    I read about Angel's Tijuana Tacos in the LA Times (before I unsubscribed due to the owner being so cozy with Trump and clamping down on free speech.) Great tacos al Pastor in the Tujunga area, with fantastic salsas and refreshing drinks. Pricing is right in line with other taco trucks and service is prompt. Park in the lot right behind the stand's location on Foothill. Great option in the area!

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

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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

    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.

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

    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!

    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 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.

It gets pretty busy around dinner time so expect a long wait as the line moves pretty slowly (everything is made/ cooked fresh!)... but the wait is 100% worth it. Just make sure you order enough the first time so you dont have to wait in line again. There is some parking but it gets pretty crowded too so you might have to street park (and the area around can get a little sketch) so be careful. The second time we came here was almost 1130pm right before their midnight closing. This time, the parking lot was emptier so we managed to park inside. There was still a pretty steady stream of customers even around closing, but at least the line isn't ridiculously long. Can't go wrong with anything you order here!

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.

You can tell that it's house made and I liked the chewy texture of it. However, respectfully the filling felt and tasted like bean goo. I could only really taste the refried bean flavor which was strong. It kind of meshed all the components together into a gooey filling. I got this with asada meat and the meat was kind of chewy and not so flavorful on its own. Props to the tortilla though for not spilling everything out and holding it together well, but still a bit difficult to eat. I would ask for utensils when eating this dish. The green onion garnish was unique. I wish they gave more lime wedges because that helped elevate the dish. For $13 this wasn't too bad, but I'd rather get a better burrito from a street vendor. This is a casual eats type of place with both indoor and outdoor seating and tables. They also serve alcohol and even frozen alcoholic drinks. They have a free parking lot in front, but it can be competitive to get a spot. Overall, my experience here was just okay and I would opt for other spots.
