Tacos Los Cholos Hp is a lively Mexican restaurant that pulls you right into the heart of Huntington Park’s vibrant street food scene. Located on Pacific Boulevard, this spot thrives on its authentic, no-frills approach to traditional tacos and Mexican eats, with a focus on grilled meats cooked over a smoky asador giving many dishes a distinct charred depth that local taco lovers appreciate.

The atmosphere here is casual but buzzing, capturing a strong South LA vibe that’s both neighborhood-rooted and welcoming to newcomers hunting for impressive flavors. The presence of a doorman in a bulletproof vest hints at the gritty, authentic energy that defines the place. Inside, the service leans friendly and accommodating, often guiding first-timers through the menu’s variety of cuts—from tripas and pork belly tacos to premium options like prime rib eye and filet mignon.

People come to Tacos Los Cholos Hp mainly for hearty portions of richly flavored tacos, mulitas, and burritos that don’t skimp on meat. The popularity of items like the Tripas, Pork Belly Tacos, and loaded Papa Loka speaks to an appetite for bold, substantial bites perfect for casual gatherings or solo cravings. The variety of seven salsas and thoughtful condiments spread across the table add customized layers of flavor, making each visit a chance to mix and match according to personal taste.

The vibe is upbeat but grounded—this is a place where locals meet after work or on weekends, often accompanied by classic Mexican refreshments like Coke or refreshing aguas frescas that balance the grilled meat’s richness. Weeknights and weekends can get lively, so visiting earlier in the evening might offer a more laid-back experience. The overall energy suggests a spot where South LA’s authentic taco culture is not only preserved but celebrated with generous portions and approachable service.

If you’re in the SELA area and eager to dive into a diner-style taco establishment with a strong community pulse and a lineup of grilled specialties, Tacos Los Cholos Hp delivers with its unmistakable smoky flavor and down-to-earth environment.

Exquisite tacos & molitas, the charbroiling makes it even more memorable. Had the cheese tacos which was some sort of grilled halloumi and the cane asada molitas which were perfect in all aspects. Service is kinda and helpful. This place in on my top three taco places in LA

South LA vibes don't get any stronger than a taco shop that has a doorman wearing a bulletproof vest. Items grilled over the smoky asador are the specialty here, especially the 5+ beef cuts available. All of the 7 salsas are awesome.

Great food, great vibes. I’ve only been here a few times but I must it has been my go to spot for tacos and mulitas. The papaloka is one of the best things to order here. Still have a few things to try but with time I will. Their portions on the meat that you order is very generous. Highly recommend it if you are in the SELA area.

The food at all their locations seem to have same quality control. Even the one by Disney. Even if it's a busy day with lines wrapping around the building sometimes. The food is always great, meats and chicken well seasoned and juicy off the coal grills they use to cook everything. Every time I come into Los Angeles from Vegas I make any tacos los cholos locations a must stop by to get my taco fix. I never leave disappointed after coming here. Definitely a good recommendation on the fly if near any of these establishments

Absolutely amazing taco. Our favorite in LA. The meat is flavorful and moist and the salsa bar has so many choices to choose from and they all SO GOOD! Now I understand why there's always a line but they move fast. They have a few locations. Definitely a must try!!

A salsa bar! Freshly made “aguas frescas!” The portions are shareable. We had the tripe bowl with rice and beans which was absolutely delicious. The burritos were made with love and the tacos were definitely well served. Sorry we ate, drank and enjoyed. Did not take any pictures, but it wasn’t necessary when the food itself was memorable.
