Been going here for over 20 years when I first started working in the area. These guys have been here even longer in certain because some of the guys here are now a little older like me and the food is no frills awesome. No hiding behind all sorts of sauces and cheeses. This is straight street cred tacos that are the most juiciest in a food hawker stall you'll ever find.... This is a must eat once a week place for me.... Dead serious. The guys are quick, friendly and they do recognize you if you're a regular.

4++ Located inside the Grand Central Market, this stand or space feels like it's been here for quite some time. It's one of the handful of taco spots located in the market. The folks here are friendly and the prices are very reasonable, especially considering the amount of food you get! I came in on the way home from work one night and wanted to get a chicken or pollo taco. The prices seem slightly high on the menu, but once you get it, you see why. This 'one' taco is basically the equivalent of like 4 tacos. The meat and toppings were piled high and you are given extra tortillas to mop up an straggling toppings that fall off your original taco. Best to be eaten with a fork (virtually impossible to pick up and eat with your hand). Another great piece in the Grand Central Market tapestry of yummy (and affordable) eats.

Tacos Tumbras a Tomas is a staple of the Grand Central Market. They have been in business for 50 years. Many restaurants have come and gone out of the Grand Central Market, but Tomas has been a steady spot for many years now. I usually can house 3 or 4 tacos, depending on the size of the tacos. These tacos are hefty, and 2 tacos are like the size of 4 or 5 tacos in my opinion. I got the Carne Asada and the Carnitas tacos. They give you several extra tortillas to make more tacos from all the meat they give you. I don't like wasting food, but I didn't need so many extra tortillas. They asked me what spice-level hot sauce I wanted on the tacos, but I would have liked more sauce on the side as there wasn't enough hot sauce for me, as there was so much meat. I would have liked to add the sauce myself. I'm looking forward to coming back here in the future to try other tacos.

This place had a line but the line moved quickly. We tried it for the first time. Everything you order is overflowing of everything. I ordered and burrito and it was massive. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The market is loud and can get crowded at times.

One of my favorite taco spots to visit when I'm in Downtown LA. It's located into Grand Central Market near the side wall. I had been dreaming about their super tasty chicharrones tacos for days as well as their cabeza tacos. Unfortunately, the chicharrones on this day weren't as good as usual. They were under seasoned and also over powered by the lime from the salsa. They also weren't cooked long enough and didn't have that melt in your mouth texture that they usually do. Luckily though, the cabeza tacos saved the day. Absolutely melt in your beef almost as if you're eating beef butter. One thing I wished they'd do is provide hand made tortillas instead of just the ones premade from the bag. Overall I'd consider it a cheap eat though as just $5 a taco. Be sure to top things off with their orange Fresca. It literally tastes like a freshly made orange dreamsicle!

I've been meaning to try the famous goat tacos at Tacos Tumbras a Tomas, and I finally got to give them a go! I wasn't super hungry when I went, so I only ordered one goat for $5. However, the portions are HUGE: the goat meat is really loaded on there, and you get extra tortillas on the side. The quantity for "one" taco is actually enough for 3-4 tacos...an absolute STEAL. I admit, the goat meat had some inconsistent dry parts, but it had tender, gamey parts that I enjoyed. The workers were nice and efficient, despite the long lines. Overall, it's an incredible at $5 for one taco (technically, 3-4 tacos); you'll definitely be full in the end!

This review is more of a 4.5, but I'll give the five star. First off, these aren't dainty street tacos, they're huge, with no skimping on the meat at all. At $5/each they are well worth it, as they are about double the size of ordinary tacos, and you are given extra tortillas for accommodate. All the flavors were very good, but the carnitas could stand to be fried/crisped up prior to plating. Staff was friendly. Walk over to the seating area and pair these with a Mango Cart from Golden Road, and you'll be all set.

Food was Great! Staff was friendly and very helpful. Location was clean and you can tell it was kept clean. The line to order was out of control, that's how you can tell the food is good! Booth is located inside the Grand Central Market in DTLA.
