Real Mexican Food, Built on Tradition
From family recipes to made-from-scratch meals, see how Happy Taco became a local favorite in Los Angeles.
The Happy Taco Story
Happy Taco opened in 2016 at 1309 Hoover St in Los Angeles, just minutes from Pico Union Vest Pocket Park. Built by a local family with deep roots in Mexican cooking, the goal was simple—serve fresh, made-from-scratch meals fast. The focus has always been real food, no shortcuts, and a menu that brings people together around tacos and burritos.
Food Inspired By Family And Heritage
The recipes at Happy Taco come from family kitchens in Mexico. Everything from the mole sauce to the sopes is made the old-fashioned way—with patience and care. Cooking is more than food here. It’s a way to honor the past while feeding the neighborhood today. The idea is to keep those flavors alive and share them with new generations.
