45 Best Mexican Restaurants in Oceanside

“The Quesabirra tacos and carne asada plate were incredibly delicious. Very generous portions and very reasonable prices. The owner was very personable and a pleasure to talk with. We are from Arizona, but if we lived around here, this would definitely be one of our "go-to" spots! Thank you!“

“The nicest people with the best food!!“

“Ate here for the first time last evening after driving past it many times up and down Oceanside Blvd. All I can say is "Incredible!!" We parked our car, walked into the grass carpeted area and felt like we were no longer on Oceanside Blvd. The area they have set up with tables, fame heaters and a large screen TV is great. It is immaculate, and actually cleaner than a lot of local restaurants I've been in. The young lady who helped us since it was our first time, was excellent. She was making sure the condiment area was supper clean, I could have eaten off of it, lol. She had a great smile and was very welcoming as she helped us with answering our questions about the menu. The food was excellent, and the portions were great. Pricing was excellent and we will definitely be back. Again, both the area and truck are immaculate and the cleanest I've ever seen. Thank you, Gaby's Tacos, for an excellent "truck" dining experience!! If you have not stopped but keep wondering about it, give it a chance and support a local business.“

“What an amazing place to eat, fresh food and great service. Shout out to Mike, what an amazing gentleman always checking up on customers and making sure everything is top notch. Best food in the county.“

“Great food! Nice chill atmosphere! Very nice cashier lady!
The only negative side is that looks like we were overcharged (which noticed only back home). 1 burrito, 2 tacos, chips, super small rice & beans = approx $43.
Besides that - it was very tasty & nice. Will go there again 👍“

“Staff is really friendly and just great in general. The food is equally amazing! I get the surf and turf burrito almost every week at some point. Their salsa is on point as well. Definitely worth trying! Also, pricing is super reasonable compared to other similar spots.“

“My go to place when I’m in Oceanside! Love the food, atmosphere, and the margaritas!“

“wow!! great food, great experience! order inside and then go outside and watch them cook it fresh!!!“

“Breakfast lunch and dinner in one meal“

“Upon entering the establishment at the last moment, alongside my closest acquaintances, I maintained a sense of neutrality regarding what to expect from the experience. To my pleasant surprise, what unfolded was far beyond my initial assumptions. I discovered not just a meal, but a new benchmark for what I consider exceptional food. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the service we received was exemplary. The staff was remarkably attentive, ensuring that our needs were met with promptness and a genuine eagerness to enhance our dining experience.

The authenticity of the food was truly noteworthy; it evoked cherished memories of home-cooked meals from my childhood and made me feel a deep sense of nostalgia. Each dish was prepared with a level of care and skill that reflected a true understanding of culinary traditions. As a result of this delightful experience, I felt compelled to share my positive impressions. I wholeheartedly recommend this fine establishment to all my friends and family, confident that they too will appreciate the quality of food and service that I encountered. It has undeniably set a new standard for my future dining experiences.“

“one of my favorite places. great Mexican food“

“Omg where do I start I started seeing you guys post about opening in Oceanside since day 1 when you guys were seeing the place then starting to get everything together ; the mural, and then when you guys finally opened I told my husband there gonna open a Mexican restaurant in Oceanside that sells Guadalajara style food we were both so excited because my husband is from guanatos city baby!!! We finally got the chance to try the food in October of 2021; let me just tell you that the most excited I was about was to try the carne en su jugo and when I tried it I fell in love again because that is my favorite Guadalajara plate; it was so good I finished it all ; also tried the birria tacos omg those were so good too I really recommend this place; when we ate here they gave us a free jericalla and it was also so good!! I will definitely come back to this place every time I go to California it's gonna be our favorite place to eat in Oceanside. I was born in Oceanside so I was also excited to go back again to where I was born!!! You guys really have good customer service and really great food and also the lady at the front gave us some free stickers I think she's the owner but I'm not sure but we put those on my husbands truck in Alaska. Anyways I love guanatos city baby and happy 1st year anniversary!!“

“This is the home of the original Anita's. The original chips and salsa, just like the old one down by the movie theater downtown. Not as fancy as the newer Anita's on PCH, but original feel and food. And don't forget the margaritas!!“

“Just about the Best dang carne asada burrito I've ever eaten. I went here 4x in a week last time i was in SD.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING chili Verde carnitas plate. I have never had anything THIS good. EVER.

I come here straight from the airport when i land in San Diego. This is the BEST location.

Awesome staff. Fast service. I spoke with a nephew of the owner here and he was very appreciative of my praise and very receptive to feedback. There's nothing negative about my experience here, at all. It's simply an amazing establishment.“

“Delicious food and friendly customer service!“

“Conpan̈Eros, the cashiers are not rude, it depends on how you order your order, your tickets, they have someone who will give you a drag, not because they have a voice. If you know how to blar, don't put more. Ai, cameras, I know who you are.“

“Pretty restaurant on the water that overlooks the harbor.

We had a group of thirty so they asked us to come during the non-busy time and we enjoyed lunch at 3pm.

Our servers did a good job of keeping drinks full and bringing the food out quickly. We had a couple of small problems (cold food and wrong items) but they were resolved right away.

The interior is pretty and has a bunch of signs with silly sayings.“

“Good food. Pleasant host. Plenty of space. It’s good to have a restaurant in this area. Parking, dine in or carry out. My first time I only had a burrito because it was almost time to close the kitchen. But now that I’ve been there I will definitely be going back.“

“My favorite Mexican fast food“

“It's delicious and everything but they get a little confused about the orders and they can give you something you didn't ask for, I mean we all have mistakes but if from the beginning you make it completely clear what you want you won't have any problems ?“

“Good Mexican food! Clean, nice restaurant with friendly staff. Chicken soup, rice, and bee tacos are really good! Carne asada burrito isn’t what I’m used to in a burrito. Probably wouldn’t get again. The meat isn’t traditional carne asada. Rest of the food was really good and we’d get it again.“

“Family owned and operated. Classic family recipes from central Mexico with a So Cal flare. Homemade tortilla chips, salsa and sauces! Support our local restaurants!!! You will be happy you did!!“

“great beach side place. Mexican treats.“

“So good. I love Moe's and all the other resturants, the place is clean, there's plenty of options, and the food is great. Johnny Rockets needs a bit of cleaning but it's pretty good. Moe's southwest grill is great and fresh texmex food, tacos, burritos, wraps, and all of the food comes with free nachos and queso or guac. Reccomend tacos.“

“A refuge from the current dystopian HELLSCAPE of $18 disappointing burritos. Diebertos dont play that game; $9-12 burritos that are forearm-sized, good salsa bar, quality meats, excellent rice & beans. Mucho Gras Dieberto! Bien hecho!“

“Great place, great service“

“Muy rica comida, nunca e salido decepcionada de esté restaurante, ademas el dueño muy atento y humilde eso aprecio demasiado siempre disfruto estar aqui“

“Waiting in the cue for my haircut near by, I popped in and took advantage of a taco special. Opted for al pastor with a Modelo. I am completely sold on this place!! Go here.
Salsa bar is dialed, the tacos had TWO TORTILLAS and it was reasonably priced. No wait. Great staff!“

“Delicious blackened mahi mahi tacos!“

“Very Friendly Nice customer service“

“Great food! The workers were polite and the atmosphere was laid back.“

“A convenient Taco fast food joint located right off the highway. Counter service or drive-thru ordering.

Found this spot through Google when searching local taco spots. The food is decent with many Mexican dish options. The Famous Fish tacos are pretty good and I recommend over the carne asada. The chips that come with a fiesta meal (chips and salsa added) are okay but they don't look or taste like fresh. Rather, they look and taste like store-bought. The rice and beans that came with a meal were tasty. However the portion sizes of the rice and beans could be increased. The fresh mild salsa is really good. The bean and cheese burrito was good.

There are plenty of places to sit down. Some with really nice window views looking at the small airplanes take off from the runaway across the street. It can be a bit noisy inside the dining area with a TV and different music going on.

Customer service was really friendly. Sergio welcomed us with a smile.

The location is somewhat shared with a gas station so it's convenient if you need to fill-up. The restroom could use some attention.

Parking: Parking is conveniently located in front of store.

Kid-friendliness: No real kids menu but the food here is enjoyable for kids too.“
