MidEast Tacos

Tucked into a sliver of a building near Sunset Junction, MidEast Tacos brings something genuinely unique to Silver Lake’s crowded fast-casual scene. This tiny counter-service spot from the team behind Mini Kabob seamlessly blends Mexican and Armenian cuisines in ways that feel both inventive and completely natural. The space is minimal—mostly a sidewalk patio—but the flavors more than make up for the modest setting.

The menu is tight and focused, letting each item shine. The kebab-style tacos are the star attraction, featuring grilled meats that would feel right at home at a traditional Armenian grill, now wrapped in fresh tortillas with creative salsas and sauces. The falafel taco delivers crispy-on-the-outside, fluffy-on-the-inside perfection, while the steak burrito is an absolute unit packed with garlic-forward flavors. Don’t sleep on the papas—these aleppo-dusted potato rounds with chile garlic dipping sauce could easily be a meal for two.

This is very much a takeout-friendly operation, but eating here is best done on the spot. The smoky meats and whipped garlic sauce lose some magic during a car ride home. Grab one of the sidewalk tables near the blue mural on the building’s east side for a more pleasant perch away from Sunset’s traffic while still enjoying prime people-watching.

MidEast Tacos is perfect for anyone seeking a satisfying, wallet-friendly meal that breaks from the ordinary. Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch or fueling up before hitting the nearby bars, this is one of Silver Lake’s most reliable spots for food that’s creative without being gimmicky—and delicious without breaking the bank.
