It smelled like a completely different truck, and I was told it's under the same ownership--but it…read moredidn't feel that way at all. The truck itself looks different now, and unlike before, there were no prices posted outside, which was a red flag. The green sauce had an off texture. The tortillas were still good, but they were out of key meats like asada and cabeza, and no one could explain why. That left me ordering chicken (which was bland), pastor, and lengua--which ended up being tough. Overall, the experience was disappointing compared to what it used to be. Unfortunately, I won't be coming back.

My second time visiting this taco spot. My previous review talks about how much I like this place…read more But my first time here I only got the tacos. On this trip, I got my usual go to at taco trucks which is a couple of tacos and a mulita! Just as delicious as I remembered. I came through on the later side, so there wasn't that long of a line. The place was really chill on the people were really friendly. This place is located in Sylmar, which is where the 5 and the 405 converge. So if I haven't gotten food yet, it's a great stop on the way up to see my folks in the Bay Area. So glad I did. I think I should start making a tradition whenever I drive up.

I didn't get the option to take a picture of my plate but let's just say that, that's how good the food was lol!

My wife and I came to Rigos taco last night because she was craving tacos. So she placed her order…read moreover the phone before we left to pick it up. The parking where this place is at is horrible because its very limited and small. This place is also not in the best of area because when we came on a Friday night, some cars that were parked in front of the place was doing some kind of shady business deal. Since there was no parking, my wife stayed in the car and I went inside to pick up the order. My wife got three carne asada tacos and my sister asked for lengua taco. You pack your own salsa and sauce for your to go order so be aware of that. The cups for the sauces and sides are so small. Customer service here was great when I came to pick up the food. The cook greeted me politely and the lady packed up my food. They charge a credit card fee here so be aware. My wife enjoyed her carne asada and my sister liked her lengua taco. I likely wouldn't come back thought because parking is just so bad and there better taco options near me with better parking.

The tacos were pretty cheap for their size and also the handmade tortillas! The ladies that took our order and made our food were all very formerly and they were working hard because while we sat there many people came to grab food. We got multiple tacos- carnitas, asada, pastor and lengua and a quesadilla. -The carnitas tacos were our favorite, the meat was juicy and tender and it didn't have big chunks of fat like some other places do. -The pastor and asada were also pretty tasty and tender but a bit more dry than the carnitas. -The lengua taco was mushy and bland. -The quesadilla was pretty big in size but also full of meat and cheese. We got it with carnitas and it made it even juicier- highly recommend you trying this one. Overall we enjoyed our late night bite and the prices were unbeatable.

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.

Ordering can be a little daunting given there isn't much guidance from the staff. Tacos are the specialty. Hand made fresh tortilla are pressed and cook on a flat top right in front. All the proteins are in trays or a boiling pot or the spinning "trompo". Cooked and fresh add on ingredients are all on display to add onto your selection. Rice, beans, onions, etc. At the check out table they have additional add ons. Marinated peppers, slivered onions, radishes. We watched folks place their order so we were able to figure out what to order. We ordered... Asada tacos Al pastor tacos Asada queso burrito Tripa queso burrito Tacos are nicely portioned, future son in law ate 5. Wife at 3. The taco was soft but firm with great corn texture. The Al Pastor is the champ here with the pineapple dang it was good!! The queso burrito was da bomb. The cheese is slapped onto the flat top to brown and build a bit of extra flavor. The tortilla was set on top and then filled with your meat, rice and beans, green onions and your choice of salsa. OMG. The cheese was so flavorful it really heightened the flavor of the other ingredients. Try it!! So good We got one watermelon drink which was made with fresh watermelon. You can taste the grittiness of the melon in a good way. Maybe had sweetener added but dang it was good Outside seating is provided which gave it the street fair vibe. Parking was easy in the CVS lot. You get a decent amount of food for the money which is high on my list when we go out to eat.

As I was eating, I noticed that the styrofoam plate had melted due to being in direct contact with the hot food. Why are they even serving food on styrofoam plates?
