I saw the huge vertical rotisserie from the road. Al Pastor time!
Cindy S.

Angel's Tijuana Tacos are expanding everywhere! 13 locations throughout Los Angeles to San Bernardino to Riverside county. Most locations are closed on Mondays. Their usual hours are: Tue-Sun: 4:30pm - Midnight. Love the handmade corn tortillas made to order. Even better are the charcoal grilled meats. The Carne Asada is good. The Al Pastor on the vertical rotisserie is delicious! It's a "messy plate" as they generously pile on the meats and salsas- get extra napkins! This location here is on Foothill Blvd in the Tujunga - La Cresenta area; in front of PetSmart. No crazy lines here like the EagleRock/Glassell Park stand, but it does get freezing cold up here in the highlands... bring a jacket/sweater and CASH!

Large piece of sharp plastic in my food.

I ordered al pastor tacos and a carne asada burrito and there was literally a sharp large piece of plastic in my tacos, and I ended up chewing on it and hurting my mouth. If I swallowed it without knowing, I would be in the hospital for this hazardous piece of plastic potentially ripping through my stomach. This is absolutely unacceptable. I need a full refund for this meal. I have messaged the instagram of this establishment and awaiting resolution.

Love this place. I usually go to the one in Glassell Park, but am happy they have a location on Foothill. Portions are still generous. I finally got to try their potato and it was humongous! It's definitely enough for 2-3 people, depending on how hungry you are or if you bought other things. Give this place a try.. they're food is good and workers a friendly!

The whole spot with fresh tortillas getting grilled up.

Current favorite chain of pop up taco spots. I think in particular it's what they do with the queso tacos or the keto taco that make this place tops for my LA street tacos cravings, or any tacos for that matter. They queso tacos grill the cheese and the keto taco is made with a grilled cheese shell, so while low carb and counting for keto, does pack the calories, but is so good in its own right even on non-diets. This place gets all the street taco stuff right: Fresh pressed tortillas. Multiple salsas. A bunch of fixings including grilled jalapeño, cucumbers, cilantro, etc. on the side table. Spit grilled Al-pastor with pineapple on top they'll cut bits off of for your tacos. Just delicious out and out. There is a reason this it has caught on with so many locations in greater LA. I've been to four different locations and all of them hold up. I will say, there are a handful of places among the thousands of taco spots in LA that may lay claim to being superior to Angel's when it comes to specific types of taco meats, and they don't offer the wider variety at some spots that offer Cabeza, goat, etc., but when it comes to their all around score and the way they nail their pastor queso tacos, it gets top marks. Most of their various meats (and menu items) would easily finish top 10 out of 100+ taco places I've eaten at in LA, so while there's a place off the 10 that I'd say edges them out for carne asada, when you consider everything Angel's has to offer, quality of tortillas and the queso avocado tacos in particular, they've got the top spot.

If you're in the La Canada, La Crescenta to Tujunga area you have to try the Best Street Tacos !!! This place is amazing. They are really clean and organized. The food is always fresh ! 10 Taco 1 Carne asada Burito Mexican Coke $38 Bucks

Mulita is huge but not very good. The tortillas aren't even very good. Definitely not Tujuana tacos that I've had many times.
Shannon S.

Way, WAY TOO SALTY. Every meat was way too salty and they don't take the fat off of it and some of it was really dry. They don't have rojo sauce either, which is strange. I used to eat tacos in Tujuana all the time as a kid. This isn't it. The portions are huge!! They are very nice. The food was disappointing.

saw angel's tj tacos driving by, up the street from my cousin's house nearby! finally got to try it after coming by with my parents 1 star off for shorting me a taco, not sure which one it was lol and also not having seats, even though it was along the street! the ambiance is a drive by street vendor! service was decent, thankfully my mom knew how to speak spanish!

Al pastor tacos

Short and quick review here: Angels Tijuana opened a newer location here in la crescenta. I am biased because I love angels. But their Al pastor tacos are always top notch and this location is no exception. Always go for anything Al pastor related here! It always hits!

Located by the petsmart sidewalk

I love how Angel's Tijuana Tacos are expanding into so many new areas! After only going to the location by Eagle Rock, I tried the one in Tujunga. The workers are super nice, but do not speak English (which is totally fine), but just a heads up in case you don't speak any Spanish. Their Angel's potatoes and Al Pastor tacos are probably the most popular items on their menu and I highly recommend you try them out. The potatoes are LOADED with al pastor meat and you can probably share it with 1 or 2 other people. The al pastor tacos were also loaded with meat then topped with pineapples, and their signature sauces. They have three types of sauces, 1 green, 1 red, and another avocado(?) style salsa. I decided to get the avo and red sauce. I would suggest getting a ques-taco (taco with melted cheese) because it creates a barrier between the tortilla and the meat. I decided not to get the cheese and it definitely made my taco suuuper soggy and it all broke apart before I could eat it. Their tortillas are fresh and handmade, and it is super delicious! Side note: This location is located on the sidewalk in front of Petsmart and there is a ton of parking by the petsmart parking lot. Also, opt to eat it on your trunk rather than to go especially if you get the tacos because the tortillas will definitely get soggy

I wanted to order all the things but I exercised some restraint and just ordered the CARAMELO ($8.75 - Flour tortilla, pinto beans, Monterey Jack cheese, avocado salsa, salsa roja, avocado, cabbage.). I picked chorizo as my protein option. I also, of course, had to also add the smoky grilled poblano chile for $1.25. It was SO good and FLAVORFUL - it didn't even need the salsas. Although, I will note that both the salsas were lovely. The flour tortilla was clearly freshly made. Also, it was a massive portion. I don't know what I was expecting. If this is the size of their caramelo, I don't want to know how giant the burrito is. I also had to get the cucumber agua fresca to pair with my caramelo. It was perfectly sweetened and wonderfully refreshing. I'll have to make my way back here now to try the burrito 2.0 and chivichanga.

It is just favor, beyond flavor, beyond flavor. Yes the tacos Trios both meat or vegan, or just one taco is more pricey than the usual taco truck, but there is a reason. The portions! They are generous. The box is made of paper, not styrofoam. Cheese, yes please, but with or without it is great. The tacos are hand made blue corn tortilla, real guacamole, the cheese. They don't skimp, and with their Jamaica pink onion toppings that are sweet.... it just all goes together so well. A fiesta in you mouth just like the party going on inside the store. I do worry about the people cooking and working there. I hope they are wearing ear plugs or hearing protection because it is LOUD! Be prepared. The line goes fast, it is worth the wait.

I came here for dinner on a week night and my experience here was pretty good. I had the asada and al pastor tacos with all the toppings and they were both so good and full of meat and heat. The toppings can be spicy for some, so be warned. My favorite of the two was the all pastor which was flavorful and I did like the thinly shaved meat. It was not dry at all and was fresh. I also tried the mulita with al pastor meat and that was also soso good. Cheesy, meaty, and indulgent. The additional topping section had good variety with pickled onions, cucumbers, etc. and everything seemed pretty fresh. Unfortunately, they were pretty much out of the roasted pepper and grilled onions at the time I went. To drink, I had the horchata and that was also very delicious. It was huge, sweet, and creamy. I also loved how it was not grainy at all. A good pairing with the rich foods. They also have a good amount of seating at the stand with a long table and multiple chairs. Parking is tricky since its street parking only.

I've been meaning to try the other items on their menu, but it was so good the first time that I had to order it again. The portions are *very* generous, and they had the usual sides readily available on the side: lemons, cucumbers, sliced radish, grilled onions and peppers, etc. Also had a bite of their corn quesadilla... the tortilla was soooo good. They had the masa on the side and were making the tortillas fresh and by hand. Yum. Payment: - They take Apple pay! :) Parking: - We found street parking nearby thankfully, but it might be hard to find in general due to the area. Seating: - They have seating to the left of their grill (tables, folding chairs, a tarp overhead). Depending on the time of day, sometimes the shade doesn't quite cover your face--the sun was setting and hitting us right in the eyes, so we switched sides to sit facing away from the sun once those seats were available.

I delayed writing this review to really think through, and now I will confidently say--these are…read moreeasily the best tacos I've ever had. Having been to so many taco stands, I think what makes Tire Shop Taqueria really stand out are the right-off-the-grill charcoal-grilled meats, the freshly made tortillas literally in front of you as you are waiting on line, and the free guacamole that comes with each taco. The ordering process is like any other taco stand, though one difference is here the salsas/guacamole are all handled by the staff. If you'd like more of something, just ask them instead of reaching for the ladle yourself. There is a separate area though for grilled onions/peppers and radishes you can serve yourself. I got the asada, chorizo, cabeza, and al pastor, and they were all so good. The asada and chorizo are specifically grilled over charcoal, and that flavor really shines through. I loved how meaty and tender the cabeza was too, and the classic al pastor hit the spot. They have large communal tables setup, so it is a great friendly vibe to enjoy your meal I will say, the surrounding area is not the best in LA, especially given how the taco stand is only open at night. The parking lot is quite small, so I parked on a side street that had some abandoned cars, but of course, if you are in/from LA, this is not that new for us. I would hesitate if I am a tourist though to make it out here. Anyhow, the food really is worth it here, and I can't wait to be back!

The tostada was very hard and chewy thought I was going to brake a tooth. Asada meat and guacamole on the tostada had no salt.

Tortillas hand made which that's a plus Agua fresca de pineapple tasted water down too much just tasted the water with hint of pineapple. If you new to this place just know that you can ask for frijoles de la olla on the side they are free. I did like that they had grill onions and it's self serve. Street parking available, but know area not the best to be in. Tables have about 3 incase you planning eat there, & if super hungry know you will be waiting for a long time. It's really cool know it's a tire shop during the day and a taco shop in evenings. This place is very laid back attired unfortunately no music playing.

These were truly the epitome of street tacos and absolutely nothing about the vibe, the service, and the FOOD, disappointed. Immediately upon arrival, I noticed the long line of people and said to myself, either this place is really good or really slow. It took me longer to decide what I wanted to try than what it took for the line to move and for it to be my turn to order. So yea, these folks are FAST and very courteous as well. They have real Al Pastor on the trompo (the spit) so of course I ordered pastor tacos and a pastor mulita. I also ordered a few SUADERO tacos which you don't find just anywhere. I am still raving about the amount of meat and flavor of the food here, it's insanely delicious. Once you get your food you make your way down to the end of the taco stand where you are met with an amazing array of fresh taco fixings and salsas. The pink creamy-habanero was the best and the green/red salsas followed right behind. I can't wait to go back to this place. It's mind blowing how a stand on the side of the road puts out better quality food than a brick/mortar taco shop..but these guys know exactly what they are doing and it was a pleasure to try their food. 20 out of 10 for this place.

I do like how they grill their meat though and they use the tortillas to scoop up the meat on the grill. Thought the al pastor was a bit salty and the cheese did not add much flavor to it, but that's probably a good thing considering the saltiness of the meat. Also, make sure you ask them for pineapples since they did not include it until we asked. They do have them sliced up in a container by the meats. Ambience is very casual and it's a stand while eating type of situation. Service was quick.
