  The al pastor burrito with cheese is probably the best burrito I've ever had, and I grew up in San Diego.

  This must be one of the last taco spots this side of LA that has tacos for a $1.25 that are also delicious. All the meats your heart can desire (within reason, you damn carnivore!).
  
  Burritos and quesadillas are $5! They're so good foo! Ugh, man. They cook up your burrito then leave it opened so you can head to the salsa bar (HAHA JK it's not a freaking salsa bar, this isn't Pollo Loco) to top up your burrito before it gets rolled up.
  
  Parking sucks, since lo and behold, it's Beverly Blvd. I stole some lady's parking, didn't think twice, I've got food to order! (Disclaimer: I didn't steal her parking spot, I waited patiently like a pansy)
  
  Also, cash only. No apple pay, android wallet, crypto currency up in here. The lady handling the cash was nice.
  
  -1 star for cleanliness. They cook meat in the street. I mean, if you're a germaphobe, I wouldn't recommend this place, or any dining establishment, so good luck to ya.

  Living a block from this street taco stand makes late night cravings very convenient. Definitely don't expect a super clean place because they're cooking outside in the open. They have a table with a few chairs for customers but I'd imagine most people take it to go.
  
  Despite popular opinion, I prefer this over the Leo's Taco Trunk in Echo Park. Their salsa bar has really good spicy options! It always leave my stomach warm and painfully regretful.
  
  For $1.25 per taco, you get pretty good quantity of meat. Definitely give it a shot if you're looking for a quick and cheap dinner.

  Having only recently discovered what I feel are the best street tacos in Los Angeles in Tire Shop Taqueria, everything else has fallen just a bit short of those sky high expectations. Tacos Ochoa, located where Taco Man was before they seemingly closed shop, doesn't quite live up to the very high bar set by some of Los Angeles' best.
  
  Star 1: How were the service and atmosphere?
  
  Tacos Ochoa is your standard run of the mill taco truck, but I do appreciate that they have the pastor spit rotating outside for all to see. Taco Man did this same thing, and it's clear that Tacos Ochoa are doing their best to replicate that loyal following. Star Granted.
  
  Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost?
  
  At $1.25 each, these were some of the most affordable tacos I've encountered to date, and none of the portion size was sacrificed on account of that low cost. Condiments are DIY style, which I'm typically not a fan of but it comes down to personal preference - as I see it it's good value. Star Granted.
  
  Stars 3 and 4: How was the food?
  
  These were good tacos, but I wouldn't go as far as to say they were great tacos. The tortillas were just okay, and the meats, while generously portioned, didn't pop with flavor and freshness in the way that I've come to expect. Kudos to the excellent salsas and fresh peripherals, but these weren't elite. Single Star Granted.
  
  Star 5: Would you eat here every day if you could?
  
  There are simply too many better taco options in LA to say that Tacos Ochoa will be a regular stop for me. No Star Granted.

  Hands Down, Bar None, Best Tacos in Los Angeles.
  
  I lived super close to Ochoa's a few years ago and discovered them after a long night. I can tell you that in my experience, from eating tacos multiple times a week for many years in Los Angeles, Ochoa's is the best. We have moved up into the SGV and will drive down through traffic to get their burritos, quesadillas, and tacos. Asada is FIRE, Carnitas is FIRE, Pastor is FIRE... everything... FIRE.
  
  If you haven't hit up this spot yet, you gotta do it. It's a chill local spot, so don't ruin it, but also - hit it up.
