"Located on the southernmost stretch of Westwood Blvd., Tacos Tu Madre is a colorful, affordable taco window serving everything from carnitas to lamb birria to Korean BBQ tacos - and it’s all pretty good. They also quietly serve an all-day breakfast burrito that isn’t the best we’ve ever had, but is definitely in the discussion." - Brant Cox
"Born from the Lime Truck, TLT Food was birthed from the experimentation that went on the road, literally. TLT Food thrives on unconventionality and has whipped up a menu of palate-pleasing New American cuisine. They encourage mixing and matching menu items, instead of being "married" to one dish, considering how high the "divorce" rate is. They serve food with local sustainable ingredients and show off their skills by offering a playful menu." - Grace Duong
"LA would be a better place if there were a Taco’s Tu Madre on every fifth block. For now, we’re just glad there’s one near us. The feel of this place is somewhere between a restaurant and a food truck. It’s a small, colorful building with a casual walk-up window where you order. They have a small indoor area with some bar stools and a few tables. But the emphasis here is clearly on the food, and it seems their low overhead allows them to innovate. They have more than just your typical Mexican style fare with delightfully unconventional tacos like vegan banh mi and Korean barbecue. You really can’t go wrong. Just please make sure you have the red velvet churros for dessert." - Clever Creative
"TLT used to be a well-loved food truck, and its brick and mortar location by UCLA is just as popular. As long as you don’t mind crowding in with a ton of college students who may or may not know how to handle their alcohol, TLT’s tacos are great (especially the ahi tuna). The deal: $3 tacos, all day." - amy clark, kat hong
"As of tomorrow, Santa Monica will have its own location of Tu Madre, which already operates outposts in Westwood, Larchmont Village, West Hollywood, and Los Feliz. Expect a familiar menu of tacos, burritos, bowls, and red-velvet churros, as well as a full bar, at the new location of the casual Mexican restaurant at 606 Broadway." - Karen Palmer
