LAist

The tacos are consistently on point. From their high-quality stewed meats (think cochinita pibil mole polano) to corn tortillas and complex, spicy salsas , they have something for everyone. Read more

Just discovered that this Guisado's is BYOB , so be sure to bring a six pack. You can't go wrong with any taco on the menu. Try the sampler if you're not sure. Also Horchata + Cold Brew = delicious.

Rainbeau

(multi locations) It’s a different style than most taco places in LA. Fresh in house tortillas + braised meats. My fave is the ‘Bistek en Salsa Roja ’ taco . Their quesadilla too!

Eduardo Hidalgo

In some places in México these would be called "tacos varios" and they are GREAT here! You won't find asada, al pastor , tripas , etc. We ordered the "cochinita pibil " with 3 spicy and its very spicy !!!

Hannah GM

Try a taco sampler and be sure to get the cochinita pibil , mole and bistek en salsa roja ... But all of the tacos are fantastic!

Thirsty James

This is the OG - original Guisados! Love that they have Stumptown coffee ! Oh, and some of the tastiest tacos !

Superb

Be prepared to stuff yourself because everything we tried at Guisados was delicious! Some of the standouts were the mole poblano , the cochinita pibil , and the cheese tamale . Get an horchata , too!

Sukhjeet

new place that opened about a yr ago, bare bones but good, try taco sampler plate , home-made tortillas , there was a mole taco with crema and pumpkin seeds that i loved, close drive from med center

Justin Ordoveza

Definitely a hipster joint. The tacos are really small but intensely flavored. The homemade tortillas and the savory stews are what makes these tacos .

Ellen Hong

This place is amazing!!! Loved everything I tried. Try the taco sampler with a regular fish taco . You will be so happy~! ;)

Carms

Can't chose? Get the sampler! The quesadilla was the best, and we had to order the full size after.

This place has some great tacos . If you don't now what to order get the sampler. They are 6 mini tacos . Also the Armando Palmero is good. Jamaica and lime aid.

The BigB

W.O.W! I mean THESE are Tacos . Just fantastic! All of them. Freshly made and so much taste! Go get them!

Jeannette S.

I tried the Taco Sampler , 6 mini-tacos of the chef 's choice, and it was so yummy! They made with hand made mini-tortillas and the sauces are incredible...definitely not your typical taqueria !

Daniel L.

One of the fiercest tacos you'll ever eat - the Chiles Toreados, featuring five varieties of roasted chiles: green Thai, Fresno, jalapeño , Serrano and habanero peppers .

Rasheed D

Everything is awesome! I had 4 tacos , a steak , chicken (tinga ), sausage and a mushroom . Yumm all around. 3-4 is all it takes.

Erika Harrison

Best tacos . I been teasting some, and this are definitely the best, they bring a original teaste from Mexico.

Serious Eats

This is not the place to come for standard fillings like pastor or asada; Guisados focuses on traditional, homestyle stews and braises.

MJ ..

I put up two pictures up, one of two chicharon tacos and the other of two shrimp tacos . I have to say, I never tried them with blackbeans and have to say they were good. Give them a try. Cheers

Stephanie

Each taco is so masterfully made and so utterly delicious. Try the horchata cold brew !

Marissa B.

Must try the taco sampler ! 6 mini tacos , so many yummy flavors to enjoy :)

Mariana Bermudez

Think twice before ordering the chiles toreados taco ! Believe me, I'm Mexican and eat a lot of spicy food but it only took two bites for me to have my lips, tongue and stomach on fire.

Oliver

I always get me the sampler with an horchata with the secret hot sauce . Amazing. Tiny little bathroom .

RTWgirl Arnette

Some of the best tacos in LA! Get the Arnoldo Palmero agua fresca !

Billy Amp

First time here? Get the 6 taco sampler . Then once you know what you like...crush em' tacos down!!! ????

foodforfel

I crave their chicharron ; it's my favorite filling of all time.

Lucas Macallan

If your number 1 tip when you check-in is about being able to get a side of chiles toreados you should honor it... tortillas are too tick for my taste, i liked cochinita and mole , the rest was meh!

Gloria Chin

get the sampler platter !!! cochinita pibil , horchata , steak picado , mole poblano are all amazing

Emma Kelly

Amazing food. Try the sampler if you don't know what to get. Also, the 4sq special no longer works.

Pescado tacos FTW! Best grilled fish tacos in town , which is saying a lot for LA!

Jazmin Ortega

I like the tacos de pollo con mole with a sprinkling of pumpkin and sesame seeds , washed down with some agua de jamaica.

RJ Dugan

Taco sampler is always good. If there's mole on the menu - get it.

Fahad M

Fresh corn tortillas ! Ask for the habanero salsa if you want it super spicy

Stephanie Stone

Edgar Varela

Get the sampler until you figure out what your favorite tacos are. Unlock the special and get the free Quesadilla .

Christine McCarthy

The spice level in the 3 chile rated tacos will bring tears to your eyes. Beware!!!!

Melon L

Cochinita pibil is the favorite here. Be warned, it's spicy .

Katherine M.

My friend Brian swears the sampler platter are the best tacos he's had in LA.

Stephanie Patafio

If you like heat go for the Cochinita taco level 9 out of 10 spice and the Tinga de Pollo Taco .
