Hello. I never review places really but this place was not good. It was my first time because I don’t live around Northridge. So I googled food near me and this taco place came up. It looked like they served good food and the presentation looks nice. But when I went the tacos were cold. The tortilla cold and a bit undercooked. The carne asada cold. Not even warm. I told the guy at the window it was my first time at that restaurant. And the Coca Cola from the soda machine tastes like some watered down warm Pepsi.And this is with ice in the cup. Not worth the money I spent. First and Last Time ever going to this place. I could have asked them to re make the tacos for me. But why should I have to do that. They literally just made them. I feel bad for all the student from CSUN that eat there. It’s not good. My stomach hurts as I’m writing this. Ate cold tacos. Not cool. Step it up guys. Please. Thank you.

I work across the street and was working a later night and they were a convenient option to have! They make their own tortillas which is a plus. I ordered an Al pastor burrito which was a very good size and packed with meat. I found the Al pastor to be a little too salty. It was still very good but definitely needed salsa to cut up the saltiness and oiliness. Overall worth a try if you’re in the area and want some Mexican food. I think their tacos are more delicious!

Tried Tacos 1986 in Northridge and it definitely lived up to the hype. We ordered the #3 Mulita Combo ($13.50) and the #1 Taco Combo ($12.00) and were very pleased with the quality of the food. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked.
Shoutout to Roberto for taking our order — he provided excellent service and made the whole experience even better. Will definitely be coming back! 🌮🔥

The workers here are very rude. They are very lazy. They talk on their phones while working.

Came here for some tacos since I was driving by on my way home. I asked for no salsa and when I got home, they all had salsa. When I called to let them know, I didn’t even get to speak with a manager. They wanted me to come back so they could remake them and asked me to bring the tacos. Made me feel like a liar or thief since I didn’t want to drive all the way back. They said they’d refund me instead but never got the refund … Don’t think I’ll ever be back

Terrible customer service. They don’t want to work or do anything. They asked to wait on the side while someone was looking through his phone for something

They play all the bangers from Selena, to bad bunny to your parents classic music. Highly recommend the burritos 🌯 !! Will be ordering soon

Tacos 1986 in Northridge has officially earned a spot at the top of my Valley favorites. Every visit feels like stepping into a place that actually cares about what they serve and how they treat you. The staff brings an energy that’s rare — welcoming, lively, and genuinely attentive in a way that keeps you coming back without thinking twice.

I have gotten breakfast and regular menu takeout plenty of times. Food is fresh and tastes really good. Fast, friendly service. Great addition to the neighborhood.
I have passed by 1986 a bunch of times and I always said I would stop by. Tacos have always been a great love of mine. I helped open Cocina Condesa, a from scratch Mexican restaurant in Studio City and worked at Cilantro Line in DTLA. Mexican food has always been part of my life. Walking up to the menu for Tacos 1986 I was a little disappointed. They only had Chicken, Pork and Steak. Those of you who know me understand my love for lengua and super crispy Tripas. The steak tacos were delicious. I am not going to lie, I wanted to try their salsa but after cooking for 11 hours I sat down and I didn't move. The burrito was well made and filled with flavor. I opted for steak for this as well. All in all I would go back especially because there was another Robert there taking my order.

Ordered take out last night, normally it's pretty good with no complaints. Last night when I got home after picking up my order, it seemed like they sprinkled the asada on my tacos. No asada whatsoever, that I regret buying.

First time trying this place and it was amazing! The tacos were great, loved the bottled drinks and the service was amazing. The staff was super kind and very attentive. With how great the weather has been at night the atmosphere of this place is amazing. Definitely recommend this place.
