Finally gave Catrina's a shot and I was pleasantly surprised. Admittedly I had low expectations…read morebecause the restaurant seems a little out of place next to a grocery store in a location with a giant parking lot I always assumed they might not be good because it never seemed busy. I was wrong, their steak and birria tacos were great. My buddy said his fajitas were some of the best he's had. For comparison I'd say Catrina's quality is comparable with Salsa & Beer without the 2 hour wait to be seated. I'll definitely be back.

Come here for fajitas! They were good. We also ordered flautas for the kids- these were not great…read more The chicken inside was tasty but they put a meh sauce on top making the flautas soggy. The whole point of flautas is that they should be crunchy!!! They also had taquitos on the menu- these are made with corn tortilla instead of flour like the flautas. Husband ordered a virgin pina colada $8 but he did not like it as it was not sweet enough. The service was ok- had to get my own to go container as the waitress was nowhere to be found. Ambiance is colorful but could use more lighting. Ceiling fans were dusty and need cleaning.

The person…read moretaking my order was nice but they forgot my drink, else was Mid/Meh. * there's no prices listed anywhere, no menus, not on the board I have never seen that in my life. * you will be waiting for your food. I asked for chips and salsa. They come in a bag with maybe 10 to 15 near burnt chips who knows when they were made, and the salsa was laughable about a quarter inch of the cup filled. * the salsas are hidden behind the ordering desk with sauces that must have three squirts in each container, never seen that again at a Mexican place. * the condiment station has no cups, you have to put it in a plastic bag even when eating in. * I had a burrito and it was mostly rice, unevenly proportioned and no flavor. * overall I was unimpressed with the cheap out on certain things with the prices they charge. I personally would never go back again, but the soup looked good at another table,perhaps it's worth a try.

I had high expectations for Big Burrito Taqueria, especially given their 4-star rating and the…read morebustling crowd that greeted me upon entering. I chose the Vegetable Burrito, which was indeed large, just as they promised, but unfortunately, it fell short on flavor. Maybe their real expertise lies in their meat burritos, and I just missed out by sticking with beans and vegetables. Still, I was left feeling a bit disappointed.

I will be back again and have referred this place to my coworkers and now we order together. Only gave 4 stars because I pick up and go.. the staff is efficient and kind and that matters to me

Met some friends who live in the area and highly recommended this place. We were soo satisfied with…read moretheir friendly service and amazing food! We started with a round of Ahi Tuna Toatadas and I had to have a second order! The tostadas are completely covered with the most deliciously marinated Ahi Tuna and are completely mouth watering! We also started with their Watermelon Hibiscus Margarita and regular Margaritas. Perfect for sitting on the pet friendly patio. We also tried their Oaxacan Old Fashioned that came smoked, always a treat. We had their Chopped Salad with Salmon, the most amazing Shrimp Fajitas, Suizias Chicken Enchiladas and their Carne Asada Plate. ALL were top notch and cooked/seasoned to perfection!

First time here, it's was recommended by several people. Jesus our waiter was really nice, very…read moreattentive. Outdoor patio, and plenty of parking. The margarita was okay. I would stick with either just Chile mango margarita or Chile pineapple margarita, not both flavors together, you couldn't taste any of the flavor. The patio door and the front door should be closed or put some kind of air condition fan because there was a lot of flies flying around. Doesn't queso fundido comes with chorizo? I was charge extra for chorizo. It was good. The enchiladas were tasty but they added too much sauce and cheese on top. My son loved the rib bye steak tacos. The carne asada with a chimichuri sauce on top was delicious. I didn't want rice and beans so i ask for a side salad. Was charge extra for the salad but it was good. It was pricey

Would rate 4.5, bumped to 5 bc of service…read more Beautiful and aesthetically pleasing restaurant with even better service and palette of food. Came in last night to celebrate a friend's birthday (they have happy hour all day Mon-Wed) and was pleasantly surprised. My friends started off ordering the HH guava margaritas, which they enjoyed. I ordered the coconut margarita (not on HH) a must !!!! Not overwhelmingly sweet and tasty! We ordered and rated the following dishes: Guacamole: 9/10 HH tinga Nachos: 7.5/10 (flavor was there but most chips were burnt) HH Taquitos papas: 9/10 great flavor and sauce HH steak tacos: 7.5/10 the corn and portion of meat to the taco was very good. The steak a little well done for my liking. Enchiladas verde: 9/10 great portion honestly enough for two to share. Rice and beans were okay. Beans a bit salty and rice was a bit bland. Would definitely come back for the apps and drinks! They also have brunch which looks like fun.

When we got there, there was a DJ playing 80s/90s throwbacks. It was good music and vibes, but it was quite loud, we could barely hear ourselves speak. Luckily he wasn't there too long, as brunch-time was over. We ordered Mango margaritas, chips & salsa, birria tacos, tinga taquitos, elote, and chicken enchiladas with green sauce. Every single thing was delicious. I was highly impressed. This place will definitely be in the rotation. If I didn't live so far away, I would go for happy hour.

Solid Mexican eatery in a very nondescript building in Northridge, Tierra Caliente brings a lot of…read morefire with some tasty food and beverages. Don't let the exterior of the building deter you from checking out this hidden gem. Once you enter, you are greeted by an incredibly friendly staff and some authentic Mexican decor. The menu is stacked with a lot of traditional staples. The food overall is simply tasty and the portion sizes are large. Prices are very reasonable for the amount and quality of food and drink. A special note is the chile relleno, any burrito, and the molcajete, which is filled with incredible chicken, steak, shrimp, cactus, cheese, and wonderfully-spiced vegetables that is perfect to share. The spices and flavor are on point and delicious. Fun atmosphere is perfect for couples and families, and a bar with a big screen TV has the latest live sporting events for those patrons. Plenty of parking in a retail lot and the restrooms are clean and well-stocked. Tierra Caliente is bringing the very best of Mexican cuisine in the area and Northridge is at the epicenter of this fire. Check them out!

Our servers were attentive without being pushy, making the entire dining experience effortless. As for the food? Outstanding. Every single bite was bursting with bright, vibrant flavors that remind me why I love the Valley's food scene so much. As a chile relleno connoisseur I'm glad they didn't ruin my favor didn't dish. We will definitely be back.

Came in during the week for a late lunch for some tacos…read more Parking is available on both sides of the restaurant and also street parking. Walked in and greeted.

Local place that you'll miss if you're driving by too quickly. Same owners as Melody's close by…read more Parking is a bit challenging as their lot is shared with an auto mechanic shop. I found the wait staff to be a bit short-tempered and absent-minded. The molé was decent, sweet, with a little smokiness. The plate was big enough to share or take leftovers home. Comes with a basket of chips and salsa you get yourself at a salsa bar. Ordering is at the counter, then you take a number to your table. Soft drinks are self serve. They don't have Coke Zero, only Diet Coke. The flan was pretty good. They ask if you want it topped with a caramel sauce and/or whipped cream. Again, I had to go to the counter and ask for it (even though I had paid for it). In fact, I had to go back to the counter several times. My drink cup was forgotten. My flan was as forgotten. Since no one came by to check on our party of five- I had to go to the counter to get to-go boxes and bags. It's close by to work, so I might come by another time. Or I might just go to Melody's because their staff seems to be nicer...

It does make a bit of a mess with the machaca juices but the aluminum wrap should hold it pretty well. The salsa are pretty decent and there was tortilla chips that came along with the burrito. The staff was very friendly and helpful with the order and condiments section. The service was very quick and the overall vibe was a bit of a hole in the wall chill eating place.

He was super sweet. Since they were closing, it was only to go order that that time which we were totally fine with. We got two crunchy tacos both beef, one shredded, one steak/cubed. They came with chips and extra bag of chips on the side as well. They have a salsa bar so I took two of the spiciest salsas to go. I wish I would've taken the other salsa just to taste them as well, but we will come back for sure! We drove home, which is about a little over five minutes away. The tacos were yummy! I liked them both. I asked my husband which one he liked better and he liked them both but he would pick the shredded beef. I honestly thought they were both delicious. I will get them both again. If I had to pick one, maybe the cubed/steak. Really friendly staff and I appreciate that. Looking forward to coming back and trying more.
