Bee Taqueria — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Delicious tacos. Not street tacos. They're closer to gourmet. The pork taco ($3) was my favorite, with a tie for second for the "Media Luna" shrimp and scallops taco ($6) and the beef skirt steak taco ($4). You may be surprised by the price to size ratio, but taste them and them make your judgement. I'm sure you'll agree that they are tasty.

They came with a small cup (about 2oz) of black beans, a small cup of soup (also, about 2oz) which was flavorful and had the right amount of spicy heat, and two lime wedges.

The pork and beef tacos came in thick blue corn tortillas which were delicious, and the meats had a generous amount of fatty juices (some people might think 'greasy', but it was a treat and I hope the restaurant doesn't change that!—lean this and lean that has no character!). The "Media Luna" had a spice cream sauce which packed a bit of a spicy punch without it being overwhelming. All of the tacos were tastefully topped with a micro-greens meddly.

I washed it down with two Topo Chico's mineral water ($3 each—which is pricy, but I'm willing to overlook because of the ambience and the good food).

Order at the window and pick it up, but the service was slow. I'll chalk it up to it being a new place and they're feeling their way, but hopefully this will improve.

I will be returning and will continue to return assuming the service improves over time. Again, I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt and I hope...

One of the more special experiences I’ve had eating in a while. A small outdoor shack on the edge of W Adams Blvd not too far from Culver City serves some of the best gourmet tacos I’ve ever had, including Guerilla Tacos and Taco Maria (which is albeit more of a elevated Mexican tasting menu with entrees).

The chef, Alex, with plenty of fine dining experience, does a $60 taco omakase you can book on Resy with only a few seats a night for dinner. Expect 4-6 courses with excellent, innovative tacos with handmade tortillas and fresh ingredients and a “Mexican dessert cheese platter to finish”.

Tacos for the night included: braised pork belly with bean purée and blue corn tortilla, huitlacoche (known as Mexican truffles) Oaxacan cheese with red salsa on a squid ink heirloom corn tortilla, marinated chicken on top a mole (made from bougenbeilla flowers?) spinach with a red heirloom tortilla made with beets, and the last one with hangar steak and fresh bone marrow scooped on top grasshoppers guacamole ancho Chile salsa and onions. For now, the omakase menu is set to change every month.

Otherwise, there is a separate à la carte menu if you do walk-ins. Either way, don’t forget to order the chicharronnes chips and a sanguches/torta sandwich for splitting with friends. Also can’t forget Alex’s warm hospitality and his refined presentation for all the dishes and their backgrounds/backstories. Will try to come back every...

I've had many tacos in my life, I've traveled to many cities and towns in Mexico. I even took a trip once to CDMX just to try several taquerias. Bee taqueria is not restricted by sticking to "traditional" tacos and is trying to do it's own thing. I can definitely appreciate them trying to be creative with tacos. Because technically anything can be a taco and with that in mind their best taco is the tinga betabel. It was the most unique and interesting of the bunch. Sadly their cordero BBQ was sold out and could not try it. Their media noche was also very good. I liked that they gave you a caldo to dip it in. That "made" the taco. The asada taco was ok. The meat had interesting flavors, but felt a little dry. My least favorite taco was the cochinito. It was a little too fatty and could use something to lighten up the fat. I ended up drenching it with lime. But that only helped a little. Their Jamaica agua del día was very good, it feels like they actually use the plant and it's not from a powder, we really appreciated that. It's also not super sweet which sometimes can ruin it as well. If you visit, don't skip desert. Their churro was amazing. Overall, I'll probably visit again to try their cordero and one of the other non taco menu items. This place is good. I'd recommend you...
