The food was really good, especially the homemade tortillas. They don't have a big variety but the food we got was really good. It was walking distance from our hotel so it was also quite convenient. read more

AMAZING food and super friendly service. Everything seems to be made fresh to order (we were watching them make the tortillas) but the food came out really quickly. The menu is somewhat limited but the food they have is soooooooooo good! read more

Hija de Sánchez - Mexican Near Me - Copenhagen, 84

Best street I have had outside of So Cal and Baja. Fresh ingrediants and terrific corn tortiallas.

The main reason why I wanted to eat here is because the owner used to work as NOMA's pastry chef. The secondary reason is because of "Somebody Feed Phil." The taqueria is conveniently located at Torvehallerne food market. This was my first meal in Copenhagen and I was really hungry. I tried all three of the tacos they had that day- potatoes, carnitas, and barbacoa. Of the three, I liked the potatoes one the most. I didn't like the thick tortilla that were used. In the end, I was still hungry and unsatisfied. I was also disappointed they didn't have paletas at this location. I'm glad I got the chance to try them though. read more

Hija de Sánchez - Two tacos - Mexican Near Me - Copenhagen, 84

Tacos in Copenhagen? You bet I did. Turns out, Hija de Sánchez was the perfect stop on my way to my next destinations from the Nørreport train station. I had seen this place on the Dave Chang Netflix show, Ugly Delicious, so I was pretty excited to check it out. I liked the tacos I tried save for the plain cheese one. Usually cheesy tacos are good from my experience but this one was bland and dry. The others were awesome though, and came with a variety of colorful, tasty toppings and salsas. Asada and onions were juicy and filling. At 5 USD a pop, I was glad for it. As I ate my tacos and sipped my beer at a standing table on the street, I noticed others taking their beers to go and wondered if I should do the same. It took me until I passed a group of dudes picnicking in the botanical garden, an hour later, that offered me a beer to realize that duh, it's legal to walk around with beer here. Slow learner, this one. Great city, Copenhagen. The food comes out in about 10 minutes and the lines go by quickly. There is a decent amount of picnic tables for sitting and eating, and other tables in the courtyard behind Hija (where a beautiful outdoor market was in effect on my visit) can be used as well. I was perfectly happy standing and eating. I would definitely stop by here again if I'm ever in this city again! Just no cheese taco. read more

As someone who lives in Los Angeles, I can say that these tacos were delicious!! The tortillas are handmade and so tasty. The toppings are also a great addition to the overall flavor. Got the trio of all the meat options and its a great way to try them all! read more

Hija de Sánchez was recommended to me by a local as the "best Tacos across the pond," and as someone who has been to Mexico, California, and Texas, these Tacos definitely measures up against the best. Their vegan taco with kale was so filling you would've needed only two versus the three I had ordered. The owner is a former employee of the ever famous Noma, so you know this place holds up to its reputation. read more

I watched this place on Ugly Delicious and read about it in my Norwegian airline magazine and it solidified the fact that I should come, which Hija's was the first place I went to after landing. Since I wanted to try everything, I got the 3 tacos special- whole fried egg, cheese and barbacoa. While everything was delicious, I would still highly recommend pouring over the salsa they have. I think those are the real MVPs! I do agree with the other yelps that the tortillas were super fragile and broke right when I folded them. In addition, they were quite pricey, especially with a Jarrito. Unfortunately, I was only satisfied and not too full since the tacos were small, so it left me wanting more. read more

Ive heard so much about this place, it was one of the places I needed to try while in Copenhagen. I got the taco combo. Fillings were good, tortillas were to dry and thick. If there was salsa I couldn't taste it. The esquite was surprising well flavored and tasted good, still needed more spice though there was non. Hibiscus tea was unflavored, and I didn't care for it. The workers were very friendly and helpful. A little difficult to find the location, maybe a bigger sign or something outside read more

Very disappointing. I wanted to try a popular local place during our trip and, after learning about the origin and pedigree of the founder, was very excited. It's located outside along the southwestern end of Torvehallerne on Vendersgade and has an animated ambience. The servers, though nice, were unable to answer simple questions like what went into the taco/sauces in addition to the main ingredient. We decided to get the combo plate for 100 kr to try all the tacos that were being made that day (queso, huevo, and barbacoa). I gave my name and picked up the food soon after. Queso Fresco (with guacachile, pickled red onion, an avocado wedge, and cilantro) - As soon as I gently picked it up, the masa tortilla broke mid-fold. The queso and avocado tasted fine, but it was overwhelmed by the spice, which didn't meld with the other flavors of the taco. Huevo Ranchero (with a soft fried sunny side-up egg, casera salsa, cracklings, white onion, and cilantro) - Ok. This was the messiest taco to eat since after the yolk burst, there wasn't any other ingredient to semi-hold in the liquid and it dribbled down. Barbacoa (with beer-braised beef, white onion, and cilantro) - The best of the three, solely since it was decidedly the easiest to eat. The meat was fresh, but bland. Sorry Hija, there's better food to be had, especially if you're wandering about Torvehallerne. read more

You go to Torvehallerne. You want to treat you and your friends. Everybody is up for some fancy - like Italian parma ham and wines. Trust me. You'll never get this far. Especially if the wind is blowing in the right direction. The wind carries deliciousness from an awesome place. You and your friends didn't even know that something could smell sooo lovely. Again, trust me. You'll want it when you smell it. Taco. Tacos. Oh yea, pluralis, baby. Order three homemade tacos from Sanchez. Get dirty with some of the chili sauces and clean your mouth with some spicy michelada beer. Euuwuuhh! I'm guessing your not thinking about that fancy parma anymore. You're in for the long haul at Torvehallerne - for the taco.. The tacos. Pluralis. If your friends disagree. Find some new friends. Fact: the smell really does lure you in ;-) read more

Copenhagen is not known for Tacos. Rosio Sanchéz (a fellow Chicago native) is looking to change that. Hija de Sánchez is a great start that many locals I spoke to are excited about. When traveling, I don't normally like getting things I can get in abundance back home, but learning she's a Chicagoan and a Noma alum, i had to check this place out. Positives are the really nice staff, the location within the Torvehallerne market, having Jarritos, and the quality ingredients. As many have mentioned, the price can be a little high for tacos, but when you consider the positives and the current scarcity of taco availability in Copenhagen, I get it. I tried the fish skin taco and it was good, but relatively small and not very filling. Plus I've had much more flavorful homemade tortillas and this one was a bit dry. Though, it looks like they change as some photos show blue corn tortillas. I was not able to try their other creations this trip, but I would return. Kuddos to Rosio and Co for their ambition and for adding another element of diversity to the already terrific Copenhagen food scene. read more

Well. The universe has finally answered my prayers. I'm pretty sure Hija de Sánchez has the most authentic tacos in Copenhagen. And maybe also outside of Mexico, but I'm not really prepared to start that argument and follow it up with any sort of substantial proof. The price is a bit steep for tacos, not gonna lie. But I got the 3 for 100kr special and all three were absolutely divine in their own special way (complete with the part where bits and pieces can't be contained by the perfect taco 'shell' - it's soft, unlike the hard stale tacos Danes thought were the Real Deal - and fall out, to be retrieved, and savored, later), so I don't exactly regret spending the money. They get pretty regular visits from Noma chefs to guest dress tacos also, so this is kind of like the best matchmaking foodgasm that could possibly exist in my world. read more

Hija de Sánchez - Because you don't need an excuse for tacos. - Mexican Near Me - Copenhagen, 84

Just like great pizza starts with a great crust, great tacos start with great tortillas. Hija de Sánchez's tortillas are fantastic. They are rocking una maquina tortilladora de Lenin and using Oaxacan corn which basically means every other taquería in town is bringing a knife to the "authenticity" gun fight. The menu changes daily but at least one of the taco standards afficionados will recognize, carnitas, lengua, or pastor is ususally available. But it is their tacos that take you out of the comfort zone, hinting at the real diversity of Mexico's flavors that make Hija de Sánchez great. Huevo and chicharrón. Quesillo (made from local organic milk) and chapulines--grasshoppers and cheese! Plus a CPH-ified beer cocktail, the Mikkelada and Mexican coke. read more

The dearth of awesome Mexican in Copenhagen has ended. Rosio Sanchez formerly of Noma has with the support of said former employer has moved out to provide her Mexican goodness. Mole, Carnitas and Crispy fish skin tacos with handmade tortillas are excellent. Horchata and boozy paletas also make for great taco partners. If Torvehallerne wasnt awesome already, it's even better now.... read more

Came on cinco de mayo and was not disappointed. My friends and I were not sure how tacos in Denmark would be but everything we ate was amazing! Hija de Sanchez has probably one of the best al pastor tacos I have ever had. The meat was juicy and spicy and the pineapple salsa really cooled your mouth down. The bean tostada was the star of the show though. It was crunchy and fresh and so tasty! My friends and I sat outside and enjoyed every bite. They also had tecate cans for a good price to go along with the tacos. The tables are under heat lamps too in case you get cold and there was no line at lunch time when we arrived. Don't come here if you don't want to sit outside though as it is just a stand in Torvehallerne market. There is a storefront of vesterbro as well. read more

For any foodie visiting Copenhagen, attempting to get into Noma is probably the first thing on their checklist. Although we weren't able to get a seat, checking out Hija de Sanchez was as close as we could get - and boy, was it worth it. You may ask yourself, "What could be so special about a taco stand?", but let me assure you, this is no ordinary taco stand. It's already special because its location in the Torvehallerne food hall is any foodie's dream (so many delicious food stalls!!), but having Noma's ex-pastry chef at the helm means tacos of the highest pedigree. I loved watching her and her team prep - they were smiling and laughing the whole time. You could tell they really loved their jobs. We were lucky to visit on a day with guest chef Matt Orlando, who is also ex-Noma (and current head chef of Amass, another highly recommended restaurant in Copenhagen), who served up the best fish taco I've ever had. The fish was perfectly fried, and despite a somewhat runny salsa, the tortilla didn't break! The tortilla is also great for another reason - it's made totally in-house, and they even sell the masa for you to take home. The price was a tad high (75kr for 2 tacos), but these tacos are WORTH IT. Overall a great experience - definitely worth a visit if you are at Torvehallerne. It's situated outside and in between the two food halls. Get there early to avoid the line that inevitably forms once they open! read more

Was excited to check out hija de sanchez as I found out that the owner was the former pastry chef of NOMA. I thought the tacos were just okay. They were kinda bland to me. I got the 3 taco special and I believe their taco menu changes. When I went it was barbacoa, fried egg, and cheese. The cost was 100DKK. I also got a cheese quesadilla for my kid and she ate some. This was also a bit bland. The tortillas are a bit fragile but they were good. The salsa that came with the quesadilla was excellent though. I didn't see any dessert on the menu, but maybe I should have asked since I see ice pops on the website. Since Rosio Sanchez is a pastry chef, I think her desserts would be amazing. read more

Solid (but expensive) taco stand. We stopped by on an afternoon and had the breakfast tacos, which included an avocado taco, egg taco, and cheese quesadilla. The tortilla soft shells were really soft and moist, and the sauce that accompanied the ingredients had a nice kick. It was unfortunate that on the Sunday we went, this was the only item they had on the menu, and it's a bit pricey. I think for non-Scandinavian food in the area, it would be hard for you to go wrong by eating the food here and the high quality ingredients. read more

Best tortillas in Copenhagen (pretty sure the whole of Denmark). On the menu is 3 different fillings. - Huevo Ranchero; fried egg, pork crackling, salsa, onion, and cilantro - Carnitas; slow cooked pork belly, onion, cilantro, and pasilla salsa - Melted cheese with avocado, cilantro, onion, and salsa 3 tortillas for DKK 100,- or if you'd rather make your own filling, you can also buy freshly made tortillas to bring home with you. I tried 2 carnitas (pork belly) and 1 melted cheese. All of them is toppen with a bit of chili salsa, but if you need more just ask. The meat was nice and tender, with a citrus twist that made the tortillas nice and fresh. The melted cheese w/ avocado (vegan) was good, but I preferable meat or fish on my tortilla. 2x thumbs up from me. At last I've found a place to get homemade, tasty tortillas. read more

Best tacos I have tried in Copenhagen! So excited to see more places pop up in Copenhagen that serve Mexican food. When I saw Hija de Sánchez start popping up everywhere on my Instagram feed, I have to admit I was probably a little too excited. Having lived previously in California I really miss having access to so much Mexican food, especially tacos so my expectations for this place were very high and man did they not disappoint! I ordered their 3 taco combo which for this specific day were lengua, huevos rancheros, fresh cheese & avocado. Each were PHENOMENAL! I have nothing negative to say about any of them. They were all way too delicious, and now I already crave more. I did put some of their salsa from the bar onto my tacos without tasting it first and AHHH so spicy! So be careful. I have a pretty high tolerance to spice, but man it was spicy, at least the day I ate there. No sign warned me of it being spicy, so put it on your taco at your own risk :P read more

Alright, so I checked out of the Absalon Hotel and my AirBNB just happens to be closer to this location than the one I went to yesterday, so you know what that means, right? Time for tacos: round 2! I saw a familiar face over that kiosk, which is located in a crowded marketplace but is actually outside. Their tacos of the day were Carnitas, Cod Skin, and Queso Fresco. I had already sampled the queso fresco at the previous location, so I decided on 2 carnitas and 1 codskin. I was not disappointed! They add on a ton of carnitas - it's extremely hearty. The fish cod skin was crispy and flavorful and I added some of their homemade hot sauce and it was killer! This time out I decided to add a side of quesadillas and a hot chocolate, which is essentially a "Chocolate Mexicano." It was instant bliss. Please keep in mind that this location is outdoors and it was cold and windy. They don't light the eating areas but I think that's more to do with whoever owns the actual site and not the vendor. The #2 location I went to yesterday is an actual storefront with indoor/outdoor seating. Don't let there being limited visibility deter you. There was lots of people grubbing and walking about. I'm also aware that I won't find anything that comes close to authentic tacos like the ones in L.A. but this is the next best thing. There are a few other spots around that have tacos and Mexican food but they are of the Tex-Mex variety. I'm not in the mood for that. I'm sure I will visit these locations again before I leave for L.A. #tacos4life read more

Hija de Sánchez - 2 de carnitas, 1 codskin. - Mexican Near Me - Copenhagen, 84

Really amazing tacos. Barbacoa (braised beef with chives and Mexican spices) The barbacoa was really tender and delicious. It had a little spice, but nothing serious. Really solid, but a little cold. Fried egg (sunny side egg with chunky tomato salsa) The egg was perfectly cooked and tasted really delicious. The tortilla was super soft and fell apart a bit in your hands. The salsa was also really good. Black bean (black beans, lettuce, onions, avocado, jalapeño, salsa, chili, and oil) This was really terrific. There was sour cream drizzled over the black beans and it added a really nice flavor/coolness. The lettuce was in a very light vinaigrette that made it very refreshing and cool. Really delicious. Combo of the day all three for 100 kr read more

I've been to Hija de Sanchez's Torvehallerne location twice now - once to eat there and once to grab takeaway tortillas. Great visits so far! They import all of their ingredients from Mexico and the tortillas are made right in front of you. The tacos options rotate but they always have one vegetarian option. The tortillas are also GF as are most (and sometimes all) of the toppings. I ordered three tacos (3 stk for 100kr) that came with pork and they were great, but I just wished there were more. I think 4 tacos is a better portion considering how small they are. Otherwise getting some chips and salsa/guacamole would be a good addition to the 3 taco meal. During my first visit I learned they also sell many of their menu items for takeaway. The second time I came back I just bought tortillas to take home for our homemade taco night. I bought 12 homemade tortillas for 50kr, which I think is a steal for Copenhagen. Not to mention they are made right in front of you and were still warm when I got home. They use fresh corn in the dough and you can see specks of it in the tortillas, so great! The woman who sold them to me told me they also sell portions of the tortilla dough if you want to make the tortillas at home yourself. You can buy their cheese and some other menu items as well. They don't list this on their website/social media though so it's just something you have to know I guess. Not sure of the prices for the other items, but will update the post once I learn them. Great place for tacos + takeaway items! read more

Waaaayyyy overpriced for what it is. We had two taco specials (3 tacos - whole fried egg, cheese and barbacoa), quesadilla and chips and salsa with two beers and spent $70 (U.S.). Crazy. And it's nothing special outside of handmade tortillas. Come one, you put a whole fried egg with some cilantro and salsa or some cheese crumbles and think you can charge that much for tacos? This is my second time here (visiting from California) and I was completely underwhelmed this time. The first time, the menu had more options and the dishes were more flavorful. On top of it the staff has no personality and was borderline rude when I walked up to the wrong side to order. Look for other options that are worth your money. read more

These tacos have been lauded as the best tacos outside of Mexico. While I can't really defend that statement since I am not aware of how Mexican tacos taste, I can say that these are the best tacos I've had. All the flavors are exciting and delicious.

These delicious tacos are located in a kiosk just outside the Torvehallerne and while they are delicious, they are the most expensive tacos I've had, but not by too much. Americans like myself are used to the phenomenon of "Taco Tuesday" where we can get average tacos for around 50 cents to 1 dollar each, and even excellent tacos from locals of Mexico won't run more than $2 USD each. But in Europe tacos are "exotic foreign food" and even when you get a great "deal" like the "combo of the day" here, in which you get 3 tacos for 100kr, that's still more than $5 USD per taco. Were they $5 tacos? No. Were they quite good for being not far from the Arctic Circle, which is nowhere near Mexico? Yes. So if you feel that tug towards a taco and are close by, give in. read more

This could have been 4, or even 5, stars if they had more options. Every day they choose three tacos from their menu to offer, so it is very limited. The tacos were small and mediocre tasting, but not anything special. We also got the salsa and chips, which were also average. In all - if you're looking for a quick food truck taco, this is a good bet. If you're looking for amazing tacos in Copenhagen (as is the reputation), keep looking. read more

This place is the real deal. Forget the fact that the woman who runs this place used to work at noma; you can watch her work in this stall and see that she pays close attention to every aspect of the meal from rolling out and grilling tortillas to plating the tacos. It is easy to see that Rosio cares deeply for this food and puts her heart into it. Even though there is always a line and everybody in there is busy, she is always smiling and ready to chat with someone while working hard. As for the food, so far I have tried the chicken mole, fried cod skin, carnitas, and avocado cheese tacos and they have all been flawless. My favourite is probably carnitas but I am happy to taste whatever comes out of this kitchen. They also have Cholula, Tapatio, and Valentina hot sauces at your disposal, as well as some nice pickles. Don't forget to grab plenty of napkins! P.S. You can buy corn tortillas here! read more

Believe the hype. Really. Even before Hija de Sánchez opened in Torvehallerne, it was already inundated with hype. Being the former pastry chef to one of the most famous restaurants in the world, Noma, will do that. I planned on being very critical due to all of the attention but Hija de Sánchez definitely lives up to the high expectations. I tried the 3 tacos they had for the day. The avocado cheese, cod skin chicharon, and the carnitas. All three were bursting with flavor but the carnitas was amazing. I absolutely love carnitas, I usually get it whenever I see it on the menu at any Mexican place but Rosio's were out of this world, truly. Took me directly back to some of the best carnitas I've had in Southern California, but these even trumped those! How can you not love Oaxacan corn tortillas made fresh on the SPOT and they even had my all time favorite hot sauce, Tapatío, to top off your tacos with some extra spiciness. Just go. Wait in the long line and eat your heart out. read more

The ambience and people here are great and welcoming. However, the food was just ok for me. I'm from Texas and I have lived in Southern California so I wasn't expecting to be blown away. Admittedly I do eat a vegetarian diet on most days so my options were limited. I had the quesadilla and rice & beans which were just ok at best. My friend had carnitas tacos I believe which she enjoyed. We agreed that we've had better but I'm glad I got to try it out. The margaritas were delicious though! read more

Finally, a taco stand in Torvehallen. Copenhagen, you're almost completing your transformation! I wouldn't have dreamt about this when I moved here in 2006 where the restaurants were mostly kebabs and pizzeria managed by people other than real Italians and where supermarkets closed at 6pm and the weekends. I love Hija de Sanchez' taco. It's a different kind from the ones Yuca Taco sells. Posh, perhaps? Whatever, it's good. The carnitas ones are divine while the others are also amazing. It's definitely worth the queue (to be fair if it was Mina K who was queueing, while I was just waiting for the food :P) but it was worth it. Now Torvehallen excites me even more - the perfect hangout place for foodies in Copenhagen read more

Hija de Sanchez is a Mexican-fusion taquería. They only serve three different tacos, changing every day. Some of the tacos are very close to traditional Mexican tacos like the taco with carnitas. However, the fusion comes in when you consider the taco with fried cod skin - something I've never seen before. The cod skin taco was interesting, but not great. I do prefer the more traditional tacos from Yuca Taco, but appreciate the effort to try and create something new and different. 100 kr. for three tacos is overpriced, but not different from the rest of the tacos spots in Copenhagen. read more

This place is decent, but coming from Southern California I'm probably a little harsher since I don't think this would live up to a 4 rating back home. They're very simple meat was tasty, but the tortilla was thick and cold. The beef and pork came on soft shells and the bean veggie one came on a hard shell. The chips for the chips n salsa were kinda overcooked. read more

If you're ever at Toverhallerne, you cannot miss this! I have been there enough times to try most of their tacos, as they serve 3 kinds a day, and my favorite so far are the pastor (pork) and carnitas (pork belly).

Considering I heard about Hija in Texas, I had to go on my next trip to Copenhagen. So I did. I can fairly say this was the first time I had ever eaten tacos on a picnic table that was iced over. But that's just Denmark for you. Oh, and the Al Pastor, better than any I've ever had... in Denmark, America, or Mexico. read more

Are you kidding me? I had to laugh when I saw the tiny amount of actual food on the 3 tacos I ordered. 100 DKK? I don't mind paying for good food, but this is as unreasonable as it gets. I was surprised by the dry tortilla, but even more surprised by the bland filling it contained. Although maybe I never got a chance to taste it properly as the 10 grams of meat seemed to evaporate in open space before my brain had a chance to register what was happening in my mouth. Seriously, the tortilla is big, why not fill it up some more? To make things somewhat positive, being a fan of anything crispy, I did enjoy the fish skin taco. I would have preferred it served on the side, though, as a snack and not in a tortilla, since things get a little too dry otherwise. My recommendation is to back away five steps from this truck and get juicy, flavorful tacos from Yuca Taco or walk all the way to Barburrito for best tacos in town. read more
