It lines up sushi rolls, crab, lobster, hibachi, and a chocolate fountain in one big room.

Tacos Royale Transforms a Silver Lake Parking Lot Into a Carne Asada Destination

In our Dining Reports, we share a firsthand perspective of a recent restaurant visit, covering everything from the vibe to must-get dishes. See more in the Eater app. Tacos Royale, a taco stand operating out of a Silver Lake parking lot, burst onto Los Angeles’s carne asada scene in the summer of 2026 with flame-kissed meat piled into tortillas rich with tallow. Opened by Saúl Pérez García — a veteran of Atla, Ceviche Project, and food truck La Hija del Marondo — and his cousin, chef Eloy Aluri, the stand specializes in Hermosillo-style tacos. Even in a crowded taco market, Tacos Royale stands out with its attention to detail, from the dialed-in sear on the very generous serving of asada to the salsas made to complement, not overwhelm. The simplicity of the stand’s menu — limited to just two types of tacos, a burrito, and chips and guacamole — lets the team focus on each ingredient. The party beans are just cheesy enough; the beef cracklings that crown the OG taco are deliciously smoky. Just a few months old, Tacos Royale is already becoming an essential stop in any Los Angeles carne asada education.

LA Korean BBQ Guide to Jeong Yuk Jeom

Regardless, you’ll leave full one way or another. The upscale label does come at a cost, so you’ll realistically be here when you’re on an expense account or celebrating something special. Or, if you’re balling like that, which is all fine too.
