The Most Popular Tacos in Los Angeles

Thankfully, you don’t have to simply guess what the most popular tacos are! The Food Network did the hard work for us and found the top five tacos in the country. These are the tacos that made the list:

#1 Fish Tacos

Also known as Tacos de Pescado, these delicious tacos are number one for a big reason. They consist of grilled or fried white fish filet that is then topped with cabbage, pico de gallo, and sour cream. Add a splash of lime and you’ll feel like you’re eating on the beach!

#2 Carnitas Tacos

This taco is made from pork shoulder that is braised or simmered for several hours in its fat, similar to pulled pork. When the taco meat is tender, we pull it apart into tiny shards and serve it on warm, delicious tortillas. 

#3 Al Pastor Taco

Tacos al pastor is a wonderful blend of Mexican and Middle Eastern cuisine. These tacos are prepared by “shawarma” cooking the pork in a slow-turning vertical rotisserie and marinating it in guajillo chiles and achiote. We use the same cooking style and then add a pineapple wedge to the top of the pork to give the tacos a sweet, tangy kick.

#4 Tacos de Barbacoa

This is another fantastic fusion food, blending in the flavors and style of the Caribbean. To make the taco, our taco catering company slow cooks a whole beef cheek or roast in the oven or stovetop, then finishes it on the griddle to char the meat. It’s delicious with cilantro and onion.

#5 Carne Asada Tacos

Tacos de carne asada originally come from Sonora, Mexico. This is one of the world’s top cattle-raising locations. The steak is marinated and grilled over charcoal to give it a smokey taste. Then, it is chopped into tiny pieces and served on a flour tortilla. Be sure to add onions, cilantro, and avocado guacamole!
