“Everything taste great but I seriously need to have those beans special delivered to me! I don’t even like beans but I could eat these every day. 🥰“

“Las conchitas de Taro son deliciosas y Araceli me atendio miy bien“

“Muy rica comida excelente servicio, muy amables todos 🥰“

“Amazing food! Made to order, clean and beautiful dining area, excellent customer service. Tacos Al pastor, tacos de chicharrón, gorditas Xochipilli, chilaquiles, a few of my favorites. The best spot in the valley for authentic Mexican food.“

“Most advanced taco truck I’ve ever been to. Walk up order on an iPad that’s playing music (+vibes), ordering was easy to edit my preferences and tap to pay, they have a menu with PICTURES of all their food (I wish every restaurant and food truck would do this it’s very helpful) and they call out ur name when it’s ready. Burrito was incredible 10/10“

“Everything here is good. Carnitas and beef birria are our favorites. The parilladas and special family packs are great when you need to feed the whole family. Workers are always friendly and helpful. Don't sleep on the butcher shop in back, too. Grab some chorizo Salvadoraneo!“

“Cemitas Don Adrián is a true gem for authentic Mexican flavors! The cemitas are incredible—fresh bread, layered perfectly with meats, cheese, and all the right toppings. The tacos de cecina are absolutely delicious, packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. And the salsas? So good! Each one adds a perfect touch, from spicy to tangy, making every bite unforgettable. The service is friendly, the portions are generous, and the food tastes just like home. Highly recommend for anyone craving real, flavorful Mexican food!“

“Great service, food, prices and a very clean eatery. They give free chips and salsa. The staff were very friendly. I ordered their chicken and shredded beef enchiladas. They were stuffed with meat and topped with fresh lettuce, avocado and cheese. Their crunchy taco was the same. Great place to get fresh made to order food for the same price you’d pay if you went to a fast food spot.“

“One of my favorite Mariscos places. The shrimp coctails are soo packed with shrimp unlike most places that give you 5 or 6 shrimp.. Both the Fish & the shrimp tacos are huge. They give you free chips and Salsa when u dine in and The salsa is so good I always go through 2 bowls! The service is fast and the girls that work there are super nice. Been going here for 20 years. It is CASH ONLY but the 711 next door has an ATM. It's also kind of small so it gets packed quickly depending on the time and day.

Parking: This place is in a small plaza with many small businesses so parking is usually full but there's a lot of in & traffic so if you wait a couple minutes you should find a spot to park.“

“I live in Long Island NY. I ate here back in August when I went to visit family for a week. I still think about this place ALL the TIME. Best tacos I’ve had in my life. I love this place and can’t wait to go back to LA to eat from here again. I wish NY had tacos like that 😭.“

“Tijuana Grill is one of the best spots for Latin American food! The chef is incredibly talented and every dish is full of authentic flavor. The staff is welcoming, the restaurant is very clean, and the atmosphere is great.

Definitely try the tortas, burritos, and beverages — you won’t regret it!“

“las redes sociales tienen un potencial enorme...quise venir a disfrutar quizas parte de comida tijuanense...es una lastima que empleadas como esta echen a perder todo...pedí 3 tacos y una coca...y no me puso la coca en la orden...me hizo esperar el tiempo que quiso para darme mi cambio...mientras esperaba vi como le hizo mal otra orden a un señor con discapacidades...y argumentaba que no podía cambiar la orden hasta que viniera un manager...y no somos perfectos..lo se..pero la actitud es muy importante...al estar apoyando al sr en silla de ruedas...ella volteo hacia a mi y me dijo que no me metiera donde no me llaman..total..me voy decepcionado“

“Our sandwich was amazing! The salsa verde was extremely fresh, the bun was toasted to a nice crisp and the sandwich was delicious. We honestly didn't know what to expect when we pulled into the strip mall where it was located in Van Nuys. We were pleasantly surprised and we will come back!“

“You want a good California burrito in the valley?

Stop looking.

Burrito PERFECTION. All the salsas. Apple Pay accepted. Hand washing station included. Ample parking and sitting space.

The only way to improve this place is if the chef came and personally massaged my shoulders as I ate the food.

Self reminder: the suadero is good, but the lengua tacos are my fav. You can ask for the al pastor extra crispy. The strawberry agua fresca is quite sweet, even for me.“

“Man I loved this place! Te food was perfect Mexican food. Nice presentation good quality and cooked very good! I could see this place being perfect for football season with all the TVs!
I will be back with my wife as she loves Mexican food. Get in here and help the local business out so they stay in business! Some of my pics were after I started eating but it looked perfect when it came! Horchata was perfect! Not just sugar like some places.“

“La cajera q m atendió muy amable ..“

“ive been coming here ever since we lived in blythe and I was 6years old I moved all over the US ATL, Florida, Alabama and now I live in san diego, and I always take the trip to eat at this same location im 44 yrs old. and it still has the same old taste since I was a kid. I still drive and fly here to reminisce of my child hood love you dad thanks for everything you raised me well. R.I.P what I order is tacos de carne Asada etc. Burrito de carne Asada con aroz y frijoles cilantro y cebolla. known as the Conga minus the cilantro and cebolla. Sin Chile now im going to all tacoshop to make this burrito known in sandigo I made the mark. Woohoo!“

“Delicious food, drinks and service.“

“rica comida con buen sabor👍“

“This was my first time that I went to this place my friend took me She already knew this place,So we went to get some Menudo with fresh handmade tortillas & my friend ordered 1 carnitas taco, that taco was big and cheap !The carnitas were fresh Homemade We ate there then the owner came to our table very friendly asking me if I want to try their carnitas with a taco already he said "is on the house for you to try our carnitas!"That was very nice of Him the taco was yummy the carnitas were succulent the staff was friendly & I did felt comfortable eating there I felt like I was eating in a family restaurant!It is a small place but while we were there people kept coming and taking orders to go!I guess this is a good signal about this place!I do recommend it!?“

“Best al pastor tacos I've ever tasted! And I hate salsa that is too spicy and they have this green sauce or salsa that isn't spicy at all, and it's so flavorful! Went two nights in a row just to get the same tacos. So delicious!“

“Excellent food and service....“

“I love the food here. I especially like the fajitas and the coffee here is awesome. They have excellent service . My husband and I eat here regularly.“

“Ordered tacos w all.. dam they were hot as hell.. This place is awesome but if u cant handle the heat (not even sure i can) be sure to say no salsa on the tacos.. the chips n salsa is pretty hot too but very flavorful. There are taco vendors everywhere but i felt a need to support. Legit mexican food for sure. Especially if youre hung over.“

“I was a little skeptical to eat here since I've never tried there food, well I'm glad I did food is absolutely delicious I got the Birria Combination good amount of food the meat is soft and tender, both my daughter and son got the tacos de azada I expected two little tacos but to my surprise they are huge and with good amount of azada, my hubby got the Birria en Caldo de Chivo good amount of meat the caldo was tasty and not runny or watery also it comes with a good amount of homemade tortillas. The one only thing I would change is the chips and salsa chips need seasonings and the salsa roja needs to be more thick less water.“

“Muy sabrosa comida the kids tacos los mejores“

“los mejores del Valle de San Fernando 🤤 super deliciosos !“

“Angry Boy Burger in Van Nuys is a little restaurant that I wanted try, their food is good, cook to order, not the greatestyet good enoughfor a quick bite, their menu is typical burger joint, the staff is friendly and there's parking in the rear.“

“My family and I were out of town, and are always down for Mexican! With the 6 of us, we all have varying tastebuds, but even the picky eaters loved their food and are non-stop talking about it. Fresh, well flavored food, we all left raving about the place. Thank you!*Currently, they are only accepting Zelle or Cash, as a heads up!“

“The cashier was on her phone when I walked up. I asked for tacos and a mulita. I told her the meat type that I wanted. She typed it it the iPad and kept asking, "What kind of meat?" After I told her many times and slowly. Even after repeating my order multiple times, she still got it wrong. However, the food was delicious. Not exactly what I wanted but it was very good!“

“Food is good. Staff has always been friendly. I’ve been coming here at least once a week for the past 4-5 years and I’ve never had a problem with anything.
Don’t listen to that Jessica lady. She is clearly a self entitled person judging from her other negative reviews. Food tasting off? Never. Complaining about getting their drink along with their food (something that is supposed to be paired up together anyway)? Ohh no! You had to wait a few minutes! How terrible! Also I have never had a watered down drink.. another lie. Bitter woman looking for any reason to complain.“

“Very cozy and friendly staff owner is very polite and on top of everything 🙂“

“Very good buritto, server and the crew are very kind. 5/5 ❤️❤️❤️“

“Great food , indoor dining , reasonable price & healthy options.“

“First time coming here last weekend and it was great. Great staff back of the house and front of the house. Food is very flavorful. They all have fresh squeezed juices. By far my favorite. It's a small place but it's great to have a small lunch or dinner date. I come on the weekend for brunch and we loved the chilaquiles and the birria burrito. Will definitely come back again.“

“The Fish ceviche is THEE best!! Fresh made enchilada sauce, wonderful table salsas and chips, rice is bomb, fresh seafood everything made to order. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“The chicken is really good; it's a must-try for everyone, and the salsa is out of this world good. The wait times are 10-30 minutes; the people that say that the wait times are absurdly long are exaggerating. One time I ordered the party meal, and it only took 40 minutes. The people are really nice, and it's a great atmosphere and service.“

“the food was amazing! Overpriced if I may say. Just for two people we spend over $56. The chips were stale, waiter only checked on us once since we had ordered we were there for about 30-40mins, when we asked the waiter for our check he never came back he went to do other things from what we could see ordering food for other people (I think they’re short staffed?) we waited and waited until we decided to get up to the counter their was someone ahead of us then she left and the person behind the counter also left we waited there another 5-10mins. Then someone came back waited again for them to calculate how much it was. I need a box to go & when we came back to our table the guy was trying to throw away the food that was on the table since they were cleaning up & my bf had to run to tell them we’re taking it to go.

Food was amazing, I just don’t like waiting especially since we were in a rush & it wasn’t as busy as it was when we first go there.

I don’t think I recommend it to people just because of the long period wait time. but if you’re not in a rush give it a try food was good & the drinks. Just chips were stale & the salsa for the chips wasn’t good.“

“Los Tres Potrillos is locally owned and operated. They offer fresh meat, authentic Hispanic merchandises and amazing service! I highly recommend this place if you are looking for authentic Hispanic merchandise. The price is good and it is located in Van Nuys.“

“I love their Mulitas,tacos and quesadillas and their green sauce is delicious 😋“

“The food here is authentic and the service is great. The only downside is it can be a bit pricey but for fresh healthy ingredients like these it's completely understandable, not only is this food healthy and fresh but it's authentically delicious too.“

“This establishment offers authentic Mexican cuisine with exceptional flavor, particularly their Birria, which I highly recommend. Despite its modest size, both the food and service are outstanding, and meals are served with remarkable efficiency“

“1 minuto Leerlo:
We’d gone by, this TACOS MEXICO many times.
Last week, I went to visit my Brother David. He lives about 1/2 mile from TACOS MEXICO,
So we walked down there.
You need to drop by on Tuesday or Thursday.
You’ll have a good choice of meats to choose from: BUCHE, ASADA, TRIPA, CABEZA and more.
It’s very well prepared and delicious.
Try them.Thanks“

“I recently when to eat at the one in van nuys, and I got so disappointed because I wait almost an hour and when I got my food it was so unflavored and I totally I understand the waiting time but this time the food wasn't that good I got two Huaraches one with steak and the other only cheese, but honest this is the first time I didn't like it because it didn't have any flavor it was so flat, I don't know what they changed but it wasn't as always. Please check your ingredients because I don't want to go again to get the same empty of flavor food.“

“I love the food here. I especially like the fajitas and the coffee here is awesome. They have excellent service . My husband and I eat here regularly.“

“Very nice and friendly people!! And the food is amazing. Definitely would go back and recommend it to friends and family.“
