The Best Tacos in San Diego, According to a Local Food Expert | Eater San Diego

"Find a long list of vegetarian and vegan-friendly tacos at this perennially popular North Park Mexican restaurant. With blooms adorning the outdoor seating area, this restaurant keeps the vibrant atmosphere of Mexican restaurants alive with its black-and-white checkered floors, wooden motifs, a brick wall dotted with crosses, and hanging papel picado. Vegan diners can choose from a variety of filling options, among them: nopales, tofu, seasonal veggies, shiitake mushrooms, and vegan meats. Omnivores fear not, Rancho’s has plenty of traditional tacos and homestyle Mexican dishes as well, such as the camarón tacos with grilled shrimp, cabbage, tartar sauce, cream, and pico de gallo. Other taco dishes (with the choice of two or three tacos) include the Tj Tacos with carne asada, pollo asado, or chorizo — all three options are available in the vegan variations — shiitake or veggies dressed with pico, onions, cilantro, cilantro crema, and queso cotija." - Roxana Becerril
