The food is delicious and very reasonably priced and the service is top notch as the owner acts more like a long time friend welcoming you into his home. The business hours aren't the most flexible but to be honest going here shouldn't be your average taco shop experience. It is far superior.
Dietary restrictions: The owner was more than willing to accommodate changing out the meat for the nachos.

I live down the street and always wanted to stop in! Well I did today and I have to say the guy who answered the phone was amazing!! You don’t hear people too happy about their job but this guy loves his! Customer service like that just makes you want to come back! I always get Carne Asada Fries and the meat was seasoned perfectly.?I like the type of fries they used too! Stop and check them out, they’ll probably make your day. Sorry no pics this time. I’ll try and take some next time before devouring my food. ?

Everything you have heard about this place is 100% authentic. The Owner is without question a class act to the core. This is now one of my most favorite taco shops in all of San Diego. Can’t wait to come back. And short, bookmark this location.
Delicious burritos ? The owner is a great guy too, make sure to tip him extra, he's going through a tough time right now. We'll be back for more soon!

I had ordered a potato egg and cheese burrito from here once and got home and the potatoes were raw. So the next time I went I told the man I was in no hurry I would just like the potatoes cooked through. I get my burrito in less than 5 minutes and the potatoes are raw again. I politely tell the man they aren't cooked and ask for it to be cooked longer. His response was "I obviously can't please you, take your money back and go! ?

I heard about this place and decided to try it out. The food was delicious. The Carne Asada was seasoned just right. I ordered a burrito called Mar Y Tierra I believe. The shrimp in it was cooked perfectly. I know I can eat a lot so I ordered 2 pork tamales to eat with my burrito. I barely finished my tamales. I was so full but they were so good. I forced myself to keep going. The masa was perfect. Not dry or too mushy like some places. I ordered 4 more tamales to go. Two young kids were eating Carne asada nachos behind me when I was getting ready to leave. So I decided to buy them 2 tamales each. I told the owner I loved the tamales so much that I want the world to try them. When I was a boy my family always made tamales around this time of year. Ever since my brother died my family rarely makes them. When I took a bite today I damn near cried. It brought me back to my childhood. I haven't had a tamale like that since 2005.
