La Chingona Tacos

I have been meaning to try this restaurant for quite some time now and finally got the chance to…read more Went there to celebrate my mothers birthday. Let's start off with location wise it's very centrally located in the valley so you can get to it fairly quick. Parking was not it's best. It is on Ventura Blvd so street parking is very difficult. They do have onsite parking in the back but there's only about 5 spots only and it seems like most of them are take either by staff or delivery vehicles. Now walking into this place you are def transported into a very lively Mexican culture that is undeniably amazing. I loved the decor and how you just feel at home. They are playing music the whole time loud enough for you to feel the vibes but still be able to have conversations. Now the food let me just say 10/10. I had the mole the presentation is amazing and the taste of it is even better. My fiancé had the aguachiles con mango which he says are also a 10/10. Finally my mother ordered the queso birria tacos which were pretty good as well. The margarita flight was def my favorite, I am not a big margarita fan as they tend to be a bit sweet for my liking but these were actually pretty well balanced and delicious. Overall I had a great experience the service was good. Will def be coming back and will recommend.

Would rate 4.5, bumped to 5 bc of service…read more Beautiful and aesthetically pleasing restaurant with even better service and palette of food. Came in last night to celebrate a friend's birthday (they have happy hour all day Mon-Wed) and was pleasantly surprised. My friends started off ordering the HH guava margaritas, which they enjoyed. I ordered the coconut margarita (not on HH) a must !!!! Not overwhelmingly sweet and tasty! We ordered and rated the following dishes: Guacamole: 9/10 HH tinga Nachos: 7.5/10 (flavor was there but most chips were burnt) HH Taquitos papas: 9/10 great flavor and sauce HH steak tacos: 7.5/10 the corn and portion of meat to the taco was very good. The steak a little well done for my liking. Enchiladas verde: 9/10 great portion honestly enough for two to share. Rice and beans were okay. Beans a bit salty and rice was a bit bland. Would definitely come back for the apps and drinks! They also have brunch which looks like fun.

The tripas were good, but I wish they made it crisper. Even though I ask it to be, anyway. Also, their horchata is fantastic, not too sweet. Overall, good tacos and friendly vibes.

I ordered two tacos de asada, the meat was dry and cut up in thick chunks, not well seasoned. The table did not have many toppings or salsa variations. Only one salsa bottle. Tacos had cilantro, onions and little limes. They were wrapped up in foil; very plain presentation. 2/5 I also order chips and salsa; these were the life savers I enjoyed them. They were served in a small box topped with onions, cilantro, pico de gallo, and this dressing that enhanced the chips. 4.5/5 And a can of coke for a total of $14.00 As a last minute resort it was decent.

The GF bread on the sandwich was pretty exceptional and the sauces were great, though the bread did get soggy fairly quickly.

It's not the cheapest tacos you will find, but the price is worth it because they stuff their tacos well with a great proportion. They also give you a bag of tortilla chips too. There are 2 salsa options: green (mild) and red (spicy) Service is good and quick. They have a sign that you can text them your order ahead of time.

I'm really glad we stopped here. I originally planned to get a salad, but who can resist freshly…read moremade tortillas? I ordered a shrimp tostada, and was surprised to get what other restaurants might call a taco salad--flour tortilla shell with black beans on the bottom, filled with lettuce, nicely seasoned (and not overdone) shrimp, cheese, sour cream, guacamole, and tomato salsa. (At other places I have visited, a tostada meant a fried corn tortilla topped with beans, lettuce, etc.) I enjoyed my meal. It was more food than I expected. My spouse got a small sized burrito with a side salad, which was still plenty of food. When I walked in I was so hungry and tired that I went straight to the counter without noticing the salsa bar at the entrance. I sat with my back to the salsa bar, so I didn't see it until after I finished eating and my spouse said something about a "toppings bar." That was unfortunate, because I kept thinking I wanted more salsa. Note to self: if you don't get salsa with your chips, look for a salsa bar. Service was prompt and very friendly. The space was sunny and welcoming with both indoor and outdoor seating. Plenty of free parking at Trader Joe's in the back. In the 1980s I came to Woodland Hills for church and had no idea this taqueria was here. I'm glad I found this place on my first visit back to the area in decades. I'm surprised that the ratings are not higher. I will definitely look out for Poquito Mas if life takes me back to the Valley.

I don't remember if it was late last year or early this year, they re-located to this new location right on Valley Circle/Mulholland right in front of a big plaza. It's definitely a higher traffic area compared to the old location. Not sure if they left because of this or the neighbors booted them out. From what I can remember, they are opened until around 2am on Friday/Saturdays. They are usually closed on Mondays and close around 12am from T-Thurs. Their prices used to be around $2 per when they first started. It's gone up to $2.50 per now. They are cash only from what I can recall. I don't know if they accept Venmo/Zelle like other locations do. For me, this is probably the best taco stand in the West Hills area. They do not make their own tortillas, but I really like the flavor they infuse on their meats. I always order al pastor, cabeza, buche, tripas, lengua or brisket. They have avocado, and hot salsas to go with their food. For the most part, the food is prepped pretty fast and I never have to wait long. They are usually done prepping my food even before I finish packing up my condiments.
