Best Tacos in Palms-Cheviot Hills
Master Critic Review
Angelica's Food Truck
7.7
A Puebla-rooted food truck on Sepulveda turning out sesame-seeded cemitas with fillings like al pastor and cueritos alongside a tight lineup of tacos and menudo. The format favors weekday lunch regulars who know what they want and order fast. Prices stay low and portions stay honest, though the slim review base means the track record is still short.
Must-Try Dishes:
Cemitas Poblanas, Menudo, Tacos de Asada

Logistics & Planning

Dietary Options
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? No — this is a walk-up food truck on busy Sepulveda Blvd with no seating, no ambiance, and street-level traffic noise. Great for a casual post-date snack run, but not the date itself.
Can I get a table without a reservation? No reservations needed or accepted — it's strictly walk-up ordering at the truck window. Be prepared for 30+ minute waits during the weekday lunch rush since everything is made to order. They close by 4:45 PM on weekdays and 4 PM on Saturdays, and are closed Sundays.
Is it kid-friendly? Manageable but not designed for families. No kids menu, no high chairs, and no seating of any kind. The menu is simple enough that most kids could handle a basic taco or burrito, but you'll be eating standing up or in your car. Best for a quick grab-and-go with older kids who don't need to sit down.
Is it good for groups? Not ideal — there are no tables, no seating area, and no space for a group to gather. More than 3-4 people ordering will face significant wait times since everything is made to order. Best for solo visits or pairs grabbing a quick lunch.
Is there outdoor seating? No outdoor seating provided. This is a street-side food truck with no tables, chairs, patio, or covered area. Customers eat standing near the truck, in their cars, or take food to go. Parking in the adjacent plaza is easy to find.
