I've driven past this spot so many times, always thinking, I really need to check that place out. Well, I finally did. The setup is simple: the kitchen takes up the whole space, so only one person can fit inside to order, and seating is strictly outdoors--which works just fine on a nice day. Every bite had me breaking into a light top-of-the-head sweat, but nothing was overpoweringly spicy. The flavors were bold and everything was solid. That said, if cilantro isn't your thing, you might be in for a rough ride because they do not hold back on it.
Incredible Armenian-Mexican fusion from the founders of mini kabob, Mideast tacos does not miss. Located in Silverlake, Mideast taco is extremely flavorful and collaborative of two incredible cuisines. I've tried the following: chicken taco, steak taco, shrimp taco, steak quesadilla, and chicken burrito. The chicken and shrimp tacos are a standout, although all are great. The chicken burrito is great to share. Also their sauces, incredible. Mideast is also home to the falafel taco, for those who enjoy falafel. As a taco enthusiast these are a must try.
When I say THE BEST MEXICAN IVE EVER HAD. Oh my god this place is amazing. The burritos are extremely flavorful and have the perfect kick to them. The quesadilla is cheesy goodness with perfectly tender steak. The house-made chips are just *chefs kiss*. By far my favorite Mexican food in LA.
These were literally some of the best tacos I have ever had. I tried the beef, chicken, and falafel tacos and all of them were soooo good. Very similar sauces on all and the beef and chicken were Armenian style kebab. Suuuper juicy and very nicely seasoned. The falafel was also not dry at all!! Outdoor seating and street parking!
I was very pleasantly surprised by this spot. They are known for the falafel tacos which I ordered and wow, what a delicious fusion of flavors. I would've never thought of such a menu item but I am so glad they've created this amazing dish! A friend of mine got the fries and WOW truly some of the best fires i've ever had - they are basically waffles fries with a delicious spicy sauce that is addictive! Food came out super quick and staff were really nice. I definitely will be back!
Mexican and Middle eastern meet halfway! This is a hidden gem in Silver Lake and if you haven't been here yet, you are missing out! Small restaurant on the corner of Sunset. Parking in Silver Lake is diabolical but I think they are available on the apps! I highly recommend ordering family style so you're able to try multiple items. We went with the chicken kebab tacos and a steak burrito. Love that the chicken kebab tacos were served on a flour tortilla and they had a kick to it that slowly built up with every bite. The chicken was juicy and tender, and they were pretty decent sized tacos. I could eat like three in one sitting. I enjoyed the burrito as well but the tacos were more up my alley. The green salsa that comes with the burrito is addicting though! We also tried the Armenian pear soda and it was delicious- fruit soda is my favorite!
I can't get over this place. Everytime I'm in Silverlake I have to go here. The food is always so good. Most of the time I get the steak quesadilla and the falafel taco. Meat is cooked well and full of flavor! The sauce on the falefel is spicy (so good) There isn't a place to sit inside but they do have chairs and tables outside. The workers are always so friendly. I recently got the chicken quesadilla and asked for a different Sauce and they were nice about it!
A small corner spot in the Silverlake area that is a fusion of Armenian barbecue and Mexican taqueria. I think they're famous for their falafel tacos. That is definitely what I ordered along with some other things with the group I went with. The service was friendly and efficient. They have to be because they the line could get pretty long and the interior is pretty small. Other than the falafel taco, I also ordered the steak kebab taco, the potatoes. and a walnut soda. my friends ordered a few other tacos as well as the chicken quesadilla. The food here is well seasoned and fresh. The textures are great and the meats and the fillings are prepared very well. The food was very delicious, but I have to say I think maybe I ordered a little on the heavy side because it felt little heavy when I was done. There are a few tables outside, but I think a lot of the business here is for takeout. In this area parking can get really hectic, especially when it is around dinner time or when there's a dodger game.
A friend recommended Mideast Tacos, so I wanted to try them out. I went in, and it's quite small. They were quite busy with what looked like online orders. I was ignored for several minutes with no acknowledgment. It took a bit for them to notice I was waiting to order, so I was tempted to leave--not the best first impression. The courteous thing would be to say, "We'll be right with you." So, I was disappointed by the customer service. I tried their chicken kabob taco, and it was really spicy. They need to clarify that on the menu and put a spicy symbol on their tacos. I understand they have the salsa, but at a quick glance, you wouldn't realize the taco is insanely spicy until you bite into it. So for next time, I am putting the salsas on the side.
