City Tacos

"City Tacos has built up a local empire built on a foundation of fresh takes on traditional tacos. Standouts include the camarón enchilado taco — with grilled shrimp over asadero cheese topped with chipotle aioli and fresh lime — and the Mexicali taco, with skirt steak, potato and poblano peppers wrapped up in a flour tortilla. Veggie-friendly items are available too." - Mario A. Cortez, Candice Woo

"While many opt for the borrego or Mexicali tacos, the pescado and Veracruzano tacos should be on your radar for your next visit to City Tacos. The first places a golden fried strip of mahi mahi alongside the usual toppings and habanero strawberries while the Veracruzano takes inspiration from its colonial port namesake, tossing a filet in sauteed olives and garlic." - Candice Woo, Mario A. Cortez

"City Tacos is one of the best and most reliable places for a round of tacos in San Diego. You’ll find tacos inspired by Mexico’s regional specialties, like the achiote-tinged cochinita pibil or a veracruzana fish taco topped with the classic medley of tomato, onion, garlic, and capers. Finish off with a round of churros. While they have multiple locations, this one is just a stone’s throw from the light-up North Park sign and there are a ton of bars, a bookstore, and plant shops around the corner to check out after eating." - ligaya malones
