I came for the homemade tortillas and found horchata cold brew. I was not disappointed. I ordered 1 tinga de Pollo and a chicken tamale. The tamale flavor was delicious, a little heavy on the masa, but it was very moist with a lot of flavor. So good! The taco on the other hand, was on point. Perfect flavor, spicy, and so good! I could have easily eaten 3 more. Excellent and worthy of checking out. Service was great, chefs were awesome. I'd come in just for a taco and horchata cold brew, even if I weren't hungry.
My experience at Guisados was nothing short of deeply enjoyable, with great energy and even greater flavors. I ordered the Mole Pablano and Bistek en Salsa Roja Tacos with a small Jamaica juice. Every ingredient in each of these selections is fresh, well seasoned, and worth every penny. The freshly pressed corn tortillas are warmed and charred in the such a way that make a great bed for all the meat and other ingredients. A HIGHLY RECOMMENDED place for delicious and satious food.
Guisados in Boyle Heights is the gourmet but traditional taco option that has been there for years and always delivers.
Everything about this place’s food is amazing. The salsa, the tortillas, the aguas frescas. Automatic 5 stars.
Delicious tacos. Great options for vegans and vegetarians as well. However, what was missing in our opinion was the topping options like pico de gallo or a piece of avocado or radish to enhance the taste of tacos.
The tacos were very delicious, had a taste of Mexico, the agua fresca as well, everything was great except for one detail, one of the cooks won’t stop staring at me , made me feel uncomfortable, I almost complained but I didn’t want to ruin the tacos eating experience, it was the guy with the hat 🧢.
Other than that everything else was great, the lovely lady who took my order and the other cook who kept it respectful.

Yammy yammy yammy! We went there with my colleagues over lunch.. if you like tacos I highly recommend you visiting this place; and if you are undeciseve then choose their Mix and match option of mini tacos (can't recall the exact name for that option).. there are many different choices and each one has a different taste and flavor to it.. but for me, my favorite one was the Chicharron! 😍😋 Their horchata was good too! Street parking all around but it can be tricky as it's a busy area.
