El Chato Taco TruckA-

5300 W Olympic Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90036 · Mexican restaurant, Hawker stall, Restaurant · Mid-Wilshire

Iconic late-night taco truck with standout al pastor and mulitas, great prices, long lines, cash only, and inconsistent hours; worth it if you can catch them open.

Our take

El Chato Taco Truck earns its A- grade through exceptional food quality—particularly its signature al pastor and mulitas—paired with efficient, friendly service and outstanding value. Reliable execution and a loyal following reinforce its standing as a respected local institution. The grade reflects what it is: a destination street-food experience that delivers bold flavor and authenticity, not a full-service restaurant.

One caveat: Hours can be unreliable; several reviews found the truck closed despite stated times
