A love letter to Mexican street food. inspired by the bustling taco stands of Mexico City, the smoky taquerias of Baja, and the cool, avo-obsessed kitchens of LA. OK Taqueria is deeply Mexican, unapologetically Californian and proudly un-autentico.

Here, you'll find crispy pork belly al pastor tacos layered up with our house green and red salsa, a chicken-fried maitake mushroom topped with spiced lime crema, and pillow-soft breakfast burritos that throw our spiced jalapeño sausage and cheesy tots together with soft scrambled egg, crispy bacon and cholula.
