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!“

“The tacos are so delicious, we had to go back and order more. The corn tortilla was nice and soft. Other places they're hard. And the meat was also soft. I've also never had a mushroom taco but tried one and it was also good. It was simple but grilled just right.“

“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.“

“The nicest people with the best food!!“

“Been going to this place since 2000. Great food, portions are huge and prices are on point. You get your food quick too and the folks there are always helpful if you need anything, for example if you need salsa or lemon, they will ask what they can get for you and get it as they are helping another customer. That is priceless. All of the above is the reason I make a point to eat here when I am in the area whether I’m hungry or not.“

“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 😁“

“Good food and service! Always a great experience!“

“Food is delicious, service is great“

“Great food, pleasant atmosphere and good 👍 service“

“4 stars for atmosphere only because it's loud for me. I now sit in the patio and it is good.

I have had the shrimp fajitas and the shrimp cocktail and large portions and delicious! I have had the lobster twice in less than a week - and plan on going again for Valentine's Day. Absolutely scrumptous and meat in legs and awesome portion in the body and tail. Outstanding taste and texture - and worth every cent. My treat because I deserve good food in a nice place with attentive staff. So glad my friends told me about Anita's in Oceanside. Magnifico!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Great mexican food! I love their Quesobirria🤤“

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

“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.“

“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 ?“

“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!!“

“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“

“Best Mexican food ever. Mr. Mario and the other girl at the front always have nice customer service skills besides the great food.

MESSAGE TO THE OWNER:

PLEASE add Birria and vegetables Caldo in your menu, please 🙏“

“I love this place, been coming back for years.“

“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!“

“Camarones al mojo de ajo 🍤🍤🍤“

“I would give a 4.5 if I could, but can’t give a 5 because the blacked mahi was a bit over-seasoned, making it a bit too salty.
Portions were awesome, food and toppings were fresh. Probably the best Rubio’s we’ve had except for the mahi seasoning.
The temp in the store was a bit cool, and it was one of these very warm (80) days in the area.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Came by Tacos Don Paco with my family and was honestly very impressed. First off, the salsa bar is solid — great variety, especially if you like spicy food. They definitely have some really good spicy salsa options that bring the heat and flavor.

My family ordered the carne asada fries, and they were done perfectly. Not overly saucy, no soggy ingredients, and the quality of the fries themselves was amazing.

I personally had three tacos:
• Tripa – 10/10
• Lengua – 10/10
• Al pastor – 10/10, loved the pineapple, it really made the taco pop

We also ordered a gordita de chicharrón, and that was very good as well — stuffed, flavorful, and great portions.

Overall, great food, good quality, and satisfying portions. Definitely a spot I’d come back to. 🌮🔥“

“Breakfast lunch and dinner in one meal“

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

“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.“

“I’m so glad I stumbled on this little Mexican spot! First good meal I’ve had in a while. 🥰 Super welcoming people and the food was very flavorful— the chicken burrito was delicious. Love the relaxed, family-run vibe, with the cook singing in the kitchen and everyone seeming happy. 😊 Including the little adorable kid hanging out with his grandma and making goofy faces with me. Very kind and hospitable server girl and comfy seating. A place that makes you feel at home. 💕“

“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.“

“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 👍“

“Nice place to eat Friendly“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“The al pastor tacos are the best I’ve tried in the area. The grilled flavor and the perfect crisp on the meat—without being burnt—are amazing. They’re absolutely perfect! I’ll definitely be coming back for more tacos at this place.“

“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.“

“Fast, friendly, and delicious! It’s not that hard, really, or at least I don’t think it should be. Erika’s has this down on lock. Been driving by this place for years and finally went in today. Ordered a Machaca breakfast burrito. Must try! Growing up in a Mexican household, the salsas make or break my experience at a local spot like this one. Both the red and green salsas here made Erika’s earn a spot on my list of go-to’s. Will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu, especially the menudo.“

“tortillasrecien hechas a mano en todos los tacos“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Excellent service! Fast and delicious! I had a Margarita, it was perfect! Cheers! We will definitely be back!“
