4 Restaurants to Try This Weekend in Los Angeles: July 26 | Eater LA

"When it's Friday, Saturday, or Sunday and I don't want to cook or drive far, I head to a Tacos Tamix truck — they have locations throughout the Southland (Pico-Union, Mid-City, Santa Fe and Olympic, Culver City) and are a reliable spot for some of the region’s best tacos. The tortas, mulitas, and burritos are on point, the salsa bar is nicely assembled, and the operation is well-oiled so orders are produced within minutes. I like placing an assorted order of three or four tacos — carne asada, beef cheek, al pastor, buche, or suadero — which come on a slightly flimsy plate; it's perfect for sharing late into the night (check the truck’s operating hours, many run until 2 a.m.)." - Eater Staff

The 38 Essential Tacos to Try in Los Angeles

"Another Oaxacan owner, Rolando Martinez, employs the same strategy as Leo’s, using a badass marinade and recruiting veteran al pastor taqueros from Mexico’s street food institutions to make his al pastor. The alambres, a hash of sautéed al pastor, peppers, onions, bacon, and Oaxacan cheese are a DIY taco party, and on any given night, Tamix might be the best in Los Angeles for their al pastor, too." - Bill Esparza

Even in Taco-Loving LA, These Burritos Reign Supreme

"Though Tacos Tamix is best known for its eponymous dish, the burritos are also excellent. Order the al pastor burrito, which comes with marinated pork shaved off a rotating trompo, beans, rice, salsas, cilantro, and onions." - Rebecca Roland, Eater Staff

We Seem to Be Dealing With Major Taco Shrinkage in LA | Eater LA

"While visiting Tacos Tamix in Pico-Union last week I saw winding lines and noticeably smaller tacos, and a diner next to me even remarked that $3 a taco felt excessive, calling tacos 'a basic thing'—an exchange that highlighted the tension between shrinking portions and the pressure operators face to keep prices reasonable." - Mona Holmes

Where to Eat the Best Oaxacan Food in Los Angeles | Eater LA

"One of Leo’s main competitors (along with the Chilango-owned Los Güichos) is another Oaxacan, Rolando Martinez, who also brings in veteran taqueros from Oaxaca to tend to his al pastor spit. Tacos de al pastor and alambres (a hash of al pastor, vegetables, cheese, and other ingredients) are the best items." - Bill Esparza

I came by here the other night to try out some LA Mexican food. The taco trucks are kind of hit or miss around the city I’ve noticed, with some being outstanding and others just so-so. Tacos Tamix was kind of in the middle ground in terms of LA taco trucks. The salsas were pretty good, especially the salsa verde, and the burrito was a decent size and no overpriced. I got a carne asada burrito with all toppings included. It was good, but kind of lacked flavor, as if the meat hadn’t been seasoned that well. The seating is under a tent, which party-style folding tables and chairs. The salsa bar is in a large metal stand beside the tent. Overall, Tacos Tamix isn’t bad, but it’s also not something to write home about. It’s good in a pinch, but I think the El Flamin taco trucks are better.

Food was delicious but quite small portion, compared to another street vendor nearby. $2.5/taco for what ordered. They forgot to put out the sauce and I forgot it. That s why I felt something missing from the taste. If not, it would taste great.

Legit Mexican food. For lunch time they are at Pico & San Vicente next to Jiffy Lube. 2 dollar tacos. I think it's $2.50 for some type of meats but the amount of meat they give you is great. Tried the double meat muleta and filled me up very well. Very nice owners! Give them a shot!!

The meat was bone-dry, and the tortillas were stiff and hard. When your taco cracks instead of folds, and the filling tastes like jerky instead of fresh carne, nothing else on the plate can make up for it. To top it off, a stray dog was wandering around the truck like part of the staff. Honestly, the food was so rough that the dog probably would’ve enjoyed it more than I did. Twenty years ago, before the taco truck boom, this would’ve been passable — back when you didn’t expect much and were just happy something was open. But today, with so many great trucks raising the bar, dry meat and hard tortillas aren’t just outdated — they’re unacceptable.

Was here last night at 12 midnight and let me tell you the tacos were very delicious. I ordered carne asada...and tacos de cabeza which were cooked perfectly and also had an Horcahta. Great customer service and even except debit or credit cards but the prices are 1.50 more per item then if you pay cash . Plenty of parking with Security Guards present .I give them 5 stars for this visit.

Best taco truck in LA! Juicy al pastor tacos with fresh pineapple. There's also a green guac salsa off screen that was really good. There is seats and tables. That are always clean. The service bar with the salsa, onions, and peppers is also really clean. 10/10 service and food.

Food was good but it gets really cold at night. The Al pastor burrito was yummy but not the best. The orange spicy salsa definitely carried.

The foods feel just like real Mexican food… I gave 4 stars because of the hot sauce which gave me stomachache🥵 but everything was fine!!! Delishhhhh
