About

When the cashier at Tijuanazo asks you, “Con todo?” say yes—this East LA taquería knows what it’s doing. A popular chain from Tijuana (and, confusingly enough, the sibling of Cypress Park’s Taqueria Frontera, run by another one of the founder’s children), Tijuanazo stands out in this taco-rich city for its expertise in meat and salsa pairings. That sounds fancy, but it just means there’s no salsa bar—and that you should put trust in your taquero. The counter-service spot, housed in a big saucer-shaped building along Atlantic Avenue, tops its tacos with specific corresponding condiments and, like many Tijuana-style taquerías, wraps each one in paper like a mini bouquet. If you’re cool with relinquishing control and leaning into Tijuanazo’s curated approach, you’ll be rewarded with maximum flavor. One bite of their signature adobada and you’ll see what we mean. The smoky, spicy al pastor is cooled down with a splat of cilantro crema and a sliver of sweet pineapple that slices through the dried chile heat. Crucial details show up elsewhere, too. The jiggly chopped cabeza with salsa verde comes on warm double-layered corn tortillas for support. There’s a noticeable tang to the carne asada’s marinade that pops under its dollop of fresh guacamole. As with most curated experiences, expect to spend a bit more than your average taqueria (tacos cost just under $4). But considering each order at Tijuanazo comes with table service, a dedicated parking lot, and a menu designed by someone with a sixth sense for assembling tacos, it’s a price we’ll happily pay.
