This place is a bigger disappointment than 6 years ago when i went last, i’m only giving the food a 2 because the tortillas are hand made here. Supposedly this place was created by the Ex wife of Tacos El Gordo owner way back when and was meant to be better, it is very very far from being considered close to that level. The location was noisy with a broken sounding kitchen duct fan, the menu is toward the front where you get your food but the order and pay before you do is is 180 of that, the food is very low quality meat with lots of fat chunks and mostly flavorless. I got the least amount of meat in this $18 plate of adobada fries, you would think they’d be giving it away for how bad it was. Came here with 3 others who are local , born and raised in SD and all 4 of us said it was bad and usually at least one of us has a good thing to say about the food places we go to, except this time. We didn’t finish our food out of disgust, overpriced and low quality. I don’t even write food reviews and this place was so bad that I was compelled to leave this to warn people not to punish their taste buds and waste their time here. DO BETTER TACOS EL G.

It’s my second visit here at Tacos El G (Highland) with my two beautiful co-workers. Superb and delicious Adobada, Suadero and Cabeza. Staff are very accommodating. Looking forward to visit again and explore different tacos.

Very poor service. I 100% kept myself polite and respectful but their treatment and attitude was uncalled for. Stay away from their fries and their disgusting "guacamole Dip" The menu says it has guacamole and they put guacamole Dip instead. Very misleading and sketchy. The mulita was okay but overall I wouldn't come here just because of their attitude and very expensive. You don't just pay for food. But for service and none of it is worth it.
Solid tacos, every single thing in the menu is good!
