First time here and I'll totally be back. Guys at the counter we welcoming and helpful. Carnitas was legit and plenty of it. Fish tacos were huge and tasty. The green salsa had some heat on the finish though! All in all, delicious.
Friendly service, good food, and a great value. Will definitely be back!
This was the start of my taco adventure and it did not disappoint. Had the chiCharon taco, with a spicy salsa. For $6 you get 2 tacos worth of food so i thinks good value. The taste was quite good too, i really enjoyed it.
Magic Tacos = large taco that you can make into 2 tacos because they give you an extra tortilla. I had the carnitas this time but the chicken or asada are better. If you want carnitas, pay more and go a few shops down to Villa Moreliana's that specializes in pork. If you want a good deal this works ok. Note the tacos are now $6 each.... Ouch!
Roast To Go is the longest operating food vendor inside the grand central market in downtown Los Angeles. You guys have to come check it out for yourselves if you are nearby or visiting from out of town and see why they have been there for so long. They put a lot of work into their delicious food and have carnitas, birria, chicken, cow tongue, tripe and can make you a combination plate with tacos and rice and beans. The owner is such a sweet person and makes sure you are well fed.

I’ve been patronizing ROAST TO GO for some35 years & counting. You wanna know if I like it⁉️
Besides a Chinese fast food Stand not more than 100 feet away, ROAST TO GO is the 👉🏼ONLY👈🏽food stand left of all the original Mexican fast food Stands w/i Grand Central Market.
Through the years, I’ve photographed many a ‘ROAST TO GO’ Servers. They’ve always been helpful & friendly. Today (05/31/2022), there were two Servers tending orders. One (Agusto, c👀 foto) has been working their not too long. Agusto took my order and did a Gr8 job. His Co-Worker, Lulu (c👀 fotos) was there also. Lulu is the only ORIGINAL remaining “ROAST TO GO” Server. I’ve known her since she began working there as a teenager.
Through the years, all the people that have worked there skillfully fix your order right before your very ay 👁👁’s‼️
“OK, you think, “So what about the food” you ask. So I’ll tell’ya: FINGER LICKEN’GOOD😍
Thanks👍🏽😎👍🏽
I had 2 carnitas tacos and they were delicious! And the woman working was so lovely, totally recommend!
Small scale family-run Mexican food to go
I had the mixed pork and beef burrito which was excellent and good value for money
Of all the Mexican options in Grand Central Market, this one is my favorite. Amazing portions, juicy & tender meat, and always consistent. The best bang for your buck is the taco; for $4.50 you basically get a burrito. Green Salsa > Red at Roast to Go.
My Boyfriend and I came about 20 min before closing time on a Thursday night (we were running late) and with most of the restaurants already closed we ended up at "Roast to Go" because they were still taking orders lol and thank God they were because their Tacos were so delicious! I'm a big Taco lover and I LOVE spicy Salsa, their red salsa was perfect! I ordered one El Pastor and One Asada taco and I was forcing myself to finish my last taco because they are so big! The staff was nice and I will definitely be coming back. This was my first visiting to Grand Central Market and I really enjoyed it. Thank you Roast to Go for making my night lol
Got the pescado taco. 5 bucks but its filling
I had the asada and chicken tacos. Really good, clean and tender meat. I'm used the small taco truck sized tacos. These tacos are 2 regular sized tortillas packed with meat. I had one taco and took the other to go because I couldn't finish it lol I wish they had aguas frescas here!
