Braised-taco specialists serving flavorful, saucy fillings on handmade corn tortillas at fair prices; great variety, small portions, counter-service setting in a parking lot with no restroom and paid parking.
Why it gets a B for overall quality
Guisados delivers solid neighborhood taqueria quality anchored by exceptional handmade tortillas and richly braised fillings, particularly the mole poblano and chicharron. However, inconsistent execution at this location—occasional cold food and uneven seasoning—prevents higher grades, while the outdoor parking-lot setting with no restroom limits appeal despite convenient location. Worth visiting for authentic, flavorful tacos if you accept modest portions and weather-dependent seating.
Restaurant Summary
Set beside Beverly Hills boutiques, this counter-service taqueria feels casual and quick, with handmade tortillas and saucy braises that win fans. A diner summed it up: "Small tacos, big flavor." Expect outdoor seating in a parking-lot setting and no restroom. The cooking leans braise-driven and traditional rather than flashy, with standouts like mole poblano, chicharron in verde, and a shrimp taco many call a favorite. The OG sampler is a smart first step, though portions are modest and some items pack serious heat. Families will find simple wins like cheese quesadillas, mild chicken, and fish tacos, but watch the spice on cochinita and chiles toreados. Portions are small, which can suit kids, and there is no restroom on-site, so plan ahead.
