If you're in Copenhagen come to Hija de Sanchez, it is a must because it was one of the best tacos! I wanted to go to the sit down restaurant but didn't make a reservation so I came to this location as I still wanted to support and try the food and it didn't disappoint. I had their combo which was 3 tacos (pastor, barbacoa and cabbage). The barbacoa was the most tasty one. It was so good. The pastor came in second. Personally not a fan of the cabbage/veggie one. The churros were so delicious too, I loved them! The service was great too. Add this to your list when you're in Copenhagen!

Taco combo w/ beans + rice

After being in Europe since August 21, I had a serious craving for Mexican food. When I landed in Copenhagen, I immediately sought a restaurant for my craving and came across Hija de Sanchez. Walking there from my hotel, I was met by a much smaller restaurant than I expected. If I had done more research other than looking at the food, I would have realized this is a mostly-take-out restaurant. Although there is some limited inside and outside seating(one table to seat ~4 inside, several small tables for 2 outside), it is not the sit-down restaurant I was expecting. But, considering it was nowhere near Mexico, it was quite good. I ordered the taco combo, along with a side of beans and rice. As someone used to eating a LOT of Tex-Mex in the States, I noticed immediately that the tacos and side needed hot sauce. Although there was some spice, there wasn't enough to make it taste more authentic. Given, can I blame them for not having them spicier? No, but it would be nice if they had a hot sauce that I could add on- whether it be Cholula or just plain Tabasco. Besides the lack of spice, they were pretty good. All three were pretty flavorful (although not extremely). However, the tortillas were tasty using any standard. BUT (and this is a big but), they are obscenely expensive. For my taco combo and side of rice + beans, I paid 175 kroner... AKA €23.5... Seriously? I'm sorry, but this was so expensive I don't think any part of the meal could justify it.

Mexican Food in DENMARK?! YESSSSS! Don't forget the homemade churros and a margarita, you won't regret this amazing find!

Combo tacos with al pastor, fried fish, and rajas

There is a lot of bad Mexican food in Europe. Having eaten my fair share of stale tortilla chips out of a bag and ketchup based salsa, I was pretty skeptical of Hija de Sanchez. However, if David Chang says its good, we figured it was worth a shot. Happily, we weren't disappointed. We ordered the taco combo, so got to try all three on offer that day. The al pastor and fried fish but surprisingly, the vegetarian "raja" was my favorite. It was more tostada than taco and had great flavor combos from the green chilies, fresh corn, and mound of finely grated cheese. We also had the rice and beans, and a pineapple juice drink. In hindsight, I wish I had ordered a margarita -- I saw someone else get one and had total order envy! Sadly, they were not offering chips and salsa during our visit. But, they did have one of their famous "palletas" (popsicles for all your gringos) on offer. We shared one avacado pop. It came beautifully presented on a plate, drizzled with dulce de leche and freeze-dried fruit (raspberry, maybe?) bits. It was tasty and instagramable. Win-win! Our all time favorite Mexican restaurant in Europe -- it does feel like a little bit of an oxymoron saying that -- is Coba in Amsterdam, and while Hija isn't quite on Coba's level, it is still most certainly worth a visit if you find yourself in Copenhagen with a taco hankering.

I did not come to Copenhagen expecting to have some pretty amazing Mexican food! As other have mentioned I have had my fair share of terrible Mexican food in Europe. However, upon doing some research I discovered that this little gem was found by Latina woman whose worked at the Noma. Upon entering the restaurant I felt transported to somewhere far away from Copenhagen. The staff was Latinx and they were playing music is Spanish. I could see the al pastor and smell all the spices in the air! I had one al pastor and one cabbage. The al pastor was delicious and everything I needed. I was incredibly impressed with the cabbage taco that was so perfectly seasoned and tasted amazing with the roasted peanuts. Even the rice and beans were amazing! Highly recommend making a stop here while in Copenhagen!

Wife and I are vacationing in Copenhagen and went here to celebrate Dia de los Muertos. Delicious food. Great atmosphere. Smelled like a tortilla shop anywhere I've been before. Wife loved the barbacoa. It was incredible. I personally loved the grilled cabbage. Cabbage has no business being that freaking delicious. The pastor pork was solid as well. Pricey, but a special treat to celebrate.

One of the best Al Pastor tacos I've had. It's a cute shop in an area with lots of cute restaurants. No restrooms or indoor seating but plenty of outdoor seating. The Al Pastor is 35 DKK and the Carne Asada is 40 DKK. We also had a side of the Beans and Rice for 50 DKK. Our favorite was the Al Pastor; it was so good you don't need the Jalapeno and Habanero sauces. The Carne Asada was a bit dry. The refried beans and rice were fine. Overall, would recommend a stop for the bomb ass Al Pastor taco, but it is pretty pricey.

Hot sauce Green - mild heat lots of flavor Yellow- habanero on fire!! Tip - shake Them up  Well

Cute outdoor/indoor spot with latin music pumping from the kitchen sets a lovely ambience I had a crane asada taco which was amazing. It had a spicy salsa on top already and it was packed with flavor. Only on taco per order, unless you order the combo 3 for 100. Expensive, but all of denmark, sweden and norway are. Definitely worth a try. Especially if you are an American longing for a taste of home. I consider Mexican food an American food group

This Hija de Sanchez is located in the Meat District and surrounded by loads of other great restaurants. This fact may be of significant importance if you've a large appetite. My girlfriend and I actually passed by this spot and I went into the Indian restaurant next door to ask where it was. Haha. Indoors is quite cozy. There is outdoors seating. They have drinks on tap. It's quite beautiful, the drinks on tap. Although, they didn't have horchata both days I went. I got jarritos soda instead. The tacos! They are abso-fricking-lutely delicious. A few drawbacks are: they don't double the tortilla, which makes eating by hand super messy and it isn't filling because they are incredibly teeny tiny. Like damn, I can't finish three normal tacos, but I was left wanting more after having just eaten three of the tacos from here. Good and bad because you can try all flavors without filling up, but if you want that satisfied feeling, I gotta say you aren't going to get it here unless you order like eighty tacos. Fillings differ by day. It seems al pastor is always there though. In my opinion, that is the best one. I would definitely recommend coming here!

3 tacos for 100 DK

I first saw Hija de Sanchez at Torvehallerne, a small stall that sells tortillas, Mexican sodas and other products. Very recently they opened a location at Kødbyen (Meatpacking District) and together with other businesses are turning this place more and more interesting. The vibe of this small restaurant is casual. You come and order at the cashier, they have a range of tacos, flautas, quesadillas and paletas. We came for lunch and had the combo, three tacos for 100 DK -- very reasonable. I also ordered a side of totopos with salsa caseira (although I wish they would have guacamole as an option here) and água de jamaica (hibiscus tea). My three tacos were: Lengua (Caramelized beef tongue, Coriander, Onion, jalapeño salsa), Pastor (Marinated roasted pork, Grilled pinapple, Cilantro, Onion salsa), Fish (Crispy cod skin, Jalapeno tomato salsa). To be honest I didn't taste the pineapple on the pastor taco, and thought the jalapeño salsa + coriander kind of stole the entire flavor. Maybe they could try chipotle or chile de árbol for a next time. This place offers good and authentic tacos for a reasonable price. Will certainly come back.

Best burgers ever. I went 3 times and made sure to eat it once more right before my flight back…read morehome. I also love that they have vinegar salt you can add to your fries. The beef is so fresh and the bun is great too.

Ranked as the 6th best burger in the world by Food and Wine magazine in 2024 ("Organic beef…read morecheeseburger with onions, pickles, and a house Gasoline Sauce. $16 "), the Gasoline Grill hamburger restaurant has multiple locations throughout Denmark. It's one of those things where I was glad I stopped by, but didn't really experience anything with the food or ambiance that would make me recommend this as a out-of-the way stop that the ranking would seem to suggest. This one is the original, using the station building as a walk-up window with the kitchen inside. They have a few picnic tables on the side for outdoor dining, and I do think that it's important to eat the burger as soon as possible. The interesting thing is that it is still a working gas station, with an island with multiple pumps dispensing petrol (which I didn't see being used during my wait) and some electric charging stations (which was actively being used). I was able to place my order (nothing customized, just wanted exactly as they described after about a 10 minute wait, got my lemonade right away, and waited another 10 minutes to get my food (everything is made-to-order). The cheeseburger was 110 DKK, fries was 40, lemonade was 35, and dipping sauce was 10 with 10 off for being a combo. So total was 185 DKK (about $28.88 in USD). The process and food reminded me very much of a Shake Shack, with the young workers working together to produce well-made smashburgers using great ingredients. The color scheme reminds me of a Wingstop, though. I squeezed between a couple of single diners and dug in. The burger was good, with that loose smash burger quality. It came with a mayo based thousand island like sauce (their gasoline sauce), and had tomato, pickles, red onion slices, and a gooey, plentiful cheese. The lemonade was good, and the hint of elderflower made it memorable. The crinkle fries were good, well done fried which I appreciate. Ate the meal fast before my hands started to freeze up, tossed the remains in the gas station islands garbage bin and was on my way. I really do think a food like this is all about where you eat it...if on an airplane, or at a ballpark, or at the beach...yeah, I could see the appeal. But at a gas station in freezing weather on a picnic table...not so much.
