Reviews
We kicked things off with their aguas frescas, the perfect balance of sweet + refreshing. Then dove straight into their ceviche, bright, citrusy, and loaded with flavor in every bite.
Next up: the chicken tamale — soft, steamy, comforting, and everything you want in a tamal done right
But the real star? The OG Mini Taco Sampler. A little lineup of all their greatness in one plate. My top picks:
Mole Poblano — rich, complex, and slightly sweet
Chicharrón — melt-in-your-mouth tender with all that slow-braised goodness
Bistek en Salsa Roja — bold, saucy, and full of flavor
If you haven’t been to Guisados yet, consider this your sign. And if you have… you already know the obsession is real
CONS: If you’re someone who likes to sit outside, you might not enjoy it here—the corner intersection and passing train can get really loud. Inside is definitely the better choice!
Prices aren’t clearly shown, if at all, which is not great. Order some food and roll the dice on the price.
This popular taco spot in Los Angeles is nothing like your ordinary taco joint.
What makes them special? The fillings aren’t grilled—they’re slow-simmered to perfection.
Each flavor tastes like a home-cooked dish, lovingly stewed over time.
“Guisados” means “stewed dishes” in Spanish, and honestly, you can almost smell the comfort in the name.
These tacos aren’t stacked for show or dressed up with trendy toppings.
Instead, they’re all about soulful flavors cooked with care.
Every bite is rich with sauce, melt-in-your-mouth meat, and that quiet kind of love that comes from perfect seasoning and patience.
️ Gently spiced, tender meats wrapped in warm, handmade corn tortillas—
one bite, and happiness spills out.
This isn’t just a taco.
It’s a tiny universe of Mexican soul, telling a story through taste—
the kind you remember with your heart and crave again the moment it’s gone❤️
Must-Try Flavors — each one full of flavor and personality:
1. Cochinita Pibil (Yucatán-Style Pork)
Melt-in-your-mouth pork with a hint of tangy heat—one bite and your heart explodes with happiness!
2. Bistek en Salsa Roja (Beef in Red Sauce)
Tender beef soaked in a rich, slightly spicy red sauce. Perfect with their handmade tortillas.
3. Tinga de Pollo (Tomato-Braised Chicken)
Flavorful shredded chicken stewed in tomatoes and onions—simple, warm, and comforting.
4. Chiles Toreados (Grilled Spicy Peppers)
A spicy kick for the bold! Packed with heat and flavor for true chili lovers.
5. Sampler Plate
Six mini tacos, each with a different flavor—like a taco tasting party you’ll want to repeat again and again!
❤️❤️Clean, cozy, and top-notch service—those three alone already make it worth the visit!
But the real highlight? Every single dish is insanely delicious—like a flavor party dancing on your taste buds! ❤️
Definitely saving this spot and already planning our next visit!❤️
My go-to is their OG mini taco sampler plate, it comes with the steak picado, bistek Roja, tinga, mole, chicharron & cochinita pibil. And I highly recommend trying their chicharron (deep fried pork rinds braised in Chile verde). Simply the best!
I noticed that they have expanded their menu these days. We also had the ceviche tostada, and I must say, it was unexpectedly fresh! They also have tamale, quesadilla, and breakfast options (breakfast only before 11am)
Simply put, one of the best stewy tacos in LA!
