Taqueria Tiajuana

Listen, I’m new to the Mexican food scene out here in Omaha, and we’re off to a great start here. Coming from the East Coast, I have not had a bad experience yet, but I just had an amazing and awesome experience here at Taqueria Tijuana. Walk in, it’s a corner spot in South O off of 24th. We walked the stripped and I had asked a few locals what their recommendation would be in the past, and they all, without hesitation or thought said Taqueria Tijuana. If they don’t have to think twice, then I don’t either. Walked in and immediately seated, menu is pretty simple and has all the favorites. Of course some items like menudo and lengua are set for different daily specials or available on specific days and that’s fine, that’s just an indicator that it’s quality control and it’ll be amazing when I get a chance to go on one of those days. Anyways, prices are fantastic, about 2.75 a taco and they’re traditional. None of the new age fusion stuff and exotic combos that some places are doing these days. This is actually something I’ve enjoyed about multiple Mexican fare restaurants in Omaha so far, they stick to traditional style. As I was saying, I got a one carnitas and one asada taco, and a sope asada. The meat was so flavorful and tender in every item, the ingredients were fresh, the guac, cilantro, and onions ratio to meat and spice was perfect. The food came out fast and the food was fantastic. Belly and heart was full, and off we went to international bakery. If you haven’t been here, it’s worth the drive. You won’t regret it. Great place to grab a quick bite and be in and out in under twenty min. And it only took us that long because we were undecided as a group.
