Best tacos we had in San Diego. Al pastor is really juicy and yummy! They make the tortilla and all the meats right in front of you. Nice experience! Also they have all kinds of salsas

This place is ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!!! I'm from Texas and thought we had the best tacos but clearly, I was wrong! I visit this place every time I visit San Diego. AND their prices are hard to beat!!! I highly recommend giving them a try. I had the Al Pastor tacos and wish I had brought some home with me. Yum yum yum!!!! ????

The best Mexican food I ever tasted in the USA. I lived in NYC, but I could not find any Mexican restaurants that are better than this one. I order a some tacos and one burritos. I like the shrimp, it tasted delicious with the green sauce. I actually revisited the place the next day because I am so into it.
You need to wait for 10-15 minutes if it is during peak hours.

The chicken and al pastor tacos are fantastic. Home-made tortillas and a decent price. Wait times and limited seating may be an issue though! Otherwise, absolutely fantastic.

Don’t expect fine dining, expect to eat good food!
Busy place with a lot of people picking up orders. That’s always a good sign. They made our tacos perfectly without cilantro for me. (Which isn’t always easy to accomplish)
Food was great, service as to be expected from a fast food Mexican place and the clientele was diverse. Would definitely go again.

Some really good tacos. Yes you can find cheaper in San Diego but 3 tacos filled me up for less then $14, affordable. The fish and shrimp tacos were crazy good, make sure you get some salsas to try out!

Some of the best tacos that I had in the downtown area.
Al pastor was delicious but Cameron (spicy shrimp) was average.
They have a small seating area and it gets pretty crowded. I’d have given 4 stars but the cleanliness in the dine-in area could really be improved. There was no one to clean up after each party leaves the table, which led to us cleaning the table ourselves.

Solid taco stand with a decent amount of protein variations. I got carne asada, pastor, fish, shrimp tacos. The Cali burrito was good and reasonable size (not huge like a newborn baby). The reason why I have to lower this to a 3 is because the corn on the cob was possibly the worst I have ever had. The corn was mushy and kernels limp. Too much lime. It was basically a soggy and old lime stick. The pastor was not very good either. They had a spit but did not use it and the pineapples tasted like canned pineapples.
So just don't get the corn and the pastor and you're good.

Great, inexpensive place to get authentic Mexican food.
Just flew into SD for a short vacation and wanted to go directly to get some fish tacos. There were tons of places within walking distance from our hotel. This place not only had great reviews but also had great prices!
I got a fish taco and elote. My husband got the carne asada taco, steak taco, and a Modelo beer. Altogether our meal was about $27.
Every thing was delicious. I’ll definitely be back again.

Some of the best tacos we’ve had. They’re really filled up - they don’t hold back on quantity! The quality is amazing. So fresh and flavorful. Made to order and will come out hot.
The Mar y Tierra fries were huuuuuge and definitely for sharing
I loved the spicy shrimp taco!!
All the tacos come with a shi ton of guac on top which I loved but just an FYI
Love the sauce bar in the back. So many sauces and salsas - they were all good lol so try them all ????
