" From the moment I stepped into Tijuanazo, I was impressed by the cleanliness and the vibrant Indian decor. The service was prompt and friendly, and I appreciated the variety on the menu. I opted for the adobada and buche tacos, both of which were delightful! It’s just what I needed to satisfy my taco cravings. I imagine this place will become quite popular in the coming months, so be prepared for a crowd! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the carnitas and they were fine, though not very memorable. The ambience was bright and bright, and ideal for a casual meal, but I did not find it particularly authentic—more so a blend of interpretations than genuinely Tijuana-style cuisine. For me, the highlights were the friendly staff and the cleanliness of the restaurant. It could be a nice place just for relaxation and catching up with friends, but I’d go somewhere else for tacos. " (*Curated Review*)

" As a taco aficionado, I’m always searching for authentic flavors, and Tijuanazo hit the mark! I tried a variety of tacos, including the suadero and cabeza, both of which showcased brilliant authentic Tijuana flavors. The staff demonstrated exemplary service, making recommendations that didn’t disappoint. The only downside was the parking situation, but that’s a given in Hillcrest. I’ll definitely be back to explore more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the pleasure of dining at Tijuanazo last week, and it was an incredible experience! The birria tacos were out of this world, and the handmade tortillas made all the difference. The vibe was lively yet cozy, a perfect spot for taco lovers. Plus, the staff was very attentive and friendly. Definitely, recommend going! " (*Curated Review*)

" Not impressed. I tried the tacos and thought they were average at best. The meats were okay, but I expected more seasoning and depth of flavor, and the prices felt steep for what was offered. The place was clean, but I felt the atmosphere could have been more inviting. I might give it another shot, but my first experience was just average. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a fantastic time at Tijuanazo! The tacos were incredibly fresh, and the quality of ingredients is evident. Each taco tasted like a piece of home, and the staff was upbeat and caring. Although the space is small, it adds to the charm. I can't wait to come back with more friends to share the experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love the atmosphere at Tijuanazo—a cozy spot that feels welcoming. I ordered the tripa which was cooked perfectly; it had just the right amount of crunch. My only criticism is the parking situation, which can be quite a hassle. However, the food makes it worth the trouble, and I’ll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)
