    Guerrilla Tacos started as a food truck and has evolved into one of LA's most celebrated restaurants. Chef Wes Avila brings classical training and fearless creativity to every taco, tostada, and side.

    Expect unexpected combinations like sweet potato and feta tacos with fried shallots, or uni tostadas with yuzu and sea beans. The flavors are bold, the presentations Instagram-worthy, and the soul unmistakably LA.

    The brick-and-mortar space in DTLA has a casual, welcoming vibe that matches the food's spirit — elevated but never pretentious. This is LA on a plate.
