Angel’s Tijuana Tacos — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Oh boy, I don't like doing negative reviews, but this one is important.

We went here on a Sunday night around 830pm. It was super busy, like so busy the line was down the block. We took this to be a good sign, thinking it meant 1) obviously the food is bomb - look at how many people are willing to wait for it, and 2) the food will be fresh. We do not mind waiting so long as it is worth the wait.

While in line, some guy came and cut the line in front of a young family. There were words exchanged, and the guy who cut the line ended up spitting on dad from the young family. Angel's Tijuana refused to serve the guy who cut the line and spat, so that was really good, but it just created an atmosphere of tension.

After about 30 minutes in the lineup, my husband went to order the food. We were super excited about the fresh tortillas being made, but we noticed there were not many options for condiments. Other taco stands offer grilled jalapeños and grilled onions and sauces that can be poured into separate cups.

Here, they were in such a rush that they were just throwing stuff onto the plates. The al pastor meat wasn't getting enough time between customers to cook properly. The chicken was precooked and served out of a pan. And the thing that ruined it for us was the sauce being poured on by the stand people. They absolutely doused our tacos in sauce. By the time my husband paid and we brought them to the car to eat (literally a 1 minute walk), all the tacos were soaked. Soggy to a point of disgust.

It was a waste of our money because we ended up throwing more than half our food out.

Will not be going back. Not worth the wait, not worth it the trip at all.

This place has the potential, if they just focus on QUALITY rather...

The old man that's apparently the owner, is arrogant. He sells you what he wants and not what you ask for. Just because he has a lot of consumers, he wants his way or no way. Extremely stingy with food. You ask for sauce, and he doesn't want to give you sauces to go he asks in a sarcastic way why didn't you ask for sauce in your tacos or burritos. Their food is great. However, they want you to buy and choose according to what they want, not what you want as if they're the ones paying for your food. Regardless if they have the meat, they won't sell you it. Not sure if they have a race preference or appearance preference. It just not worth going. The food is decent but they barely want to give you enough and want to serve you want they want. They went downhill. They were great before but ever since they got more consumers they stop caring for anything and have this mentality if you want it our way you will if not we don't care because we'll always have others come to buy and thats not okay. Don't waste...

It was on the news that this taco stand may be part of a large company that operates in some cities in Southern California. This company seems to be taking advantage of the flexibility from the state to allow small street vendors. Another taco shop with a very similar name and that seems to be part of the same company was already removed from the streets in Anaheim, CA.

Also, this business has NO regard for our community at all. How is this allowed? The sidewalk looks worst than one from a third world county. They should at least try to follow some of the regulations from the Los Angeles County Health Department, Sanitation, Bureau of Street Services, Public Works, ADA requirements, etc… Even the most basic requirements from any applicable department are ignored here. They seems to dump oil and ashes and/or charcoal onto the street. Take a look at the shrubs/landscape along the sidewalk. All the plans look...
