Authentic Northern tacos, tortas, quesabirria, wood-fired grilled meats
"Crisped bread layered with a medley of braised cuts, finely chopped and garnished with raw white onion, beans, and melted cheese makes the campechano torta at La 89 sandwich excellence; I love how compact it is, how cleanly it eats, with the layers so clearly defined—it's quite simply the best torta I have ever had." - Nancy DePalma
"In beautiful Roma Norte, head to this brightly lit nook for an excellent selection of carne asada tacos, birria, and tortas. Nothing is rushed or done without care, as the kitchen takes its time grilling everything to order. Quesabirria is a winner with and without the delicate consommé. Carne asada features excellent sear and seasoning. Also not to be missed are the fantastic tortas, built on excellent bread and layered with precision. The sparse dining room is a simple affair of plastic stools and metal tables." - The MICHELIN Guide US Editorial Team

"In the past year, Northern-style tacos have flooded Mexico City streets, and now Baja California Norte has yet another representative in LA 89. The small, unpretentious taco joint focuses on birria and carne asada tacos and tortas, with substantial doses of guacamole in a very Tijuana fashion. The flour tortillas come from Hermosillo, and the cheese from Sonora. If you can’t actually travel to the north of Mexico, a visit to LA 89 on Colima Street is the next best thing. Must-try dish: Order your tacos with flour tortillas." - Natalia de la Rosa
