    A cute spot to eat some authentic tacos! There are plenty of space, tables to enjoy a quick bite or with a group of friends. While the pricing is relatively more than your regular taco shop, the quality of the food served is exquisite. The servers will take your order once you're seating or you can order take out at the counter. Food is delivered quickly and I burnt my tongue cuz it was fresh off the grill. I'll be back to taste the rest of the menu.

    Overall a pretty good experience. Service was great, food tasted great my only complaint is the size of the taco for the price and for them not to be making the tortillas on the spot handmade. Do I recommend you give thema try, absolutely! Oh and on thier adobada tacos they come with a white cream sauce that I am not used to or familiar with. I could pass on that sauce knowing what it taste like now. Neto.Eats on Ig.

    Amazing!!!!!! Tacos are premium that is all I Can say! I tried the asada, adobada and sudadero and all were delicious!

    Tacos are great quality but not worth the price for us. Dine-In or Togo. Their fresh corn tortilla with our tacos is amazing!! Their salsa is medium to spicy level for me; not meant for mild spicy eaters. Maybe I'm just too cheap and have access to alot more in East LA and such. We were expecting larger size tacos, not street taco size for their price. We found this place 6/2025 when a friend raved about their SD location and thought their cabeza and lengua were worth it. Then we noticed there is a location in East LA. I love both cabeza and lengua, but lengua being my favorite taco or burrito protein. I can see how people can love this place for its higher quality tacos. Overall, not for us unless I am really craving their corn tortilla and dine-in? Doesn't mean it's not worth trying, especially for those who like higher end/quality tacos. Staff took down our orders for dine-in. We got tacos: - $4.15 Birra Taco. - $4.15 Suadero (beef) Taco. - $6.15 Lengua Taco - $3.95 Vegetarian/Cactus Taco comes with beans too but I asked for no beans. Tacos comes with cucumber and limes. QR Code table scan for the menu. Staff will take your offer. There's a water station, and 2 restroom. Street and back lot parking. Staff is nice and willing to explain more. It seems like Tijuanazo tries to offer higher end/higher quality tacos like Evil Cooks (modern/fusion). Both of which I feel that burritos might be more worth getting? Completely different styles but apparently both priced way higher than local competitors.

    First time here and right off the bat the service was great. We were greeted immediately and were able to get a table. Tacos: Asada Adobada Lengua Birria Asada and Adobada tacos were really good. My birria taco was okay, I felt it was missing maybe seasoning or something. Lengua taco was okay as well. Other than that I recommend this spot if you're in the area. Again the service was great, they had a tv and the bills vs broncos game and we couldn't fully see it from our table and our server went and turned the tv a little. This was awesome. Super chill place to come with fam.

    This is definitely a good spot to check out! So much flavor, spice, and kind service! I enjoyed the unique taste to the meat and everything with it! Gotta come try it!

    I have been waiting to try this place and finally went on a whim on a Saturday evening. Tacos are an experience that should always be enjoyable and never did I think I would find a taqueria that disappointed. Well, this place managed to check off that box. I ordered two carne asada tacos, one suadero taco, one birria taco, beans with birria and cheese and an horchata. The one and only pro for me was that they're generous with the meat. The experience went downhill from there. For me, the flavor just wasn't there for any of the items. The worst part for me was all of the salsas were too spicy. As you can see from the photos, I tried various salsa. I even asked for their green salsa, which typically tends to be milder, but not only was it not "green" in color, it was no less mild. Tacos without salsa are a complete miss for me. I had read how delish the beans with meat side was; however, I wanted more beans than the birria because to me, the spices used in this dish were just too strong and overpowering. I gave the leftovers of this side to my visiting raccoons and possum and none of them touched it (they eat everything). My review is based on my likes and expectations with respect to tacos and unfortunately, this place was subpar for my liking. As I always state with respect to low rated restaurants, evaluate the place for yourself. Perhaps you will disagree and have a completely different experience. If you do go, there is a tiny lot that belongs to the restaurant and a small amount of street parking. There is a bigger lot across the street and that's where I parked with no issue.

    Excellent tacos! This is the first U.S. location -- Tijuanazo already has several spots in Tijuana, Mexico . The adobada taco is marinated perfectly and not overly salty . I love how the salsa and topping combos change depending on the protein -- everything feels super intentional and flavorful. Both the flour and corn tortillas are homemade, and you can totally taste the freshness . This spot actually reminds me a bit of Tacos El Gordo in San Diego/Tijuana -- so I'm hyped it's finally in LA . Service has been great so far, and the vibe is chill . Definitely recommend checking it out!

    We tried this place and were disappointed with the service. There was a "Please Wait to Be Seated" sign, but no one acknowledges you when you walked in. A simple, "Hi, we'll be with you in a moment," would make a big difference. We stood there for a few minutes feeling completely ignored until someone finally came to seat us. Once seated, the service was awkward and unfriendly. The server didn't greet us, explain the drink options, or make us feel welcome, almost like she was upset that we were there . For the prices they charge, I expected much better customer service. Unfortunately, because of the poor service, we will not be coming back.

    Tijuanazo East LA Tijuanazo brings that true border town energy to East LA with bold flavors, big portions, and that unmistakable Tijuana street food vibe. The tacos come stacked with juicy, well seasoned meats, the salsas hit with real heat, and the smoky char on the grill gives everything that extra punch. Their birria and asada are the standouts, but honestly, you can't go wrong with anything off the plancha. Fast service, lively atmosphere, and flavors that feel straight out of TJ this spot delivers every time.

    What is this?!. I asked for water and this is what they brought out... Room temperature water on a 90 degree weather

    If I could give zero stars, I would. What was meant to be a special Mother's Day meal for a party of five turned into a complete disappointment. It's a spacious place but we had to wait to be seated, and once we finally sat down, our order was taken incorrectly. Our server lacked professionalism and charisma, spoke so softly we could barely hear her, and was largely inattentive. The food portions were surprisingly small for the price, and the dishes were overly spicy to the point of being unenjoyable. On top of that, they ran out of ice, and the water glasses were the size of a child's cup. We constantly had to get up ourselves to ask for basics like lemon, and even then, requests were ignored more often than not. Overall, the service and experience fell far below expectations, and this is not a place we will be returning to.

    Truly outstanding tacos, highly addictive. We went there initially when we saw the long lines. It was worth the wait. Tacos were very authentic and has that charred robust flavor. Guacamole on the carne aside tacos were on point. Staff service was very friendly and welcoming. Can't wait to go back.

    Adobado burrito.
    Virginia O.

    Always a treat! Love the tacos but decided to change it up and ordered a burrito. I got the burrito. It was delicious however a little bit big for me although it was delicious I think I still preferred the tacos. Service is amazing. They sit you down. Take your order. Bring your food and you can even get free refills of the delicious Aguas that they have. They keep the place clean constantly walking around to make sure everyone's needs are met. Cheerful music plays that makes you want to dance! nice place you really gotta try it if you've ever had Tacos from Tijuana, this is where you gotta go. They brought them here to you!

With respect to service and ambiance, this place is just fantastic. It felt like I was invited to the neighborhood carne asada without having to be friends or family with any of the other guests! There's a self service toppings and salsa bar and a small bench to eat or wait. They specialize in beef and all things related. Meaning, they have asada tacos but are known for the lengua and labio and cabeza. I myself got the lengua and labio. I usually wouldn't order those cuts when going to my usual taco spots, but was told or read somewhere that this was the place to order those cuts. Really happy to have tried those. The place seemed really busy as well, so you know it's a beloved neighborhood spot. Parking was a little tough, but it is literally parking in a suburban residential area. It was a bit on the crowded side so I parked two blocks away.

The tortilla here is steamed and the meat is super tender, flavorful and juicy. Portions are generous and service is quick. There's toppings on the side you can add along with (very spicy) salsa.

    *** Credit cards accepted with a 4% additional fee ***…read more Tacos El Güero is one of many taco trucks in East LA and the truck specializes in Jalisco-style flavor tacos and burritos. I recently came here for a late night eat. [Parking]: Easy and free street parking - I had no issue finding an available spot. [Ordering]: Customers can actually do a phone order ahead of time. There was a small crowd on Friday at 9 PM, but I didn't wait too long to receive my order. There was a salsa bar with green, red, and habanero sauces. I was a fan of green sauce, but the other two salsas were too spicy for me. [Atmosphere]: No tables with just portable chairs to sit. I ended up eating inside of my car. [Menu]: Meat options include asada (beef), al pastor (marinated pork), cabeza (beef cheek), chorizo (Mexican sausage), lengua (tongue), tripa (beef guts), buche (pork belly), suadero (beef brisket), and pollo (chicken). Customers can order taco, tortas, nachos, mulitas, burritos, asada fries, quesadillas, and california burrito. *** Asada Taco and Al Pastor Taco ($2.34 per taco including 4% credit card fee): These were double-layered tortillas and I liked al pastor better than asada. Not the best al pastor taco I have had, but decent enough. This specific style of al pastor had no pineapple & came with sliced cucumbers off the side. Absolutely delicious s-tier grilled onion. *** This is a solid late night taco spot in East LA that actually accepts credit cards.

Don't forget to take a picture by the "Cinco Puntos" sign on the wall and the well-known tree nearby! The food was edible, I ordered a carnitas taco with chicharrón. The meat itself was flavorful, chicharron nice and crunchy and I liked that you get to choose your own toppings. The tortillas are handmade, which many people will appreciate, although they were a little thicker than I personally prefer. If you enjoy authentic, handmade tortillas, this place may be more your style. The service was the highlight of our visit. Everyone was genuinely friendly, welcoming, and kind. It was an extremely hot day, and one of the ladies even gave my daughter a small bag of ice to play with and cool off, which was such a thoughtful gesture. Thank you for going the extra mile. There is a small parking lot, and we were able to find street parking right in front near the outdoor tables. The outside seating area was perfectly fine for enjoying our meal. The biggest downside for me was the cleanliness inside the restaurant. While nothing prevented us from eating there, I felt the interior could really benefit from a deep cleaning. Overall, I'm glad we visited and experienced such a well-known East L.A. landmark. While I probably wouldn't return because it wasn't quite my personal preference, I can still recommend it to anyone looking for authentic carnitas, handmade tortillas, and a piece of East Los Angeles history.
