One of the best things about LA is all the street taco vendors. Taco Point has gourmet tacos, mulitas, and quesadillas, plus something different, sliders and chimichurri. The corn tortillas are handmade. They also have drinks.

Asada chimichurri slider ($5): This is what they’re known for – it has grilled cheese, brioche bread bun, asada/beef, chimichurri, guacamole sauce, onions and cilantro. I thought it would be a patty but it was chunks of grilled beef. Very messy. It was like a taco only on a soft bun. I liked the brightness of the sauce. The beef had a charred flavor and was a bit chewy.

Al pastor mulita ($4): al pastor, pineapple mole sauce, two handmade tortillas, guacamole sauce, onions and cilantro. There were two types of cuts – thin large pieces and chunks. The thin large pieces were too chewy and some of the chunks were too fatty. However, the tangy sauces were very good and so were the handmade tortillas.

Service was very friendly. The food took a long time but I think they usually have two employees and when I visited, they only had one. Online ordering is available. Cash and card accepted. They had one table set up for two.

Tacos 1986 specializes in Tijuana style street tacos. They started out as a taco stand in Hollywood in 2018 and now have several brick & mortar locations. The menu is simple: tacos, quesadillas, mulitas and vampiros with your choice of carne asada, adobada (aka al pastor), chicken or mushroom. Whatever you order comes with guacamole, chopped onions, cilantro, and salsa. Order at the counter.

Their tortillas are larger than average (more like tostada size) and handmade. The food was ready quickly. The self-serve salsa bar had 5 kinds of salsa, limes, radishes, and cucumbers. The orange habanero salsa is quite spicy (plus).

Mushroom mulita ($4.75): The tortillas weren’t even slightly crispy. They were warm and soft. There wasn’t much filling and the mushrooms were too salty. There was very little cheese.

Adobada vampiros ($5): The al pastor was tender and even fatty but very salty. Or maybe the salsa was too salty? Not much guacamole. The corn tortillas were super hard and crunchy.

The space is small but they have indoor and outdoor counters if you want to stand up and eat.
