Al Pastor Tacos
Pineapple-marinated pork from the trompo, hand-cut to order, hand-pressed tortilla, cilantro, onion, lime.
A family-run taqueria on N Figueroa Street, slinging hand-pressed tacos, burritos, plates, and morning desayunos seven days a week from seven in the morning. The line moves fast — the food moves faster.
Mando's has been on N Figueroa Street since 1999. Twenty-six years of regulars, a counter that knows your order, and a kitchen that hand-presses every tortilla before service.
We do the Highland Park essentials — al pastor from the trompo, carnitas, asada, lengua, pollo, and a Sunday menudo that brings the neighborhood through the door. Plus tortas, burritos, plates, and breakfast.
Open seven days a week from seven in the morning. Cash, card, same price. Take-out, dine-in, big orders to go. The line forms fast around noon — call ahead if you're picking up.
"Mando's has been the spot for me since I moved to Highland Park in 2005. Same family, same trompo, same chair I sit in every Sunday morning. Twenty-six years and the food hasn't slipped once."
"Walked in for breakfast on a Tuesday and was eating the best chorizo burrito of my life in eleven minutes. Took the menu home. Coming back tomorrow with everyone I know."
"The Sunday menudo is what brings me back. My abuela took me here when I was eight. Now I bring my kids. That counts for something in this city."
On Figueroa, between Avenue 64 and Avenue 65. Walk in, sit down, or grab it to go. Twenty-six years of regulars on the same stretch of road.
