    Enchiladas
    Mike s.

    I used to come here frequently for their 3 enchilada plate when I lived down the street. Price was great, enchiladas were flavorful and the sweet young girl behind the counter was always nice. It's been a few years since I've been here and something has definitely changed for the worse. Rice was good but the beans were like water and the enchiladas have NO flavor now. When my plate arrived I immediately noticed the enchilada sauce wasn't the deep red like before, instead the sauce is bright orange. Very disappointed to leave this review because i used to love this place. Not sure if I'll be back :(.

    I used to love coming here, the food was so good and the service was excellent. The last few times I've been here I noticed a decline in the food. I don't mind paying $45 for 2 plates with tip if the food is good. However, I can't say I'll be returning. As always the service is excellent and the cashier no matter who it is was always friendly.

    I have to see this place is definitely a great spot to stop in and get some great fresh food. I had the quesadilla with the Carnitas quesadilla and let me tell you. You're definitely gonna take that one home so get a box because it's gonna fill you up get the rice and beans grab a nice seat. There are a lot of things to try here. The bathrooms are easy to get to if you need one and the salsa bar will be ready to be warmed up lol!

    i have driven by this place maybe a hundred times. Taco tuesday why not give it a try. It is actually a big restaurant i was expecting this whole in the wall. NOT at All. The decor is so cute and its not too loud. They have a large menu, plenty of choices. We ordered Asada Burrito, Asada Fries, and some Tacos. Staff was friendly and welcoming. They have a few salsas to choose from and that made me happy. My favorite was the green sauce. Definitely an authentic Mexican Restaurant do not let the name fool you (:

    Been here a couple of time, food is delicious. Portions are big. Place is clean and staff are nice. Tried their tacos, soft and crunchy, they were good but not the best. I should say they're average. Their carne asada plate could use a little salt as the ranchero beef is on the bland side. But the sauces are very good and that elevates their food. Burittos are the usual buritto that you get anywhere. Pricewise very good. Not expensive. Just the right price for a mexican food.

    3 time here and well it was basically out of pure convenience. Service remains the same and consistently well. It always seems to have only about 3 staff members. This time we only had tacos. Portions on my carnitas tacos were not consistent. You can see in the pictures some lack protein. Granted each tacos is about $3 and some change. Anyhow, carnitas is my favorite choice. Their salsas are the same. I feel they can improve their taste! Restaurant is clean and well. Plenty of parking when it's not busy during the day.

    We love Rod's Tacos, which is a family run business. Delicious Mexican food at reasonable prices. The restaurant has plenty of seating and is cutely decorated. The service is always friendly and fast.

The margarita was spot on it got the job done if you know what I mean it wasn't too sweet which I like! I would recommend checking this place out

    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.

I like it charred a little. I could have eaten a tub of their rice. So light, fluffy and flavorful. I'm not a bean person but even the beans were hitting the spot. So much I would order them again. Usually I try the beans once and that's it. I'm pretty sure the tortillas were homemade. I loved that they were thick enough to hold everything but soft enough to eat. Salsa was a little too spicy for my liking. Everything was seasoned well. Everyone was very nice! But I definitely had to use my high school Spanish. Between my Spanglish and her English it was no problem. It's a very small hole in the wall. Cases of beer were stacked against the wall. There were only about 5-6 two top tables. Not good for a crowd but definitely great food. I think there was one unisex bathroom. I didn't go in. Looking at the pictures online I didn't know there was an outdoor patio. Looks nice in the pictures. I'm not sure about a parking lot. We parked on the street on Parthenia which was a little scary because drivers don't care about people getting out of the car.

The staff was friendly, welcoming, and very attentive, which made the experience a good start right away. I ordered the two-meat burrito, which normally comes filled with rice, beans, and your choice of meats. I asked for no beans and they had no problem accommodating that. The burrito came out in just a few minutes, which made sense once I saw the size. At around $17, it was definitely on the smaller side for the price. That said, the fresh salsa bar is a big highlight. I loaded up on the pico de gallo, which was finely diced, well seasoned, and really fresh. The green salsa was also excellent--nice heat with a smoky flavor that stood out. On its own, the burrito was good but not worth the price. Once I added the pico and green salsa, it was much better and left me craving more. Unfortunately, I'm giving this a 3-star rating due to the lack of value, but that's not to take away from the great taste and excellent service.

Then the server comes back with an attitude and places it on the table, not even a word said. I even thanked her multiple times and nothing was said, no "you're welcome" or anything. She never even checked up on us or asked if we needed anything else. If you can't handle being a server why even work as one? Simple as that. This is what ruins a restaurant's reputation and makes people not want to go back. No tip was deserved.
