Born in Boyle Heights, Guisados is celebrated across Los Angeles for its traditional braised meats and stewed vegetables served over thick, freshly pressed corn tortillas. The menu features classic homestyle Mexican dishes like cochinita pibil, tinga de pollo, chicharron, and steak picado. With several locations throughout LA, it remains a quintessential stop for authentic, flavorful tacos in a relaxed counter-service setting.

History

The original Guisados location started in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles, by the Armando De La Torre family. Guisados has since become a staple for authentic tacos in Southern California, expanding to several locations, including Burbank.

Quick tip: Order the sampler plate of mini tacos on your first visit to taste multiple braises and spice levels.
