Mr. Tako

One of the best Taco Trucks I’ve eaten at. I highly recommend their Carnitas Taco. Their service is fast but not half assed. The lady that was working even gave me a free bottle of water. If you’re out late and craving some good Tacos, this is the place for you.

My first visit to Mr. Tako was last night, September 24^th, after wrapping up a production for a web series in Van Nuys; it won’t be my last visit though, for sure! Getting the plates makes your tacos come out to $ 1.50, and with the crafting and portion size that is put into these tasty treats it’s a steal of a deal for the best tacos I’ve had in some time!
Unfortunately on Wednesday night they don’t have the full menu so I wasn’t able to try their lengua, but with their amazing and timely service, great taste, and fun conversation, Mr. Tako assured I’ll be back to tackle some more tacos real soon.

Man do I love this place! One of the best food trucks in the valley!
If you ever find yourself in Van Nuys or coming off the 405 late, do yourself a favor and stop on by Mr. Tako for some great food!
All of their meat is marinated to fall off the bone deliciousness and they make everything by hand including their salsas.
A major plus is that the owners are so genuinely nice, I’ve had multiple conversations with them and each time I leave happy, full and fat.

I call Sylvia to cater our parties and my guests always ask for her number. She is awesome to work with and the tacos are amazing. I would recommend her to anyone that is having a party or if your doing the food walk thing on Chatworth on Friday nights then stop by and try them. The tacos are absolutely delicious.

Somewhat tasty tacos: carne asada/​al pastor.
We had Mr. Tako at the Granada Hills Friday Food Truck meet. I thought the tacos weren’t too shabby ($ 2 a pop). I did think the tacos lacked a flavorful taco taste though! The carne asada was a bit dry and needed more taste, the al pastor was super greasy. BUT would I eat their tacos again? Sure would. Just average, but enough to eat their tacos again!

There are 3 categories of food trucks that roam the streets of LA.
There are your standard roach coaches as people call them that serve basic American and Mexican fare to businesses and construction sites. The catering trucks that serve the movie industry sort of fall into this category as well but the food is much better.
Then you have the GFT’s, (Gourmet Food Trucks). These are the ones with the fancy paint jobs, small menus and in many cases a trained chef on board.
Then you have the Mexican Taco trucks. That’s the category Mr. Tako belongs in. They serve basic street tacos with 11 meat choices, burritos, quesadillas and so forth.
I should point out here that this particular one is a small trailer with mama inside slinging up some good home made Mexican street food.
I tried 3 of their tacos, chicken, chorizo and lengua, (beef tongue).
The chicken was the most bland of the 3 and tasted pretty average an L.A. street tacos go. The lengua on the other hand was very good with good texture and great flavor. This was the star of the 3. The chorizo was perhaps a little tastier than the chicken but that spicy chorizo flavor wasn’t there.
The service was friendly and the prices are dirt cheap, so that’s all a plus.
Still in all I would eat at this truck again and that’s really the best barometer isn’t it?
And being the generous stalker that I am I’m rounding their 3.5 stars up to 4
Which is enough to get them… STALKER APPROVED
