    1 beef taco, 1 small Coke please.
    Pepper B.

    I've never been served a taco so fast in my life. This is an institution obviously, been there forever. It's cash only and the tacos are just very standard and basic. But that's what you go to Henry's for. It's just you're getting a taco and you're paying like 4 bucks for it. I got one beef taco - it comes one way - and a small Coke and I gave her a 20 and she gave me my change back and immediately gave me my taco. It was like just there. I didn't see anybody make it. Maybe they make them ahead of time. It's outdoor seating only from what I saw. They do have umbrellas to get in the shade and it was very clean. The servers inside were very nice. Not the best taco in the world by any means, but it does its job.

    crunch hard shell taco with ground beef, rice, lettuce and tomato. So good.

    Henry's Tacos used to be across the street where Cactus is now. They have a long history with their establishment. I truly love this place; because they serve good, fresh food with plenty of ingredients. Good portions, but not that affordable. It's a bit pricy, but you get what you pay for. This is a family owned business and they keep it real and clean. Inside and outside. They have a cute patio in the front and in the back which is always enjoyable to sit outside and have your food. They don't have many options to choose from, since this is not an actual restaurant to sit down and order your food. Limited menu options which doesn't give you too much time to think what is it that you want to order?? They have Tostadas, soft and crunchy hard Tacos, Burritos which normally comes with ground beef, beans, lettuce and tomato. If you want to add anything extra such as guacamole, sour cream, rice, then you need to pay extra. They also give you mild and hot sauces. I was there on Saturday 1/3/2026 in the afternoon and got a crunch/hard shell taco and their standard size burrito. SO good! Especially their flour tortilla burrito. Always my 1st choice wherever I go!! Also have soft drinks. Few parking spots adjacent to the Taco booth/stand and a very nice, helpful, good customer service. CASH ONLY!! Place is neat and clean!! Go to Henry's Tacos and give them a try! You won't be disappointed!!!

    Been seeing and hearing a lot of positive things so had to try while in town and pleasantly surprised how close to my sisters in Hollywood hills!! Small super unassuming family owned and operated spot...Doing this for what seems to be a very very long time!! Picked up ten hard shell tacos and was delicious but vaguely reminded me of a cleaner, fresher and healthier Taco Bell taco? I would definitely recommend and I'll definitely be back to try their burrito next!!

    I used to come to Henry's all the time in high school and so excited to try it again! I remember being bummed when I heard they had closed but happy to see they just relocated. They are cash only. Easy parking in the shopping center. Simple menu and quick service. We ordered some crunchy tacos, a tostada, and a horchata and orange bang. It brought me all back to high school, still so simple and tasty and perfect for a quick taco fix. So glad I got to try it again and will be back for more!

    I have been coming here since I was a child at their original location on the corner of Tujunga and Moorpark before the Cactus took it over (bleh!). Luckily there now right down the street on Tujunga. The best Gringo Mexican especially when you need so Which quick, friendly, fast service. And it's a bargain! There's a little covered patio in the back to hang out and enjoy. Get extra hot sauce on the side to pour on everything. Love this place!

    Their tacos are classic from size to taste.  Simple.  Tasty.

    Let me admit something annoying (perhaps even snotty?) about myself: I try to go against the grain…read morein most things. I prefer things that are underground, independent and not mainstream. When EVERYONE loves something; I tend to scoff. I am this way with most forms of art, places and even food. I simply question trends and prefer to rely on my own opinion. So, when fellow Yelper and dining partner Michael B. suggested we try North Hollywood's Birrieria Familia Castro (only minutes from my apartment!) which received the coveted #1 position on Yelp's Top 100 Taco Spots list - I was hesitant. I wanted to hate it. But there is no way to hate Birrieria Familia Castro because they deserve their title. Let's explore... Birrieria Familia Castro is located near the Oxnard/Vineland intersection close to the Noho Arts District in a teeny tiny strip plaza next to a smoke shop across the street from a tire shop. Being the literal definition of 'hole in the wall'; don't let this environment detour you from dining at Birrieria Familia Castro because it is these hidden gems that are often the best (and obviously in this case). Birrieria Familia Castro is a family-owned eatery that is the baby of Anthony Castro and his parents opening the venture in 2022 and focusing on homemade recipes passed-down generations of their family tree focusing on layers of flavor and hours of marinading and simmering. Anthony begins his day with a prayer and takes nothing for granted with each patron who walks in the door. Those who Anthony welcomes will find a tiny dining space in terms of square footage and super-hot in temperature (their AC isn't the most consistent so they need to open the door as the day-long cooking heats the space); but it is clean and cozy enough. The menu at Birrieria Familia Castro is rather simple focusing on what they are good at: breakfast, tacos, various birrias (quesatacos, vampiros, mulitas, dorados) and some a la carte plates. I personally enjoyed the smaller menu as I tend to get overwhelmed with too many choices. For my dinner, I chose two Quesatacos (crispy corn tortillas filled with meat, mozzarella, onions and cilantro - $5.25 each choosing one birria and one asada) while my dining partner chose two Birria Vampiros (toasted corn tortilla with meat in between burned cheese on top, onion and cilantro served with beans and rice - $13. 49) plus, Birrieria Familia Castro's famous birria consommé. Our dishes arrived rather quickly and were served on gorgeous, culturally-authentic clay plates that I thought were a lovely touch. My desire to go against the popular fan-favorites is out the door because Birrieria Familia Castro is sooooooo goooodddd! My quesatacos were fantastic: perfect texture tortillas made by spreading the consommé fat on the tacos because throwing them on a hot griddle with tender, amazingly-flavored long-simmered meat. Even the little picked onions were marvelous. The birria consommé was to die for: an orchestra of harmonious flavor with chunks of meat swimming in the broth: I could consume a bucket of this! Yelper Michael B.'s Birria Vampiros were, by his account, delicious and "a win": hard shell with burned cheese that was a perfect combination with the pickled onions and tableside salsas and birria consommé. Micheal even mixed some of the consommé with the rice and beans which was "an extra treat". If the amazing food wasn't enough; we had a pleasant chat with the main man Anthony, himself. Anthony is hyper-focused on not only offering delicious food; but genuinely caring about his customers and how he can improve. Anthony reads all Yelp reviews to see any areas that need finessing and cares about small details of his business: remember those clay plates I am obsessed with? Anthony curates those from an artist in Mexico and he even orders plates with dividers for those who don't like ingredients touching on their plate. It is this concern and attention to detail that helped land Birrieria Familia Castro as Yelp's #1 in the nation. Although limited in hours (closed Mondays, some days closing as early as 5pm due to overhead costs and competition); Birrieria Familia Castro is highly recommended. Top-tier food, customer service and priced well - truly deserving. Don't be stubborn like me and find out why Birrieria Familia Castro is #1

    We drove all the way from Moreno Valley to check this little gem out, and honestly, it was well…read moreworth the drive! The moment we walked in, it felt so welcoming and homey, almost like being in your tía's kitchen. The location is a little hit or miss since it's right on a busy street and on the corner, but once you're inside, the ambiance makes up for it. We came in with a party of 6, and the service was amazing! Everyone was so friendly and attentive, and the turnaround was surprisingly quick. The food came out hot and fresh, not sitting around waiting. Our plates were brought out as soon as they were ready. I ordered 2 birria tacos with consomé and OMG... The pickled onions were THE BEST and topped off the tacos perfectly! The flavors were incredible. I'll definitely be coming back. This place is absolutely worth the drive! And a big shoutout to the owners for being so kind and welcoming. You can really feel the love they put into their food and their business.

The lot backs up into the street.

We were served food but not given utensils. We asked twice and got 2 forks for 5 people, but lots of napkins. The third request got it done. They did give clean plates to split meals, and warned us about the $5 fee for using a credit card. Our party of 5 adults got 3 meals, a salad, and a pitcher of lime margaritas for $111 plus tip. We had leftovers. In all, I would go again. Maybe Sunday at 2 PM was a bad time? I don't know.
