A true sidewalk taquería that only comes alive at night, Carrasco is about Oaxacan-leaning tacos and tlayudas served hot off the plancha. It’s no-frills, fast, and built for post-midnight cravings rather than lingering dinners. Go for the smoke-kissed meats and bold salsas, not the seating.

A nighttime Oaxacan street stand tucked along Santa Monica Blvd that locals treat like a secret. The tortillas skew handmade and the fillings—especially porky, chile-forward stews—feel closer to home-style than fast-casual. It’s a low-key, high-flavor stop that rewards a little patience.
