The Taco Stand

Tried Taco Stand during my San Diego trip and loved it so much that I ended up going twice. Got the Baja & the pollo asado tacos - both were delicious, packed with flavor, and made with tender meat that was cooked perfectly. I also tried the pollo asado burrito, which was just as good and super satisfying. The food is budget-friendly, filling, and doesn’t compromise on quality. Servers were friendly and quick too. Definitely a must-visit if you’re in San Diego.

Great cook to order food. The Taco Stand was recommended by a coworker. It did not disappoint. The burritos are HUGE! The shrimp tacos were very good. They even gave us some churros as we left. Awesome people. It was a little chilly because the door was open.

California Burrito Rating in San Diego (29) I’m on the hunt for the best California burrito in San Diego, and this is already stop number twenty-nine. Today I checked out The Taco Stand in North Park. The Burrito: They brought out a big, hot burrito, but the tortilla was torn all the way down the side, which made it pretty hard to eat. The tortilla itself is amazing though — it tastes like they put something on it before heating it up, so it gets extra flavorful and a little crispy. The marinated meat was great, the guac was solid, and the fries were super crunchy. Honestly, this is one of the best California burritos in the city. They also make their own sauces, and they’re legit good. Price is around $11, which is actually on the lower side for San Diego. For quality, taste and price, this one is hard to beat. If the tortilla hadn’t been torn, I would’ve given it a 10. As it is — 8 out of 10. Service: Friendly and attentive staff. 7 out of 10. Atmosphere: They really put effort into creating a cool vibe. The music and the interior make the place feel fun and relaxed. You can sit outside and enjoy one of the best burritos in the neighborhood. 9 out of 10.

I tried the asado taco and the al pastor taco, and the meat was really good — flavorful and well cooked. They have a great variety of sauces, which made it even better. The corn was just okay, but the animal asado fries were delicious. Would definitely come back! 샌디에고 타코로 강추합니다!! 🙏👏

Taco Stand was 🔥. I got three tacos — pork, steak, and fried fish. The pork and steak were the bomb… so flavorful and juicy. The fried fish taco was good, just not quite as flavorful as the other two. My mom got the mahi fish burrito and it was really good too. Overall 9/10 — definitely worth it! 🌮✨

First full day in town from driving from Texas. After 3 days on the road we were craving some good tacos. Being from Texas we are very picky with our Mexican food. Thankfully, San Diego has a very large hispanic population and the amount of Mexican spots around you make it super easy (or hard) to find a place to eat some tacos. We were hesitant at first given the price of the tacos, Texas tacos on average (outside of a food truck) are usually 2/3$ per, these were about $4.5/5. But okay we are in Cali so can't complain to much. Anyways, after ordering and eating, the price is justified. I would pay the price even if this was in Texas. They were really good and they give you A LOT of meat. The meat to tortilla ratio is spot on. Salsas were good. Staff was super friendly and very helpful and we got a chance to speak to the owner while we visited. Parking is very tricky here as there is no parking for this restaurant and you will have to find street parking somewhere nearby. From the looks of it, it is a popular cross section of streets so street parking is hard to find. We drove in circles for maybe 10 minutes when we got lucky enough someone was leaving their spot. Would definitely visit again if we are ever back in town.

Yah this place is the best. The service is top notch. I levitated when I took my first bite out of that juicy delicious California burrito. The sauces are free and they are stupendous. All the Taco stands around San diego are consistently great, I've never had a bad experience here.

The best steak burrito in San Diego—with a hygiene warning. During a short stay in San Diego, I went on a mission to find the city's best burrito. After researching for price and authenticity, my curiosity led me to The Taco Stand. The shop is much lower-profile than I expected. I was anticipating something more upscale, but instead found a tiny, humble space with just a few tables inside and outside. Because I arrived around 6:00 PM, I beat the rush, ordered without a line, and received my food quickly. The steak burrito was a godsend. The steak was tender with a perfect charcoal flavor. Combined with the fresh cilantro and beans, every bite felt authentic—as if I were eating in Tijuana or Mexico City rather than San Diego. For just over $10, it was one of the best burritos I’ve ever had, especially with the free salsa bar and pickled onions. However, as I was leaving, I saw something that shouldn't happen anywhere, let alone a popular restaurant. Right next to the bar, seating inside, just outside of the glass where the meal was prepared, was a bin of incredibly dirty water with a 'cleaning' cloth soaking in it. It looked horrendous and completely unsanitary. Seeing items "swimming" in the water that is used to "clean" the tables was stomach-turning. I did NOT want to post that stomach-turning photo of the dirty water because that would be very harsh and bad PR for the restaurant which I do not intend to harm. To the manager: Please update your cleaning protocols. I understand the shop is busy, but leaving dirty water in plain sight or any other place is a major health standard violation. It’s a shame that such a legendary meal was overshadowed by a lack of basic hygiene.

Always a good experience. The food is excellent and quick and the folks are nice. The al pastor tacos and the elote are the best!

Arguably the best Mexican food in San Diego. Definitely the best salsa bar. Top-notch service. Quality product.

Visited this morning monday and Dania the cashier was very friendly and kept the line moving.also the cooks very friendly brought out the food in Minutes making it taste delicious everything very stalked the salsa bar was clean.

Overhyped and Overpriced - Won't Be BackRating: 2 stars I went to The Taco Stand this weekend, invited by friends, and unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype at all. The place is super popular, which means no street parking and very limited seating both inside and out--expect to wait or eat standing up if it's busy. They have locations across San Diego, Las Vegas, Miami, and beyond, and they do make their salsas fresh daily, which sounds great on paper. We sat outside, which was partially shaded and thankfully the weather was perfect, but it was a battlefield waiting for a table and chairs. People were starting to get cutthroat, and your food takes like 20 minutes to be ready, adding to angst and frustration at this location. The menu focuses on tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and classics like that. I ordered the Surf and Turf burrito (no tomato, as requested). For around $15, I was really underwhelmed. There were only two or three shrimp in the whole thing, the steak was overcooked and tough, and the filling was mostly just cabbage--no rice, no beans, nothing to make it substantial or interesting. It felt pretty boring overall. The salsa bar is a big selling point, but none of them blew me away. I ended up dumping a mix of all of them on my burrito just to add flavor. The black one and the habanero were probably my favorites, but the chipotle and cilantro cream ones tasted off--like they were made with cheap seed oils. They were thick, creamy, and left a weird coating in my mouth that I really didn't enjoy. We also got churros for dessert. They were okay--not greasy, which was a plus--but a bit too bready and nothing special. I'm not sure about the ingredient quality here. The next day, I woke up bloated with a puffy face, which makes me suspect cheap fillers, MSG, or something similar. Overall, this place seems to ride on hype for all the wrong reasons. I've had way better Mexican food at better price points elsewhere. I wouldn't recommend it, and I definitely won't be going back. 2/5 stars.

I was always a bit skeptical about hearing " one of the best places in San Diego ". Came to the north park location and omg wow !! Food is pretty fire. Decent price ( as anywhere in Sd ) and portions are pretty good so I wasn't upset about pricing. Carne asada is made in front of your eyes (( Tijuana style )) and they also have a trompo for their adobada. Solid 4. Was pretty bored waiting for our food so I did have to pay 4 whole dollars for a bag of tortilla chips. But please believe I did grab a ton of sala. Our favorite was the tamateda ( dark brown and the most flavor ). Seating was a little meh but all around place was actually surprisingly bomb. My carne asada fries had a ton of flavor and man was I full !!! Will I come back? Indeed I will :)

I ordered two tacos de asada and they were soooo good. I would definitely come back for more if I'm ever in the area again. The employees were super nice and helpful. The inside is pretty small, but there's plenty of outside seating if you want to hang out and enjoy your food

The Tacos were good. Could have used a tad bit of seasoning. Surprisingly my favorite was the mushroom taco. I also ordered the Nopal (delicious) and the camarón taco. Pretty easy ordering process. Inside is pretty tight but they have outside seating as well. There were no lines when I went and parking eh... circled about 3x.

Amazing place! Food is delicious and the California burrito is the best one in San Diego! Service is excellent!

First time to Taco Stand. I was super surprised by how much i loved the tacos. They have salsa macha which is my absolute favorite to add spice to any food. Ordered off the secret menu and got two volcan and the Tierra y mar taco. With a Modelo I was in heaven. Easily my new favorite taco place. The taps came out fairly fast for how crowded it was when I got there. Enjoyed my tacos on the patio which was nice to people watch on the street. Counting down until I can go back.

This place was recommended by my chiropractor but sadly it didn't live up to the hype. My boyfriend and I cook a lot, love flavor and know good food and neither of us liked these tacos. The meats just didn't taste like much and were covered by heavy cremas that also didn't have much flavor. The place wasn't very clean and the salsa bar didn't look fresh. If you are hungover or just need a late night bite to soak up some alcohol it might do the trick.. otherwise I'd pass.

I've heard that there are lines out the door of this place, we must've hit it at the sweet spot because we got there and there was no one there, score! I ordered the Cameron taco and the pescado taco. I thought both of them were excellent. The fish on my taco was grilled beautifully and had the most wonderful flavor. I liked the shrimp taco a little bit more than the fish one because I liked the seasoning on the shrimp and I liked the cheese melted on the tortilla. And also about those tortillas... They make them write them in there and they are warm and delicious. My fiancé got the Carne Asada burrito. He really liked it, but I honestly thought it was just OK. The tortilla fell apart when he was eating it. I know they cook them fresh, but I think it needed to be cooked a little bit longer. Also, I did not care for the mixture of beans and tomatoes inside the burrito. I'm sure that's from a region of Mexico that maybe I'm not familiar with the cuisine, but it was not my taste. I will say that the meat tasted very fresh, like it was cooked just then, not like it had been pre-cooked in a big batch and then warmed up. The interior of the taco stand could've used a little bit of attention, it was quite messy on all of the tables. I noticed that the tables on the patio were messy too, so maybe we came in after a big rush. Also, by the time we were leaving, it was getting packed again so good for them!

First time here, and I can see why everyone loves this spot! There isn't much parking nearby, so be prepared to walk about a block -- but honestly, it's worth it. It's located right in front of a city bus stop, so you get a fun mix of locals and people passing through. The staff are friendly and welcoming. You walk up to order, pay, and then watch as your food is freshly prepared. The best part -- the corn tortillas are handmade right in front of you! The building itself is small, but they've made great use of the space with a few tables inside and some patio dining. The patio is a little cramped, but the chill vibe makes it work. Everyone seems relaxed and just happy to be enjoying good food. Now, the food -- so fresh and flavorful! I tried the chicken tacos, and they were loaded with meat, onions, guac, and salsa. There's also a sauce bar with pico, limes, and a few different salsas to sample (which I loved). The burritos don't disappoint either -- one is definitely big enough to share, and pairing it with a taco is the perfect combo. Overall, a 4 out of 5 from me. Parking could be better, but honestly, the little stroll back to the car helps walk down the food before heading home.

There are over a dozen Taco Stand locations, all are similar... zero ambience, very little seating, always crowded, stuffy, but the tacos are terrific and exceptional. The salsa bar had a nice variety of fresh salsas to chose from just be careful cause they can be very spicy! Grab a seat at the kitchen bar, and you'll see the staff crank fresh tortillas right before your eyes. Freshly made tortillas makes tacos twice as tasty! $4 traditional Al Pastor is cooked on the classic vertical spinning trompo machine. The sweet pineapple marinated pork, with its distinct crispy, caramelized edges while the inside remains tender and juicy. The pineapple perfects its...its all so good together! $4 Baja Fish Taco is a classic Ensenada style fish taco with a fresh moist white fish deep fried in a delightfully thick crunch beer batter, and covered in crisp cabbage, fresh tomatoes, and classic crema. $5.70 The very best taco here is the Sonora taco, which is also the biggest taco. The flame grilled angus steak is charred nicely on the outside, while the juicy beef is packed flavorful from its secret marinade. The beans, melted cheese, fresh guac and salsa makes this a perfect taco. $4.70 Shrimps lovers should get CAmerones taco, which is generously packed with tender succulent grilled shrimp in special Mexican seasonings. $3.75 There's also a grilled mushroom taco for you vegetarians. Even carnivores like myself will enjoy this, and should help with your bowel movements later.

Absolutely incredible quality. Sonora taco - basically a mini burrito , got a flour tortilla with melted cheese and beans as well as a good amount of guacamole. 8.9 out of 10 Asada taco - carne asada taco best taco here . Asada was Smokey grilled with a little bit of char on a corn tortilla. The meat is salty but balanced by the cool guacamole and lime if you get one . 9.4 out of 10 Pollo asado - pollo was alright 7.1 out of 10 Service can be friendlier and more clear on instruction for pick up .

Tacos are exceptionally good, packed to the top of their homemade tortillas with delicious ingredients pastor, nopales, shrimp, asada; you name it. Service was great! Small eating area indoors and outside patio. Authentic homemade salsa are fire and mildly tasty. If you order the Guacamole they don't scimp on the avocados nor chips. I would eat here weekly if I lived in town.

Solid taco joint in the area. There's usually a little bit of a wait, but it's worth it! The food is freshly made, good quality, and whatever you order is gonna be delicious. Plenty of options on the menu, and you can customize items. Don't miss out on the salsa bar!

Favorite taco place in San Diego. Fiancé took me here years ago and it still does not disappoint. Food came out fast and hot, great service. Very clean inside and great outside area to eat. We got a lot of food. My top 3 are as follows: Al pastor, pescado, and Cameron. One of the best grilled fish burritos I've had. The Al pastor had great flavor, color, and bite. All the salsas had great flavor. I cannot wait to come back here.

This taco place is actually better than Taco El Gordo--no joke. We ordered the al pastor and the carne asada, and both tacos were huge, so the $5 price makes sense. I love the smoky flavor of the carne asada. It's rich, flavorful, and has that perfect smoky finish. I also appreciate the generous scoop of guac on top--it balances the flavors and adds a nice creaminess. The al pastor was good as well, though the flavor didn't stand out to me as much as the carne asada. Overall, I'd definitely come back. I'm not giving it five stars because the service was lacking--they finished our order but never called us, so we ended up waiting around for no reason until we asked about it.

Let me start off by saying this, The Taco Stand has been solidified as my favorite taco spot here in San Diego and I know I have to try so many other places but my goodness. The pastor here was literal chefs kiss and I wish I would've gotten an al pastor burrito instead of what I got. The service was amazing, very kind people. The inside the restaurant didn't have too many spots to sit but we went here on our last day in San Diego before heading back home. Let me strongly say this, I will come back and eat at this restaurant because it is definitely worth the hype.

If you're in San Diego and don't get carne asada fries, what are you even doing here? This taco stand absolutely nailed it. We ordered a California burrito and carne asada fries to go, both made fresh right after ordering, and both completely worth the inevitable food coma. The carne asada was perfectly seasoned, the fries held up (even after the drive back to to our AirBnB) and the burrito had that just-right balance of steak, fries, cheese, and guac. Portion sizes were generous but not ridiculous; the kind where you're full but still thinking about your next bite. They've got a solid salsa bar with options ranging from mild to "okay, now I'm sweating," and everything tasted super fresh. The staff was chill and friendly, and while parking around the area can be a bit of a pain (classic San Diego), the food more than makes up for it. Bottom line: it's the kind of spot that makes you wonder why you ever settle for mediocre tacos anywhere else.

The Taco Stand is a regular in my delivery rotation. They have a wide selection of tacos and burritos and are one of the few places that allow you to customize (very helpful for my pico hating husband). My go to order is a mix of tacos. I enjoy the baja taco (fried fish), pollo asado and camaron. The tacos are pretty hefty! For burritos, they have a good California. The meat isn't always the most tender, so sometimes you'll get a few bad pieces, but it overall does the job. If you're able to, I do recommend coming in person though so that you can take full advantage of the salsa bar. They have a whole bunch of different salsas to choose from that range from mild to very very spicy! Parking in the area can be tricky, but they have seating available on a small outdoor patio.

3/5 because of the customer service is terrible and the parking is nonexistent. The food is good but it's San Diego...where you can always find a good taco.

Talk all the S you want about this being a chain. I grew up in a predominantly Latino town, in a Latino household, eating Mexican food regularly. This place passes with high honors. The staff are making everything, including the tortillas fresh, by hand. They even have nopales on the menu, which for me, adds to the mountain of evidence that they're a real one. Open relatively late, you can order ahead online, and the staff is always kind-- even when they're being overrun with borrachos on Fri/Sat. I love you guys, don't ever forget it!!!

The taco stand is 10/10 so good! The freshest food & the sweetest staff! A quick eats spot w delicious food! Highly recommend.

Al Pastor Tacos- ate this taco first and the meat was really good and not dry at all Baja Taco- nice crispy fish tacos. Decent size pieces too. Carne Asada Tacos- This was my favorite of the three tacos. Nice and flavorful meat Mar Y Tierra Fries- we unfortunately were thinking with our stomachs and didn't realize how much food this was after eating the tacos...but def super fill. Though gotta eat it fast as the fries do get soggy pretty quickly First time having San Diego tacos and was recommended to come here by a friend. Was definitely worth coming here. Everything was really good and we def over ordered but all worth. Street parking was not too bad. They have outdoor and indoor seating. Was busy so was hard to find a seat at first but people rotate out pretty quickly so you can find a seat by the time your food is out

I don't get the hype. I waited 2 hrs from when I was in line to getting my food on a Saturday night around 6pm. It was very slow service bc the kitchen is small and can only push out so many orders. Service sucked because getting a cup of water was like hunting down a deer. There are no restrooms inside. You will also have to fight to get ur own seat which there was around 5 tables inside. Food was mid, al pastor was good but that's about it. Carne asada was not seasoned and tasted bland. Maybe I'm missing something but not worth a 2 hr wait

This is a place I've wanted to try for months since moving to SD. I finally had that opportunity. And was shockingly disappointed, the venue was not as sanitary as I expected, my food was prepared too soon, soggy loaded fries was inedible.

One of the best kept secrets is their breakfast menu. Their bacon breakfast burrito is so amazing. Nothing fancy just eggs, bacon, beans, cheese and crema. Wish they would put their breakfast menu online so you can order to go as going there when it's busy can get a little crazy.

Omg this is definitely a place you need to try. Tortillas are made fresh there and the salsa bar selection is fire!!! Unfortunately I was there as a quick stop during a bachelor party and didn't get to take many pictures of my food, but I could tell by the line and everyone's mouth watering orders coming out a while I waited , this was going to be bliss. I ordered Baja taco, carne asada burrito and carne asada fries. Quality AND FLAVOR is unmatched being so close to TJ. Amount of protein they give is way better than in the Bay Area. Cashier was friendly and funny, despite the line she gave everyone the attention and communication they deserved while ordering. This place can get crowded and the salsa bar could feel rushed or backed up if you're trying to get a lot of different salsa to go, wish the to go cups were a little bigger. Food came out quick. Definitely adding this to one of my go to spots when in the area

Their California burrito is a perfect food. It's massive and so delicious and satisfying, especially with their incredible salsas -- they have a whole bar of 8+ different salsas. I take every person visiting San Diego here for that burrito. Their tacos were slightly more underwhelming.

I frequent the Taco Stand La Jolla location, but this was my first time at the North Park location. My go to is an Al Pastor burrito. I love the pineapple included in the burrito, and they don't skimp on the meat! I always load up on lots of onions and red sauce. I still think the La Jolla location tastes slightly better (maybe grilled for longer), but it's not too different. It's such a great deal for just over $10 for a large burrito. I visited last Saturday at 1. I ordered online and it was ready for pickup. I'm glad there was someone there to help me because a lot of times the La Jolla location gets so busy that there's no one to help with the online orders. However, there was no seating available for my party of 3 until we had already started eating. I know there's nothing the restaurant can do about this, but I would be prepared to eat in the car or take it home.

Tacos were so good. My friend Ryan tanked out the super hot sauce. Mad props to that dude. Also, the lady at the front was so nice. Ambiance? Are you kidding me. Fricken great. These tacos made me finally divorce my wife. It's been 10 long hard years. Thank you taco stand for opening my eyes. I've decided not to pick up my 4 year old daughter at daycare today. I'll be here all day if anyone wants to come hang out. The pollo asado tacos were the best.

Still my go to spot to bring guests in town. Perfectly located by Morley field. All street neighborhood parking. Even with long lines people are constantly moving in and out. The place is smile to the point just good food made to order. So happy it's close and easy to get to.

This review is specifically regarding the food because the cashier's customer service was great. I stopped by today and ordered the Carne Asada Fries with a bag of chips. I am so happy I did order the chips on the side because I ended up having to deconstruct my order of Carne Asada Fries and make Carne Asada Nachos. By the time I got home, the fries were incredibly soggy by the heavy toppings and unappetizing. The sauce on top was a combination of guacamole, sour cream and nacho-like cheese which made me gag. I separated the Carne Asada meat, placed it on top of the chips, used my own shredded cheese and guacamole salsa at home and the Cilantro salsa (which was delicious) from the salsa bar to create a new dish. The meat was grilled and tasty but if I decide to come back, I will be sticking with a burrito or tacos.

If you're looking for solid tacos and burritos in North Park, The Taco Stand is definitely worth checking out. They've got a wide variety of tacos -- from al pastor and carne asada to fish, shrimp, and even cactus -- all served at very reasonable prices for San Diego. I really enjoyed the flavor and freshness of the food. The tortillas are handmade and have a great texture, and the California burrito and carne asada tacos were especially tasty. The portions are generous and the ingredients feel fresh, which makes this a great casual stop for lunch or dinner. Service was friendly, and getting your food to go is quick and easy -- perfect if you're grabbing something on the way home. My only minor gripe was that at times the meat or tortillas weren't as warm as I'd like, but overall that didn't take away too much from the delicious flavors. There are definitely other taco spots in town with their own strengths, but this place holds its own and is a reliable, tasty choice in North Park. Will likely come again next time I'm craving tacos!

So I was next door at a bar having a drink and i got hungry and they said they don't serve food there, but that I'm allowed to bring outside food in.. The recommended the taco stand which was just a couple buildings down. I walked in and it seemed nice, I even got first in line to order at the register.. It took about 10-15 mins for them to finally take my order, they were barely busy and I have no clue why they weren't able to tend to me for that long.. Also, I was gonna order 3 tacos and they said it'll be about 45 minutes! I was appalled. I said, "For 5 tacos?" And they said yeah.. So I left and I'll never go there again, and I wouldn't recommend anybody eat there ever too. Two thumbs down.

I'm a fan of The Taco Stand with multiple locations around SD. Small shop with limited indoor seating but has more outdoor seating. As far as the food, the Mar y Tiera fries are great. The steak and prawns are seasoned well and the fries are crispy with guacamole and their salsa. For the price, it can feed two people easy. They seriously need a different pickup system cause they call out orders by name. They mis-spelled my name so was difficult to listen. Street parking is tough in the area.

Not sure if I came on a bad day but the food was not good, it lacked flavor and the tacos were super soggy. The churros were really good though! The service was quick to take my order but when it came to receiving the food, it was busy but nobody called my name for the order so my food was just sitting there:/ The seats were pretty dirty and the pico de gallo was definitely old on the salsa bar By the other reviews it seems like a good place but I honestly didn't enjoy myself.

Best tacos in North Park -- crispy tortillas, flavorful carne-asada & al-pastor, killer Cali burrito -- 5

Delicious, juicy tacos. They also have the best churros freshly made, with frosting dip. So good! Workers are friendly, music is good. They almost always have a lunch rush hour, but they serve quickly.

San Diego is known for its Mexican food, but it's all about quality over quantity and The Taco Stand absolutely delivers. From the freshly made tortillas you can watch being pressed in-house, to the perfectly battered fish tacos, flavorful adobada, juicy chipotle shrimp taco, and an extensive, mouth-watering salsa bar (including pickled onions... my personal obsession), every bite feels intentional. This is easily one of my go-to spots when a Mexican food craving hits.

The la jolla location never disappoints. I dont know if the locations have different owners but the fish burrito i get in la jolla vs the one that I got in north park were not even comparible. Im accustomed to a nicely grilled tortilla and mine was stale hard and burnt inside and out. The burrito was dry and flavorless at this location and way small. I was like wtf is going on. The price was right the food was wrong. Parking, forget about it. Not worth it. I waited 35min for a busted burrito.

There was a huge line, it's definitely popular! I tried burritos this time because the tacos were just ok. We got the California burrito, al pastor burrito, and the carne asada fries. The fries are a bit thicker so they were good, but the carne asada fries had a ton of guac and sour cream. The sour cream was a bit overwhelming and made the fries soggy. Their carne asada was really good both in the fries and the burrito. It's like thick pieces of steak YUM. However, my son didn't really like the extra creamy sauce or something that was in the CA burrito. The al pastor burrito had wayyyy too much creamy sauce for my liking too. I would've much preferred just a pico de Gallo or let me add my own salsa since the pork was so good. I much prefer to have a more basic burrito I guess with adding my own sauces as much or as little as I'd like. They have a great salsa bar if you want to try a lot of different kinds. I was sad there were no spicy carrots though - maybe it was busy and they didn't replenish very much!

Came on a Tuesday, they mentioned they don't have Taco Tuesday Specials since their pricing is fair already. Okay, understandable. This spot took us a while to walk to from Adams Avenue, only because we didn't know the path. But once you know it, it's an easy and simple walk! The menu which is written on a metal sheet is a bit difficult to read because of all the edges and dips. You'll understand the jist of it because the item names are written in red! The workers are super sweet, informative, and friendly. They have outdoor seating and indoor seating. It's a small place, but can hold a few groups! They have a salsa bar, which is great. They have nice variety, although I wished some would pack more heat. Also, if they had lids on them to keep the flies out and away-- that would be most ideal! In addition, they have soda machine, water, horchata/hibiscus, and beer/bottled sodas as well. To eat, I ordered 2 Al Pastor on Corn Tortillas. My mom had 1 Al Pastor and 1 Baja (Fried Fish) Taco on Corn Tortilla. My moms friend ordered 1 Al Pastor and 1 Carne Asada Taco on Flour Tortilla. We also had Chips & Guac to share! I got myself a Mexican Coke as well. The Al Pastor came with little cuts of pineapple which weren't tart or stringy. They paired well with the Al Pastor which was really flavorful (without being overly salty) on its own-- really, no salsa was needed for this. It came with cilantro and onions as well. I could probably eat 4 next time! I tried the fish taco as well since the piece of fish was so big. The batter was seasoned which was interesting. It was good, but not better than the Al pastor that's for sure! It was nice to try something different. My moms friend said the carne asada was ok, she also preferred the Al pastor. The salsa bar had pickled onions which paired really well with the chips and guac, as well as the tacos. It was bright and fresh, and it had some oomph of black pepper as well. I tried their "tamarind" sauce, it was dark black colored-- but really didn't have any taste to it. I also had the creamy green sauce-- this one was really light and airy. Cilantro & cream vibes. It didn't really bring anything to the table when I ate it with the taco, but with the chips it was nice. There was also another green salsa which I think was more avocado forward, with some herbs, and the teeniest amount of spice. This also went good with the chips. The guacamole itself looked like it was made in the morning or the day before because it was already a bit discolored, it tasted a bit bland as well. Nothing special and the amount of guac compared to chips was unbalanced! Thankfully, we did get limes with our tacos so I added lime to the guac and then from their salsa bar-- added their pico ! This brought more life to the guacamole which turned out to be much tastier after all the additions. But all in all, I'd probably skip ordering this next time for the group! There's still tacos I haven't tried from here which I'll be having next time. It's a good spot to come to for lunch or late night bite. The area is pretty quiet & easy to walk to. Would recommend it!

The food was good but I wish they did a little more for the vegetarian options. And the same options translated over to every type of food they served, so the same two flavors for tacos and burritos. Plus the flavor was fresh but I wouldn't say it was super flavorful. I did like now the nopales was prepared, it was very crispy and fresh. The sizes of the tacos were pretty big, and they stuffed it pretty well, I had a hard time holing my taco without things falling out. For everything on the menu, there is an extra cost to add cheese, which I thought was a bummer, but then I saw how big of a slice of avocado they put on my vegetarian tacos!! They did not skimp on the avocado. I also had their bottled margarita, and it was so good! It was 11% and I still couldn't taste the alcohol at all!! It was so lime heavy which I really appreciated. I also tried their guacamole, it was very fresh, not a ton of flavor but it was still good! Lastly I got the churros and they were amazing. They had almost like a cake pop texture so I don't know if that meant undercooked but I liked it!! It had the soft inside and a crunchy exterior. Highly recommend trying their churros. The location had inside and outside seating, mostly tables for four. They had a great fresh salsa bar that was self serve. All the food is made to order so it takes a while to get the food but it's worth it!

The best tacos ever!!! Great service! The sauce is the best!!! It's so flavorful and the meat is juicy!!!

The tacos are so yummy, so much flavor and their homemade tortillas are very good. The service here is good , especially because they're constantly busy, it's hard to be friendly when you got a lot going on, the girl that helped me today on register was super kind. The sidewalk ambiance is fun, i love the music they play, on top of that the heater was turned on for me without having to ask! i love it here, thank you

Awesome food, staff and ambiance! Everything is the best! I would go every day if I could.
