Los Tacos is a 90046 fixture for all-day, into-the-early-morning plates of tacos, burritos, and menudo on Santa Monica Boulevard. The menu feels more old-school diner-meets-taqueria than curated, but the homestyle stews and straightforward tacos keep regulars returning.
Must-Try Dishes:
Beef taco, Al pastor taco, Carnitas taco
What Makes it Special: 24-hour-style Mexican spot with homestyle soups and tacos.

Las Perlas is a mezcal-and-tequila bar that doubles as a late-night taco stop thanks to its attached kitchen turning out taco flights, veggie options, and bar snacks until the early hours. The focus is cocktails and music first, but the ability to sit with a mezcal margarita and a plate of tacos after midnight makes it a key late-night tacos option in 90046.
Must-Try Dishes:
Taco Flight (Al Pastor, Carne Asada, Veggie), Mushroom or Squash Blossom Taco, Quesabirria-style Taco Specials
What Makes it Special: Agave-focused cocktail bar with a real late-night taco program attached.

Pinches Tacos on Sunset is a brightly painted, late-night counter serving classic street-style tacos to Sunset Strip crowds. It leans more fun and convenient than polished, but the range of meats and long hours make it a dependable option before or after shows nearby.
Must-Try Dishes:
Carne asada taco, Pastor taco, Lengua taco
What Makes it Special: Colorful Sunset Strip standby for street-style tacos into the night.
#5
Marvito
7.7
Marvito transforms a former Old Hollywood institution into a dim, psychedelic honky-tonk where small-batch tequila and Mexican-American comfort plates share space with classic rock on the stereo. Shrimp enchiladas, aguachile, and ribs come out of an open kitchen that feels more like a house party than a white-tablecloth dining room.
Must-Try Dishes:
Shrimp Enchiladas, Aguachile, Barbecue Ribs
What Makes it Special: A divey, music-soaked roadhouse where tequila, tacos, and ribs land under amber lighting.
