Spitfire Tacos

Got the Korean BBQ burrito. Very different than your typical Mexican food drive thru, but tastes nice! Just a bit small and pricey. Still worth a try and would come back if want something more fancy.

Got the Korean pork belly burrito and the truffle steak burrito, they were each unique and pretty good. Both had tater tots in them. Id recommend the Korean pork belly over the truffle steak.

I got the steak and cheese burrito and it wasn’t bad but it’s too small, like $15 for “half” of a burrito. If you want a real burrito go to Harry’s or Roberto’s!

This place is coming in to a lot of competition, I mean there are about 5 other taco / burrito places within a block, so living here I initially thought that there's not a need and no way that it would offer anything unique. I don't say this often, but I was WRONG! The burritos are large and filling, and every single ingredient tastes very high quality. The spit roast option is super unique, and I can guarantee you won't find another jerk chicken burrito here. This location opened about 2 weeks ago and I'm already in love! If you're looking for unique burritos or tacos, or if you need a late night snack (this place is open until 3am and most restaurants in this area close around 10pm) then this is absolutely your go-to! Another bonus - if you can't make up your mind, the Mission + Garnet food court that this is a part of has pretty much anything you'd want!

The sign says authentically made.. As a Latino, these are not good tacos. Cold tacos?? Street corn with no mayonnaise? This place is not good. Stay away!

I ordered a burrito bowl today. There was one order in front of me, and it took forever to come out. The food was well below average, so I asked the group next to me, and they shared the same opinion. It turns out we were both first-time customers. The rice was overcooked, the portions were very small, and the meat was dry. I will not be returning despite the convenient location.

Orders two tacos: patron for life! Ordered the aloha 808 and the Korean BBQ taco and both were incredible. Great flavors, textures complex and inviting, tortillas stayed in tact. Bill helped me and couldn’t be more helpful. Also, if you’re ordering take out, the taco tray has separators that keep the tacos from spilling. Genius.

I ordered through door dash and the food arrived cold. I'm not blaming the restaurant for this and it isn't factored into the review. We ordered Pollo asado bowl, al pastor burrito, Carne asada taco and street corn. The flavor was SUPER good but the rice in the bowl was hard and undercooked and the pineapple in the al pastor was hard. The red hot sauce was more sweet than hot and the green salsa was good. The food was packaged really nicely. The Carne asada taco was the best and I'll return to try the other tacos.

Spitfire tacos are a fun twist on tacos. They each have influence from other cultures. The fried chicken is great, as is the pork belly. Plus, they have tots! The burrito I got had tots in it, even tho that was not listed on the menu, so I suppose the updated it. However, I would not have ordered a side of tots if I knew the burrito had them built in. Location allows for friends who want something else to go next door and then eat with you at the communal outdoor tables for all the eateries who share a kitchen. Ordering is via iPad and you may not see too many employees as they seem to stay behind the scenes until they bring your food to the counter for pick up.

I thought this was just a late night place and we went there a bit early. This place had some remarkable bowls. They were kind enough to give me a mix of both meats, which isn't even on menu. Service was quick and good. The location is great to sit outside or take out by the beach. Would recommend for dinner or even after a few drinks.

Located at Mission + Garnet, this space seems to be one of the larger restaurants in the hub. No one was there to ask questions if needed, but it was pretty self explanatory to order via the QR code. We quickly ordered the Al Pastor tots and a rootbeer. Food came out pretty quickly, probably 10 minutes. The same lady helped us with the other spots we ordered from... so it seemed like she was by herself doing it all! If I could give her a 5 star review I definitely would! The Al Pastor tots were very loaded! The meat itself was on the dry side and the tots were not crispy or crunchy. All was topped with a avocado sauce and fresh pineapple salsa (which was delicious) and a side of white melty queso! What really saved this dish was the pineapple salsa (kind of like pico, the way it was diced). All in all, it was okay for a $13 meal. Unsure if we will order from them again the next time we are at Mission + Garnet.

I met up with some friends here and we ordered a variety of tacos, both the carnitas and carne asada tots to share. The tacos were presented on a nice platter and the tots were loaded! Both of the tots were very flavorful! For tacos, we got the carne asada, peri peri garlic chicken, porto-pesto veggie, aloha 808, crispy chicken, and Korean bbq pork belly. The tacos were a bit hard to share, so we just picked our favorite flavor to have. I love spicy, so I chose the peri peri garlic chicken. It had the perfect amount of meat and spices. I also tried some of the carne asada one and it was pretty good! It's a good spot to get some late night eats if you're in PB!

I would've gave two stars for taste and flavors but service was great so they fry an extra star. I come from an area where tacos are very authentic so to me this is more like Tex mex Americanized tacos. It's just ok for me.

Honestly, yes the two tacos I had here at Spitfire Taco's new location could of and should of been better, especially for the price of almost five dollars a piece. That being said, I had the "pollo asado" taco for $4.75 and the "carnitas" taco for $4.70 which came out to over $10 with tax. Where to start on both f these tacos. I know, the protein, or should I say the lack of protein on both tacos. I even told the young kid who brought them to the counter that the tacos looked very under whelming and small, and that they need more meat. Just look at the pictures I uploaded. The carnitas taco was a skinny little thing on a flour tortilla. There should of been at the very least twice the amount of carnitas in this taco, and to make things worse, the carnitas were on the dry side. I could tell when I first saw the little piece of pork that they were going t be dry. Carnitas taco need to be succulent chunks of glistening pork tender to the touch. I was very disappointed in this taco. At for $4.70 I would not have this taco again, let alone at $2.99. Oh yes, there was no dusting of chicharrones on the taco. The pollo asada taco was equally disappointing. I literally counted five little square pieces of chicken. It was embarrassing to call this a pollo asado taco. Come on peeps, we can do better then this. The taco was mostly tortilla strips. There should of been more chicken than tortilla strips. The chicken is the star of the taco, not the garnish. To make matter worse, something in the taco was very salty. I think it was either the avocado salsa or the chipotle cream, but it overwhelmed the flavor of the taco, and given the lack of chicken, the chicken flavor was mute. I am not sure if this is how they make their tacos here, or who ever made them is new to the job and hasn't picked up the right way to execute these taco. Either way, the tacos need to be better. Spitfire tacos is part of the Mission + Garnet Food Hall.

I tried 3 tacos (Dixie Crispy Chicken, Peri Peri Chicken, Jermell's Jerk Chicken), the elote/esquites, and chips/salsa. All three tacos were bursting with flavor and had a nice level of heat. I think the Jerk was the spiciest - the heat built quickly after one taco. My favorite was the Dixie - I loved the crunch of the fried chicken with the soft tortilla and flavorful toppings. You can tell they put thought into the recipes. Flour tortillas were pliable and super thin - didn't get in the way of the flavor and did it's job well. They offer corn tortillas as well. The esquites was good. I would have preferred a little more crema to balance the savory corn. The chips are seasoned well with a tajin blend (I think). Yummy and salty and paired perfectly with the robust chili salsa - the combo was addicting! Overall a flavor explosion, which is how I like my tacos. Wish I would have tried the chuffle. Next time!

First of all- their tacos don't look like their photos. This is what they look like. Second of all- we waited 25 minutes for 4 street tacos and a side of corn- only for the corn to be forgotten and the tacos to be on corn tortillas even tho we asked for flower. Drove back, picked up the corn and it is trash. It likely sits somewhere under a good lamp all day because it is very over cooked. Third of all- these weren't worth the $28. Go to city tacos across mission- you'll be happier. Or even Taco Bell for that matter. Ambiance- music was loud- but we're in pb, so it's always loud. Just go to taco stand in La Jolla. You'll wait just as long in the long ass line there for amazing tacos, as you do for these less than mediocre tacos.

I order the street corn and black truffle steak burrito through Grubhub and they didn't put any salsa in the bag, thankfully I had one lonely Taco Bell hot sauce packet in my utensil draw. So minus points for that. I won't have to worry about getting scurvy, because the street corn had so much lime in it.The truffle oil must be added via squirt bottle, some bites had super intense truffle taste over powering the carne. I do have to say there was a lot of steak in the burrito and it was really tender with no stringy fat pieces or fat at all. It was filling I couldn't finish in one sitting. Although I wouldn't order the truffle burrito again I would like to try Spitfire Tacos again.

I ate the tacos immediately as they were ready. They were cold and it seems like they've been sitting for an hour. Won't be back. This place sucks and white people making fast food is a terrible idea.

Trash!!! Food took a long time to cook even when we were the only ones there. Then the food comes out ice cold. Meat was extremely tough and hard to eat tries giving it to a dog and he wouldn't even eat it. Don't waist your time or money.

We love the tacos here! They have great flavor & centrally located! They are located right by the beach, so it's perfect to grab food & head to the boardwalk. Their staff is great! Highly recommend checking out

I wish I could give this place more than 5 stars! Just got the Peri Peri Chicken and Porto Besto taco with street corn... 10 out of 10. The layered and strong flavors are amazing. A definite must have.

Honestly, this location is super prime and it is nestled between other food spots so if you're in a group situation, everybody can kind of get what they want. We went with the Pollo asad burrito and peri peri tacos and we got the side of guac and chips. Yum. Their chips definitely had their own spice to them and I appreciated that. The burrito was filling and definitely a lot of ingredients. I was shocked to find a tater tots inside and later realize that all burritos come with tater tots. I really appreciated the worker giving me the recommended sauce. It was a smoky chipotle and it was absolutely perfect. They had an array of beverages on site, but no alcohol. That's OK I really enjoy wanna restaurant has topo Chico. Over all solid spot!

Unclear why when I ordered tacos that came with flour tortillas that I received them with corn. For people who don't like corn tortillas this can ruin an entire meal and make you feel like you wasted money. No thanks.

Had to wait, but it was worth it. Great chips and salsa. Awesome burrito. I am looking forward to going back.

This place just opened by my work recently The customer service is great, they're always cheerful. The tacos are delicious My go to the Dixie crispy chicken tacos. They put their own spin on each of them. The service is quick and the food is always quality!

We arrived at 9:30pm on a Thursday, not a single soul in the restaurant and thought it was closed for the first 5 minutes. The male cashier was friendly and after finding out they didn't have fish tacos, most of our party decided to go to Ramiro's instead. Thank goodness we did. One of our group did buy their kbbq burrito and enjoyed this fusion dish. However, when the rest of the party arrived to eat with them (still the only people there), a female (probably a supervisor) kicked us out stating "Even though one of you bought a burrito from us, y'all can't sit here having food from another establishment." 100% would have respected this request if the restaurant had any other customers and needed a seat, but they didn't and at 10:45pm as we walk by then again they still don't.

It was...okay. We got the food to go and they missed a burrito but I know things happen. It was just not very delicious. The pictures online looked so much better than the food we received. It wasn't gross but I wouldn't go back.

Unfortunately, Worst tacos I've ever had (pastor). Couldn't even finish them and same with the street corn.. was so hard and overcooked it was like eating rubber. I paid $46 to feed myself and my husband and wanted a second dinner it was so bad. Staff was nice.

Food was amazingly good. Got the dixi crispy chicken tacos and the fresh veggies with the picked onions really set the tone; I bought two more... I will be back.

Visited last night and it was super busy outside food wasn't that great but Amani helped me decide what would be best for my diet super sweet worker just need better food

Ordered the carne asada burrito & chips + gauc on postmates. The burrito and gauc were insanely spicy (at least for my tolerance), but the item description had zero warning that it would be this spicy. I couldn't get through more than 3 bites of the burrito. The carne also had a super sus taste. Sad waste of money, I don't recommend.

Carnitas burrito is worth the drive. That's my go to comfort food with the tots inside.

Eric was super nice and helpful! Recommend Per Peri burrito and it is so good! Great service and great food! Plus and outdoor and indoor sitting ! CHICHARRONES with guac are a must!

Small, Cold, soggy taco's. Jerk chicken was burnt. Service wasn't great either. Do not recommend. I'll stick to Puesto, and mom and pop drive through Mexican.

10/10 quality food. The girl working the register late at night on a busy weekend was so sweet. I crave this food often and would definitely come back!

Best chicken tacos we've had in San Diego!!! The service was great, quick and easy. def try it out if ur in the area!!!!!

If you like soda this is the spot, I do not recommend the 808 or the pork belly tacos. The corn in a cup was dehydrated with toppings.

Amazing spot, great burritos try the steak and cheesy burritos best spot in pacific beach

Tried the pork belly tacos as part of the PB restaurant tour/walk. Seriously amazing. My family and I will be back. So glad we have a local business that's actually doing something different from burgers and pizza. Don't miss this one!

The food is awesome, atmosphere pleasant and the employees kind! This will be a regular spot for sure!!

Good food, but really small portions. The tacos are tiny for the price and the burritos could use an XL version.

The carne asada totchos are soo good and the staff is super friendly and helpful

Some of the BEST tacos I've ever had! The seasoning on the Carne Asada was the perfect blend of heat and spice! Great portion sizes I could barely eat 2! The new space is a welcome addition to PB! Can't wait until summer and chill on the patio before I hit the beach!

Great for lunch, dinner, or late night. Love the new spot, the food is great, and there is a great seating area good for people watching in Pacific Beach.

I had the Korean BBQ pork belly taco and the steak n' cheesy chipotle taco. I loved the flavor of both tacos. The flour tortilla was nice and light. They had the feel of street tacos which are the right size.

Anything on the menu is good, I like the steak and cheesy burrito the best. Staff is super friendly, had a nice talk with Eric. A nice added bonus is that they play great music outside. Highly recommend.
