Taco Tijuana

Tacos! Al pastor was my favorite! You have to request pineapple if u like it that way. Suadero was really good as well!.: all the toppings onions, cilantro, salsa are added before handed to you. Asada was our least favorite :(not enough seasoning or flavor. The quality of all the tacos was still really good though!
There was no salsa bar. No sides, and no handmade horchata. Those were our cons.
We also had the asada fries,. Which was lots of sour cream and something like a guac cream. Not bad but it came with shredded cheddar cheese.: and not nacho cheese. Which is what I for are reason expect. :\ but not all places do. Anyways, the small portion was enough for my husband and I! He probably could of had more but he had already had 3 tacos. Lol
Regardless will be back for pastor tacos and pastor fries! ^_​_​_​^ ohh and the staff was super friendly and attentive!

The salsa here has one hell of a kick! I’ll keep coming back for the carne asada tacos.

I always went here to grab lunch every now and then while I was attending school in the area. Their carne asada fries are my go to! It’s loaded with a generous amount of beef, cheese, crema and guacamole. The fries are always crispy and the beef is well seasoned. Squeeze a bit of lime on top to bring out the flavor of the avocado and you have a little piece of heaven. …even if that piece of heaven makes you hit the gym hard the next few days. Their size small is quite big! It’s a good deal for $ 5.39 after tax.

I love this place. Went to Vegas 2x and had to go here both times. Best carne asada fries!

Authentic Mexican food el adobada is sooo good plus very inexpensive and delicious! Can’t beat that!

Stumbled across this place enroute to the strip. Family style Mexican place (my favorite types). I had a few carneasada tacos $ 2/​ea. They were goooooood. I guess I am not that experienced to really criticize tacos, but I know what Iike. Fresh meat, cilantro, onions, taco and guacamole will do it for me. loved this place and loved the fact I was treated sith kindmess from the moment I walked in as a lost Japanese kid with little to no knowledge of mexican foods… they prep your order right in front of you Nd have it ready immediately.. great stuff I cant wait to go back.

Really good I loved it and customer services is good they speak Spanish and English and everyone was really friendly

Really love going to this place, wish there was one by my house but at least it’s near UNLV. The food is really good, better than Roberto’s in my opinion.

I love this place. I can’t drive passed it without stopping in now.
The ordering system is a little weird, and there is a little bit of a language barrier, but honestly, that’s kind of what I’m looking for in a Mexican restaurant. I need to try more of their menu, but so far, everything I’ve tried has been excellent.
I can’t speak to it’s authenticity because I’m a gringo from San Diego, but as far as that experience goes, Taco Tijuana is authentic to me.

Authentic Mexican food
Didn’t know how to pronounce what I had but it was a spicy pork taco and a steak quesadilla and it was delicious.
I’m happy Arby’s was too crowded and took a shot at what looked to be a family owned restaurant

Al pastor and carne asada is amazing and at 2 dollars per taco you can’t beat it. We use to like to go to taco y taco but not anymore. The value, ease of ordering and friendly staff make the our taco experience all that better. Will be back!

I used to run a Mexican restaurant so although I’m not Mexican, I know my Mexican food. And, this place was great. It was authentic, all handmade in house, with friendly service and great prices. There seems to be a lot of Mexican joints on this stretch of Tropicana, and this one was the busiest as far as we can tell — a very good sign.
We’ve been in twice and both times were great experiences. We haven’t tried everything so we’ll definitely be back again.

Not awful, but this place doesn’t compare well with all the other nearby Mexican places.
I was a little surprised that there were no chicken or fish options.
So, I ordered the Taco Tijuana with pork.
The tortillas were small and greasy. The meat was fine, but not very much of it. The accompaniments were good.
I realize that Tijuana-​style street tacos are mean to be just a couple of bites to eat on the run. Still, I would have liked more food for the price;
…and a few more meat and/​or vegetable options.
The service was fine.

Taco TJ’s Al Pastor tacos are really good. Thin slices of pineapple would make them even better but they’re really good without. Their Carne Asada was alright. No «wow» factor there. The Al Pastor is where it’s at.
If you’re not a fan of LOTS of raw onion, ask for it on the side. I’m a fan of it but even I thought it was a bit much. You’ve been warned.
Like other reviewers have mentioned, a salsa bar would be nice but they do have lime wedges and sliced radishes available for the taking. However, you do get salsa on your tacos and a side of grilled onions (yes, more onions) & peppers.
The BF and I got a plate of Al Pastor and Carne Asada, each for $ 9.99 and they came with a couple packets of hot tortillas. We went the DIY taco route. I’ll be back for another fix soon.

Tortillas a mano ,
Service was friendly and fast. AL pastor tacos are filled with flavor. I would hold off on the sauce though so u could actually taste the flavor of the meat. Lengua tacos are perfect ! I will be returning soon

Absolutely stellar lengua tacos. Also tried buche and al pastor. Another great Vegas hole in the wall. Friendly service Would definitely return.

For those of you who don’t like the craziness and the hustle and bustle of Tacos El Gordo on Charleston… this is a great alternative. Excuse me, I wouldn’t even call this an alternative… I would compare this as their Siamese twins.
Their Al Pastor (adobada) tacos are made exactly like El Gordo’s. Carne Asada with that guac… on point. Yum!!! Definitely come here for your street tacos craving.
If you come during peak hours… be prepared to wait for a table since this place CAN get a bit dirty and messy… I didn’t see any workers here trying to clear/​clean tables. We were lucky enough to find the last CLEAN table.

I’m a fan! Especially of their asada– one tortilla, guac, and char; simple and delicious. Their $ 2/​taco rate is fair for the amount of meat they stuff in these babies. I do wish they’d add an actual salsa bar, but being able to get fresh-​grilled peppers and onions is always a nice perk.
Like I said, the asada is my preference here at Taco TJ. The suadero is nice and spicy, the al pastor lacked the crispy bits and pineapple I was craving, and the lengua could have been a bit softer. Note that lengua here goes for $ 2.25. Have yet to try the tripas.
Props to the staff for being quick and helpful– they had no problem packing and labeling our massive order. Though I don’t live nearby, I like that they are open til 1AM. Follow them on social media for alerts about their sales and discounts.

Tacos. Al. Pastor.
Taco Tijuana is one of the best places to purchase Al Pastor tacos in town (located on Tropicana and Topaz), and for about $ 2 a taco with a friendly staff making them, we are going to be repeat customers whenever we get a taco craving.
Unlike other places, your tacos will be packed with meat and swimming with flavor (I order mine with everything on it). Personally, I squirt a ton of lime juice on mine because I love the taste. The meat in the tacos have great texture variety with some crisp that makes every bite more addicting.
Refreshment options available for purchase: bottled water, canned soda, and there is a horchata fountain with many flavors available.
Procedure: Pay the cashier, drop your order sheet off on the side, choose your seats, pick your order up, and enjoy your delicious tacos. Tacos also come with a plate of grilled pepper and onions that pair together beautifully!

After passing by and passing over this place dozens of times, I finally was drawn here by a special event. Thank goodness.
Located at Tropicana and Topaz, Taco Tijuana is almost in the shadow of Taco y Taco. Arby’s is the only other notable business in the plaza, which is accessible from westbound Tropicana or Topaz. I was surprised that they were already doing brisk business when I stepped in not long after 11am.
The ordering system is more practical than TyT and Tacos El Gordo. You pay for your tacos (or burritos, vampiros, etc.) at the register in the corner and take your slip to the cooks, where you can express your preferences (no jalapeño for me) and ask for semi-​grilled onions (some raw parts still) and roasted peppers. Sliced radishes and limes, but no salsa bar, are on the side near the beverage dispensers. Prices are still $ 2 for most tacos (cheaper than TyT) and $ 2.25 for lengua, but for their «Taco Madness» event, they were just $ 1 (except for lengua, and they happened to be out of sesos).
I wanted to eat everything, so I tried the lengua anyway. It was a little spicier than everything else, but it was delicious. Suadero was up next, and while the tomato salsa was nice, the beef was a little too tough for my taste. Stick to Tacos El Gordo for suadero. I had to taste the al pastor (aka adobada) at that point, and while I forgot to ask about getting pineapple, it was still delicious with some crispy bites and balanced saltiness. I actually went back and tried it with pineapple, and it didn’t change my opinion about it too much.
I finally arrived at the tripas, ordered extra crispy a la Nelson. Great crunch, a little chewy intestinal flavor in the middle. Next, the asada was delicious, with just one tortilla (that’s apparently a normal thing for this specific meat), guacamole and a great char from the grill. Buche was in the same tomato salsa as the suadero, and while it wasn’t too chewy, the flavor wasn’t especially distinctive. Cabeza was last, and it was as delicious as any that I’ve had even though it didn’t have the fatty bits that I’d hoped for. It has the same spicier green salsa as the lengua, but my taste buds were a little numb by this point.
Not only was the ordering system easy and the food delicious, but the employees were really nice. The cashier offered to bring my food to my table, and one of the cooks wrapped my leftovers in foil and even threw in more onions. I could see myself eating everything again except the suadero, and I’ll probably return here for my next taco fix.
