    Mr.Tako....Granada Hills.
    Ticha B.

    Somewhat tasty tacos: carne asada/al pastor. We had Mr. Tako at the Granada Hills Friday Food Truck meet. I thought the tacos weren't too shabby ($2 a pop). I did think the tacos lacked a flavorful taco taste though! The carne asada was a bit dry and needed more taste, the al pastor was super greasy. BUT would I eat their tacos again? Sure would. Just average, but enough to eat their tacos again!

    Have you ever seen a nicer presentation from a food truck? No, no you have not.

    Man do I love this place!! One of the best food trucks in the valley! If you ever find yourself in Van Nuys or coming off the 405 late, do yourself a favor and stop on by Mr. Tako for some great food! All of their meat is marinated to fall off the bone deliciousness and they make everything by hand including their salsas. A major plus is that the owners are so genuinely nice, I've had multiple conversations with them and each time I leave happy, full and fat.

    4 taco plate with carne asada, cabeza, buche, and carnita tacos. Just $6!

    My first visit to Mr. Tako was last night, September 24th, after wrapping up a production for a web series in Van Nuys; it won't be my last visit though, for sure! Getting the plates makes your tacos come out to $1.50, and with the crafting and portion size that is put into these tasty treats it's a steal of a deal for the best tacos I've had in some time! Unfortunately on Wednesday night they don't have the full menu so I wasn't able to try their lengua, but with their amazing and timely service, great taste, and fun conversation, Mr. Tako assured I'll be back to tackle some more tacos real soon.

    Best taco catering in town. They use fresh ingredients and high quality meats. I got catering for a party and Enrique showed up early to prep and set everything up. My guests were very impressed with the tidy and organized set up, as well as by the delicious varieties of tacos that Enrique made for us. We had carne asada, pollo asado, carnitas, and tripe. The tripe was insanely good. You could tell he's been doing this for a while.

    My friends and I ordered uber eats from Beans and Limes late at night and I was in the mood for…read moretacos so I was v happy to see carne asada tacos on the menu! Since we ordered online, I cannot comment on their parking, seating, or service. Carne asada tacos 1.5/5, this was sadly a complete miss :( the tacos themselves had minimal flavoring and tasted bland throughout. They came with some green salsa which was fine but also with lemons?? as opposed to limes? I've seen other reviews mention that sometimes the quality from this place goes down and my friends and I picked this spot based on their previous positive experiences so it's possible I could have ordered at a bad night

    We were in the area for a quick errand and thought I'd stop by for something to eat. We saw the…read morefood truck on the way and thought I'd look it up on Yelp. Really good reviews from a food truck?! There's no way. Curiosity got the best of me. We got 2 guacamole tacos (one chicken, one asada), one cheese taco (asada), and one regular large taco (chicken), with an order of esquite, and 2 Cokes. Order was placed with the DoorDash app (even though I was parked right next door) and waited less than 30 minutes for my order to be ready. I highly recommend the large hand-pressed guacamole tacos with asada. AMAZING. I would drive out here (about one hour) for these tacos, again. The esquites was good. More lime than I'm used to, but not bad actually. I liked it. Also, the green salsa? REALLY good. Add it to your taco! I get the hype. I look forward to coming back here and trying out other menu items.

    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.
