Sky's Gourmet Marketplace brings the beloved Sky's Gourmet Tacos recipes to a compact counter inside a Marina office and retail complex, focusing on shrimp, carne asada, and vegetarian tacos to-go. It’s a quick-stop option where the seasoning leans bold and soulful, backed by a brand that has been slinging tacos in Los Angeles since the early 1990s.

Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not ideal — it’s more of a grab-and-go setup with minimal ambiance; better suited for a quick meal than a date setting.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes — there are typically a few shared seating spots in the complex, but most diners take food to-go. No reservations are needed or offered.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for quick stops; simple seating and mild foot traffic make it easy for families, though there are no dedicated kid amenities.
Best For
Better for: Fast service, bold seasoning, and affordable tacos from a legacy LA brand — ideal for quick lunches or solo grabs.
Skip if: You want patio seating, drinks, or a full sit-down taco experience; consider broader sit-down cantinas nearby instead.
