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 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!

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

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.

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...

The venue itself has a warm, lively, & welcoming character, making it a wonderful place to relax, enjoy a meal, and spend time with friends or family. The atmosphere reflects the restaurant's genuine pride in its food and hospitality. As always I started with their chips & salsa. The chips are served warm accompanied by a decent flavorful salsa, (secret note: if you like a real hot salsa ask for the Habanero salsa) The Margaritas are delicious, not too strong but just right ! And they offer plenty of Tequilas to choose from- so I'm sure they have your favorite. On this visit I ordered my usual Casamigos Margarita- Sooo Good ! I then ordered up a few meals to go: First order was a two cheese enchilada combo with double beans (the beans are super tasty, can't get enough of that creamy velvety taste) Second order was the Carne Asada plater, also with double beans (of course) ;-) both are standouts - super authentic Mexican Food flavors. Basically every dish I have tasted at Micheladas Grill have been full of authentic flavor & super delicious. No doubt why it's such a popular neighborhood spot. Owner Alejandro and Bartender Kristina provide exceptional hospitality and make every guest feel truly welcome. Their kindness, attentiveness, and genuine warmth create a personal touch that makes each visit memorable. They go beyond simply providing "Great"service--they make you feel like part of the family. If you're in Northridge and craving excellent Mexican food in a welcoming venue with outstanding hospitality, Michelada's Grill is well worth a stop.

My wife saw on Instagram that they have asada fries for $10 on Saturday's, have been looking for some good asada fries so we had to try it. This is a food truck so you order and take it to go, or they have a couple small tables on the sidewalk if you want to eat there. When we arrived there was one order in front of us, so we did not have to wait long. The guy taking our order was very nice, I asked for some extra salsa and radishes, no problem. We ended up getting 2 orders of crazy fries, which is what they call their asada fries. A regular asada burrito, a 3 taco asada plate and a Birria trio. The fries were really good, the fries themselves were very crispy, which was great, most places are soggy fries, not here, they are crispy and very tasty by themselves. These fries are loaded, nacho cheese, asada, beans, sour cream, guacamole, onions, jalapeños, pico de gallo and cilantro. I have to say these are excellent, have had asada fries around the area and these stand heads and shoulder above them. The burrito was pretty large, packed for of meat, rice, beans, onions, cilantro and green sauce, tasty and enough for two when sharing fries as well. These Birria trio was great, interesting, 3 takes on their birria tacos, one kind of like a tostado style, then a queso birria, and a birria taco. These are one of my son's favorites, so had to get them and only $10 as well. Lastly, I got the 3 Asada tacos plate with rice and beans, I liked them very much, but I am easy to please and can't go wrong with asada tacos typically. All in all a great new find and we will be back to get the crazy fries and try some of there other items on our next visits. Go support them, small business, great food and service, write some reviews to get them more business. Enjoy!

The staff also gave out free chips and salsa before our orders were ready. These were both good. One thing I thought was crazy was the 25 cent charge to use the restroom.

At 8 p.m. on a Tuesday, there was only a short, fast-moving line at this taco truck right next to Winnetka Park. It's walking distance from my house, so I figured I'd give it a shot. Three tacos (two carne asada, one lengua) came out to $5.30, which is standard pricing in L.A. The food was out within five minutes. Their to-go orders come wrapped up in foil and a plastic bag. The meat left a little something to be desired. The asada wasn't as plentiful as the lengua, and it tasted salty more than anything. The limes and medium salsa could not help with that. On the other hand, the lengua was soft, cooked well, and complemented by the grilled onions and lime. I was also impressed by their inclusion of limes, radish, grilled onions, and grilled serrano peppers in separate packages, all for no extra cost. Their lime supplier, whoever they are, is amazing -- the ones I had were very fresh and plump. Convenience wins out over quality in this case, and it's a fine choice for anyone looking for a roadside Mexican food fix. Parking by the park and abundant housing is a well-played call.
