Everyone loves us, I mean we love them, we smile when they pass by.

Villas Tacos in Los Angeles has set up shop under grandparent's lawn and are serving up delicious street food... front yard food from their Instagram to your car.

Tacos, mulitas, and quesadillas with your choice of protein and several amazing secret family recipe salsas.

We love this place. We've been coming every week since we found out.

Well, this is our grandparent's house, so we always used to play with our cousins here like every Sunday when we're little.

We got to see, you know, the neighborhood and be part of it, and now serve it.

It's really, it's really something special.

On the menu, you got this here, you got the handmade blue corn tortillas.

We take this masa and we make it into tortillas for tacos, mulitas, and quesadillas.

All our meats are grilled over mesquite charcoal.

We have pollo, chorizo, asada and then vegan options:

We have black bean, and ensalada de nopales, which is a cactus salad; potatoes and they should look like this. Nice and crispy here.

We throw in this salsa, that salsa, hibiscus pickled onions.

Once it's finished bagging, out the door. It allows maximum efficiency with the given space that we have.

Really, truly colorful, especially the tacos.

- You guys, like, seven layers of different colors. - Exactly. Yeah.

You also had to consider how they would taste together, right?

Well, I figured what are some of my favorite toppings and what would have made my ideal taco? My taco of choice?

If I were to go a taqueria and I had all these tools at my disposal, how would my taco look?

How do you like working with your family?

Um, it wasn't always the family working with us.

When we were on York Boulevard, it was pretty much just like me and a couple of buddies, but, you know, we're right here. But before, but before.

So what's it like working with the family?

I mean, my sisters, I'm with them sometimes, you know. Sometimes we could get on each other's nerves, but that's when we just gotta get together and get through the day.

Villas Tacos has a simple menu of tacos, molitas, and quesadillas with your choice of carne asada, chicken or chorizo, combined with any six of the Villas family salsas,

and you have food so delicious you'll forget you're eating it off the hood of your car on a noisy street.

I try every spot that I possibly can, big, small, medium whatever.

And what he's doing is just totally, totally different. There's nothing like it.

Texture is different, the flavors are different.  Just visually, they're probably some of the prettiest tacos you've ever seen.

We don't have, we don't use a major ordering system. We are our ordering system.

We announced when we're taking orders and through direct messages, they're able to contact us.

Say, hey, you know what? 7:20, 7:25 works better for me. We locked them in.

They sent our order, then from there, we write their order on this here. That's how we control the line. We control the flow of things.

- Thank you. - Goodnight. - Have a good one.

Villas (Tacos) starts with fresh pressed blue corn tortillas.

Best way to enjoy tortilla is a fresh, fresh tortilla, made just seconds before it gets topped off with that beautiful meat and all those toppings.

- Blue was an interesting colour. - I had never tried a blue corn tortilla. Can you believe that?

And I thought, how many other people in Los Angeles were just like me and I decided to go with handmade blue corn tortillas. That was gonna be my thing.

This is mesquite carbon, mesquite charcoal.

That's all we use. Flavor from the smoke from the wood.

It's the only way to do it, the only right way to do it.

It's grill here. This is the one that we started off with.

Her name is Maria, and then this one here, this is ripped and this is his twin brother, Marty.

That's why we have our fire extinguisher here, just in case.

We let it cook for about 20-25 minutes, slow and slow.

We don't rush it because sometimes I go places, you know, to try their food and the fire is all the way at the top, and it's just, the heat is excessive.

This it's... it's actually grilling, you know, we're grilling and we're chilling.

As mentioned before, there are six family salsas.

So this one here is magma salsa. That's a red salsa.

So we have salsa guacamole, and we have actual guacamole chunky.

This is a tomatillo-based salsa, mango pico de gallo.

And then we have our roasted salsa. This is my dad's recipe.

So you mix this with this, and that is a recipe that his dad showed him.

- It's a three generation salsa in it? - Correct.

This is the mango habanero. We use almost four liters.

We have fourteen liters of guacamole today. Fourteen.

This is our, the Works vegan taco here, starts off with your handmade blue corn tortilla.

Next step. You add some homemade black beans.

We got our soyrizo with grilled onions and grilled pineapple, 100% vegan.

For the first time we found out about it, we've been telling friends. We're picking up the orders for other people now.

The first hour is the busiest because we're trying to get everything in order, but then the last hour is the busiest as well.

Because we're taking chances then and we might just be accepting a couple orders.

Yo, yo, yo. What up, Instagram? It's about that time again.

Villas Tacos is in the building. Bye bye, baby.
