Hija de Sanchez Kødbyen

A bit of a disappointment: not sure if it’s the usual taste or just today, al pastor meat stuck too much together, chewy and taste kind of bland. The beef barbecue seemed old and overcooked and dry. The tortillas just didn’t hit the spot either, lacking taste. Texture was ok. The vegetarian taco was the most decent in terms of flavours. Still, completely unexpected. I’ve been last year and remember it to have been much better than today.

Great little place. Came in close to their close time and they were extremely welcoming. Delicious Tacos and drinks and we ordered a couple more - as they were closing the staff made us an extra which was so kind! Would really recommend.

After being in Europe since August 21, I had a serious craving for Mexican food. When I landed in Copenhagen, I immediately sought a restaurant for my craving and came across Hija de Sanchez. Walking there from my hotel, I was met by a much smaller restaurant than I expected. If I had done more research other than looking at the food, I would have realized this is a mostly-take-out restaurant. Although there is some limited inside and outside seating(one table to seat ~4 inside, several small tables for 2 outside), it is not the sit-down restaurant I was expecting. But, considering it was nowhere near Mexico, it was quite good. I ordered the taco combo, along with a side of beans and rice. As someone used to eating a LOT of Tex-Mex in the States, I noticed immediately that the tacos and side needed hot sauce. Although there was some spice, there wasn't enough to make it taste more authentic. Given, can I blame them for not having them spicier? No, but it would be nice if they had a hot sauce that I could add on- whether it be Cholula or just plain Tabasco. Besides the lack of spice, they were pretty good. All three were pretty flavorful (although not extremely). However, the tortillas were tasty using any standard. BUT (and this is a big but), they are obscenely expensive. For my taco combo and side of rice + beans, I paid 175 kroner... AKA €23.5... Seriously? I'm sorry, but this was so expensive I don't think any part of the meal could justify it.

I guess it's a decent taco place considering that it's in Denmark, but judging them as a mexican they are just average. Of course they are not bad, and for sure I would come back if I’m in the need of tacos again. I had the taco combo to try all of them and my ranking is: pastor, barbacoa, veggies. Can't believe that salsas need to be ordered as an extra. Nice place and friendly service.

I ordered the taco combo and agua de Jamaica. Al pastor were by far the best l’d recommend those over the taco combo. They were good for being in Denmark. I was a bit upset that they charge extra for salsa but other than that I would recommend and would definitely visit again!

Ordered a taco combo (two meat, one veg), rice and beans and nachos with guacamole and salsa. Everything was tasty. But to nitpick - the meat could have been a little juicier and the rice and beans a little hotter. It wasn’t the taste explosion I hoped for, but still very good overall quality. Staff was really friendly and efficient. Top marks.

I really enjoyed the taco combo. Good variety of tasty tacos. The margarita was excellent. The prices are quite high but I think it was worth it. I recommend coming here for dinner and dining in because it is the atmosphere and music that really adds the value to the meal.

Best tacos al pastor in a long time. They make their own tortillas at the moment. The star are definitely tacos al pastor. A small downside is that you have to order the salsa separate (which is not uncommon in Europe and we forgot the first time), so don’t forget to order your salsa. The second time we tried the salsa roja (not my favourite) and salsa macha. It’s a joy being able to eat true Mexican tacos away from home.

This was probably the best restaurant we had in Copenhagen. The restaurant itself is basic with no frills. A couple of small ledge tables for dining in and a tented patio outside. For food I got the Al Pastor and Barbacoa tacos. Both were quite good but I preferred the Barbacoa. The quality of the meat was very evident and each taco had the perfect ratio of meat to tortilla. My only gripe with this place was the price. The tacos cost 2-3x what you would pay in Chicago (where the establishment is inspired from) also, they charged for each salsa which was disappointing given the local taqueria feel they are going for...especially with the tacos priced the way they are!

If you're in Copenhagen come to Hija de Sanchez, it is a must because it was one of the best tacos! I wanted to go to the sit down restaurant but didn't make a reservation so I came to this location as I still wanted to support and try the food and it didn't disappoint. I had their combo which was 3 tacos (pastor, barbacoa and cabbage). The barbacoa was the most tasty one. It was so good. The pastor came in second. Personally not a fan of the cabbage/veggie one. The churros were so delicious too, I loved them! The service was great too. Add this to your list when you're in Copenhagen!

It's like Tacos el Gordo picked up and moved from San Diego to Copenhagen. A bit overpriced, though. They have a "gringo" plate if you don't like authentic street tacos. Highly recommend the Michelada! Prepare to wait in line on the weekend. You'll enjoy the music.

Mexican Food in DENMARK?! YESSSSS! Don't forget the homemade churros and a margarita, you won't regret this amazing find!

Wife and I are vacationing in Copenhagen and went here to celebrate Dia de los Muertos. Delicious food. Great atmosphere. Smelled like a tortilla shop anywhere I've been before. Wife loved the barbacoa. It was incredible. I personally loved the grilled cabbage. Cabbage has no business being that freaking delicious. The pastor pork was solid as well. Pricey, but a special treat to celebrate.

There is a lot of bad Mexican food in Europe. Having eaten my fair share of stale tortilla chips out of a bag and ketchup based salsa, I was pretty skeptical of Hija de Sanchez. However, if David Chang says its good, we figured it was worth a shot. Happily, we weren't disappointed. We ordered the taco combo, so got to try all three on offer that day. The al pastor and fried fish but surprisingly, the vegetarian "raja" was my favorite. It was more tostada than taco and had great flavor combos from the green chilies, fresh corn, and mound of finely grated cheese. We also had the rice and beans, and a pineapple juice drink. In hindsight, I wish I had ordered a margarita -- I saw someone else get one and had total order envy! Sadly, they were not offering chips and salsa during our visit. But, they did have one of their famous "palletas" (popsicles for all your gringos) on offer. We shared one avacado pop. It came beautifully presented on a plate, drizzled with dulce de leche and freeze-dried fruit (raspberry, maybe?) bits. It was tasty and instagramable. Win-win! Our all time favorite Mexican restaurant in Europe -- it does feel like a little bit of an oxymoron saying that -- is Coba in Amsterdam, and while Hija isn't quite on Coba's level, it is still most certainly worth a visit if you find yourself in Copenhagen with a taco hankering.

4 stars is not enough. Home boy made some delicious tacos. Pastor flames. Chard cabbage, unexpected hero. Ambiance 11/10. All drinks superb.

I did not come to Copenhagen expecting to have some pretty amazing Mexican food! As other have mentioned I have had my fair share of terrible Mexican food in Europe. However, upon doing some research I discovered that this little gem was found by Latina woman whose worked at the Noma. Upon entering the restaurant I felt transported to somewhere far away from Copenhagen. The staff was Latinx and they were playing music is Spanish. I could see the al pastor and smell all the spices in the air! I had one al pastor and one cabbage. The al pastor was delicious and everything I needed. I was incredibly impressed with the cabbage taco that was so perfectly seasoned and tasted amazing with the roasted peanuts. Even the rice and beans were amazing! Highly recommend making a stop here while in Copenhagen!

The tacos at Hija de Sanchez are very good, but I admit it's a bit overrated. The owner/chef is the former pastry chef of Noma, hence all the hype. Their original location at Torvehallerne's food market is only open during the spring and summer and the meat packing district is their second outlet. Once my husband and I located the taco stand in the meat packing district we placed our order at the counter. We both ordered the combo plate which included three soft tacos for 100 Danish Krone (about $15). The menu is seasonal and changes daily. The selection during our visit was the Pastor (shredded pork), cheese and avocado, and the fried chicken taco. I could have skipped the cheese and avocado taco as well as the fried chicken taco. The Pastor taco on the other hand was amazing and I wish I had ordered all three Pastor tacos on my combo plate. The tender pork and freshly grilled corn tortilla scream authentic Mexican taco. This is the taco that Hija de Sanchez excels at. While I truly believe these are the best tacos in Copenhagen I am a bit surprised Hija de Sanchez was voted as one of the world's top 50 restaurants. I don't mind the casual setting or eating with paper napkins on outdoor patio furniture. I do mind paying $15 for three tiny tacos. I can get equally delicious, made-from-scratch, authentic tacos in Tampa for half the price and I don't have to go next door for a hot dog because I am still hungry.

The tacos were good, but everything was overpriced. We paid for chips and salsa but received a condiment sized salsa serving. When we asked for a second we were told it costs extra.

One of the best Al Pastor tacos I've had. It's a cute shop in an area with lots of cute restaurants. No restrooms or indoor seating but plenty of outdoor seating. The Al Pastor is 35 DKK and the Carne Asada is 40 DKK. We also had a side of the Beans and Rice for 50 DKK. Our favorite was the Al Pastor; it was so good you don't need the Jalapeno and Habanero sauces. The Carne Asada was a bit dry. The refried beans and rice were fine. Overall, would recommend a stop for the bomb ass Al Pastor taco, but it is pretty pricey.

So on my way to Russia for the World Cup in June, I got the chance to first visit Copenhagen. This had been on my bucket list for many years, as I have always wanted to eat at the "best restaurant in the world", Noma. Well, come to find out, the window I'm there is the two week window they are closed in between seasons. They must have been out foraging. Well, when you can't go to Noma, you can go to a restaurant opened and run by a Noma alum. Hija de Sanchez, for those who are unaware, is the idea of Rosio Sanchez, a Mexican-American from the South side of Chicago, who has worked at some who's who of kitchens in the Michelin guides. Her biggest claim to fame was under the tutelage of Rene Redzepi, as the pastry chef of Noma. Her idea was to make authentic Mexican tacos (with imported ingredients from Oaxaca) in Copenhagen, but with some infused local flavors. This location is in the meatpacking district, which we completely ran into by accident, just wandering around the streets. I'm so glad we did. Not only did we find Hija de Sanchez, but we also found some other really cool stuff. This district was like a U shaped strip mall, full of bars and restaurants. Super cool concept, and mostly different types of food, so you didn't have much repetition. Right across the way was Warpigs brewpub (my next review), which was super cool and fun, with the best name of a beer on tap I think I have ever seen. Anyhow, back to Hija. We walk in to the tiny shop, and of course it's crowded. Not only local fame has given it much popularity, but the numerous write ups and TV appearances as well. I first heard about it by watching David Chang's "Ugly Delicious". I believe it was the second episode. Glancing at the menu (small), of course we opted for the try all three tacos option, which included an al pastor, a carne asada, and a zucchini taco. The ordering was simple, and they came out pretty quick. They came out on the simplest of paper plates, I think the cheapest ones made on Earth, and we went outside to eat with the other hundred people outside sitting in a communal seating area. The truth is we had already eaten not too long before this, but when seeing Hija, we had to have it. I wasn't about to come all the way back home to Hawaii and regret not having tried Hijas while I was there, full or not. Going there on a empty or even half empty stomach- you will not get full. You will not get full unless you want to spend about $25 on tacos. Three tacos here is around $11, and it just tickles and teases your stomach. I would say for the price, it's not a horrible deal. This is Copenhagen (most expensive city I've ever been to), the ingredients are supposedly scratch made from imported materials, and the chef/owner is famous. Could have been worse. However, I must say could have also been a little bit better. For not much more, they could have ditched the ghetto paper plate to something a little more presentable, even if it's take out. And for the love of God, proper "street" tacos require TWO tortillas! I can't believe this should even be an issue. It should just be a given. This was surprising and disappointing, especially because it wouldn't cost much more to double layer it. I am now regretting not checking other people's reviews before eating, or I would have definitely ordered the dessert too, as they look interesting, and possibly delicious. If and when I'm in Copenhagen again, I will be back to try again. Hopefully I will also have better timing as well, and be able to experience and review Noma while I'm at it. To be continued........

This Hija de Sanchez is located in the Meat District and surrounded by loads of other great restaurants. This fact may be of significant importance if you've a large appetite. My girlfriend and I actually passed by this spot and I went into the Indian restaurant next door to ask where it was. Haha. Indoors is quite cozy. There is outdoors seating. They have drinks on tap. It's quite beautiful, the drinks on tap. Although, they didn't have horchata both days I went. I got jarritos soda instead. The tacos! They are abso-fricking-lutely delicious. A few drawbacks are: they don't double the tortilla, which makes eating by hand super messy and it isn't filling because they are incredibly teeny tiny. Like damn, I can't finish three normal tacos, but I was left wanting more after having just eaten three of the tacos from here. Good and bad because you can try all flavors without filling up, but if you want that satisfied feeling, I gotta say you aren't going to get it here unless you order like eighty tacos. Fillings differ by day. It seems al pastor is always there though. In my opinion, that is the best one. I would definitely recommend coming here!

Was in Copenhagen on a lengthy layover and seen this place on tv so went walking in the rain and got there to didn't out it was closed for the holidays. Bummer cause the food looked great. Hopefully one day we'll go back n be able to actually try it.

Soooo good, OMG! I had been following Rocio, the chef, on social media for some time and have known her story. I know she gets some ingredients from Mexico and some locally from Copenhagen. First of all, being Mexican.... this place is so legit. It was nice to have real Mexican food in Copenhagen! I had the quesadilla, michelada, chips and guacamole, tacos with beefand the spicy salsa. The salsa was totallt very spicy, which I loved! Everything was just awesome, the service, the taste, and atmosphere. I think the prices were very high though, but considering the freshness and handmade tortillas ... definitely worth it! I highly recommend Hija de Sanchez!

It's a little place with devious Mexican food and drinks! We tried two of the tacos. They are street tacos (to me). A very tasty freshly made corn tortilla! The pork was so good. I loved the pineapple and the pico. The carne asada was tender and moist. The margaritas made us so happy. It erased like a margarita I had on a beach. The people working were super nice and a big thank you to the guy that made the delicious drinks. We will definitely be back.

Ah the hype and love this place got, from being featured on "Ugly Delicious" to the head chef and owner's most excellent background (Noma anyone?). I was really looking forward to trying easy authentic Mexican street grub in a city esteemed for foodie taste. Yeah, No. I'll start with ordering - not exactly friendly and insisting I pay via credit only since they'll close in 45minutes - not really street but ok. I ordered the raja tostadas. Yeah, No. If I wanted LaLa creama and cheese on a greasy fried tortilla I would've done that hot mess on my own. Are the meat tacos better? Maybe but I didn't try them. How about the salsa? Yeah, No. I think Taco Bell Fire salsa might've been better. I think perhaps it's hard to come by the right ingredients and substitutions are necessary, but it seems to be a point of pride everything was imported from Oaxaca. I could be mistaken on this but if I'm not...Yeah, No. I'm from the neighboring state Guerrero, have spent plenty of time in Oaxaca and this stuff could've been bought for a lot less. Maybe imported from San Antonio, TX. While previous reviews have said this is the best one could expect in Europe, Yeah...No. It wouldn't be fair to compare Hija de Sanchez to any place in Texas, Cali, or Mexico. I travel extensively for work, especially in Europe, and this is nowhere near top 20. Easily hands down is La Taquería in Belfast. I tried it, absolutely love it, and had to come back with friends to check myself. This is a great location, I'm sure it will continue to improve and hopefully have much continued success. I think it would be a nice place to visit if you need to check it off your list, but keep your expectations in check.

More of a 3.5. Wanted to see the hype about this place. The tacos are definitely good, but not great. As someone who lives in California, I've had better tacos at a much lower price. 9 tacos was about $50 USD! However, probably unmatched in Copenhagen for production quality, just not worth price since I'm used to Guisados in LA and La Penca Azul in the Bay Area. Definitely a place that benefits from the chef's relationships based on past career at Noma and pumping on social media. Not worth a destination visit. Visit the Torvehallerne down the street from Norreport station instead.

Cute outdoor/indoor spot with latin music pumping from the kitchen sets a lovely ambience I had a crane asada taco which was amazing. It had a spicy salsa on top already and it was packed with flavor. Only on taco per order, unless you order the combo 3 for 100. Expensive, but all of denmark, sweden and norway are. Definitely worth a try. Especially if you are an American longing for a taste of home. I consider Mexican food an American food group

What a letdown. But we had it coming. It's famous because of the owner and the fact that it's tacos in Copenhagen. Both the carnitas and al pastor had meat that was very overcooked. The vegetarian option was interesting, in fact it was the star and I enjoyed it, but there's nothing traditional about it. The tortillas were a hair undercooked. Don't just come here because you saw it on tv. There are better options!

Items Selected: Lengua Taco Al Pastor Taco Black Bean, Barbacoa and Cheese Flautas Chocolate and Salted Licorice Paleta with Dried Blueberry Originally opened in Torvehallerne and since expanded to Kødbyen, Copenhagen's Meat Packing District, Hija de Sanchez was born out of owner Rosio Sanchez's desire to bring food from her youth to a new life in Copenhagen, a childhood in South Chicago as a first generation Mexican American giving her an appreciation for the sort of spices rarely seen in Nordic Countries, but time cooking at noma and other Michelin Guide Restaurants giving her the confidence to strike out on her own and do something completely different. Originally launched in 2015 at the Market, her following growing quickly thanks to handmade Tortillas and Salsas plus Tacos made in the traditional Mexican fashion with occasional local influences such as Fish Skin or Fjord Shrimp creeping in, it was as part of a midday snack that a stop was made at the second location where several locals were enjoying the late-day rays of Danish Summer, the online menu unfortunately a bit deceiving in that it lists nearly a dozen Proteins even though only two are offered each day, the Paletas a similar situation with Thursday only featuring one, the prices also quite high with a total bill of 185DKK (nearly $30USD) for a total of four items. Targeted to be both approachable and authentic, a visit to Kiin-Kiin showing that 'spicy' is definitely a relative term in Denmark, it was with a seat taken near a small Piñata that a few minutes were passed before the order was ready, first bites of the Beef Tongue with Guacachile, raw Onion and Cilantro showing the meat to be tender but not particularly flavorful on a great shell, the Al Pastor shaved from a small spit by far and away the spiciest thing tasted in Scandinavia and on par with anything tasted in Mexico with a juicy chunk of charred Pineapple helping to quell the fire. Chucking at a sign teaching locals how to eat a taco as the finishing touches were applied to three Flautas, the thick Corn taking well to a flash frying and coming out crisp without a drop of residual oil, Sanchez and team again showed a good hand with Beef by way of spicy Barbacoa and Black Beans stuffed into three tubes topped with diced Cabbage and Fresh Cheese, the Popsicle taken to go described as Salted Licorice but fairly mild in terms of Ansie flavors with the overall balance more like White Chocolate with a texture and sweetness added by dehydrated Fruit on top.

I only stopped in for a quick bite, and while normally I'd only put in a tip for such a fast meal, the two pastor tacos that I had here were so amazing I had to put in a full review. Excellent/sturdy tortillas and really flavorful toppings, including a killer slice of pineapple. My only regret is that I didn't come here for a more full-length meal while in Copenhagen. Definitely will rectify that next time I'm in town.

Really friendly staff, pretty good tacos. The combo was tasty and the margaritas were fantastic. Not great seating for social distancing, but they did what they could with what space they had. Good take away menu too!

Since you can only eat so much fish in one trip, at some point you may find yourself hankering for something a little different. Thanks to Ugly Delicious for the recommendation, we stopped by Hija de Sanchez for one last meal before the airport. The tacos were undeniably yummy--my favorite being the al pastor--but were rather expensive for their tiny size (about $5 USD/taco). Additionally, there is no indoor seating so it is less than ideal for any day that isn't perfectly sunny. However, I enjoyed my food so I still would say it is worth the visit if a Mexican food craving hits while you're in Copenhagen!

It's been a long time coming. I was going to be in Copenhagen and had to make Hija de Sanchez my first stop once I checked into the hotel. I was closer to the sit-down joint in the slaughterhouse district than the kiosk that is further away. I went right for the 3 taco combo. Today's catch (literally) was the fried fish, queso fresco, and al pastor taco. I washed that all down with a badass tepache water. The tacos were outstanding and extremely fresh. This being my first official meal in Denmark - I had to try a variety of other things from the menu. I ordered an extra al pastor taco, chilaquiles, an agua de jamaica (hibiscus), and the mini-churros. That certainly it the spot on all fronts. Since Sanchez crew are all native Spanish speakers it was awesome to carry on a conversation while they were making tacos and I was eating them. This being Denmark - everything is expensive - food being no different, so plan accordingly. All of the ingredients are fresh and most are actually imported from Oaxaca. I can't wait to come back!

I first saw Hija de Sanchez at Torvehallerne, a small stall that sells tortillas, Mexican sodas and other products. Very recently they opened a location at Kødbyen (Meatpacking District) and together with other businesses are turning this place more and more interesting. The vibe of this small restaurant is casual. You come and order at the cashier, they have a range of tacos, flautas, quesadillas and paletas. We came for lunch and had the combo, three tacos for 100 DK -- very reasonable. I also ordered a side of totopos with salsa caseira (although I wish they would have guacamole as an option here) and água de jamaica (hibiscus tea). My three tacos were: Lengua (Caramelized beef tongue, Coriander, Onion, jalapeño salsa), Pastor (Marinated roasted pork, Grilled pinapple, Cilantro, Onion salsa), Fish (Crispy cod skin, Jalapeno tomato salsa). To be honest I didn't taste the pineapple on the pastor taco, and thought the jalapeño salsa + coriander kind of stole the entire flavor. Maybe they could try chipotle or chile de árbol for a next time. This place offers good and authentic tacos for a reasonable price. Will certainly come back.

I had heard about this place from a travel show on Netflix, Somebody Feed Phil. A pastry chef from the best restaurant in the world going back to Mexico City to learn how to make tacos. The friend my boyfriend and I were staying with told us most Mexican food in Malmö (across the sound from Copenhagen) and even in Copenhagen was awful. So we were all delightfully pleased to try these tacos and find them comparable to those we can find at home in Los Angeles. They also offer some beer and cocktails to round out your evening.

Hija de Sanchez is my absolute favorite taquría in Copenhagen (probably Europe) and definitely one of my go to places for lunch. One of the first times I ate at their new location, the woman next to me exclaimed a rather loud "ew!"; Waking up from my own taco heaven, I listened to her explain to her husband how the food was spicy (!) - and I have to agree with her; if you're looking for the standard bland taco you're usually served in Denmark, this is not the place for you. But if you want to eat a taco which tastes like a Mexican taco is supposed to taste (amazing corn tortilla and all), this is definitely the place you've been looking for!

You probably don't expect to find good Mexican food in Copenhagen. But Hija de Sanchez is wonderfully authentic. Their small shop in the Meatpacking District is a must-go if you are looking to change up your cuisine while in Denmark. You can get a sampling of their three tacos!

Simply put, these were the best tacos we've had thus far in Europe. And we are always on the lookout for good Mexican food in Europe, which is often few and far between unfortunately. I think that our expectations going in were pretty high to begin with, being that the chef is an alum of Noma, but we were not let down. We ordered the combo deals which allowed us to try all three tacos available on the menu that day: carnitas, al pastor, and queso fresco. All were very flavorful and delicious. I would have loved to have one of each in a burrito form just so that I would have more than 3 or 4 bites of each. The general high cost of eating out in Scandinavia also makes you rethink ordering a second or third round of tacos, but I'd say they are worth it. The space here is very small and cramped with seating for about 10 or less. So if the weather permits, it's also a nice option to take the tacos to-go and eat them in on a bench in the neighborhood.

Really good food. Not a lot of space but they doto go orders if you are staying nearby. There is a tortilla machine so the masa is prepared fresh and tortillas come out nicely. The condiments accompanying the tacos were a nice touch. Menu is small so adjustments to available ingredients might occur. All in all pretty good.

So being a native Californian who lives in an area with a heavy Mexican population, I'm a bit of a Mexican food snob. I know what's legit, and I know what I like. As a rule, I generally don't eat Mexican food in Europe because it ALWAYS disappoints. But I read about Hija de Sanchez and was intrigued by the story. I walked by a couple of the locations and would smell the corn tortilla masa cooking. I had to stop...I had to break my own rule. I ordered two tacos: an al pastor and a carne asada. The al pastor was really, really good. The pineapple was slightly dehydrated (I don't know if that was intentional or not) but it delivered a great, concentrated flavor without becoming chewy. The carne asada was also good...different, but good. There was a smidgen of some kind of sauce with it...but it worked. Both tacos were good-to-great. The price point was high for tacos, but not high for Copenhagen. I would absolutely return and run the menu with a half dozen Modelos.

Hija de Sanchez - already one of my favorite taco shop's from another location in Torvehallerne - has opened a taco shop in Kødbyen (Meatpacking) The quality is the same, and so is the set up - rotating menu of taco's. and tasty lemonades. Very authentic and delicious.

Minimalist space and menu, perfect for a quick bite. The tacos are out of this world good. Pastor is best I've had ever. The tacos were amazing as well. Avocado popsicle is a must try as well. Loved this.

The chef works there everyday with her staff, what more can I say! This shows the love and care that goes into the food. As I wait in line to order, I don't mind because I can watch them hand make the tortillas, and give 100% of their attention to every taco. Lastly, just a shout out to Noma for developing the food scene in Copenhagen, especially this chef and her beautiful flavors!

One of the best and tastiest shredded beef tacos I've ever had! My friend had the pastor and seemed equally as pleased. The side of tostadas with avo & salsa was the perfect accompaniment. All so simple, but super fresh and full of flavor. Staff is friendly. Nice small selection of beers & tequila. Small and casual, not much seating.

So far the best tacos I've had in Copenhagen. Coming from San Francisco I'm a bit of a taco aficionado. Although I wasn't pleased with the rice and beans, apparently there aren't pinto beans in cph, the meats were top notch.

Authentic Mexican and various beers and beverages. Great stop for a quick meal. Limited seating inside as well as some outside seating. No public toilets but the avocado popsicles make it worth the trip. Whenever in the meat packing district try it out

Tepache is my new favorite thing also the tacos were so fresh and delicious even the veggie one which we expected to be phoned in but NO, it was spicy and wonderful.

Really good tacos, reminds me of Mexico City. Small portions, so you have space for cake.

Delicious tacos! Was skeptical about finding authentic tacos in Denmark but was pleasantly surprised. If you are in the meat packing district of Copenhagen stop by Hija de Sanchez.

Both my visits was sadly disappointing. The tacos lacked flavor and aroma. I expected from this price range and their reputation.

Very authentic and delicious tacos! Cute and very tiny place, hard to find a seat. In Summer, there is more space outside.

Dang dang dang (that's 3 dangs) good tacos! Pricey but worth the walk.... then a jaunt around the shops and bins of the meat packing district. Good life!

Authentic Mexican food - therefore almost everything is glutenfree of course! I recommend the combo tacos with Carnitas, beef, and vegetarian black bean Tostada for 100 DKK, and one of the Mexican sodas. Tasty and fun street-food!

Awesome tortillas and good tacos overall. The zucchini option on offer when we stopped in was one of the best tacos I've had; others were good and likely the best you can find in the area. It is so tiny, so be ready to grab and go or eat outdoors. Service was quick and friendly.

Good, basic Mexican food. It seems like there is heart in the kitchen and that they have a solid foundation for the food they back. I loved that the kiddie menu was full of a variety of small dishes (refried beans, rice, slice avocado, and cheese quesadillas). The only downside was that the prices were a bit high for what we ordered.

Some of the best tacos I've ever had. The al pastor and carne asada tacos were top notch. They are very expensive, but well worth the price. The restaurant doesn't look like much from the front, but it's well worth seeking out.
