Hija de Sanchez Nordhavn

I visited Hija de Sanchez in Nordhavn recently. The place has an interesting history, started by a former Noma pastry chef to bring authentic Mexican techniques to Copenhagen, specifically their house-made masa using imported heirloom corn. The Food & Drink I ordered the 3-taco combo (two beef and one pork). The ingredients were clearly fresh, but the meat itself was a little bit dry, so the food felt average. To drink, I had a Jarritos cola. It’s my favorite, and it was very nice to have it available there. The Experience The atmosphere in Nordhavn is great. It’s a very cozy spot with a nice open kitchen where you can see everything being prepared. A huge plus is that the ventilation is excellent; you don’t leave with your clothes smelling like food, which is a rare find for a taco spot. Summary Overall, a 3/5. The vibe and the freshness are there, but the food was just "ok" on this visit.

Very good tacos. Flavours are strong and clean, and everything is fast and efficient. Easy place to eat well without overthinking it.

Best tacos I’ve ever had. I tried the combo — beef, pork, and vege — all three were insanely good. Full of flavor, fresh, and perfectly balanced. Must-try in Copenhagen’s Nordhavn district!

Unfortunately not recommended. Guacamole was bland, and somewhat of the quality you have when you buy it from lidl or so. Their taco combos were ok at best, little meat, no spice, no cilantro. Salsa has no spice. Service at least was decent - but food not worth the price at all.

The real deal. Genuine food by Hispanic people. The food is fresh and tasty. We had the taco platter, chicken gringa, chips with salsa and guac, as well as drinks and finally churros. I'd rate the chicken gringa the highest. PS: order at the bar, don't wait for them to come take your order.

Very impressive food. Fresh and has great flavours. The vegetarian option tacos were sublime. Amazing taste and flavours. Soft taco. Went for lunch and food was just right without being overly heavy.

$360Kr ~$52Usd for terrible service and mediocre “authentic mexican food”. My group of 3 came into a completely empty restaurant and had to get the 2 employees attention. We asked if we could have the chicken tacos on corn instead of flour tortillas and they said no. When our food came out we asked for more lime for the fish tacos. The server brought them and made a snide comment about the tacos already having lime. We then realized we didn’t get the rice and beans we ordered and had to go back in to ask for them. They said oh yes we forgot that. I’d understand if the restaurant was busy but it was totally dead and they weren’t even doing food prep. Honestly very disappointed as a Mexican who has been a fan of Rosio’s growth online. Very disappointing. The rice and beans were over salted, the tortillas were not fresh or had a good corn flavor. The fish tacos had too much mayonnaise and chipotle to compensate for the plain “beer batter”. The barbacoa was the only thing with flavor but the cilantro and onion were minimally put on as toppings. Not sure if my expectations are to high coming from San Diego, CA and being of Mexican decent. The CPH community is definitely getting ripped off.

Service was minimal. No water offered on table. Sauces came in plastic containers. Great for takeaway but we were eating in No hot sauces to choose from. Cocktails served in water glasses- everyone knows they taste better in a fancy glass.
