After the night is said and done, several hours might have passed since your last meal. Lucky for you, local restaurants have predicted such situations and keep the kitchens open late for a variety of comfort fare—from pizza to tacos. Here is a list to remember the next time you have the munchies past 10 p.m. and want to skip the fast food drive-thru.
Black Monk Tavern
The kitchen is open Fri-Sat until 11 p.m. & all other days until 10 p.m.
At first glance, Black Monk Tavern is a typical neighborhood dive bar, but inside is a kitchen cooking up delicious fare beyond the bar food you might expect. The flounder tacos are a hit, served fried or blackened, and you can’t leave without trying the Cajun trashcan taco. Stop by before the kitchen closes and stay for live music and a beer.
El Camino Comida & Bar
Open Fri and Sat until 12 a.m.
Once 10 p.m. hits on Friday or Saturday, it’s time to ditch the dinner plates and jump straight to tacos and queso. The “late nights” menu has six varieties of tacos, including tinga, al pastor and birria, that pair perfectly with a tequila flight.
Hacienda Vieja
Open daily until 11 p.m.
Hacienda Vieja stays open past the hours of a typical taqueria, but serves all your taqueria favorites. From breakfast tacos all day to asada street tacos, nachos, chips and queso and more, any menu item from Hacienda tastes extra delicious after 10 p.m. with a side of frozen margarita. 4301 S. Staples St.
Tacos El Tri
Open Mon-Thur until 12 a.m. & Fri-Sat until 3 a.m.
Tacos El Tri’s street tacos are unmatched and especially tasty in the early morning hours. Choose among asada, al pastor, chorizo or campechana for the mini tacos combo served with charro beans. 5417 S. Staples St.

Bar Under the Sun
Open Tue-Thur until 12 a.m., Fri-Sat until 2 a.m.
The menu from Bar Under the Sun Tasty Bites ranges from ahi tuna tostadas to chicken sandwiches and covers everything in between, designed to be elevated bar bites. You can order from the main menu until midnight—however, if you find yourself out past midnight on a Friday or Saturday, BUS offers late-night tacos from midnight until close.
Brewster Street Icehouse
Open Sun-Wed until 11 p.m. & Thur-Sat until 12 a.m.
Brewster Street Icehouse is known for its live music by night and the kid-friendly environment by day, but don’t skip the late-night eats. The kitchen delivers fried mushrooms, burgers, chicken-fried steak and salads before, during or after a show.
House of Rock
Open Sun – Wed until 10 p.m., Thur until 12 a.m. & Fri – Sat until 1 a.m.
Pizza rolls, pizza pies, wings and homemade chocolate chip cookies are just a few things that House of Rock is known for. Whether you stop by for a show or find yourself downtown in need of a late-night bite, House of Rock is the place to be.
