Aiberto's Taco Shop

I have a lot of things to say. 1st, the burnt peaces of idk what on my burrito and you can’t say it’s carne because I ordered without carne because I’m vegetarian. The fries are really greasy, they get mad when you ask for more salsa when they only give you 2. The salsa is too watery, the tortilla is not cooked well, the fries are overcooked and look brown and old and the cheese doesn’t melt. Don’t recommend. Will never go again👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

This is the best Mexican food! I love this place. I wish we had one where i now live in GA. I really miss this food and the people are always so nice. Great staff and owners.

This taco shop has been around since I was a kid growing up in the neighborhood. As I grew up, I started to realize, there are better options if you have transportation. Don’t get me wrong. If you’re out late at night and hungry, the counter and drive-thur is open 24/7. Their a little pricey for the quality of food they have. There’s no consistency, the carne asada fries are either under or overcooked. The mean is not seasoned enough and tastes like it’s been sitting on the grill. You get the basic cheese and guaca. You will need to ask for pico de gallo at an extra cost. The best thing on their menu is their California Burrito. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this as my top favorite taco chain restaurant. If you’re drunk or coming home after a long night. This might be a good option for you, also the drive thur is poorly placed and you will block the intersection is a thing to note as well. No uber eats or door-dash options available.

Food is good its mostly busy but the service is fast thru drive thru. But most of the time theres homeless sitting at their lunch table and asking customers for money.

Don't order the rolled tacos. They're the saddest tacos I've ever had...if you're trying to eat rolled tortillas with literally a tiny, thinner than a slim Jim portion amount of meat, literally there was 4 layers of tortilla before you get to the meat. I had to take pictures and send to my coworker because we've all worked at taco shops... it was literally meme worthy material. I've eaten other stuff here and it's great, but the rolled tacos bring shame to Mexican food . Do better guys smh

City Heights On University Avenue , My Breakfast Burrito Was Unimaginably Good ! Sausage , Bacon , Ham , Cheese And Egg ! I'll Be Back . . . Their Sauce Needs A Badly Upgrade , No Flavor Or Spice In It . . . Thank You , Ray A

I placed a relatively simple order and it was done wrong. I ended up just eating the food anyway. It was mediocre at best. There's definitely better places out there.

Ordered burrito with rice beans. No favor full of burnt meat with no avocado. Save your money!!!!

Bomb deliciousness!!!!! My fave are: Pollo asado: Tortas Burrito Tacos Carne asada torta Carnitas combo plate Service is wonderful!!! Everyone is homie Af! Ambiance is mom and pop magick. City heights is shifting and evolving fast. Mahalo to halo house and shifting the vibes Af! Mahalo beauties xoxoxo

Holy crap this food is bad. It was like they dumped a cup of water and oil allover my food. I took one bite and threw it out. I was happier to go to bed hungry than have a second bite of this greasy soggy mess. It's cheap and convenient, but still not worth to it.

What can I say...I've given this place 3 chances and each time they disappoint. I gave it a chance because it is so close to home but eh..im done. At first I thought maybe it's the time that I choose to come to this place but nahhh it's just consistently ass. The salsa is terrible too. Portions are skimpy and the Horchata was definitely watered down. Not worth the price.

Solid Mexican spot close to our apartment and a good option for late night grinds after going to the bars/clubs. There hasn't been a single visit where there hasn't been a line, so there's usually a wait, but it's worth it. The staff is always friendly, no matter what time we stop in. The burritos are a good size and the tortas are awesome. Fresh ingredients, with good flavors, and the service is great. We're always stoked to stop by, knowing that the food is going to be good. My only complaint would be that the line builds from different directions (around the corner, across the street etc.) making it somewhat stressful to get into line without being yelled/honked at by other cars who are just trying to pass by.

Went there today after being there for a while. OMG. THE FOOD IS HORRIBLE THERE. NO TASTE, NO FLAVOR. We ordered a California and Carne Asada Burrito, just HORRIBLE. Don't waste your HARD EARNED MONEY by going there. They don't even have AVOCADO SAUCE. Unbelievable. Carne Asada Burrito

if i could leave half a star i would, i asked & paid for "extra" rice, beans & adobada. did not receive said "extra". highly disappointed in this & do not recommend. $16.10 was a waste of money.

I have been coming to this taco shop since I can remember. But lately the food and service quality has been ridiculously bad. Whoever is the cook now does not give a F***. The way my torta was wrapped I thought they gave me a burrito. Sloppy greasy bread made me nauseous . Never again! So sad because this has been my childhood place. What an embarrassment to the neighborhood honestly

The food is not nasty but salty asf!!! Got some nachos but man they were more salty than my ex why because these people don't know how to make food!!! Smh. Disappointed tbh why is the food so salty it's not even that hard to seasoned food taste test before serving smh don't go to this spot unless you want high blood pressure!!!!

The most nastiest tacos I've ever tasted. I ordered 2 fish tacos and to taco Asada. The lettuce even had an after taste. Fish was hard. I didn't even eat them that's how gross these tacos are. I don't ever recommend this place.

My go to place when in San Diego for a California burrito. Been coming here for over 15 years and the service is good. Food is quickly made and always taste good.

All I have to say is I personally never ate here and never will. The lady at the register came at me like I was the reason she hated life, but besides that... all I wanted was to order a bean & cheese burrito for my sister. My sister was flying back home and didn't get a chance to eat so she text me like yo I'm starving can you please get me a bean & cheese burrito.. of course I'm like I got you fam there's a drive thru right by my house I'll stop on the way... Im thinking in all honesty, you cannot mess up a bean & cheese burrito but I guess that's where I f'ed up, because you definitely can and this place did that. My sister ate the burrito (she was starving) then she asks me, where did I get it, and to never go there again She said the beans weren't even cooked but she ate it because she couldn't help it ‍ If you want a good burrito and don't want to get A bunch of bad vibes from employees then skip this place.

This place might not look like much, but the couple of times I've been there, it hasn't disappointed! I always get the chorizo con huevo burrito and add beans and fries and it is always fire! I don't know if I just get lucky but the service is always great! I've yet to try some of their other items on the menu but so far so good!

Love this spot! They're open 24/7 so my late night craving of carne Asada fries always get fulfilled! They staff here are very nice and the service is very quick!

The one and only taco shop I go to in the city !! They got hands down the best carne asada fries out there . Always super fast and never get my orders wrong

Service and food is trash! You will be waiting forever with no one even in line. If you didn't order sauce at window you will not get it when you way. Wtf.

I was really hungry the last time I went to this place so I decided to add pollo asado tacos on top of my usual order of carne asada fries. This really is the only place I'm getting carne asada fries now. My brother used to rave about Lolita's carne asada fries, but I haven't had those in a long while and frankly, they put too much cheese on it for my taste. Anyway, I ended up mixing the tacos with the fries. I would even sometimes put fries in the tacos, which added a different, interesting texture. But the tacos are big so I got full really fast. The thing is, the tacos need to be finished in one sitting because it's pretty awful as leftovers. The tortillas get really hard, even when I tried to bake them in the oven. So yeah, I'll maybe try another flavor of taco with the fries next time.

I grew up in city heights . I've never liked this taco shop, today I was in a hurry and had to stop and get some food . Same as always , no flavor in food , I hate the salsa here . It lazy salsa , water and pepper . No seasoning at all. Just 0/0 tbh.

I had the pleasure of eating a Carne Asada Burrito From Here & Let Me Tell You I Was Impressed.

I love this shop because it is open 24 hours and it satisfies my cravings. The service is always good. I love their horchata, rolled tacos, beef tacos, bean and cheese burrito, and carne asada burrito with cheese.

Come on guys, yall are slipping with your food. I was soo hungry and as I started eating I was like these are weird, kept going because the cheese, guacamole and lettuce cover up the suspiciousness...got to one that didn't have topping and no mames! If I wanted a rolled tortilla with a slim jim...nah thinner than slim Jim portion of meat...I'd eat at home. Do better guys, this is just embarrassing from one taco shop employee to another.

I keep trying this place only because it's close. I give! My whole family give's! You could count on the rolled tacos being good if you like to pay for fried corn tortillas with old guacamole and wilted lettuce and no meat this place is for you. I also ordered fish tacos omg! Disgusting!!! I couldn't even eat them. They put some kind of sweet red sauce for the cream sauce I want to say it was ketchup and mayo a.k.a thousand island. I don't want that on my fish taco and lettuce who puts lettuce on a fish taco cabbage people, cabbage goes with fish. Only good thing is the salsa. They need to just go! Way tooooo much money and no care about what they are serving you.

I don't know if it's a common thing across Taco Shops in San Diego but I've been feeling like it is. Everywhere I go is undercooked fries with the Carne Asada Fries order or Cali Burrito. I'll tell you what though, this place has NEVER failed to always give me undercooked fries with every order i get. Maybe it's because I mostly come late night, but I highly doubt it. The fries are damn near still hard and look like they were dipped in oil for 10 seconds.

One of very few places still open when my bf and I get home from work, we stop by pretty often now bc the food is consistently delicious and doesn't mess us up like other restaurants. The ladies are always super nice and friendly despite it being 12 at night they always have v positive attitudes

Standard order: 1 carne asada fries + sour cream (paid extra) Came home to mediocre carne asada fries, zero sour cream.... thieves.

I am not from the area and stopped here because of the drive thru and to try some local food. I got the chicken enchiladas and 5 rolled tacos. Both of these were not excellent but did help satiate my hunger. I would have appreciated a different variety of salsas rather than 5 of the exact same hot salsa. Additionally, the cheese on top of the enchiladas was just shredded cheese places on top. I accepted it to at least be melted. I was happy to try a new place however some changes should be made to the food to make it better.

Food is ok. Your basic Mexican hole in the wall. This last visit I had a craving for nachos. I ordered the carne asada nachos which consist of chips, avocado, and carne asada. The chips were ok and carne asada was good. Service is quick. The drive up window was packed with the line wrapped around the building. I decided to park and walk up. On a Friday night, this was faster than sitting in the drive thru line. The drive thru line can back up onto the street if is busy and since it almost sits on the corner, it can back up out on University Blvd. Parking is almost non existent as the only available parking is street parking and the street is mostly apartments and single family homes. I got lucky and there was a space right open directly across the street. There is no indoor seating. You order at the window and there are several tables out front. Place is well lit and located right next to a busy intersection.

Bad customer service Food quality not great 1 Star for convenience. Open 24 hours and easy drive they. The lady worker seems like she hates her job. Doesn't listen and always has an attitude. Do not order the nachos. Worse nachos I have ever had. Carne asada nachos to be exact. It's basically nachos with a sprinkle of cheese and meat. It's like salt BaE came over and sprinkled stuff on it. Waste of money. The burrito was ok at best. Actually no. It made my stomach hurt. Let's just say my best friend was the toilet that night. Will not come here again.

Disgusting! Vegetarians beware! I ordered a bean and cheese burrito and there was pieces of meat in it! I don't eat meat and this unhappy surprise made me want to barf!!

This taco shop is depressing. The food is so simple, no flavor. Waste of money, I was eating a non flavored carne asada burrito. I've came here couple times but this will be the last. It's not good at all, I don't recommend this place

Been here before classic Taco shop only drive-through roll tacos and burrito like California , carne asada and carnitas and carne asada fries are delicious here been going here since I was a kid and surprised it still here

Carne asada burrito needs more seasoning. Chicken quesadilla was too greasy. I didn't like the onions and peppers in there either. Horchata was decent.

I order a steak egg and cheese burrito, not a 9$ french fries, cheese and sprinkle of meat. beware of this place as even the hot sauce is water down or full of straight chile seeds. only good thing about it, is that it's a drive through. go to the next main street and get you the burrito you ordered and a donut from next door. and yes i've been going here for 15 years randomly and yes they mess up a lot #wheresmymeat #getmyorderright

I have been visiting this place probably once a month for the last few years. The food is consistent. It hasn't changed much over the last 10 years. Their carne asada and pollo asado fries are very tasty and come with boh guacamole and crema. Their rolled tacos have a good amount of flavor and I love them with guacamole and cheese. My husband thinks their beef chimichanga is one of the best in town. It is served with guacamole, lettuce, and crema on the side. Beware their bean burritos do not come with cheese. If you say a bean and cheese burrito they will charge you for the cheese. They only offer red hot sauce but it is pretty good and they charge 50 cents to use a card to pay. Also the frive thru is kind of awkward. Make sure you pull in from the front of the restaurant. You frive up to the window, order, and drive thru to the other side of the restaurants where you pay and get your food. Overall it's not a bad place to get your taco shop fix.

Their breakfast burrito is just fries wrapped in a flour tortilla. Gross. I don't recommend.

This placE is great , sometimes they make me wait a long time though.kinda bullshit but whatever.

The prices were fair at just under $6 for a Cali burrito but the carne asada was not the best I ever had. It lacked that charred, grilled-like flavor that you get from carne asada in carne asada tacos. It was kinda bland and not very flavorful. I wouldn't go out of my way for their food. Regardless, this place is cheap, it's open 24/7, and has a drive-thru. The drive-thru works great because by the time you get to the window, your food will always be ready. I would stick with the drive-thru and not try to park my car and order at the window because they only have two benches to eat in the front of the shop, and they almost always have drunks and homeless people chillin on there.

Carme asada fríes no guacamole no sour cream Adobada torta make me sick And adobada tacos with 2 free hairs Really bad place and food

The only reason I came to this place was because I was in the neighborhood after a friends birthday party. It was about midnight and when I come to a taco shop that I haven't tried out I always a carne asada burrito. When it comes to rating taco shops in SD, I usually rate by how well they make their carne asada burrito because that is usually what most people order. I went through the drive-thru order process was smooth and it was about $5.75 for a burrito. Surprisingly since most taco shops have raised a dollar more for a burrito. I was impressed with the burrito and portion given. The meat was seasoned ok, a little dry but the more i ate the more it got better. The guacamole in the burrito was pretty good. and the burrito had more meat than pico de gallo. The reason why this place was only rated a 3 because of their watered down hot sauce. Most taco shops their hot sauce has a smooth consistency. but this place their hot sauce was very transparent and literally tasted like watered down hot sauce. I would definitely come back to try other items and for their price.

Reading reviews and let me tell you wtf is wrong with people.. ‍‍ anyways I have been going here since 2008 and I love their food.. it's not homemade obviously but really good. Their hot sauce especially!! I've had from burritos to the fries tortas the horchata is bomb.. I love the fast service it's even faster when you call and make your order over the phone Update! On specific food!! The menudo wey le doy un 10 de 10!!!! Nunca me falla! Mi abue vendía menudo en Tijuana y pues obvio el mejor del teco!! Así que desde chicquilla como menudo y del bueno! Y la neta que el menudo de aquí está uffffff es de los mejores de San Diego!

Food is alright only read on I come is because its close and my wife eats their food not me. I go yo pick up rolled tacos a large pina and hot carrots. Everything but the hot carrots did I receive, and this ain't the first time but its irritating you take the order charge me and from window A to window B you can't remember hot carrots come on. I blame the women taking the order because the order before me was a buddy of hers because she's dapping him up and playing touchy feely, which takes 10 mins then when we get to the window to pay his food is on the house no payment required. He got all his item but me a paying customer didn't get all my items, last time I will give them my hard earned money.

Ordered California Burrito and asked for guacamole and sour cream to be added. When I bit into the burrito I realized what I ordered was not what they gave me. It was a French fry burrito with meat fat and cheese. The horchata is also extremely watered down. Avoid this place, even though it's conveniently located off the freeway.

I went to get some food because it was the only place open near me. The guy that took our order at the window was just staring at us when we got there. We had to ask him if he was ready to take our order. He said yes, we placed our order & he got it wrong. we only ordered 3 items. When we went back to exchange what he messed up he just said "that's what they ordered" so I just asked for my money back. Don't go here. It's not worth that cook/cashier guy being rude. The ladies were amazing but the guy that took our order/cooked was rude as hell.

Me and husband moved to Escondido and everytime we go to San Diego we stopped by and get our usual, Carne asada fries with extra guac, we get home and to our surprise there was sour cream. I don't like it so I can't even eat it. I tried calling them to let them know and there's no answer.

Been coming here since 2003 and today was my last day. The cashier told me $6.45 for my California Burrito he charged my debit card $7.45 on top of that my Cali Burrito was 80% soggy french fries. J V's off Moreno is a WAY better taco shop, this place is just sad.

You gotta know what you're getting yourself into when you come to a place like this. I've been coming here for almost 15 years now and it has yet to disappoint me. Huge consistent portions, good consistent flavor, and always warms my soul eating their food. The salsa is decently tasty though you will likely need to get a lot of the little containers. I used to love this place so much I would get a carne asada fries all to myself for one sitting. PROTIP: Tbh don't mess around and stray by trying the obviously less popular items on the menu. Stick to the burritos, quesadillas, and especially the carne asada fries and you'll get a very good bang for your buck.

do not waste your money here!!! shitty customer service, soggy food, not worth your money. there are better spots around the area!!! they cant get orders right even when you speak spanish to them. disgrace to the reputation mexican food has all around san diego fuck this place

BEWARE!!! CHECK YOUR RECEIPTS !!!! CHECK YOUR BANK STATEMENTS!!!! I have been to this place since as long as I can remember, food is not great but it's good for a quick fix, customer service is not that great. So last night I was there to buy and order of roll tacos with carne asada, $10.65 15 mins pass and I'm already home when my bank notifies me a second charge for almost same amount. 15 MINS LATER!!!!! I call them and lady says "I cannot refund you because is not our mistake???? "But you Can come talk to management" What???? You just charged my card twicce how's that not your mistake?????? I go back and try explaining to the "manager" and show him my bank statement with the double charge and he says "I'm sorry I cannot refund you, it's not showing on our system" ???? After a couple mins of going back and forth he admits he did use my card twice and but on first charge he forgot to charge me .35cents!!!!! Really??? You forgot to charge .35 cents soo you decided to make and extra 10.30 cents???? People please check your bank accounts!!!!!! Avoid giving business to these thieves!!!

Great carne Assad's flavor. They don't skimp on the guac and the sour cream either. I always order the bean and cheese burrito cause they make sure the cheese is melted unlike some of the other whole in the wall taco shops

This place makes the best greasiest burrito ever if you're into that. One bite into the thin layer of the tortilla will make you feel like you're taking a deep dive into an oil pan. You don't need sauce or anything for the burrito because it comes inside with its own already.. grease. Cheers for this place for deep cleansing my intestines. Great alternative for laxative pills.

cmon bruh... no pico de gallo and add sour cream in my burrito but none of that... what a man gotta do to get his way
