Haggo's Organic Taco

You should check out Haggo's Tacos in Encinitas. I was just there, and it's going on my regular list of go-to restaurants when I’m in the area. It's one of those spots that has food for everyone to enjoy. They offer meat, vegan and gluten-free choices, that all can enjoy. They do tacos right, no matter what you're eating. Plus their fresh made guacamole is a nice side to any of their entrees. The seating is what really sets it apart. They have this cool California room-style space that they can open or close depending on your party size. It felt private but still airy. And if you're just grabbing a quick bite solo or with a partner, they have a bar-style counter that faces the street, perfect for people-watching. The food was great, the ambiance was excellent, and the service was on point. Give it a shot next time you're up in that area.

Legit Mexican food. Super clean ingredients. Fresh hot sauces. And...if you like nachos, they make them right. Real cheese, layered under and on top of chips, melted perfectly with cheese on almost every chip - hit this place up! 100% coming back with the family!

Super good food with a nice laid back, slightly upscale atmosphere. I recommend the taco plate with the caesar salad.

Our go-to spot for healthy tacos. Not your traditional Mexican food but a solid healthy-twist on the classics. Food is always fresh and we appreciate that they use organic ingredients and are seed-oil free. If you’re looking for seed-oil free food that still tastes and leaves you feeling great, def recommend Haggos!

Updated... I get it and I do so love the food, the restaurant and the owners. I'm not trying to be hard on the owners. For me it was so frustrating just to try and put-in an order. I understand that app developers can be difficult. If it were me, I'd just go DoorDash. All that said, I'm adjusting my review to focus on the food, the place and the owners! OMG, I love Haggo's, their food is amazing and their owners are such kind and genuine folks.. I was so excited to see that they released an app that I could use to place a to-go order. I'm sad to say that their app is a disaster. I spent 30 minutes of my life trying to verify my app with no luck. I should have given up earlier and just called to place my order. I really, really love this restaurant. Their app developer has really let them down. I will continue to support this restaurant and enjoy their food / atmosphere, but whoever developed this app is really detracting from their reputation.

This place has been on my hit list for a while now. I was finally in the area and im so glad I had the time to stop in. I wanted to originally try the tacos and ceviche, but because I came in the morning I was in the mood for a good breakfast burrito. And they did not disappoint. It was outstanding. My friend loved his torta as well. The woman who took our order was friendly and gave good service. This place is a must try if you are in the area.

I ordered the vegan burrito that comes with sweet potatoes, quinoa, avocado, vegan cheese, greens, etc. In all honesty I can hardly consider it a burrito; it was more like a wrap. The tortilla wasn't grilled, and everything inside it was cold. It would have been a pretty bland meal if they didn't have five different salsas to choose from. That really took it up to a whole other level. It was fun choosing a different salsa for every bite. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal, but it would have been amazing, 5 stars if they had only cooked the burrito, gotten that cheese all melty, and added some seasoning to the sweet potatoes and quinoa. A little more thought and effort goes a long way.

AMAZING tacos... The shrimp was our personal favorite but everything was so flavorful. And the fact that so much of their menu is gluten free, including their delicious churros..??? Crazy good! The owner was super attentive, offering a free sample of wine and chatting it up with us. Very cool vibe. LOVED this place and will definitely return!

I love the casual, open-&-airy location, especially sitting along the outside counter facing the street -- for fresh air and lots of people-watching! In addition, I love that they offer self-serve chilled ice water (it's these seemingly small details that elevate my enjoyment and experience)! For this first visit, I ordered a la carte: Cousteau Fish taco ($6.95) and Baja Fish taco ($6.95)-- both tacos were generously stuffed with fresh-tasting and colorful ingredients; the Baja fish taco was generous in size and its puffy, crispy, and satisfyingly crunchy texture was unique compared to other fried fish tacos I'd had. While orders are placed at the counter, the food is delivered to your table. I liked the staff's positive energy! Great find (however, heads-up, only 1 restroom)!

First time trying Haggo's Organic Taco and I'm so glad I did! I originally came just for the gluten free churros since my husband is highly sensitive to wheat, but I ended up adding carne asada fries to my online order because I got hungry haha. Let me just say, the gluten free churros were incredible! Honestly the best we've had in a very long time. Perfectly crispy, soft inside, and full of flavor. I don't think anyone can make them as good as Haggo's does. Totally worth the price and generous portion too. The carne asada fries were tasty overall, but I'd give them a 4 out of 5. The fries themselves were a bit dry, but still flavorful and satisfying. The staff were super nice and even let us sample all the salsas, and wow, every single one was delicious! Definitely coming back for those churros again

This place, located right on PCH, screams SoCal, and Encinitas, in particular. The people watching, even the car watching, is terrific. Be prepared to wait in a long line to order. You can blame Guy Fieri for that. Then be prepared to wait for your food. We waited about 30 minutes, which is exactly what the cashier warned us. The food is good. The presentation is top notch. The prices are high but you are paying for the high rent and high quality. I liked my shrimp taco. The pastor taco, with little chunks of pineapple, was probably a little better. The shrimp burrito was not huge but it was very nice. With the two taco combo, you get chips and red beans. The chips are very good. The beans are fantastic. Really. With my taco combo, they gave me about six chips. Is there a chip shortage? Come on, guys. The salsas, and there are four types in squeeze bottles, are pretty good. The spicy one should be spicier. They make an excellent, freshly-made Michelada here. It's excellent. I liked but didn't love the food. I loved my Michelada and the beans. I loved the people and car watching. There you go.

Very surprised that a whole wheat tortilla is a good as it is here. I got a fish burrito. It was between that and a Diablo shrimp, which also sounded great. Took a bit longer than most taco shops do, which is fine. This thing was loaded with cabbage and tomatoes, so it is a real good crunch. Unfortunately the fish wasn't super crunchy, which is fine, but I prefer a crunch. The bottom end of the burrito still gets that nice wet greasy tortilla flavor. Love it. The view is great, lots of flora, floating around. The price is up there, as is everything else except my wallet. They do have some N/A beers which is a plus and absolutely something I look for.

Being in San Diego always makes me think of two things. How fast can I get to the water and where can I get some tasty tacos?? Haggo's is serving up some delicious fresh food. They cook with organic, scratch made ingredients which includes grass fed beef and wild caught fish. They use avocado oil in their fryers and dressings for flavor and nutrition. I read a few reviews before coming here and knew I had to try it. I luckily got a spot on the street to park right out front. Parking can be a real challenge in this area as it is mixed residential with commercial. They have a small lot in back but it does not hold that many cars. I walked in and was greeted by a friendly person. Looking at the menu, I decided to go with Haggo's Special - Baja Fish Taco plate with chips and beans. I definitely made the right choice. The mahi mahi tacos were flavored with fire roasted crema, cabbage slaw, salsa crudo and cilantro. Pure yum! I always know that I can get the best Mexican food in this part of California and I go for it every time I am here. So many other options to sample such as Cousteau Fish Taco, Chicken Veggie Bowl, Wild Shrimp Taco, Azul Taco, Land and Sea Taco and the list goes on and on. Great patio dining while you feel the cool ocean breeze and the warm sun. I probably could have just sat there enjoying this feeling all afternoon. Take your Taco Tuesday up a notch and try out this fabulous spot. Your tummy will thank you!

So happy I finally got to try Haggo's Organic Taco! My friend David and I popped in for a quick lunch after a photo shoot, and I was delighted at how fresh and flavorful the tacos were - super high quality! Great people-watching while sitting out on the front patio, too. ;) Service was good. Can't beat a coastal San Diego spot for tacos!

Such a fun and cute restaurant! You order at the counter and then find seats indoor and outdoor! They have so many unique taco, burrito and bowl options! I got a burrito, forget what it was called but had marinated pork, pickled onions and some cabbage slaw--so freaking good. They also have huge bottles of salsa on the counter which is key. My friends got tacos and they were also huge and amazing!! 10/10 recommend!

Ordered takeout for ourselves, +2 local friends... Had chicken bowl, shrimp diablo burrito (crazy hot), mahi-mahi tacos, chips, beans, and rice. Super fun place and it's clear that ingredients were healthy and fresh. Friends that live in Escondido had not heard of Haggo's, and we're very impressed!

After a long week of holiday food and drinks, I was so thankful to be saved by a healthy, good for you and good tasting lunch spot. Everything here is cooked in avocado oil and tasted so fresh and clean. I enjoyed three tacos while my husband chose the rolled tacos. The food was swiftly delivered to our tables and everything was delicious. The servers were all very helpful and patient as we decided what to order. We also loved sitting on the outdoor patio as it was a warm afternoon.

Okay, I will dream about this place until I return again. Friendly service, awesome local vibe, plenty of seating. I had a fish taco and a wild shrimp taco and they were both insanely good. The salsas here are out of this world, the mild green was actually my favorite. And they had a delicious and refreshing hard kombucha on tap which they served up immediately so I could sip on it while I waited for my order. Tacos are my favorite food and these are now my favorite tacos!!! Mahalo.

Haggo's is such a great casual spot with a cute patio and friendly staff! Their Caesar with shrimp has become my go to favorite order!

The Cochinita nachos are pretty good here! The service is quick and friendly. The food hasn't been consistent on every visit, but it's been good overall. The salsas here aren't my favorite.

I made it to Haggo's in Encinitas and I can say the place is super cool. It's got a real California vibe to it. The people there are great. So helpful and pleasant. I had two tacos and believe me they were astounding. Go with your appetite and bro g friends so you can share and taste each other's things. Wow what a great place. It's a must visit when in the San Diego area

Ran across this spot on my walk and oh boy, what a great place to grab a bite! The waitress was really helpful in deciding what I wanted to order and I ended up with the Birria Tacos. They were SO good, and so filling. I only ate one and saved the other for later, so the serving size was plenty (also reheated super well!). Sat outside on the porch where they had plenty of sunny outside spots. Will definitely come back.

If disappointment had a flavor, it would still be stronger than anything I tasted here. I came in hungry, left confused--and not in the "wow, that was unexpectedly amazing" kind of way. No, more like "did someone accidentally run the food through a flavor-removal machine?" kind of way. Let's talk about the sauces. They gave me FIVE. I got excited. I took a picture like a proud parent. But after trying them all? I started to question if I had COVID again. Nothing. Not a hint of salt, spice, tang--anything. Just vibes. Vibes and $65 of regret. The food itself? Bland. Unseasoned. Emotionally unavailable. It felt like it was trying to tell me a story, but forgot the plot halfway through. I've had more flavor chewing on a napkin. At one point, my son dropped a piece of his taco on the ground. A bird swooped down, grabbed it, and then immediately flew off like it had somewhere better to be. Even nature rejected this food. If this is a modern take on Mexican food, then I guess it's post-flavor. Honestly, I want my money back. Or at least a letter of apology from whoever tied up the spices and left them out of the kitchen. Until then, I'll be sitting at home eating Hot Cheetos to feel something again.

The food looked great, and my girlfriend enjoyed what she ordered, but NO CARNE ASADA BURRITO????, I'll NEVER go back.

Wow!! So delicious!! The carne asada was so flavorful and non chewy. The grilled fish taco was perfect, the fish tasted so fresh and zero fishy taste which I appreciate. Overall, the quality of the meats here stood out to me the most. I also love how everything here is cooked in avocado oil!

This place has been one of my go-tos for a long time! A huge selection of organic tacos, burritos, bowls, soups and draft beer. It's a cute little coastal spot, so The ambiance is awesome and the service is always on point. Great selection of vegan and vegetarian grub as well. Highly recommend the Kelly Leak

Great pet friendly restaurant with amazing baja tacos! So fresh and crispy - just perfect! Also tried their Mahi taco and pibil taco and everything was so good. Their house sauce made everything taste even better - make sure to try them with your tacos. They have a good selection of tap beers and their outdoor seating made our experience even better! We did not get our dog but will bring him with us the next time we dine here which I am sure will be very soon! Highly recommend

Great food and service. Wonderful atmosphere and great for kids as well. Love that the patio is dog friendly, too. Owner is very nice and makes you feel welcomed. We drive all the way from El Cajon because we like it that much. Parking can be a challenge but don't give up.. it's worth it.

Delicious Mexican food just a few blocks from the beach. Haggo's has a very comfortable patio and the food is fresh and organic. We ordered a few tacos and a burrito with very delicious ingredients. My fish taco's wild catch of the day was halibut and it was topped with fresh mango which was a really nice and sweet touch. The azul taco came with very tender grass-fed beef, caramelized onions, shrooms, arugula, blue cheese, and cilantro. It had that sweet & savory thing going on that I love so much. Since you're just a few blocks away from the ocean you'll feel that wonderful breeze. We had a new girl learning the ordering machine when we walked up and she did great. They even have a small parking lot directly behind them. We'll definitely be back here as well and I can't wait to try some of their other taco creations.

Caesar salad was delicious. Garden variety was best of the three veggie tacos. Salsas were great too.

Great spot in Leucadia, offering delicious food options ranging from tacos, to bowls, tortas and more. We tried their steak bowl and torta special of the day. Prices are steep but portions are great. Ambiance is wonderful, right on the PCH in Leucadia and next to many shops

Beans seamed overcooked, taco meat unseasoned and they need to put a sauce in the fish tacos some type of white sauce is common. Also no hard liquor here so if you wanted a margarita kiss that goodbye. Great ambiance tho and great location and GREAT service! Just the food I didn't love

This spot has yummy food, solid ingredients, great portions, and good music. Service was quick

Love a twist on a taco shop. Well executed updates to a rubios. Organic and it tastes fresher. Fun menu names for the food items. Great selection of beer and wine. Wait times for Togo orders are pretty accurate and the place is cute Leucadia vine if you want to dine in and watch the trains go by. Totally worth it to check them out.

Our favorite place for fish burritos! We are weekly regulars now! We love that the food is organic, creative, unique, and delicious! Way to go Haggo's!

Super good food! Land to sea taco was my standout but my family all really liked the shrimp chipotle flavors too. We had the carne family nachos shared which were fantastic. ht I think chicken could be even better. HIGHLY recommend trying this spot out, food is super tasty and made with clean ingredients!

This was so good, great vibe and great food. You can taste the freshness of the ingredients. Will definitely be coming back.

Hugo's has the best tacos can't beat them. Try them out. You'll be missing out if you don't from the flying food snob on Instagram.

Amazing vegetarian bowls & fish taco, great guacamole and fast service. Seating goes fast, may have to wait. Def be back!

Numero Uno Tacos en Encinitas! Something for everybody, fresh, healthy, tasty and fun place to dine or just throw one down! Enjoy!

This place offers a wide selection of tacos and other foods. I had to wait a little to get my food but it was worth the wait. Everything here is so fresh and tasty-- very healthy selections. I was impressed and will come back

If you knew the original Haggo's years ago, you're likely to be disappointed. Even if you weren't around then, the quality--and thus the value--really aren't there. The poblano corn chowder was the best thing we had. The fish in the Cousteau (grilled) was overcooked, tough and mostly tasteless and the mango wasn't ripe. The grilled shrimp taco also lacked flavor. (Why I couldn't get it fried Baja-style is beyond me.) When they brought out FOUR bottles of fresh, homemade hot sauces, I was happy, but the joy was short-lived. Not sure if the new incarnation of Haggo's has any connection to the original. The new location is more modern, but I'd much prefer the low-rent, hippie-vibe location to pricey digs and marginal food.

Haggo's organic taco is yummy. We added margaritas to go with our tacos and nacho plate. Let me just say...the FRESHEST ingredients. Layers of flavor and super hearty portions. The location is along PCH in Leucadia/Encinitas and has a relaxed beach town vibe which I love. They always have a rotating selection of margaritas and the counter server was knowledgeable about the menu. Would definitely come here again. Good to know: parking in the rear of the restaurant building and there is a nice walk through to the restaurant.

I left this place feeling uplifted and energized. I rarely get that these days, especially at a busy eatery. The positive energy is very refreshing and welcoming. The music choice - some might call it 'pop punk' of the 70s/80s - was out of the ordinary in a completely positive sense of the phrase. Another rarity that I appreciated. The tacos did not disappoint. Proportioned well and substantially sized. Accompanied with salsas (presumably of the house) at table. Overall, a mix of elements - which on their own might not seem special - that, when put together at an establishment like this, produces a five-star experience. Highly recommended. I think a tourist or out-of-towner like myself would particularly appreciate how accessible this place is. I myself usually have trouble getting my bearings whenever I'm in a California beach town like Leucadia. (And I grew up in a California beach city...) Bold, attractive signage makes the eatery easily recognizable at a distance, and a lot for about eight cars in the rear made parking very easy. Lastly, a festive wide-open floor plan and arrangement of seats adds to the communal enjoyment of the space for everyone.

Got it! Here's the revised version without the word *lackluster*: --- We decided to stop by this place because it looked busy when we drove past. We ordered the ceviche, quesadilla, and Al Pastor tacos. The food was just okay--nothing impressive. I've definitely had much better Mexican food elsewhere. The restaurant wasn't exactly dirty, but it wasn't clean either, which was off-putting. Between the average food and the questionable cleanliness, there's really no reason to come back. I wouldn't recommend stopping here--it's not worth it.

I just got back into town and always go straight to Haggo's for nachos. This time I decided to try their Birria Tacos. Dang!!! They were Awesome. I will be back soon.

Oh my!!! Such good food!!! Highly recommend! Everything tastes so fresh and the service was good too!

My husband and I came here on a Sunday for lunch. You get a view of the train and Coaster while sitting outside. We wanted to have something not too heavy so we opted for tacos. We ordered the Wild Shrimp Taco, Crousteau fish taco, Land & Sea taco, and the Immortal taco 2.0 (Vegan). It was all tasty. I must say that my favorite was the Immortal taco. They also have sauces to put on your tacos too. Great spot to grab a bite on the 101.

I am so happy I decided to have dinner here! The food was absolutely amazing and the vibes were great. My friends and I got a few different tacos, ceviche & guac. The food was so fresh and yummy. Willie, Courtney and all the staff were all so kind. I will definitely be returning!

Love this place! Their food is great, fresh and flavorful. They get busy (hint: because their food is so good) so plan your visit accordingly.

Seven years ago before a new ownership we used to really like this place now the sauce is absolutely tasteless and this is what I got... Very disappointed... Sorry... I intend to pass this information on... I think the manager was there too and saw me taking pictures of my food and for that reason did not approach me... It's a shame in our current time where every penny counts

Healthy and quality ingredients. Grabbed food to go with family on easter and everyone loved they're food and said they would definitely go back again. The restaurant itself is nicely laid out, with good use of the space for maximum seating. Reasonably fast service for how busy they were. Also, the quality did not suffer either I tried both veggie burritos and they were both great! Also, pretty large which I appreciate. thanks Haggos!

Delicious food, several gluten free options, nice workers and pleasant ambiance, both inside and out on patio.

Great location right along the 101 in Leucadia. Quality organic ingredients! My favorites so far are the Chilaquiles for breakfast and the Ron Burgundy Burrito. Kids really enjoyed their chips & guac. Love supporting a local family owned business. We'll be back.

Haggo's is DELICIOUS! The tacos and burritos are divine - great seasoning on all the meats (10/10 recommend the pork) and veggies. Make sure to try all the salsas - adds great flavor. The guacamole and chips also shouldn't be missed. The spot also recently debuted breakfast on weekends. The breakfast is just as great as lunch/dinner. The Chilaquiles and breakfast tacos are *chefs kiss* Make sure to stop by Bump for a coffee to pair with it all.

Was looking for a good taco joint after a long day at Legoland...we found this one through Yelp! Yay! And upon arriving found out it's a triple D place...even better! Guy Fieri approved - we're in. They have a parking lots in the alley in the back with 8 spots. Food: we ordered chips and guacamole to start. The amount of guacamole is ridiculous (in a good way). They even have us more chips upon my request. Thank you to the staff. I'm not sure about you but I'm not wasting any guac! Then I ordered the veggie and shrimp tacos. I got a Mexican Coke and hubby got a beer. Hubby got the surf and turf taco and the fish taco...he devoured them. Mine were awesome too. They have a cute kids menu and have crayons too! You can't go wrong trying this cute place.

My hometown has changed a lot since I last lived here in 2007, but Haggo's has kept the Leucadia vibe alive! Great tacos, friendly and chill staff, perfect atmosphere for good eats. Thanks Willy!
