Food Stands near National City, CA

“I tried the asada, and carnitas tacos they're good. Their salsa is very good! Has flavor and spice. I kinda don't like that they mix the onions with cilantro as I only like the cilantro. Service is great. Last month I ordered 20 tacos and she had a line she never got stressed about it. Kept her cool while it was raining. My coworker has the bouche, the alambre, and the cabeza and he loved all of them“

“Hands down the best churros I've tried. I'm not a big churro person but we hired them for a company party and it was the highlight of the night. Louie was professional, responsive & on time. He got there to set up prior to service & his staff was efficient so everyone could get their churros and ice cream without waiting too long. Would love to share a picture - but it was too delicious to remember to photograph until after“

“This is a hot dog shop with a Mexican-style exterior.The staff kindly explained about the hot dogs.I ordered two types of hot dogs recommended by the staff.One is a standard hot dog.The seasoning was very simple, and the sauce on top was mild and easy to eat!The other one had onions, coriander, etc. in a sauce containing spices.It's so delicious that even people who don't like coriander can enjoy it! !The bread was also fluffy and soft.The size of the hot dog is not too big and can be eaten by one adult.The French fries were freshly fried and had a bit of spice.The interior of the store was also very cute!Please stop by the store and take a look.“

“We found Cucina Caprese after wanting to find a restaurant in San Diego that wasn’t another Mexican food tourist trap. I am SO glad that we did.It is clear that the owner is intimately involved with the food that is served here. Ingredients are fresh, menu is easy to understand, and although there was not a kids specific menu, we were able to find some great options that both of our kids enjoyed.The Gnocchi al Pesto was probably the best gnocchi I’ve had in my entire life, and the prosciutto burrata was flavorful and absolutely delicious.We were able to walk right in and be seated immediately. Staff were all extremely friendly and attentive. Be prepared to wait a little bit for your food to arrive…I mention this not because it negatively impacted our experience, but because authentic, FRESH Italian food is made to order, takes time, and may not be expected by those of us used to an Americanized take on authentic Italian. I can’t wait for another trip to San Diego so that I can come back.Don’t hesitate…give this place a try!!Kid-friendliness: No kids menu, but plenty of great options that our 7 & 10 year olds enjoyed!“

“A very good taqueria in San Diego. The atmosphere made you feel like you were in a Mexican taqueria, the music, the staff. They make the tortillas on site and that changes the whole experience. I highly recommend the tacos al pastor. They have Mexican beer and Mexican soft drinks. I never recommend ordering tacos to go because they will become soggy and ugly. You have to eat them there. Highly recommended.“

“They are right outside a liquor store in a parking lot, which I love. Honestly, when I saw that, I knew I had to try them. They are open everyday starting at 5pm. They have a large variety of food options. We tried the asada and adobada. Probably the best weve had so far. It's very difficult to find good authentic tasting tacos in the U.S. in my opinion. These were so good that we're going to come back. They are family run and they are very nice.“

“Taquizas Los Crunches catered my birthday party on Saturday. The communication was great, they showed up on time, and the food was absolutely delicious. They have extra touches that many taco caterers. don't have like radishes a wonderful, cactus salad, fresh fruit drinks and the beans weren't refried. Everything was so fresh. Definitely hiring them again!“

“I always look forward to coming to this market place on the weekends anytime we're in San Diego. There are a ton of different food options, available, for meals and desserts. They also have local artist and vendors who make bags, robes, hats, jewelry, etc. The vibe is super chill, and everyone seems like they're here to just enjoy the sunshine, it's proximity to the water, and just hang out.I'm personally very committed to the bao buns from House of Bao and the dole whip. My kids love the shave ice from the Filipino truck (Lola's). Other faves have been the empanadas and the tacos.“

“I fancy myself a cookie connoisseur and wasn't expecting much when I ordered these cookies. I was pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed them. Will definitely order again. And I recommend them over CRUMBL cookies any day. They're not overly sweet or loaded with oil to keep them soft. Mixed box had Cookie Monster, Red Velvet, Lemon, Chocolate Chip, Birthday Cake, And a Salted . Caramel.Yum!“

“I’m camping at a Rv park in Jamul California and there is a man setting up his tent and getting ready to serve food. I’ve never had a bacon wrapped hotdog so I tried it plain with just mustardThe roll was great and the hotdog was high quality meat. I got to taste the bacon too.Jose was a great cook and serverI will be buying again next week when he returnsThis time I’ll add some extra toppings“

“I had been craving Middle Eastern food for a while and saw these guy at the night market event at Mission Valley mall. The food was so fresh and flavorful!I chatted with one of the guys behind the grill how much I had missed my family's cooking. He was very kind and gave me a generously sized piece of (what my family calls) kadaif. If you are ever fortunate enough to find these guys with a fresh batch, be sure to ask for a slice!“

“Quick, Easy, Delicious... the way it should be! It warms my heart to see a hot dog cart done right. Served with the same speed and intensity as in the city -- they knock it outta Yankee Stadium! You want a vegan dog? Get the hell outta here... only Sabretts!!“

“Awesome coffee! simple, high-quality pour overs and cold brew. Definitely for the coffee snobs looking for high quality coffee like you made it yourself at home. Wish they had a place like this at home. I will be getting coffee here every morning during my conference!“

“I've been coming to Jason's since I began taking classes and started working at SWC. They have an amazing tea & coffee selection with affordable prices. Something I truly enjoy is that they offer sugar-free & dairy-free options on all beverages. As for bakery items, my favorite has to be the jalapeño & cheddar cheese bagel with the spicy cream cheese (I believe all their cream cheeses are homemade which is a huge plus). OH and the spinach bagel is to die far as well, but it does sell out very quickly.“

“The flavor of the tri-tip nachos is excellent - lots of ingredients, and it's usually piled pretty high! The cost is right on par with everything else at the ball park - not cheap, but also not exorbitant. The line usually moves pretty fast, especially compared to some of the other vendors around. Nothing really to complain about here.“

“Note: This is a food stand that pops up at places, not sure if the physical address they list on their website actually serves food. Finally got to try this at the Vegan Oktoberfest at First Friday Night Market at Grossmont Center, my wife and I wanted to this it out when they had their weekly pop up at Sepentine Cider but that ended before we had a chance to get down there. Food was very tasty, they do a great job of creating a vegan alternative to Chinese food that looks legit and has the very similar flavors and textures, less the meat! We tried the Gua Bao Buns first, PERFECT! Not sure how they do it, but these look like almost like real pork belly, and flavors and textures were great! Definitely took the spotlight because this is a dish you wouldn't normally expect to look and taste this good. We also had the Sweet & Sour Pork, super tasty also, but it's a type of food that is more expected at a stand like this. So glad we finally got to try it, definitely worth it and will keep an eye out for their next pop up.“
