12 Best Taco Restaurants in Encinitas

“Friendly service, clean and really good food. Support the locals and have a local brew“

“Definitely the best tacos in Mission Valley. The Taco Tuesday special is a great value. Friendly people. Once you try them, you won't go anywhere else.“

“One of the best chain mexican food spots in north county. Los Tacos not only has quality food but their service is impeccable. I ordered an ABC breakfast burrito but accidentally gave me an original breakfast burrito. I let the staff know and they quickly corrected the mistake. Both burritos were delicious. I would easily come again.“

“We stopped by accident and had asked if they had smoothies because my son had gotten his wisdom teeth removed. Pavlo came from the kitchen and had advised me to go to the La fitness as they sold smoothies there. We went back to eat there and the food was delicious. I highly recommend this place for anyone as the food is delicious and the customer service is amazing.“

“Punta Mar was AMAZING! The service was sooo good - everyone was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely made the experience special. And the food? Even better than the pictures!

As someone who has spent time in Mexico City and knows how good Mexican food can be, I can honestly say I was impressed. The pictures really don’t do the food justice—you have to try it for yourself!

Everything was delicious, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. Thank you Jake for your amazing service.“

“Awesome food prepared very well worth the wait! Delicious surf and turf! I was looking for the corn on the cob and churros but they ran! Super popular!“

“best fish tacos I've ever had. every time I'm in town I make it a point to go there at least once.“

“Absolute 10/10 taco spot! Everything was so fresh, and full of flavour. Big bonus points for being organic. I was torn between the shrimp and Baja so got both, but would have preferred the Baja fish tacos all in. I would say they were in the top 3 I’ve ever had while in California! Menu was huge too with a lot of selection. Tortilla chips were perfectly cooked, and I regret not buying a bag before leaving. Hot sauce selection (which they bring to your table) was also fantastic, and a perfect addition to the beans or chips if you’re into a bit of spice. Absolutely recommend hitting this spot up when you’re in the area. Seating can be tricky when it’s busy, but definitely worth the wait! Also dog friendly which was a bonus 😊🐾

Food I had:
Two taco plate with shrimp & Baja fish“

“We used Juanita’s taco shop to cater a Celebration of Life party on Moonlight Beach less a mile away. Ricardo and the rest of the team were first class all the way. We ordered Carne asada, Pollo asada, beans, rice, corn tortillas, chips and salsa for 50 guests. My cousin picked up the order that morning and the staff brought it out to her car. We served it Hot and delicious on the beach under a beautiful tent and all of our guests absolutely loved the food and complimented it many times. In fact we finished the last of it days later. I’m writing this because sometimes you don’t know who to trust and who is over pricing you and the food was the most important part of our celebration. Thank You Juanita’s. Thinking up another party to serve your food.“

“the birria tacos are good I recomend them“

“It's been a few years since I've been to a Jack...wow. I'm impressed. Excellent food, excellent service, spacious, comfortable dining room, clean restroom. One thing I noticed was the dining room is QUIET. There's music playing but there aren't 4 beeping alarms going off in the kitchen at all times. Keep up the good work!“
