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.“

“I don’t say this lightly—this place is hands down one of the best Mexican restaurants I’ve ever been to. The décor is colorful without being over-the-top, and the music added just the right energy to the dining experience.

Now, the food—absolutely incredible. We started with the super nachos, the guacamole inside was perfectly seasoned with just the right kick of lime and jalapeño. For the main course, I ordered the carne asada tacos, and they were out of this world. The meat was tender, juicy, and full of flavor, served on soft, handmade corn tortillas. My friend had the enchiladas verdes, and she couldn’t stop raving about the tangy green sauce and how everything was cooked to perfection.

What really stood out, though, was the attention to detail and authenticity. You can tell everything is made from scratch and with love. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive without being overbearing—our server even recommended a house-made horchata that turned out to be the best I’ve ever had.

If you’re looking for authentic Mexican cuisine that’s both comforting and flavorful, this spot is a must. I’ll definitely be coming back—and bringing more friends with me next time!“

“Have been coming here almost weekly for 4 years and it's always a highlight. One of the best. From the freshly made tortillas, to the always fresh Al Pastor, to Jorge's smiling face. Our favorite tacos and nachos in the County, and there's plenty of competition out there! The surf n turf nachos are killer and all the burritos are worthwhile, but I usually go back to the Pastor tacos. One of top 3 favorite spots of all time.“

“Loved this place! The food was amazing!!! Everything we ordered was delicious, but my favorite was definitely the tuna tostadas. And the churros for dessert were SO good. The staff was so friendly and welcoming, and the whole experience was amazing. 100% recommend!“

“Haggo's Organic Tacos is hands down my favorite spot in Leucadia. I genuinely crave it every week. The quality of the ingredients (and taste) is what keeps me coming back they use grass-fed beef, wild-caught seafood, organic produce, local ingredients, and avoid seed oils, which is surprisingly hard to find.

Everything tastes incredibly fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully made. Whether I dine in or grab takeout, the food is consistently delicious and never disappoints. It's one of those places where you can tell they truly care about both the quality of the food and the experience they create.

If you're looking for tacos made with exceptional ingredients that actually taste as good as they make you feel, Haggo's is a must-visit.“

“I've waited 15 years to try this place .. because I'm always rushing. Well, today I finally went in and had a meal. There is some front street parking, side parking and rear parking. There's also a bus stop less (101) than a block away but I walked to it from a nearby hotel. The notion of authentic food is obvious by the cashier's and cooks I had the opportunity to thank for such a delicious meal. I was fortunate enough to have my lunch to myself because no one was eating inside during my brief 1 hour there.. however there were non-stop to-go orders the whole time. I ordered my usual test food of Carne Asada Nachos and a Coke. The coke tasted like a coke should. It wasn't flat. The carne asada nachos were made with the exact amount of chips and fixings and meat. There was no chip eaten without something on it which is rare. Usually most places put too much chips. There was a good serving of guacamole, sour cream, unmelted cheese, pico de gallo and meat. It could easily feed 2 but I only ate 1x in the morning so this was my lunch and dinner. I opted for both red and green salsa .. which were both delicious. The red was slightly spicier but not too much. I have 1 before and 1 mid photos so you can see the balanced portions. In my opinion the cooks were nice and know how to cook in my humble opinion. The food was delicious and I'm definitely coming back tomorrow to test their breakfast burrito. I highly recommend coming in and trying their food. There's plenty to do in the area to walk off your meal afterwards. All in all .. definitely a monthly meal for me worth the extra 5 min drive from my office.“
