Taquería Frontera made an immediate splash in Cypress Park's emerging restaurant scene during their soft opening last week. By bringing everything, from their tacos to their employees, from their family’s small Tijuana taco chain, Tijuanazo Taquerías, this new taquería embodies everything we love about Tijuana’s taco life. Most admirably, it’s built to encourage conversations on border politics by figuratively hoping to replace the borders people maintain between each other with their delicious Tijuana-style tacos.
Even with hundreds of great taquerías in Los Angeles, you seldom bite into a new taco and instantly think, "This is a winner." This is one of those rare times.
Juan Carlos Guerra, who goes by J.C., opened Taquería Frontera last week as his venture, separate from his father's, the small but formidable chain known as Tijuanazo Taquerías. Still, he has his dad's encouragement.
