Mary’s Taco Truck

Mary’s taco truck is… THE BEST! After moving to DTLA, my roommate and I wanted to find a taco spot. Although we have to drive out here for the taco and it’s probably not the most convenient or nicest part of LA, the tacos here are so worth it. After moving in, we came here 3 times within 5 days!!! Lol!
I’ve tried Mary’s carne asada, chicken, carnitas tacos, and the chicken sope. First time trying a sope so I don’t know how they normally taste like, but my goodness it’s so good here! The meat is always fresh and Mary always tops off the tacos with lots of fresh vegetables (fresh onions and cilantro!)
By far my favorite tacos I’ve ever had! (Within LA, NYC, Seattle, and SF)

The sopes of this truck are to die for. The tortilla has the perfect thickness for that killer bite. The beans and the meat (asada) is so flavorful; and on top the regular shredded cabbage and the queso fresco sopes usually have they put some sour cream… it makes this little sopes the second best in my list! (King tacos’ the first) They’re small compare to other places’ sopes buy they’re just that good that you wouldn’t mind the size of the sope itself. Sopes are the only thing I have tasted from this truck but I am so in love with them that is enough for me to write a review so I can make someone else happy when they get to try «the sopes.» If you love salsa they offer three or four kinds… I heard the red one is the most popular! I could eat four of those sopes without any salsa by myself. Go give them a try.

Carnitas Tacos were tasty and cheap with lots of meat, but covered in al pastor sauce, which was overwhelming. Next time I will order them sin salsa. I will return for sure, maybe to try a burro.

I have been coming this place for 15 years. They have one of the best tacos and tortas. Other stuff are good too but I strongly recommend the tacos, sopes, and tortas.

This taco truck has been on the. hood for years. I rmbr when they
.sell.cassettes.and cds. Glad they sell good food sopes.n.tacos gota try em.

The food is fantastic and Mary is a very nice lady. The place sells mexican food. The sopes are delicious and with the hot sauce is just perfect. The food’s price is cheap. I used to lived in Los Angeles, but I move to bakersfield. I travel every two weeks to enjoy mary’s food.

Very great taco truck ! She gives a variety of sopes, tacos, burritos, even hot wings yes hot wings ! Her can sodas are ALL 50 cents which is amazing, bag of chips are 75 cents, her bigger drinks are all 1 dollar, tacos are 1 dollar, sopes are 1.25. So she’s good for small time spenders but also someone who wants a good meal.

Can’t begin to explain how good this truck is, go all around Los Angeles and find $ 1 sopes that are bomb! I love this truck ! I live around the neighborhood been coming here as a kid and trust me when I say this used to eat them sopes ⁴⁄₇ days a week! Burritos are good ! Respectful and nice lady (Mary of course)

I go to this truck once or twice a week. Mary is awesome and the tacos are excellent… And $ 1 a piece! Highly recommend.

This is the Communities food truck here Doña Mary knows everyone and the food makes you feel like you are back home for zero experience in cooking prior to her food truck opening she has managed to stay alive for 17yrs in the same stop so that alone is a testimony on its own, there are some improvements like the quesadilla needs more green but its overall great the tacos! are excellent. we have schools and courts in the area and everyone comes down to get tacos and sopes n the“special hamburger” this is a great food truck for fast friendly service

Mary’s is such a hit or miss. Some days, her tacos really hit the spot. On these days, the meat is flavorful and tender. On these days, I may or may not return a few hours later for another hit.
Other days, they’re dry or under seasoned. Not really sure why.
Tacos are $ 1 each. Sopes are $ 1.25. Never tried the other stuff. I stick to the carne asada though. It’s her most consistent meat in terms of flavor and texture. I’ve tried the cabeza, but it was really waxy. The pastor is very dry — left me feeling like I had my throat sanded down. Her menu says she has lengua, but it’s never in stock. We were told it’s too expensive.
She doesn’t come on Mondays!

Let’s do this again, I wrote a review prior to this one but since I was talking shit about Andrea V Unilocal decided to pull the review, anyhow I love Mary’s carne asada tacos $ 1 dolla make all ya’ll holla, anyhow the reddish salsa is the bomb diggity it will kick your somewhat ass, also their potato tacos dprado is something something. This is actually a secret spot for me cause I don’t want too many people to take the yumminess out of it, ya’ll know how it goes too many peeps the owner gets to hiking up the prices and the taste and the quality starts going south.

Average taco truck with below average prices. Best in LA? Nope. Best for the price around that area? Absolutely.
Carnivores delight, Vegetarians/​Vegetable lovers nightmare.
I’m by no means a vegetarian– but I do like more options than a plain quesadilla when the urge hits me.
If you want seasoned meat on a tortilla with chopped onions/​cilantro (nothing different here) and cheap cans of coke, you’re in business.
If you want salsa selection, cabbage, radish, guacamole, pico, self-​serve limes, any kind of veggies– not the place for you.

This food truck is at a populous corner, but this place is really a locals truck that does not get much love from the traveling crowd. Most that were eating here knew «Maria» by name. I tried it anyway, since I was in the area for a musical at the Hayworth Theatre. I wasn’t disappointed, but I probably wouldn’t seek out this food truck either. It was live and open on a Sunday evening despite the posted times on Unilocal.
-=-Solo Carne Asada Burrito-​=- Meat was juicy, but maybe a bit too much flavor mixture in here. I wasn’t sure whether I was supposed to get a meaty goodness or a spices goodness from it. It was juicy regardless and I really like that.

This is by far the best taco truck in Los Angeles.
1. It’s the cheapest. $ 1 Tacos, $ 1 Sopes, and $ 0.50 sodas.
2. The tacos are not small at all.
3. You can’t find $ 1 sopes anywhere in California and they taste really good.
For those who don’t eat a lot of mexican food, you guys will like the sopes a lot but the tacos there are the best. And I’m not talking guacamole, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and bbq ranch sauce tacos. I’m talking about the real authentic illegal crossing Mexican tacos. Can’t find cheaper and better.

My husband and I have been to a few local trucks off 3^rd, nothing special, in fact kinda pricey. Mary’s Taco Truck is awesome cuz they’re tacos are $ 1 and burritos $ 4. I haven’t tried the burger but tempted to. The taco and burritos are pretty generous and heavy — usually my man will eat an entire Chipotle burrito (except for the part of the tortilla that gets hard on the bottom) but on one occasion he couldn’t finish Mary’s burrito. They look small but are heavy. We literally walk to this spot when we can scrounge up some change and don’t want to cook dinner. We usually get the same thing, 3 asada tacos for me and 1 asada burrito for the spouse. For $ 7 bucks, you can’t beat that! Plus, its so close! I give it 4 stars cuz we’ve walked over around 8pm on weekdays and she wasn’t there so it made us very sad — especially since one of us was gonna have to cook when we got home. Best way to know is to try it for yourself. :-)

Really not as good as everyone says it is. Maybe it’s because we went after dinner hours? But still, it was only 8 pm. The al pastor was way too salty and both the al pastor and carne asada seemed dry… as if they were made way earlier in the day an just reheated. The cheeseburger was actually better than the tacos. Ironic isn’t it? Overall, the food wasn’t bad– I’ve had worse but I definitely wouldn’t go back.

This place is amazing. Probably one of the best taco trucks out there. I swear the owner is not trying to make any more due to the cheap prices and sheer amount of food she gives you. The $ 1 tacos are pretty solid, pretty standard. My favorite dish has to be the Mojarra Frita, add on the fact that it’s 5 dollars for the sheer amount of food you get and it’s pretty amazing. The owner is extremely friendly, one time I asked her what did her fries taste like and she gave it to me for free along with my order.

This taco truck rules. the sopes are the freakin bomb. i am glad this truck exists. everything is also good but the sopes are the best. the salsas are great. i like the avocado one. the lady (mary?) always aksks you HOW MANY SALSAS and then gives you like 10 cups and lids for your salsas. i wish i had 10 sopes right now i always get the pastor and asada.

Hands down, the best taco truck in LA. I’ve been to them all. Taco Row on 3^rd (Juanitas, Taco Movil, etc.), the taco truck next to both gas stations on Western and Vermont, and others on a quest to see if there is any greater truck than Mary’s Tacos. It used to be called El Quick Taco but they purchased a new truck due to their business doing well actually. The carne asada tacos are the best ever. Pure flavor and the size of the taco is great… all for $ 1 straight up. Compared to them tacos at Mariela’s, King Taco, El Taurino, or Tacos Mexicos, the size and value alone should make you come here. The sauces aren’t that spicy, but if you get the jalepeno chilis on the side, you won’t need them. Mary and her husband run the truck and they’re simply the best.
