Tacos Y Quesadillas MartithaB+

1890 E 8th St, Los Angeles, CA 90021 · Taco restaurant, Mexican restaurant · Downtown

Handmade tortilla specialists serving authentic Mexican street snacks from a humble truck; food shines, service can be brusque, area is gritty.

Our take

Tacos Y Quesadillas Martitha excels through handmade tortillas and authentic flavors that draw loyal customers back repeatedly, with food quality that consistently impresses. The humble truck setting and limited seating prevent a higher grade, though strong execution on core offerings and fair pricing make it a reliable neighborhood destination for genuine Mexican street food.

In more detail

This humble truck on the industrial edge of Downtown delivers handmade tortillas and deeply satisfying street snacks. Expect a no-frills scene in a gritty block, quick counter ordering, and food that makes regulars say, "this tastes like home." The setting is basic, but the flavors are worth the detour. The cooking skews traditional rather than trendy: tlacoyos, picaditas, sopes, tacos, and quesadillas pressed to order. Fillings like cecina, asada, and chorizo with potato land with authentic punch, while mushroom add-ons and a solid burrito satisfy bigger appetites. If you come for ambiance you will be disappointed; come for fresh masa and salsas. Families do fine here if they are comfortable with a street-food setup. Kids who like simple flavors can stick to plain quesadillas or mild tacos, while adventurous eaters may enjoy sopes or tlacoyos. There is no kids menu and seating is limited, so plan for a quick, casual bite.
