“I frequent this taqueria at least every other week; if I could, I would daily. The food is always incredible, you can't go wrong with the taco de adobada or torta adobada. The staff are incredibly kind and attentive. One time they noticed I got shorted a taco before I did and gave me an additional taco. I didn't even ask for that, they were just nice. The music is always a vibe when you choose to dine in. Definitely a 10/10 experience every time.“

“Had some for Takeout and it was The Best Menudo 😋EVER😋 Authentic Guadalajara Receipe 🇲🇽✏️📃🔪🥣🥄. Perfect Broth, Soft Hominy and the Meat Melts in your Mouth🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟, goin back there ASAP with Friends who love Menudo but we can never find anywhere decent 😔, Until Now 🌟🤪🌟 . Staff is very Friendly and Caring.“

“This is a great place to eat. The Western vibe is awesome and the service is pretty good. Not amazing, but pretty good. Waiters and waitresses are attentive, but when it gets busy, it takes them a little longer to come back around to you. They just hired a new waitress, so hopefully this has changed. The food is great though. It's my buddy's and mine spot to get a fish taco or quesa taco after a good mountain bike ride.“

“This gem of a truck has the best surf and turf burritos in San Diego. The meat is juicy and tender + the combo of shrimp and chipotle sauce is amazing. I squeeze lime into every bite with their salsa habanera (it is HOT but delicious!). This place is easy to miss it as it is located in front of Pick Your Part but I look forward to coming back to eat.“

“I wanted to try this spot but now I am worried if I take my wife and kids to this restaurant they could be assaulted in the bathroom by te owner and the staff will stand and smile. Plus multiple reports of failing food safety, yikes.“

“Very good place very good food and good customer service“

“I read the reviews for this place and I was curious to try it, being Mexican, I’ve never been too impressed by tacos in San Diego, there are good tacos but there’s always something better down south.

I am not someone that picks a place for the atmosphere, I go places for their food, if the atmosphere is good I might stay longer but if the food’s good I’ll come back.

Which is the case with this place, the food is so good that I would travel back from mexico just to eat their ribeye tacos.

I’ve read about people complaining about the atmosphere here, there are too used to fast food joints, this is how a real taqueria feels like, it’s rustic, not sterile, there’s ash from the charcoal flying and landing in the furniture out back, loud music, informal service. If you can’t deal with that, go get yourself some fast food instead, this might not be for everyone. But the food…

The food is worth it, not sterile uberclean plastic setting we tend to find this side of the wall, this feels authentic, and tastes like the best in Mexico. The quality of the raw materials ids the best I have seen, even in México. Could the setting be better? Who cares, the tacos are fantastic that’s all that counts.

Bravo to the owners, we wish you great success, and many years in business so that we may comeback many times.“

“I been following Chris and his dad before they got this taco truck for a few years now, glad to see them still going strong. They have some bomb tijuana style tacos. I like to get the asada and adobada tacos. My friend is obsessed with their asada papa loca (baked potato). I haven't tried it but I will order that next time. Don't forget the habanero onions and the chiles/cebollas toreados, So good! P.s. Check their Instagram to see when they are open because sometimes they do special events and I've shown up and they are not here because I forgot to check if they were there.“

“I highly recommend Tacos El Vaquero! We had a hard time finding a good caterer for our reception that could fit our budget and needs. Tacos El Vaquero worked closely with us to ensure they could cater our event and meet our needs. A great vendor, and my guests were so happy with how delicious the tacos were. As a host, that’s what you want to hear! 10/10“

“Too slow. Ridiculously slow.“

“As close to ensenada seafood without crossing the border 😎 Excellent“

“The Birria tacos and horchata are always great, and the staff is always very friendly and professional. Very tender and juicy tacos, very flavorful and always delicious. The sodas are very good as well.“

“If you're really hungry get the Carne asada Chimichanga fried Large burrito.!! It's Very Good. Will fill you up... So Large hard to eat in your car. You have to eat with a fork and knife. Because guacamole and sour cream all over it. It's Good.!!! Time for a nap now 😂“

Parking: Is next to a store so. He has a lot a parking. You will not struggle for parking“

“Tacos Tía Juana has the best tacos in the Chula Vista area! If you’re looking for something that truly tastes like home ( just like Tijuana ) this is the spot. The handmade tortillas are incredible, and their adobada is hands‑down the best. You really get what you pay for: quality, flavor, and tradición.
Their aguas frescas are super refreshing and delicious. This is a family‑owned business, and you can see the hard work and love they put into every single taco.
A must‑try for anyone craving authentic, home-style Mexican food!“

“yummy Birria amazing customer service 10/10 super recommended xolo tacos“

“I took my wife to try this tacos. The place is nice, but flies are a bad point. Food, at least, the one I tried, was good. ( Quesadilla and tacos de nervio). Salsa verde is more water than flavor. Staff, Samuel and Samantha are a plus to this place. They are friendly and kind. I recommend this place.“

“Birria Ramon lord the best I’ve had yet and I’ve tried a lot of places 🥰💋“
