I've been following Angels Tijuana Tacos on Instagram for a while and finally decided to give them…read morea try, especially since it was Sunday, meaning less traffic, and I was having a serious pregnancy craving lol.
They're conveniently located right off the freeway, so finding them was easy thanks to the cross streets they post on social media. When we arrived, there was already a line, and more people kept joining as we waited, which made us even more excited--seeing the crowd felt like a good sign!
At the front of the line, you first order your burritos, quesadillas, or tortillas hechas a mano. Then, you're quickly moved along to order your tacos, where you'll be asked "anything else" repeatedly until you're done. Finally, you get any al pastor items and then pay. They accept cash or Zelle. Unfortunately, the aguas frescas weren't placed near the checkout area, so I missed out on getting a horchata after I'd already paid, which was a bit disappointing.
The overall experience at the location was pretty average. The staff was clearly working hard, but they weren't very personable or approachable. I even mentioned that I wanted my tacos to look like the ones on their Instagram, but the guy just ignored me. Sadly, the tacos were smaller and less meaty than advertised, and the same went for my burrito--hardly any rice and beans. It's conflicting because the flavors were genuinely good, but the portions were underwhelming and the service could have been better.
Despite this, my husband loved the food, so I can see us coming back--maybe just sticking to the tacos next time. And definitely getting salsa on the side because one of them was extra spicy! The guac, though, was my favorite!
