Angel’s Tijuana Tacos, L.A.’s Street Taco Kings, Open First Brick and Mortar Taquería

Seven years after opening his first stand in North Hollywood, 31-year-old Angel, born and raised in Glassell Park with Guerrero roots, has a whopping 16 stands across the I.E. and L.A.. And now this new home for guacamole-slicked al pastor fresh off the spit on handmade corn tortillas.

If you like feasting from a flimsy paper plate of tacos in the streets of Los Angeles, chances are you’ve had Angel’s Tijuana Tacos at least once.

Masterminded by Angel, a 31-year-old, born-and-raised in Glassell Park with roots from Guerrero, this eponymous taqueria is arguably the street-level king of L.A.’s taco life, with a whopping 16 stands slanging guacamole-slicked al pastor, fresh off the spit on handmade corn tortillas, on a nightly basis.

Whether you’re in the Inland Empire visiting your primo, hungry after a Dodger’s game, hanging out in Long Beach on a day trip, or starving and craving a taco in the San Fernando Valley, an Angel’s taco stand is likely less than 15 minutes away from you.
