    Great spot for a quick bite. I've came here since I was a kid and it is always quite yummy and consistent! They have a big menu to choose from and let me remove the meat option from my sope, and instead substituted with beans! Wait time is usually really short and there's plenty of places to sit. Horchata is good but only if you have a big sweet tooth. I diluted it with water. The salsas always have so much flavor to me. Overall, recommend!

    Solid quick service Mexican food spot! I've been coming to this place since I was a kid, and in my visit today after a couple of years, everything was exactly as I remembered it. Food is consistently good and the ladies at the register are friendly. The space is clean and has a good amount of seating for dining in, though I think most people tend to take their orders to go. I always get the nachos with al pastor and my favorite thing about them is the liquid nacho cheese! Portions are very generous and their aguas frescas are the perfect drink to wash everything down.

    Tacos!

    If you're working at the VA, this is a quick and cute spot to get a quick bite to each during lunch. They take credit card, if you need there are photos to pick what plate you want, and there's a salsa bar to serve yourself. The folks behind the counter are the cutest and kindest. 3 taco plate for the win and back to the VA which is a couple minutes down the street. Parking might be a slight challenge but it's manageable!

    This is my second time here They're always pretty fast & the food is usually pretty good It's super busy sometimes but I caught them at a good time The staff is nice & it's usually clean Just that parking is a little difficult due to the plaza it's in The food is ok ... usually other places add extra things for free like chips The tacos were decent but overall it's an ok spot to stop at

    Asada nachos delicious

    I would definitely visit this Taqueria again. I ordered asada nachos and tacos. Both were flavorful and very authentic. The portions were definitely generous for the price. The location is small, with around three or four tables, and parking can be a challenge, but off peak hours should be no problem. The interior was clean, nothing fancy but the flavor of the asada was delicious, and the salsas all had a good flavor. Service was straightforward , not rude but not friendly.

    Carne asada plate.

    I found this place on my lunchtime went and ordered a plate of carne asada. The carne asada had a funny taste.rice and beans were salty. I couldn't eat it. Never coming back here again.

    I live near by and eat here often. I recommend this restaurant. I usually order nachos de asada without beans.

    I've been here twice now and ordered the burrito with pastor - it is truly unreal!!!! One of the…read morebest burritos I've had. Such an unpretentious spot. Loved the red salsa too - can't wait to come back :)

    In a city where Mexican food is probably the primary dining option; one might think that it is all…read morethe same: that a taco here is the same as a taco there. This line of thinking is completely false as each region and state in Mexico has distinct flavors, cultural preparations and unique ingredients. Luckily in the City of Angels; we have access to all of these styles whereas everyone can pick and choose their favorite! I was in the North Hills/Mission Hills area and decided Mexican was going to be the meal of the day - and thanks to the trusty Yelp app: Tacos al Tijuanense was the winner to satisfy my hunger pang. If you are a longtime LA resident or born-and-raised within the city limits and can swear to Tacos al Tijuanense sounding familiar/remembering that it was a food truck... Then your memory doesn't deceive you. Tacos al Tijuanense birthed as a food truck in 1987 quickly gaining popularity for its smoked meats and Tijuana-inspired flavors serving tacos, vampiros, quesadillas, birria tacos, etc; loaded with fresh toppings and offering a variety of meats for the protein selection. The LA love for Tacos al Tijuanense caused such popularity that the food truck expanded into brick-and-mortar locations with several now spread throughout the city. The North Hills location of Tacos al Tijuanense holds real estate near the Woodly/Nordhoff intersection in a small strip plaza shopping center that seems half sleepy and half eyebrow-raising. But, as most of us know, the hidden gems are usual the best spots so don't be deterred by such businesses like the sketchy massage parlor next door. In fact, diners will be pleasantly surprised when crossing the threshold of the entrance to find an airy interior with high ceilings, natural light, wooden accents and the combination of a trendy- almost gastropub sticking to the food truck theme (there is even a food truck motif behind the order counter) that feels like a party. Tacos al Tijuanense is not what you would expect from the outside! Tacos al Tijuanense is fast-casual meaning you order behind the counter and take a number to the table of your choice. After browsing the menu, my boyfriend chose a Quesadilla (13" tortilla filled with protein of your choice, jack cheese, cilantro and salsa with my boyfriend picking chicken - $13) and a Vampiro (toasted corn tortilla layered with jack cheese, choice of meat, onions, cilantro and salsa with al pastor - $3). For my order, I also went with a Vampiro but with chicken while also ordering Nachos to share with carne asada. When our plates arrived, we were surprised to see the size of the portions. Everything at Tacos al Tijuanense is large and in charge and they most certainly do not skimp! The fillings are overflowing with bright, fresh ingredients, toppings are numerous and the size overall makes everything shareable. My Vampiro was crisp with delicious guacamole that added a refreshing element and tender, tasty chicken. My favorite was my boyfriend's Quesadilla which was gooey, warm and perfect. You can't go wrong with a quesadilla! But we have to talk about the nachos because these nachos are HUGE! This is party size and could generously feed three people. The carne asada was heavenly and the chips tasted homemade. The only slightly "meh" factor was that the cheese atop the nachos was canned cheese and we would have preferred melted shredded cheese. This wouldn't have been such an issue had the canned cheese been in a rational amount but it seemed like a Costco-sized can poured onto these chips! These nachos were hidden under cheese glop! Regardless, they were still delicious. Tacos al Tijuanense holds true to its almost 40-year-old fame with affordable prices, delicious food, large portions giving you a bang for your buck and a surprisingly inviting ambiance. Tacos al Tijuanense is definitely recommended and the North Hills location is much recommended despite its odd plaza placement.

    Delicioso!!! Food was delicious and very fresh. I definitely felt like I was at my Tia's house and…read moreshe was cooking for me. I could smell the flavor on the carne asada. I like it charred a little. I could have eaten a tub of their rice. So light, fluffy and flavorful. I'm not a bean person but even the beans were hitting the spot. So much I would order them again. Usually I try the beans once and that's it. I'm pretty sure the tortillas were homemade. I loved that they were thick enough to hold everything but soft enough to eat. Salsa was a little too spicy for my liking. Everything was seasoned well. Everyone was very nice! But I definitely had to use my high school Spanish. Between my Spanglish and her English it was no problem. It's a very small hole in the wall. Cases of beer were stacked against the wall. There were only about 5-6 two top tables. Not good for a crowd but definitely great food. I think there was one unisex bathroom. I didn't go in. Looking at the pictures online I didn't know there was an outdoor patio. Looks nice in the pictures. I'm not sure about a parking lot. We parked on the street on Parthenia which was a little scary because drivers don't care about people getting out of the car.

From the adorable decorations to the delicious homemade-style beans, something about this place reminded me of my grandmother and instantly brought me so much joy. I ordered a mix of cheese and chicken enchiladas, and WOW the chicken was cooked perfectly and everything was delicious! My friend ordered the chilaquiles with verde sauce and asada. The meat was great, although personally I wish the verde sauce had a little more spice. She also ordered the Café de Olla and let me try it... SOOOO GOOD!!! I already know I'm ordering my own next time! I also had the chance to meet the owner, and he was incredibly attentive to both his customers and employees, which I loved seeing. Overall, XOCHIPILLI is such a cute little hidden nook with delicious food, great drinks, welcoming service, and affordable prices. I seriously can't wait to go back just writing this review has my mouth watering!

    I went in there on a Sunday around 11am with my 7year old. I don't know what's up with these…read morerestaurants now a days but service was shitty. She was even rude to my daughter. She had a nasty attitude and no smiles at all. I asked if they sold sopes I asked where on the meñu was it? So I can look at my options. The server told me it wasn't on the Meñu. In my head I'm like "how do you not have it on the meñu but yet sell it ?" I didn't make it a big deal but for some reason she seemed annoyed. I also asked one of the other servers if they can bring a lemonade for my daughter, she had said yes she can do that. But.. We got our food 35 mins later (keep in mind it was one plate) we were waiting on. & we still hadn't gotten our lemonade I had asked for. The cook brought us our plate & he was nice and asked if we needed anything else. I said " I asked one of the servers for a lemonade and it still hasn't been brought." & he mentioned he would let them know. Then the server comes back with an attitude and places it on the table, not even a word said. I even thanked her multiple times and nothing was said, no "you're welcome" or anything. She never even checked up on us or asked if we needed anything else. If you can't handle being a server why even work as one? Simple as that. This is what ruins a restaurant's reputation and makes people not want to go back. No tip was deserved.
