I recently tried out El Cocinero's food at an event that they catered to. As a person who eats meat and is not restricted, I would come here for the good food. The vegan al pastor had chunks of pineapple and it is seasoned and cooked to taste just like the meat version. The texture is just a little bit different but it does resemble a lot like meat. The vegan pastor also tastes just like the meat version, just less "smoky" and the texture is softer. The rice is flavorful and fluffy. The beans are seasoned just enough to have flavor but not compete with the other dishes. The creamy chipotle sauce was perfect topping the rice and beans. I do like vegan food but the only reference I had with Mexican vegan are places that try to add fake cheese and lean heavily on beans and rice. This business shows that you can still have all the flavors and not rely on cheese and meat. They focus on the flavors and not what would make non-vegans feel comfortable. Initially, I was going to give this first time experience a 4 star review so that it encourages me to go check out the restaurant so I can add the service and the ambiance. However, I was lucky enough to bring home leftovers and as I was eating it, the food tastes better. Had to add the extra star!

I finally made it in, and I'm glad I did. The first impression was solid. The entrance and dining area were clean, and the staff were all wearing uniforms, gloves, hats, and hairnets -- a nice touch for anyone who pays attention to hygiene. The place is quite spacious. I especially liked the self-serve bread station with fresh bolillos and plenty of empty trays with tongs so you can grab what you want and bring it to the register. Fresh fruit drinks are also available right next to the counter. I asked the cashier what's their most popular torta, and she recommended the Torta Chubana. I waited about 15 minutes, which I thought was perfectly reasonable since it meant the food was made fresh. Unfortunately, the flavor didn't match my expectations. I was hoping for bold, exciting flavors, but it fell a little flat. It wasn't bad, but the meat tasted pretty flavorless. It could definitely use more salt, pepper, spice, and a bit more cream or sauce for balance. They've got the seasonings -- just use them! Overall, the spot has a great setup and good vibes. I'll likely be back to try other items and hope the tortas get a bit more seasoning next time.

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.

The Best Taco Truck in Van Nuys -- We Went Back 3 Times in 4 Days to Prove It We came to Los Angeles (Van Nuys) on a mission: find the best taco truck in the city. We hit four different spots over four days, and the winner wasn't even close. Beans & Limes in Van Nuys was so outrageously good that we ditched our plans to keep exploring and went back three times. Three. Times. Here's what we devoured: I tackled the Pastor Fries -- smoky, savory, and absolutely addictive. My wife went straight for the tacos and knocked out the carne asada, chicken, and pastor. Every single one was flawless. We also demolished the House Special Burrito (loaded, satisfying, and worth every bite), the chips and salsa (fresh and snackable to the point of dangerous), and the rice and beans, which were the perfect sidekick to everything else on the table. There wasn't a single miss in the entire lineup. Not one. The service was fast, warm, and consistent across every visit -- no small feat for a busy truck that clearly has a loyal following for good reason. You feel like a regular even on your first visit. And the value? In a city where a mediocre sit-down meal will drain your wallet, Beans & Limes gives you an incredible, generous spread at prices that feel almost unfair to them. If you're visiting LA, put this on your list before you even book your hotel. If you live here and haven't been -- fix that immediately. This isn't just a great taco truck. It's the kind of meal you talk about long after you've flown home. read more

I can't say enough great things about this taco truck! The ingredients are always fresh, and the quality of the meat is outstanding, perfectly seasoned, tender, and flavorful. Whether you're a fan of al pastor, carne asada, or chicken, you can taste the care and expertise that goes into every bite. What really sets this place apart, though, is the customer service. The staff is incredibly friendly, attentive, and efficient. Even during busy times, they manage to keep the line moving while still greeting every customer with a smile. They are reasonably priced, and the portions are generous. You can tell they take pride in what they do, and it shows in both the food and the overall experience. If you're looking for a taco truck that hits all the marks of freshness, quality, and great service then this is the spot to visit. Highly recommend! read more
