Yelp Review: Angel's Tijuana Tacos - 2 Stars
I know I might catch some flak for this, but here's my honest take on Angel's Tijuana Tacos. We were originally set on trying Tacos Los Cholos, but Yelp led us to Angel's with its glowing reviews, so we decided to give it a shot.
The place was buzzing, and from outside, the line looked long. Turns out, it's just a short entrance from the door to the register, so it wasn't as bad as it seemed. Still, the place was packed.
I ordered a burrito with no salsa (I'm a smooth salsa guy, not into chunky), my youngest got a quesadilla, and my wife and son went with burritos too. The food came out fast, which was great since we were wiped out from a long day at Knott's Berry Farm. We rushed back to our hotel to eat.
Here's where it went downhill for me. My burrito was dry--and not just because I skipped the salsa. I've had plenty of burritos without salsa that weren't this parched. It just wasn't that good, honestly. My daughter's quesadilla was even worse; it wasn't cooked through, so she didn't touch it. I took a bite and it was disgusting. If you make a quesadilla, melt the darn cheese. Eight bucks down the drain. My wife and son didn't care much for their burritos. Wife ate half and stopped.
The quick service and vibe were solid, but the food quality was a miss for us. If I come back, I might stick to the tacos and see if they live up to the hype. For now, it's a 2-star experience for me.
