The Best Tacos in San Diego, According to a Local Food Expert | Eater San Diego
"No taco exploration is complete without a stop at this old-school taqueria that’s respected on both sides of the border. This taco institution started in Tijuana before branching out to Chula Vista, Palm Avenue, the Gaslamp Quarter, and Las Vegas. The bustling late-night shop offers deeply flavored tacos stuffed with adobada, carne asada, cabeza, lengua, suadero, and more. Sopes, meat fries, and quesadillas are also on the menu. Diners can expect Tijuana taqueria influences and attributes of a traditional Mexican taco joint: a salsa bar loaded with fresh radishes and limes, a rotating trompo (vertical spit) for al pastor, and plenty of seating. This is one of San Diego’s highly visited restaurants for satisfying after-hour cravings (most locations close at 4 a.m. on Friday and Saturday, and at 2 a.m. the rest of the week), meaning that diners will want to prepare to wait in long but quickly moving lines when visiting during a night out." - Roxana Becerril
