The spot is a bit sketchy but the food is super authentic in every way. Plus the homemade tortillas are amazing.

Not sure if there is "the best" taco place in LA since we are in the taco mecca. But being an LA native, here's my list of some top LA taco spots.
List in no particular order:
King Taco (East LA) - One of LA's iconic and original taco spot. Their salsa rojas and verde is amazing! Original location (not the best part of town but fairly safe) https://www.yelp.com/biz/king-taco-los-angeles-7?osq=king+taco&search_key=75120

I am all about these three taco trucks: For shrimp tacos, Mariscos Jaliscos: http://www.yelp.com/biz/mariscos-jalisco-los-angeles-3 El Taquito Mexicano (especially their cabeza!!) http://www.yelp.com/biz/los-california-tacos-pasadena?osq=el+taquito+mexicano El Flamin' Taco Truck http://www.yelp.com/biz/el-flamin-taco-taco-truck-los-angeles
"Judith's" up on Wilshire Blvd in front of the Ipic theater in Westwood. They are there weekdays from 6:30AM to 8AM. After speaking to a truck owner he told me some stories that will literally make you barf! Make sure to smell the beans before ordering and the meat might be tainted...eat at your own risk.
