Mexicali Taco & Co.

A far cry from their former parking lot grill days, the Mexicali Taco Co. team now owns real estate just outside of Chinatown, and serves up their smoky carne asada & Mexico-delivered tortillas daily. Read more

Churro Borough, an L.A.-based catering company, takes the churro up a notch. They serve two fried-to-order churro discs coated in cinnamon sugar that surround small-batch homemade ice cream . Read more

The Guero is for those of you who like it "Spicy". Not much of a spicy food eater these days but, was still delish. Took out the seeds & it was still Killer! (Starry Kitchen's Recommend!)

Vampiro Combo :Vampiro (quesadilla w/ garlic sauce+choice of meat), Taco (choice of meat) & Choice of Soda or Water. Got mine's with a Guero (Starry Kitchen's + cute cashier 's suggestion)😉*her fave*😜

The Mexicali-style tacos are pretty spectacular at this tidy storefront near Dodger Stadium , packed into the small, plump flour tortillas the owners bring up from Baja a couple of times a week. Read more

This restaurant is known for a few things: excellent flame-grilled carne asada ; thin, chewy flour tortillas , and something called the Vampiro, which combines both into one unholy and glorious mess.

Famous for its vampiros and considered by many the purveyor of the best taco in Los Angeles, Mexicali is also featured at the first annual LA Weekly Tacolandia! Read more

Here it’s the salsa de rajas that sets the nachos apart from the pack, incorporating seasoned roasted chile poblano , roasted Roma tomatoes , fresh onion and a “killer vinegar mixture.”

Vampiro and cachetada are great. Make sure to open them up and top with the great fresh salsas and pickled onions . They're made for topping riffing to make it your own creation.

Great Food!!! Cash only ! Big vehicles park on street. You have to go here. Menu is small but the taste is AMAZING! Great Prices and the people who work there are extremely helpful and courteous.

Wonderful tacos !! We've tried chicken quesadilla , chicken and shrimp tacos and I felt in love with each of it! Definitely worth to be visited :)

Yeah I know. You are thinking what is a cachetada or a Zuperman ? Order both and it will change your life! Even if you can't pronounce it.

Slight spin on tacos if you've accustomed yourself to onions and cilantro . Instead you have red onions , cabbage , bomb sauce, and guacamole as your garnishing . Godspeed.

Parking is limited to street parking since their 3 car lot is usually full and is hard to maneuver. Cash only . Try to order everything in advance as the line is long during lunch but it does move fast

Do NOT overlook the Gueros. They're SUCH a tasty side (and cheap !) And while I'm at, get the classic 1st+Beaudry combo of the Vampiros w/ Chipotle+Garlic sauce inside "yummmmmeeers!"

If you park park at one of the three parking spaces inside, it'll help if you have either a high clearance vehicle, or one that had parking sensors.

It was yummy. The watermelon water was delicious.

Once I tried a mixed meat vampiro with all the fixins...that was it. I still haven't brought myself to try anything else (yet)!

My favorites are the shrimp tacos and the zuperman

The shrimp tacos are so good and so are the vampiros 🧛🏻‍♀️l

Lunch special is Monday through Friday from 11 AM to 2 PM DO IT!

Beans come with eat in orders, but for to go you gotta ask for them, do don't forget - if you want their delicious beans, that is.

Vampiros (quesadillas with garlic sauce ) come with a cebolla

Good shrimp tacos . Good guacamole , and very well seasoned meat.

Try everything, you can't go wrong and don't forget the salsa bar and an agua fresca !

Dine in and take full advantage of the salsa bar . The sangria in a bottle is pretty good but it's non-alcoholic.

All the tacos and salsa bar ! Mmmm

The vampiro, nachos , and shrimp taco is sooo gooooood

Vampiro combo . Upgrade to shrimp taco for extra $1

The shrimp tacos are so good and so are the vampiros 🧛🏻‍♀️
