Worse burrito ever. This looks like a dirty diaper. The meat had the nastiest texture it was supposed to be carne asada but had the texture of shredded meat that was flavorless and the salsas were nothing to run home about. Please stop making Mexican food without knowing what you are doing. This went in the trash.

Food and service was awful. We look through tik tok and it comes up with this restaurant in San diego .we have very high hope for this but it was not worth trying .Never trust tik tok recommendations again !!

Here are the hours. Google needs to updated bc came here around lunch time and it was closed. Tried calling during business hours bc there was something unusual at location and no answer. And this seemed to be the only other contact way.

Please make sure your trash is not left in the alley. Community members are cracking down on businesses who are illegally dumping in our Hillcrest alleyways. We need a nice neighborhood and we want you to do your part in ensuring cleanliness. Business Community standards must improve.

Hey La Taqueria... I experienced these issues myself and took the pictures myself. This is a real review. You guys are trashing Hillcrest by illegally dumping in the alleyway around from your business? Most mornings your team leaves a disgusting mess in the alleyway. If this is how you treat your neighborhood, I can't imagine how disgusting your kitchen must be. You have the raimbow in your logo, but you have no neighborhood pride... Also, isn't this illegal? You're supposed to have a recycling dumpster, food waste dumpster, and trash dumpster... Instead you just want to turn our neighborhood into a dumpster!

It doesn't take long to figure out who is turning the heart of our neighborhood into a disgusting mess~ it's Burger Lounge Hillcrest and La Taqueria instagram.com/lataqueria… on the 400 block of University Ave. We have documented them illegally dumping in the alleyway for weeks and, despite us asking them to stop, they continue to do it. Neighborhood cleaning crews have spent hours cleaning up after these irresponsible businesses and in the heat of summer, it smells horrible and looks disgusting! We need to send a clear message to these businesses that it's not ok to make money off Hillcrest while at the same time trashing our neighborhood. We are working with area property owners to clean up the south end of the alley and get tags removed; we're connecting with City and County officials to begin enforcement actions; but these daily dumpings must stop! Share this post, let your friends know that this is acceptable, and tell these businesses that it's not ok to trash Hillcrest!

Very good food and drinks. Food kinda spicy but loved it. Good vibes ambiance but outdoors with shade so may be hot in summer

Food was excellent Great service Great atmosphere Most definitely coming back asap Alex Aguilar Whittier Ca
We were craving some late night food and found this Mexican restaurant while visiting San Diego. We ordered Carne Asada burritos and Carne Asada Tortas. Both items were delicious and the portions were pretty generous. The burrito was filled with Carne Asada meat, cooked perfectly, with pico de gallo, guacamole, onions and cilantro. I really liked how they didn't offer rice and beans as part of their burritos (this is just my preference). The Tortas were very large and my kids loved them! Sorry no pic. They offer a variety of drinks, Aguas Frescas, soda, beer and Margaritas. The Service and employees were great and the food came out pretty fast. They did however run out of hot salsa, which was ver tasty, probably because it was closer to closing time, but lots of Verde salsa. Orders do not come with tortilla chips, nor do they offer them. The place was clean and spacious and had nice decoration inside. Lots of seating inside. Menu was nicely painted on the wall. Come try this place next time you're out late and craving some Mexican food. Happy Nom Nom!

Delicious taco shop!! The rolled tacos were just the right crispness - extra crispy but not burnt, with loads of cool lettuce (not watery like some places), plenty of cheese, and yummy guac. The others in my group has chicken burrito (shredded and loved it), vampiros and mulitas. All of it was tasty.Hot sauce was perfect - little thick, not watery. And it was hot! So good.Staff was really nice. Definitely will be back!

We stopped in at 9:45pm on a Sunday evening with a huge to go order (15 hungry people waiting at the hotel after ucsd graduation). The orders were filled exactly right and the food was wonderful. Would definitely go back again!

Taqueria Tijuana is on the come up don't be fooled. I went here a few times in the restaurants early days and felt like although the staff were awesome the food could've been more flavor packed. I just went at 1:30 am and can report the al pastor is kicking, and they kept a loaded condiment section full of fresh limes which is a huge plus. I can see what some people are saying about the vibe being off with the bright lights but it's always nice and clean inside and the people working are just super nice. Definitely worth a try if you're out and about in hillcrest.
