Where to Eat Late at Night

Taco Zone Taco Truck

---

LA is not a late-night city, what with the 2 AM closing time, the 1:30 AM last call, and lazy bartenders who sometimes even set the bar clocks fast so they can call it at like 1:10. But for you, the champagne and cocaine don’t stop flowing until 5 AM, and when you stumble out of some C-list celeb’s house in the Hills after your comedown and too many conversations about the dude from being based on so-and-so, you are starved. Well guess what? There are tons of late-night joints, a lot of them open 24 hours. Just a note: Taco trucks are like a religion for late-night LA, not just for stupid hipsters but also for neighborhood locals who’ve been working their asses off until 2 AM, bar-backing and cleaning up your puke and smashed glasses. There are far too many trucks to list here. Consider the ones we mention the best of the best (at least to our pickled brains).
