“It was good to visit this place that, because it is so close to the border, previously had the problem of being a point of contact for polleros and pirate transportation to Los Angeles and neighborhoods places in California and I was surprised that there is no longer that type of clientele, it is clean of strange movements and safety in the parking lot and interior, I recommend it“
“Truly the best birria taco I’ve ever had combined with wonderful service and hospitality makes this a must visit for anyone in San Diego, even if it’s out of the way.We got the combo with 4 different types of birria taco and all of them were spectacular. The queso and chupacabra were my personal favourites but I’m not sure you could go wrong with anything here. Two tacos will fill you up. Four will make you ready to burst at the seams. The birria is so tender, juicy, and flavourful without being overseasoned (which is one of the pitfalls a lot of these places have). The consommé is to die for- spectacularly flavourful, rich, meaty, without being overly fatty. You could really drink it as a soup. Get the agua fresca to wash it all down and to help cut through the richness of the birria.Even leftover hours later, these tacos were absolutely incredible. What’s telling is also when cooled, you don’t see the standard layer of fat you might see on the consommé from other places. Really high quality stuff from people who have been making this for clearly a very long time and who have it down to an artWe were also the only foreign people there but they were extremely friendly and patient with explaining each of their choices and their recommendations. Really a super warm, family run place that deserves all of its incredible accolades.“
“Must visit if you are in the area. These tacos are DELICIOUS! Don’t expect a quick Taquería, these tacos are made to order with care. The corn tortillas are soft and clearly handmade, the fish has the perfect ratio of meat to crisp, and the slaw toppings are extremely thoughtful and unique.Big time recommend!Vegetarian options: Have a mushroom taco that is delicious!“
“I actually went to the hot dog stand. They have bacon wrapped hot dogs just like in Tj with mayo, mustard, ketchup, tomatoes, and sautéed onions. The onions were perfectly over sautéed which made the hot dog very good and to my liking. You can say authentic Tj street dogs are served here. Can't wait to go back for their street burgers.“
“Al Pastor Town truely lives up to their name as they offer 5 unique types of Al pastor meats and more. I was there when they opened at noon and got the Al Pastor Roio Burrito.Service was pretty slow but the staff were great. Eventually, I got the burrito and took the most blissful first bite. The burrito was packed with meat where every bite caused juices to come gushing out and cover every taste bud. Just when I thought it couldn't get better, I tried using their 2 sauces: salsa verde (not very spicy) and what I think is mango habanero (spicier). The owner really played matchmaker because the burrito and the sauces was a complete match. 5/5 I'll need to come back and try the rest of the flavors.Atmosphere was great imo but is not for everybody. The place is inside a mart and is not really a place to sit down and dine.“
“This place is delicious!!! I was impressed with the service and quality of the food! Tacos El Gordo and Ahumaderas is a 1 out of 5 compared to this place! I didn’t even know this place existed until family members came from out of state and we looked for a good taco place. Their carne asada and adobada is DELICIOUS! The agua frescas are so good and the churros yum yum yum! You must try!“
“The adobada is a must try when you're here! I got one but I suspect I should have gotten two... and maybe the adobada fries. I will be back! It's a bit confusing for your first time, but the security guards are great at directing people into the respective meat lines to order. If possible, I would also ask for extra onions and cilantro since they seem to skimp on this a bit. Ambience: I can see how it gets busy in here, by the time I was done with both meat lines I was able to snag a seat by the window counter. Everyone I interacted with who worked there was friendly, patient and helpful.“
“Probably the healthiest grab-and-go option on the beach! Service was fast and friendly. The ceviche was delicious and fresh. The inside of the restaurant was cute and clean, but it's so close to the beach that I found a bench with an ocean view to eat at. I want to try the shrimp tacos next.“
“This place is authentic, delicious, fast, and affordable. Everything you could ever want in your neighborhood Mexican place, and much better than some over hyped places like tacos El Gordo or Oscars.The location is a bit sketchy, but like come on... Isn't that where the best Mexican food is? And like when I'm done eating, you can feel it on the way out the next day if you know what I mean, but that only adds to the excellence that is Humerto's! But actually though, I wouldn't overdo it on their salsa as it can be quite spicy.Overall, I'd absolutely recommend this as a go to quick take out place for authentic and cheap Mexican food!“
“Great music and even better food. The Adobada is fantastic and they run a deal on Mondays for it. The carne asada was also very good. Taco Machin is the local favorite. They are hand making the tortillas and chips. Everything is wonderful. This place is “
“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.“
“Was looking to grab some quick takeout mexican and came across this spot right off the 163 and gennesse. Its a food truck semi permanently parked on the American legion parking lot on the corner. Menu is limited, even more so when they told me thier fryer was down. So I ordered 2 tacos and the quesadilla. Total with tax and tip was $20. This better be some dam goood birria for that price. Took a seat while waiting for my food, they have a few bar tops with high chairs scattered under a pop up awning as well as a 2 tables with 4 chairs set up. Not too long later they brought out my food telling me that the hot sauce was also in there. Got home and opened up the bag and was immediately disappointed in the portion sizes. Even the hot sauce they included was underwhelming. It was first time I had gotten hot sauce in baggies like I was buying some drugs. Reminded me of baggies of crack you see on tv and in movies being sold o the streets. Pretty funny until you realize this is no where near enough sauce for a meal. I first tried the taco, with the red hot sauce. The taco was good, good tasting birria and fresh onions and cilantro, and a nice tasting tortilla. The hot sauce didn't even last a single taco. Up next is the quesadilla. This was the highlight of my meal. Cheesy meaty goodness, this was worth the $10 price tag. Plenty of cheese, plenty of meat, great flavor. Overall good food but the portion size is a little off for the price. Definitely ask for more hot sauce. 2 dime bags isn't enough.“
“Mariscos & Birria El Prieto is a go-to establishment in the heart of Main St. Chula Vista. The setting consists of two food trucks, each of which specializes in either Mexican seafood dishes or land and air. The food from both trucks is very tasty. The aguas frescas are very refreshing too. The consome stand is a free for all great addition as a side or enjoy while you wait for your orders to be ready. The staff is super friendly and so are the customers. I always make new friends when I go there.“
“It is a different concept from the food truck because it has tables with shade and covers in case it is windy so you can enjoy your food in a very pleasant way with a very affordable price and a really wide variety of dishes, mainly seafood, although they also sell meat and Birria, which is a typical Mexican dish, prices range from $3.50 to seafood dishes of more than $80 for several people. The shrimp burrito is very tasty and I highly recommend it, and the staff is very friendly.“
“Very nice place, recommended without a doubt, starting with the small but comfortable place, very clean, the service provided very well, a very extensive complete menu, shrimp tacos and chilled octopus, I recommend it! A variety of drinks from sodas to beer, a place to go alone as a couple or as a family!VERY FAST FOOD DELIVERY!Wheelchair accessibility: A place suitable for people in wheelchairs, children and seniors!“

“Very flavorful dishes, excellent presentation, unique ambiance, and staff is extremely polite. I ordered the birriaquiles with low expectations thinking that this was not the right place to order them, and boy was I proven dead wrong.Would highly recommend, I'll have to try the rest of the menu, given the great overall first experience. Kudos to Jose, the waiter for his sense of humor!“
“I ordered the asada tacos and asada chips from Door Dash. Let me tell you, the food is super tasty. The tacos were packed with meat and there was more meat than chips in the asada chips. They chopped up the asada for the chips making it easier to eat. This is a hidden gem for sure! Hands down the closest I've gotten to tacos in TJ. 10 out of 10!!!!!“
“If you're a fan of shrimp, especially shrimp tacos, then this is the spot for you. However, I must warn you, the parking situation here is dreadful. The layout is poorly designed and extremely tight. In our case, we opted to wait in our car while our friend went down to place our order. I would highly recommend exploring other locations to avoid the hassle of dealing with parking here. Fortunately, luck was on our side as a car right in front of us was leaving, allowing us to snag a spot. The restaurant itself is also quite small. Despite its size, we managed to secure a seat and enjoyed observing the workers crafting fresh tortillas by hand. The sauce bar was also really good. I recommend trying them all to see which ones you like. I ordered a baja (battered fish) taco and a camaron (spicy shrimp) taco. While the baja taco was enjoyable, it was the camaron taco that truly impressed me. Its delicious flavor had me devouring it in no time. I wish I ordered more the first time around, but I didn't want to endure another wait in line. I'm genuinely looking forward to returning, perhaps to a different location to bypass the troublesome parking situation!“
“Daughter was craving Tacos el Gordo, so my baby girl got it! And of course, me too. I live right around the corner from tacos Ahumaderas , haven't went there at all. Doesn't interest me at all. Thank youParking: Few parkings. But I've always found a parking .“
“Our family has used Tacos & Gorditas catering for many occasions. They were recommended to us for our wedding. They did not disappoint. Their communication, the flexibility, the details, their punctuality, the service were more than we could have asked for. Not to mention the food! Everyone is still raving about the antojitos/appetizers & tacos. We are forever grateful for Tacos & Gorditas, their team was professional and made our wedding extra special! Thank you again!!!“
“The owner was awesome. My wife and I got the rolled tacos with beef and requested adobada and carne asada on top. It was amazing.I had asked how the carnitas were and he told me, honestly, they are from last night and so they are not very fresh. So I would not order them as I have another batch cooking. He said he only wants to serve his customers the best.I absolutely believe him! Thank up for the great food!“
“Grab and go burritos for $2?! Yes, please. I'm always on a rush and being able to just go in and choose a delicious burrito without waiting is amazing. The burritos are small, but they remind me the home style burritos my mom used to make me. These burritos are flavorful and filling. It looks like they have a drive up section and a cooler . Probably for early risers! They also have taco Tuesday $2 tacos! I'll be coming back to try those for sure!“
“I am not going to lie but those Birria quesa-tacos and the consomé uff hit on the spot ???????????????? best birria!!! The service is perfect, they treat you really well, This my new to go spot when I am craving birria 10/10.Parking: Is next to a store so. He has a lot a parking. You will not struggle for parking“
“Taco Lounge is our favorite local taco shop! They serve high quality ingredients each and every time! The staff is kind, consistent & super efficient. My favorite is the grilled shrimp taco. They use fresh avocados & the best chipotle sauce! My daughter's favorite is the carne asada tacos (& occasionally carne asada fries). We also love the Birria taco (pictured) & consommé. We dine-in often and do take-out as well. Both dining options are great. Taco Lounge is clean & inviting. The staff sets you up with all of the necessary condiments. We appreciate everyone at Taco Lounge! Both locations! (Photo from Escaya location)“
“Raspados Are really good. The vanilla one is amazing. what I really do appreciate is the fact that they fill it up halfway and they put lechera in the middle, and then they add the lechera on top as well. It's the Lil things. Will be coming back :)“
“I recommend the best birria tacos in California to my friends. I am very special about food. I am a taquero. I love tacos, but you know that here in the United States it is difficult to find good tacos, but I felt like I was in Tijuana eating these. Taquitos of very tasty birria I recommend them to ?Parking: Excellent, very spacious without any problem“
“A simple good little place to get a quick bite. Had a bean, cheese, potato and egg burrito that was enormous for less than 10 dollars! Didn't eat anything the rest of the day, didn't need to. The salsas were tasty. Very good deal. Can't beat it.“
“I have only been to the one in IB. The tacos are on point. Both regular priced and the ones on special. Their carne asada tacos are way better than El Gordo. Their adobada was very good too. Their fish tacos are pretty good. Service is always great.“
“Super delicious tacos, the best in San Diego, excellent customer service, super delicious, the sauces, super complete, ready to taste something incomparable to try, I would definitely return to this pleasant placeKid-friendliness: Very familiar place“
“Mannn the most underrated Birria spot! Their tacos are huge and amazing ! The gentleman at the window helped me and explained the menu to me. My wife got stuffed carne asada potato and she loved it. They have available seating which is rare for a food truck. Definitely coming back “
“Quick service, good hospitality, and delicious food! Seating is entirely outside which is nice and comfy. Booths are mostly clean and perfect for a bite to eat with a friend or two. Parking is not huge but enough. Hot sauces are super tasty. Mini tacos are my favorite, and carne asada and adobada are my protein choices. Grilled chicken and shredded chicken are decent. Carnitas tacos are great too. Guacamole is great. Fresh finely diced onions and cilantro are the perfect garnish.“
“Had 2 Tacos Dorados de Birria and a "soft" Taco de birria both very good but I will say the Taco Dorado is the way to go. Delicious and and the right amount of crunch. Will definitely be back to try the tortas next time. I will update this review with my torta review next time I go with more pictures.“
“TACOS AL VAPOR is my absolute favorite. Many people have no clue what they are missing. This spot had the most delicious tacos filled with shredded beef and soft potatoes. The salsas are hot and mild red. I tried both and loved each one the same. Each taco is $3.00 you can't beat that for a taco that tasted just like it's from Tijuana. Customer service was just as great. Very friendly you can tell he loves what he does. Please come by and support he deserves to be recognized.“
“Great people and amazing food. I love the hot salsas Christian has to offer. I’ve tried asking for the ingredients so I can make them myself and he won’t budge. So here I am eating tacos and tortas twice a week just so I can get my craving satisfied. When it’s rib eye Thursday the tacos with chimichuri sauce are so delicious. I don’t add any salsa to it because they’re just so perfect (chef kiss). I’d recommend this place when you’re in the area. Bring your kids and there is a picnic table you can eat at outside. Follow them on instagram so you can get updates on when he has rib eye taco options.Parking: Street parking“
“The cousin's cake is finger-lickin' good. They do not know what they lose. An unforgettable experience like what mom used to do. I asked for it without pansita and with a lot of Cayo. The food is a hundred. Everyone go!Parking: Great FREE parkingWheelchair accessibility: Forks“
“The adobada is out of this world! I work on third ave and I've tried nearly all options for food in the area. It gets busy here sometimes but the wait is worth it. Located in the middle of third ave you can take your food to any number of local bars, or enjoy people watching eating near the trailer. I mean business when I say these are consistently some of the best tacos I have ever tasted. The juiciness and sweet flavoring will get you hooked. My name is Anthony and I am addicted to this delicious family owned business.“
“La mejor birria en San Diego sin duda alguna. La tortilla perfectamente crujiente, el sabor de la birria esta perfecta, consome esta delicioso, las salsitas al fregaso. Muy buena atencion al cliente. El muchacho que nos ayudo estuvo al pendiente y brindado muy buen servicio. Hay demasiado estacionamiento asi que nunca hemos tenido problema. Los precios son justos especialmente porque los tacos estan BIEN reportados. 100% recomendados.Amazing service and delicious food! can't wait to go there again!!“
“Who doesn't love Mexican food? On a cold day it was inviting to enjoy a hot Fish Burrito. It's a large burrito. I ate only half. My first time ordering this dish.The hot sauce was ? great. Got the Habanero and mixed it with the mild. Then later just used the Habanero.I like spicy!!! And it Rocked!!!“
“The service is good, they don't take long to deliver your food even when there are many people, they take little time compared to other placesParking: It is close to the vehicle, it does not take even 15 steps to get from the vehicle to where they serve.“
“The food took time and was worth the wait. I ordered the machaca burrito. It was big and flavorful. The shrimp cocktail is a steal as well for the size and price. The fish tacos are also a good size. My kids enjoyed their meals as well. Quesadilla with rice and carne asada fries. The guy who helped us was very friendly and helped us order. They also played nice music. They played Banda. Will go back. Hidden gem next to little Caesar's. I had drove past without notice. Glad we saw and tried it!“
“its a good place to eat & chill the bathrooms are usually well tended though you do get customers that are absolute SLOBS but thats not the worker's fault. Overall I recommendVegetarian options: Great salads but ordering Julian Chicken is not emphasized to avoid the $2 extra chargeParking: Safe & plenty of spaces“
