50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Camp Pendleton North

“Mo's is inside camp Pendleton, so assuming you have a base pass Mo's is in the MCX parking lot so there is plenty of parking.
I had the birria bowl on lime cilantro rice and it was $15. It was enough to fill me up and quite delicious.“

“Amazing!! I'm not a big fan of Mexican food, but this place is the best. Everything is made fresh. The beans are awesome. I had the Pastor Burrito, it was so good. The meat was so tasty. Drinks was delicious too!! Can't wait to go back!“

“Ate here for the first time last evening after driving past it many times up and down Oceanside Blvd. All I can say is "Incredible!!" We parked our car, walked into the grass carpeted area and felt like we were no longer on Oceanside Blvd. The area they have set up with tables, fame heaters and a large screen TV is great. It is immaculate, and actually cleaner than a lot of local restaurants I've been in. The young lady who helped us since it was our first time, was excellent. She was making sure the condiment area was supper clean, I could have eaten off of it, lol. She had a great smile and was very welcoming as she helped us with answering our questions about the menu. The food was excellent, and the portions were great. Pricing was excellent and we will definitely be back. Again, both the area and truck are immaculate and the cleanest I've ever seen. Thank you, Gaby's Tacos, for an excellent "truck" dining experience!! If you have not stopped but keep wondering about it, give it a chance and support a local business.“

After visiting again after 20 plus years it's still the taste amazing and the food is amazing and you will not leave hungry from this place thar fir sure. I had the Carne Asada burrito with fresh pico..?My gf had the shrimp and steak burrito with rice and beans it too was amazing.“

“Tostada and Chimichanga are fire! They went above and beyond to accommodate a small mistake that was made on a previous visit. Really appreciate that! Classy joint.“

“Best carne asada burrito I have ever had! Very consistent, generous size, and truly mouthwatering. At least once or twice a week we pickup from here. My wife loves the shrimp diabla. Since she's not a big eater, it's 2 meals for her. She gets it every time, so must be good 😁“

“Best food I’ve had in years! So glad you’re here in Temecula, can’t wait to go back!!“

“Absolutely, without a doubt, the best beach bar/cafe in Southern California! Irresistible Mexican fare at price that's hardly believable. Fast, friendly bartenders. Lots of regular patrons who have also grown to love the place and will make you feel right at home (I call it my "Cheers" bar) and an outdoor dining area that just oozes beach-town charm. Always have a good time, there.“

“Excelente servicio y la comida riquisima! Con el auténtico sabor mexicano 100%, sirven una porción muy grande! Y todo muy limpio!“

“Great food, pleasant atmosphere and good 👍 service“

“Attentive server. Awesome food, hot and just enough of it. Moderatly loud, was able to have conversations with the people seated next to me, any farther away was very hard. Salsa had a nice kick, with short legs, won't burn out your taste buds.“

“Perfect rolled tacos with all the fixings done just right. Not too crispy, not too soft. Just right!Also ordered their delicious potatoe tacos ? ?

Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options available. Potatoe tacos ? and veggie burrito ? as well as the bean & cheese if ya feel like pushing it as a Veggie-saurus ?“

“We came with the whole family (7 of us) from San Diego & Murrieta because based on its menu Los Cabos in Vista offered all the types of seafood (raw oysters, whole fish with head and tail, shrimp, octopus). Everything including the tacos we ordered was so finger-licking good!!! Compliments to the chefs! And best of all was the service from Beyonce & Karina - quick, helpful, friendly!!! Our only suggestion would be to please add oxtail to the menu!!! Gracias a todos.“

“This quaint little 'diamond in the rough' find, is by far my favorite place for Mexican food, in the area...they score a well deserved 5 stars in every area. Fantastic food, always fresh and made w love...awesome atmosphere is relaxing if you choose to dine in and the cleanliness is above and beyond and the customer service is always with a smile. Drive thru service available just like all the others, but what makes this little place stand out is the kindness and quality!!“

“Best Mexican restaurant in Oceanside!!🇲🇽“

“The food is always fresh, flavorful, and made to order. Their al pastor and carne asada tacos are best in the city. The salsas pack a punch, especially the green one . Service is quick and friendly, and the prices are super reasonable. Whether you’re grabbing lunch or stopping by for late-night eats, Don Paco never disappoints. Highly recommend!“

“Great mexican food! I love their Quesobirria🤤“

“I was lucky enough to have carnitas, chicharrones, & tortillas carried up to Alaska for me to try! It was all AMAZING and a great taste of back home. Authentic carnitas done simply. The tortillas compliment the meat too. ¡Muy delicioso!“

“Breakfast burritos are the best. I love their their rice and bean burritos and their fish burritos as well as the mistake burrito. They could add a little too much white sause on the fish burrito, so I always ask them to go easy on the sause. Fish burrito have a lot of cabbage but it's still good. Prices have increased everywhere, so that's no surprise here either.“

“I recommend the carne asada burrito the next burrito the chingon burrito and then the carne asada nachos everything was delicious always you need to go there“

“The food is excellent! Wanted to order more just because it was good although I was full. Best tasting food I've had in a long time. Very small place, but they've done ok with the space they have and it is well taken care of. Can't wait to go back. Food was too good to worry about taking pictures.“

“I love El pollo loco on vista ca: they have a big menue, and the employees are so nice, also serviceable, my order it was so quickly, and fresh.“

“Breakfast lunch and dinner in one meal“

“Mimosas, shot del patron,cazuelas mazapan lover,unas cuantas de las tantas bebidas que ofrece el restaurant vamos a texcoco en vista ca, riquisima comida, bebidas y ni que decir de la atencion, una chulada“

“Stopped by and got the carne asada fries
I love the portion meat wasn't burnt or over cooked and they re generous with the guac
My complain is that fires are tasteless and they re literally the cheapest thing you can buy on the market definitely a 7.5/10 no more on the good side you can see where they cook the food and it seems clean enough to me the dining room is clean as well the tables outside were clean even tho it was a rainy day and they have a waiting area for togo orders that can sit around 8 people also you can get free green/red salsa I ve seen some places charge for it overall 3.8 stars“

“Best fish tacos ever😍!!! Thank y’all for the great service . Simplemente fantástico 🤩.“

“THE best salsa anywhere and ever! Very good vibe. Food is mediocre but generous.“

“everything was great!!! had rolled tacos and cheese enchiladas. their chips are great too“

“Great food all the time and great service too. An establishment in Fallbrook! You have to go if you haven’t gone yet!“

“We found this place just driving down the road, we are visiting from Arizona and my kids wanted birria tacos, so we stopped in as it didnt look to busy. Right time right place, food was amazing, prices were average from what we have seen around. Service was friendly and our order was made fresh right then and there. Will be coming back several times while here!! Awsome place!“

“CATERING REVIEW
This review is overdue but I still wanted to share. I ordered food for pick up for birthday party of ~50 guests. Manager was very helpful. I needed to call to increase the # of guests once and it wasn’t a problem.

Food was hot and ready on time. Person working was very friendly and helped load it in the car. We got tacos - carnitas, carne, and pollo plus rice and beans, tortillas, and chips and salsa. It was a big hit. Lots of compliments and plenty of food.“

“Hoy comí Mole de pollo y las tortilla’s hechas de allí muy rico. Si gusta pasen a comer tienen variedades de comida a estilo Chavelita y sus aguas fresca de frutas naturales.“

“I love Rubio's. Their fish tacos are consistently good. I wish they still had the mango mahi-mahi, but the wild-caught mahi-mahi is good, too. The staff here is always friendly and helpful, even when I mess up my own mobile order. Thanks to Rubio's for good food and good people.“

“Good food. Pleasant host. Plenty of space. It’s good to have a restaurant in this area. Parking, dine in or carry out. My first time I only had a burrito because it was almost time to close the kitchen. But now that I’ve been there I will definitely be going back.“

“Great place, highly recommended. We had the machaca plate, love the green sauce at the salsa bar. Delicious!!“

“Just open on Sundays early 6am and it gets busy. Carnitas are great they also serve menudo i have not tried it yet but people bring their pan. This is basically a pick up and go spot as ther is another truck that does have tables and food as well. They also make tacos to go.“

“What else can you say but authentic and great taste. The magic sauce once you put in or on your food is amazing. Friendly service and family oriented. Thanks again!!“

“tortillasrecien hechas a mano en todos los tacos“

“What an amazing place to eat, fresh food and great service. Shout out to Mike, what an amazing gentleman always checking up on customers and making sure everything is top notch. Best food in the county.“

“wow!! great food, great experience! order inside and then go outside and watch them cook it fresh!!!“

“Muy lindo el ambiente. Me gustô estar ahí. Espero volver...“

“very clean location inside very good food excellent people working there running it it's very polite kind the menudo was great Chicago the wrestlers great the ceviche was delicious well let me say should I give a thumbs up and a 10 5 Star great restaurant.“

“This place is tough to beat if you like cheap Mexican food. The atmosphere is very fun if you like old taco joints. The carne asada burritos and tacos are very good and it’s a great place to drop in for a quick lunch if you are driving thru or vacationing in Fallbrook.“

“Great food! Nice chill atmosphere! Very nice cashier lady!
The only negative side is that looks like we were overcharged (which noticed only back home). 1 burrito, 2 tacos, chips, super small rice & beans = approx $43.
Besides that - it was very tasty & nice. Will go there again 👍“

“We love Z. Z South with its Mexican food just down the street is excellent too. Great food service and prices. Prices are so reasonable we usually are glad to tip 30%. These people work hard and make us feel cared for.“

“Mannn i've tried a lot of different marisco (seafood) places and this place is leagues and bounds above the places i've been to even compared to the great places in Mexico!

The service is better than most restaurants. The gentlemen here are very attentive, kind, informative, and treat you like family.

This place is a hidden gem and well worth the visit. I live in LA and i still go out of my way to eat here.

I would give this place 10 stars if i could!
Absolutely fire 🔥“

“Omg where do I start I started seeing you guys post about opening in Oceanside since day 1 when you guys were seeing the place then starting to get everything together ; the mural, and then when you guys finally opened I told my husband there gonna open a Mexican restaurant in Oceanside that sells Guadalajara style food we were both so excited because my husband is from guanatos city baby!!! We finally got the chance to try the food in October of 2021; let me just tell you that the most excited I was about was to try the carne en su jugo and when I tried it I fell in love again because that is my favorite Guadalajara plate; it was so good I finished it all ; also tried the birria tacos omg those were so good too I really recommend this place; when we ate here they gave us a free jericalla and it was also so good!! I will definitely come back to this place every time I go to California it's gonna be our favorite place to eat in Oceanside. I was born in Oceanside so I was also excited to go back again to where I was born!!! You guys really have good customer service and really great food and also the lady at the front gave us some free stickers I think she's the owner but I'm not sure but we put those on my husbands truck in Alaska. Anyways I love guanatos city baby and happy 1st year anniversary!!“
