My kids and I ended up here and we were pleasantly surprised. The chips, guacamole and lemonade were amazing. Shrimp tacos were delicious too. There was a strange spice/flavor to the rice and beans so no one ate them but otherwise we really enjoyed ourselves. Music was fun too.

Our favorite dining experience in LA! We were a group of six and tried a variety of tacos and sides — the Branzino, Sanchozuk Wagyu, shrimp, and crispy beef & pickle tacos were the standouts. The chicken options were okay, but nothing too memorable. The guacamole was definitely a highlight — fresh, creamy, and better than the salsa in our opinion. We also had elote, chips with 8oz guac & salsa, and finished with some warm, cinnamon-sugar churros. Drinks were a whole experience on their own — especially the three liters of margarita we shared at the table! The atmosphere is what really made it special: warm tones, layered textures, and colorful details that made the space feel both vibrant and cozy. You can tell a lot of thought went into the design. It’s not just a place to eat — it’s a place you want to stay and enjoy. Total came to $585.17 with gratuity included, which felt worth it for the quality, service, and setting. Would absolutely come back.

I love this restaurant! A week ago, my friend brought me here for an early lunch -- it was my first time while she is a regular. We were warmly welcomed by our server, Mateo, who immediately set the tone for what turned out to be an incredible meal and super fun time. Mateo is the BEST — attentive, informative, and fun. He made our family-style taco feast feel like a celebration. We ordered appetizers—crispy chips with fresh guacamole and salsa. It was delicious and fresh! We ordered about a half-dozen different types of tacos—from the perfectly grilled carne asada to juicy organic chicken and, yes, even a recommended beef ad pickle taco (phenomenal). Every single taco was fresh, flavorful, and exceptional. We started with Micheladas, and wow — the house-made mix was so good, you could sip it straight. We also sampled the watermelon margaritas, which were bright, refreshing, and too easy to love…:) Escuela Taqueria provides the best food and service — welcoming staff, delicious cocktails, and the most tasty tacos in LA. Thank you to the manager, Jennifer, as she checked on us and was so kind. A great experience. We will be back…and soon!
