohhhh this place serves damn good tacos I got coconut shrimp taco when I bit into it I had to close my eyes because there was so many flavors rushing to my mouth at first I was trying to distinguish them all I ended up giving into the flavor. The decor is really super cute. They had a DJ playing music. It’s painted pink outside, I feel like the aesthetic matters when you’re eating food. The staff were very friendly and cool. The best part is the to go boxes. is Taco shaped. It’s got three sections that you can put three tacos in. It’s just really they thought of everything valet parking space to eat I definitely will be back.

Pink taco is a staple place on sunset, parking might be hard to find thru street parking. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable definitely good on recommendations. Menu is easy! And they have a good happy hour menu as well. We grabbed margaritas which were on the happy hour menu and were able to make it spicy so that’s a plus they also come in tall glasses. Also the tacos were really fulfilling for 2 and they have bottomless chips and salsa I believe. It was at midday and slower times so no wait at all to get a table they do happy hour from 3-7 on weekdays I believe. Overall a great place If you’re looking for Mexican on sunset!

Pink taco was so much fun for me. I loved all of the plants and skulls decor all over the place. Our server was super friendly (although service in general a little slow) and our food was good! We went during happy hour and got the queso bean dip, and the OG pink tacos (2) to split (we were still so full from lunch). Both were so delicious and I definitely recommend. I also ordered the pink fried ice cream. After waiting 25 minutes I finally asked if they could just cancel it and bring the check so we could leave. They did bring the check and didn’t charge us for the ice cream. Once we were done paying they did bring it out for me to go which was really nice! I actually didn’t love it though. It was fine but I thought the ice cream didn’t have much flavor and the cinnamon tortilla strips kept tasting like fried onions to me so I stopped eating those quickly. Overall good, but I’d skip the ice cream next time! Oh, parking wasn’t amazing here. They have a public lot beside it for $10, but we did find some street parking nearby. We still had to pay but it was much cheaper to do by the hour. Just be careful to check the signs well!

Solid spot for a Taco Tuesday with $4 tacos and $10 margs. Pink Taco has a nice and upbeat energy to it that is complete with music, fireplaces and outdoor seating. The service is quick and attentive and the drinks are pretty strong. We tried most of the taco flavors offered which were all tasty and tiny. Don't expect anything fancy about Pink Taco, but great pick for good food and good vibes.

What a super cool and colorful restaurant! First off I absolutely love the bright neon lights and the very pretty bar and outdoor seating area. Not to mention the whole upstairs which has its own cantina vibe that makes it different from downstairs. They have a great happy hour ($8 margaritas and beer buckets among other items) and even when it’s not happy hour I was able to eat and beer for $30 for which in la is not so bad (they had a can of beer for $6) I got the chicken taco bowl which was absolutely delicious, I lovee the pickled onions on top and the fresh warm basket of chips and homemade salsa that come with every meal are mmm mmm mmm! Gary the manager is super nice and gave me a tour of the upstairs which was really cool and there’s another huge really pretty bar up there, along with a private dining area and another cantina looking restaurant seating area. Upstairs can apparently be rented out for private parties and events! And Danielle the bartender was super sweet and totally on point, over all I really really like this LA gem. I think it’s in a super fun location, but def might be a pain if you drive over Lyfts/Ubers are recommended lol

good food, great staff, can't say anything negative about this place. Prime location right on the sunset strip...could easily walk from here over to saddle ranch once this place closes at midnight.

1.5 Yeesh. Looks like I am taking my BW act to the west coast. It also looks like the event planners who set up this outing were a few years too late to capture the magic of what Pink Taco was. I appreciate the address (Sunset is always a good place to bring curious out of towners) but that was about it. Oh! I liked the calavera art on the walls. With that out of the way... Pe#. Ur1ne. Number one. The smell hit you as soon as you walked in... which is impressive given the no wall patio entry. At first I thought maybe I'd stepped in/walked through something (it *is* Sunset) but no. It was the venue. I definitely knew this as the smell became even more concentrated as we made our way upstairs to our private group area. In my nose. In my mouth. In the back of my throat. In my eyes. On my clothes. All I could smell/taste was nastiness. It wasn't just me. Soon (immediately?) my co-workers started murmuring about the 'ambiance.' There was no getting around it: something was VERY wrong. I understand that sewage issues arise and they are usually out of the venues' control. This isn't my first rodeo. In that case: close. Apologize and close. And yet the restaurant/bar was open for business. The (very nice) employees laid out table after table of the fabled pink taco, guacamole, quesadillas, and mushroom tacos but there was absolutely no way I could gag down food with so much funk in the air (and, unfortunately, funk taste in my mouth and nose). Not even tray after tray of passed margarita could make things better. Some of my co-workers leaned into the moment and blacked out on free booze. As much as I am loathe to pass up a good marg, I was in no mood to imbibe when I felt like gagging. I spent a respectable amount of face time there (admittedly in a corner with a napkin (I had in my coat; not from the venue) over my nose) before I texted a friend to pick me up. I was shocked at the number of unbothered revelers in the building. I'd already ascertained that the smell wasn't in my head. How were so many people unmoved? Angelenos, are you used to nasty? To put a fine point on it, when my friend arrived to pick me up, he addressed me as only a childhood friend could: 'Bro, did you pe# yourself?'

Unfortunately this was one of the worst taco places I have ever been to... The service was OK. The ambiance was nice but the tacos were over salted. It could have been whoever the cook was that day but I haven't been back in a few years because of how salty things were. I think there are multiple locations but after this experience I haven't tried any of the others.

Terrible service. The service was so bad. We regretted coming here due to the bad service. We showed up and were starving. We were seated inside the back dining area, since it was cooler than the rest of the restaurant. I'm sorry but when it's 104 outside, I don't wanna sit outside in the sun. We were seated and waited 20 minutes. No one came over. We didn't have drinks yet, even water. After 20 minutes, I flagged down the host and asked who was our waiter. We waited another 5 minutes and our server named Michael, finally came over. We ordered water and iced tea. And put in our food order, since we already had 25 minutes to stare at the menu. We waited another additional 10 minutes for a water and iced tea to be brought to us. Ridiculous man. Then 5 minutes later, he comes back with chips and salsa. Bro, we've been here for 40 minutes and you are just barely bringing us chips and salsa and water. It was just bad service. Our food apparently got messed up. We ordered no sour cream on the lobster enchiladas and they put sour cream by accident. They had to remake them. Eventually, we got our food, and most was cold. So, the tacos and quesadilla were definitely made before and sitting there when they remade the lobster enchiladas. Soggy quesadilla and tacos were the same. My lobster enchiladas were good. My fiancé liked the OG tacos. But these were not good enough to come back here. The service was just so bad.

I absolutely adored this restaurant. Let alone the area. This was our first time here and we received excellent service as soon as we walked in. We walked to Pink Taco from our hotel so we didn't need parking. However, it looked like they offered valet parking only but I would call beforehand to confirm. We came here for a late dinner and the first thing we noticed was the lighting outside of the building. You can't miss this place! I swear I walked by Pink Taco 3-4 times before deciding to eat here. The host in the front quickly sat us. From then on, our dining experience went smooth. Our server was so friendly and always made sure we had everything we needed. I ordered the original pink taco (the tortillas were pink!) and chicken drummettes. Yum! Overall dining experience was perfect. I wish I had more to say but I need to find another excuse to visit again. This will be our new go-to restaurant whenever we're staying in the area!

If you're looking for a great spot for date night (with a comedy show nearby) or a ladies' night out, this is the place. The music is upbeat and fun, and the restaurant is picture-worthy. Parking is $20 at the lot next door. The food is good, but not spectacular for the price; you're definitely paying for the ambiance. The portions for salsas and sauces are quite small, like for a baby. but they give you a generous amount of chips. We ordered the guac (lacking a bit of flavor), street corn (could use more cheese, or cheese in general I don't think it had any), and I got the asada tacos (the meat could use more seasoning). The service was excellent. I believe our waiter's name was Andrew, but I could be wrong since the music was loud and my hearing isn't the best. Overall, I would recommend it.

I've been to several Pink Taco locations, and most recently I was at the one in Miami...their food was pretty good! However, the Hollywood location was subpar. I ordered the carne asada tacos and they were overcooked, dry, and the tacos came apart as i picked them up! I was willing to pay $20 for three fantastic tacos, but the bland taste and the dryness of the meat really didn't constitute that price! It was close to eating beef jerky! I know this location can do better. Now for the service, it was great!

We randomly stopped here on a Saturday afternoon. Parking is horrible and it's $20 even with validation. Surprisingly it was not busy at all and we sat at the bar. It was perfect weather and the patio seating was shaded. The bartender Devin was sooo sweet. I loved her. I don't drink tequila so she offered to make my drink with my preference vodka. Ordered the OG pink tacos. They were good, the crunch on them was great never got soggy. Wish they came with rice and beans or something because I don't believe $6 a taco is worth it no matter how famous they are.

We had a great night and I loved the vibe that Jesse created. Made for laughs and then by great food and on National Margarita Day... what better spot? Chips and crazy drinks to start, then a variety of all the tacos from the OG Pink to fish and my pastor. A long great history and great Sunset strip people watching. Or are they watching us? Either way fun spot. Thx Jesse!

The only place had kitchen open at 10 pm. Big restaurant with very creative and fun design. Loved the decoration and the people who work there were very friendly. We didnt try any drink but im sure they have best Margaritas there ,only from looking at it! I am not sure it was because it was pretty late for the chef, the food was not acceptable. I ordered Steak Fajitas , the meat was really low quality and tasteless but the side was good. The rice and beans , I really enjoyed

God don't like ugly and he ain't to fond of pretty. You all closed down. I posted a positive review when I ordered for delivery. Then I went in person and discovered who you really are. I posted a negative review and management response was to call me "Nancy" lol and stitch both reviews together. I see you have closed down.

Pink Taco has been around for a long time. It was once a very hip spot where people would go before a night out clubbing, or even come to as the spot for the night. They used to have a Cinco de Mayo party that was the place to be. It has had respectable staying power, but has transformed into more of just a Mexican restaurant. Unfortunately, it's not a very good one at that. The steak in the fajitas was too tough to chew and I had to spit it out. The chips were greasy and stale. Still a great location and great ambiance, but the food is just not good.

I've heard about this place and had a friend come here at night but I went during brunch for my friends birthday. It was a Sunday and not that busy. We started at the bar and they have 3 premade margarita machines. They have bottomless mimosas for $20! Amazing prices. You can ask for a pineapple cup for an extra $5. The shrimp taquitos were a bit crunch but the sauce and pickled onions added a lot of great flavor. The Mexican street corn was AMAZING, so much great flavors of lime and a big portion. I wish they had a little music but we enjoyed our time on the patio. Parking is $20 next door.

Super disappointing experience and it felt like a LA tourist trap. We waited more than 20 minutes to place an order and it was at half occupancy on a Friday night. Servers kept walking past us and no one would come over, even when we tried flagging workers down. The food was pretty good, but was not worth coming back for.

Came here recently before a visit to the laugh factory nearby and I was really surprised by how the bad the food was. It taste like we had gotten salad from a cafeteria (I got the chicken salad) complete with the pale lettuce and overly drenched dressing. The drinks are equally low quality, with my pink alcoholic, drink being sugary and just not that good. maybe my expectations were too high, but I thought this place was supposed to be better? The one potentially bright spot was the service, although the waitress was actually too attentive. In the first 10 minutes, she came over three times. Our restaurant visit was about one hour and during the course of that time she came over maybe 10-15 times. It was excessive, unnecessary and kept interrupting our conversations. I don't know if they are trained to do that here but not great. It's like she was trying to get us to eat faster to turn over the table except that half the place was empty. I personally would not come back and overall, I would not recommend this place to others.

All hype and looks. This was definitely a place to take a gamble on. But unfortunately I wasn't impressed. The food was low quantity. However the black refried beans were great. They charged $8 for chips and salsa. But Atleast the chips were good. But on a lighter note The service was great ! We had a very attentive waitress. The decor of the location was awesome and perfect for pictures. The drinks were strong. - so if your looking for drinks and chips and salsa .. this is your place. I gave this a 3 because for me, the food wasn't worth the price and wasn't that great. But aside from that I think you should try it for yourself!

There are many aspects to the quality of a restaurant. Pink Taco masters it for me. In terms of the food, it is at times great! I had a great fish burrito and the size was ideal and perfectly spiced. It felt both clean and satisfied! The ambiance was excellent'. Love the people watching and the energy here! Always a great time !! The service was very good and they helped me with my order to choose the ideal combination! It also helped that this was the night before the Oscars and the energy all over Sunset Boulevard was electric! This is a fun place and recommend highly!!!

The dood was good. The brunch plate was OK. The nachos were delicious but eat them while they are hot. Service was not the best. Seemed as though there was a shortage on staff. I love the look of the place. I would love to meet a large group dor drinks. Parking is a joke. $20.00 . i will have to return to try more dishes. S

I did a to go order for work team during lunch. The place looks great with decor & I'm sure it's poppin at night. It was really uncomfortable before ordering the person taking an order was arguing with the cleaning man. got awkward. But any who regardless, I wish they had more vegetarian/vegan options. The pink tacos have cheese and tofu chorizo embedded together so the cheese can't be removed & you can't use tofu chorizo in another item separately. Their rice has chicken broth and pinto beans have lard but you can ask for black beans. I ended up getting a burrito with grilled veggies, black beans, guac, lettuce & pico with side of hot sauce.

I've been here a few times and at this time was pleasing as well. We made reservations early on Cinco de Mayo and got seated at our requested area and Lucia was our server. She did her job well, but didn't seem too enthused about it until the very end of the meal when the check came, then she smiled. We only wanted drinks and appetizers because we were going to another party so we had a couple of margaritas each and they brought us chips and salsa and the salsa is very good. The chips are nice and warm and fresh. The chicken Tinga taquitos were excellent. Love the ambience. They took care of us and the food is always really good. Will come back.

I'm never disappointed when I come here! I first came here when I had my graduation party and it was amazing. Everyone loved the food. The decorations are a bit overwhelming (skulls everywhere), which is probably the only downside to this restaurant. This was my fourth time here and the food still hit the spot. They give you free chips and salsa to start. The street corn is soooo good. Definitely my favorite appetizer. The staff are always super nice and welcoming. They don't forget about you, checking on you periodically. The food comes out ~10-15min after you order, even when they're busy. And the food is HOT when you get it. This will always be a go-to spot when I'm in town! Dog friendly! I was able to sit in the patio area with my doggo. I ordered him a side of chicken & rice. He approves!

We rolled up with no reservations. We were able to be seated immediately on the partial inside partial patio with the dog. So this is dog friendly. The food came out very quickly. The vegetarian OG taco was incredible. It comes in a pink taco shell. It was so delicious. Still very impressed. At how quickly the food came out and the presentation was very lovely, the ambience was quiet. There was a little bit of games on the TV but other than that it was really wonderful.

Loved my first visit so much, decided to come back the following week. I dropped in on a Thursday with a friend during our lunch break. We had to pick up something from down the street so we decided to eat here on the way back to my place. The first visit was phenomenal. We shared the guac and got an order of tacos. I got the al pastor. My friend got the lobster. I chased my meal down with the cucumber cilantro marg which is my personal fave. I had it on my second visit as well. The service was beyond top notch. David took such great care of us. He went above and beyond. There was a little bit if a mixup with a dish that got dropped off at our table that wasn't ours. They decided to let us keep it so we ended up getting to try the asada tacos on the house. We decided to end our meal with the brownie which didn't turn out the way we thought it would. David came over to check on us so we told him how disappointed we were. The brownie was hard and it honestly didn't taste good. He took it out of our tab without us prompting him to. My second visit was just as great. Jeff took great care of us. I enjoyed the second meal much better. I came in with a different friend. We shared the guac since I loved it so much the first time around. I had the chicken tacos which may be my favorite. The churros was a better dessert choice. I highly recommend sitting outside closest to Sunset if you're into people watching. I want to give a personal shoutout to their staff for being the best. From the front of the house (so damn friendly), to the bartenders for making such great drinks, to the bussers who were always so quick to clear empty dishes and/or refill water and the servers who are such pros. I definitely took note of how they took orders by memory. I highly recommend dropping by during happy hour. See y'all soon!

The staff was awesome, the hostess was fun and welcoming. Our server was friendly and very tentative, until our food came out. The food runners brought our food to the table. My husband ordered the lobster enchiladas, no onions & no cream, it came out topped with onions. It was not a big deal, he picked them off. One friend ordered chicken caesar, it came without chicken. He asked for a side of chicken twice, but it never came. another friend ordered the lobster enchiladas and her food didn't come out until 10 min after ours. That was frustrating for her. I ordered the cobb salad, no beans, no corn, no tortillas. It came out with only cucumber and cheese. When I told the food runner, he blamed the server and asked what i wanted on it so he can correct it. It came out EXACTLY the same. I didn't want to complain again so I ate my cucumber cheese salad and asked for a side of chicken. Thankfully my children's food came out perfect. The margaritas and micheladas were delicious, definitely would recommend this place for drinks only! And the vibe was awesome, loved the music and ambiance!!

My husband and I used to LOVE this place. We'd always sit on the patio with our pups, he'd get a taco bowl, and I'd get some enchiladas. But our favorite was the margaritas! They were delicious and we'd definitely have our fair share. We hadn't been there in a few months so we decided to go back on this gorgeous Sunday afternoon. Well the patio was closed so they sat us in the covered section, which was fine because I was kinda cold anyway. We sat there for 10 minutes with no one coming up to us, no chips brought to the table, not even any water. My husband finally flagged down this server who liked high or hung over or I dunno what. She came over and was like oh, who did they tell you was your server? Uhhh they didn't tell us anything. So she was like, ok well lemme go make sure I'm not taking anyone's table. Cool, I get it, but she was the only server serving tables in our section so who's table could she possibly be stealing? I used to be a server, I know all the lame excuses, but whatever, I give it a pass, because I've been there before. When she comes back we tell her we're ready to put in our whole order. I order a marg, plate of nachos with Al Pastor, and a side of their delicious Diablo sauce. She writes it down and goes, I'm sorry, other than the Al Pastor tacos, what else did you want? So I'm like, no Al Pastor nachos, a marg, and a side of the Diablo sauce. She's like oh ya, sorry, cool is that all? What do you mean? My husband hasn't even ordered anything yet. Bad sign. Finally someone brings us chips and salsa but still no water. And when the margaritas finally got there, I was so sad. They weren't in their usual rocks glad but in a pint glass, and the whole top half was clear and fizzy, like they put soda water in it. We stir them up, and yup, soda water. They tasted like lime soda. I was so bummed, because I loved their margs. So then our food comes out and my husband doesn't have any meat in his taco bowl and I'm missing the Diablo sauce I ordered, but our server is nowhere in sight. We finally let the server know and she's like, oh. She comes back and is like ya I don't know why they didn't put meat in your taco bowl. And then she looks at me and is like, um ya they said something about your salsa isn't ready or something and it's gonna be 10 minutes but I can get you a different salsa. Why is salsa gonna take 10minutes to be ready? But ok. Finally another guy comes out with a taco bowl that has the wrong meat but hell, at this point we'll just take the meat. We ask him for the Diablo sauce and he comes right back out with it. So much for the salsa not being ready and taking 10 minutes. Pretty sure our server was just stoned or something. My nachos were super gross and to top it off, they had this big nasty course hair wrapped around and cooked into one of the pieces of meat. I was so ready to leave before this, but that was the last straw. I didn't drink my nasty soda water margarita or the nasty, fatty, hairy nachos. And the server was god awful. Super bummed about this place hitting rock bottom and will never be going back.

Nice ambience the drinks were great, and the food was just as good. Definitely would recommend this spot and you never know who you're going to spot here. Service was just.

This place is still good since pre-pandemic. Love how they still give their epic free chips and salsa, and one of the best you can get period. Their beer prices are fair but cocktails have definitely got the pandemic tax on them, but taste great. Food is a little overpriced now too but it's still decent portions. Staff here is very friendly and service is great as well

Pink taco was so much fun for me. I loved all of the plants and skulls decor all over the place. Our server was super friendly (although service in general a little slow) and our food was good! We went during happy hour and got the queso bean dip, and the OG pink tacos (2) to split (we were still so full from lunch). Both were so delicious and I definitely recommend. I also ordered the pink fried ice cream. After waiting 25 minutes I finally asked if they could just cancel it and bring the check so we could leave. They did bring the check and didn't charge us for the ice cream. Once we were done paying they did bring it out for me to go which was really nice! I actually didn't love it though. It was fine but I thought the ice cream didn't have much flavor and the cinnamon tortilla strips kept tasting like fried onions to me so I stopped eating those quickly. Overall good, but I'd skip the ice cream next time! Oh, parking wasn't amazing here. They have a public lot beside it for $10, but we did find some street parking nearby. We still had to pay but it was much cheaper to do by the hour. Just be careful to check the signs well!

Met some friends for a late lunch. We had a horrible experience. This place is filthy. They sat us at a table and chairs that were not clean. The glasses and silverware were stained with food particles. The bathrooms are absolutely disgusting. Service was incredibly slow. The food was really bad. They messed up our order and tried to overcharge me on the bill. Do not go here.

Go! Just go! Get the OG Pink Taco, you won't be disappointed. All the tacos we tried were awesome, but the Pink OG was consensus winner. I went with Mezcal margarita and it too did not disappoint. Go! Stop reading this and go.

Not bad, not amazing. Quick rundown. Stopped in for a quick bite at the bar and their happy hour menu (which went up again in the last few months) ordered the street corn, quesadilla and the veggie tacos Street corn 7.5/10 for $9 at happy hour, give me a full corn or at least half of a large corn. Seemed like they took a medium sized corn and cut it in 3rds. The food itself was very good, just the portion was wrong. You are saving $0.30 on the product, but shorting the customer. Quesadilla 4/10 the quesadilla is a staple of every Mexican restaurant and. Pretty hard to mess up... it's a tortilla and cheese...but you have to actually melt the cheese. The cheese inside was cooked just enough to hold the sides of the quesadilla together, but not enough to be cohesive. You still check the individual strands. Props for the guacamole that came with it Veggie tacos 9.5/10- super freaking tasty . Great combination of ingredients and the shell was tasty even by itself. Great job and strongly recommend . -side note. Bar tender was nice enough, was doing set up, no complaints

Used to love this place, have been over a dozen times, usually before a show at the comedy store. However our last two visits were pretty bad and we'll need to find a new regular place. First, the food has gone downhill. The queso here used to be a big draw - creamy, cheesy, well seasoned, and delicious. Now it's loaded with vegetables and hardens almost immediately, making it hard to get a bite without breaking your chip. The chips are stale now, whereas they used to be warm and fresh. Also, the pink tacos and "the bell" (now gringo tacos) used to be tasty, but they've changed the formula and are under seasoned with very little taste. Last week, called day of to make a reservation for 12 people. It was a Tuesday, no problem, they accepted the reservation. We showed up, and they said they had no record of the reservation. The guy said, I remember taking your call and reservation, but it didn't stick. Okkkk, should still be fine because the restaurant is nearly empty, and huge. Nope! They tried to put us in this basement room with benches that weren't facing each other, with music blaring loudly. Unacceptable for elderly members of our crew. They then said, this is the only place you can sit, we don't have your reservation and we can't help you. I suggested 2 tables of 6, and then after exasperated sigh and rolling of eyes, they set 2 tables in the main area. Almost wish we hadn't figured it out for them because the food was disappointing. Hoping things go back to the way they used to be, service and food-wise.

Truly a hidden gem on the strip, with all the feels of early 2000s Hollywood. Everything was delicious, service was personable, friendly, and GREAT at helping us navigate the menu. My friends ordered the Spicy Margarita & Something Pink, while I had the Agua Fresca - they raved about their margaritas! Fajitas are HUGE and so good (as was the Pink Taco, Street Corn & Guacamole). Music was so good - the DJ was absolutely on point! Definitely an industry spot, and we will be back soon!

Came here with my husband tonight. Server was great tonight!! And NO automatic tip!!! I love that because I don't believe tip should be automatic where service maybe subpar. Thank you for changing that policy!!! Our server was deserving of a tip. Great job Taylor!!!

So after a exceptionally night at the sun rose my GF & I went to try this place since it was late in the night and still open. No waiting time at all and the tables choices were nice by the heater. The service was decent and but the table had some Balancing issues and was spilling our drinks. The food was ok and the waiting time for it was more than usual. My expectation after looking at the photos on Google seemed well but did not meet. The place did have some nice art and other props to it.

Participated in Dine LA. Colorful and vibrant space as to be expected on Sunset. It's a great spot pre- or post going out on the town in Hollywood. Parking is available to the left of the restaurant for $20 (cash only) at least on Saturdays. The guacamole and taquitos were great. Enjoyed the carne asada enchiladas as well - carne asada was tender and flavorful sauce. The fried ice cream was whimsical but I didn't really taste vanilla from the vanilla ice cream. The fruity pebbles, cajeta and tortilla chips really brought in the flavor for this sundae. I do wish the music was turned down just a tad so you can better hear the wait staff (and so they can hear you) as well as hear the person sitting across from you.

Araceli is sooo welcoming and has a gorgeous smile which I noticed each time she checked on my table. Taco Tuesday was memorable for me, this being my first trip to LA! The playlist had a weekend fun-times mood going for what's often a mundane first part of a work week. Definitely will return next trip out!

So my sister in law wanted to try this place it and let me say it didn't live up to expectations. I would ambiance seem cool, place looked ok. Service was good didn't take long to get seated. I would say food is a bit over priced. We order the corn of the cob as appetizers and that was delicious. Had the 3 al pastor tacos and they lacked flavor and bite. Tried the birria taco and it was just ok as well as consume. Don't think I would go again.

The food is so delicious and the atmosphere of Pink Taco is sooo fun, especially at night! We came for a birthday dinner and couldn't have picked a better venue. Our party of 12 was seated in a private downstairs dining area and were so well attended to by our waiter, who gave the birthday girl a frozen mango margarita (Mango, slush, chile-lime salted rim; she said it was the best margarita she's ever had!) and oreo churros on the house to celebrate her birthday. The free chip & dip was also so good I would've ordered it as a paid dish. Our table ordered the big barbacoa burrito, OG pink tacos (must order!), Baja tacos, carne asada tacos, al pastor tacos, and carne asada taco bowl. Everyone was very satisfied with their food and overall dining experience!

Love the place here and it's all because of Miranda and Devin!! Miranda is sooo sweet and I love her service, and makes the visit worth it. She is very welcoming and really makes you feel comfortable the minute you step into the restaurant. Miranda has a warm smile and a beautiful radiating energy! Devin is also amazing! Her energy is outta this place and we really enjoy our time whenever we visit Pink Taco! Best two employees in this place hands down and I always hope to see them whenever we come here. Thank you Miranda and Devin for everything you do!!
