Their tacos are absolutely delicious! I really enjoy their farm to table concept, with great guisado options and their aguas frescas that rotate daily. One of my favorites tacos is the shrimp poblano, and the mushrooms al ajillo is a must. The place is small, and may take a little time to come out when they are busy, but worth the wait. It’s one of my favorite spots for lunch, and glad it’s so close to me. I’ve been telling everyone about it!

Chef Juan González has created the most amazing “hole in the wall” sort of restaurant with the boldest and most beautiful flavors one can find in all of San Diego county. Guisados aren’t a common restaurant fare in our SD taco shop scene, but places like Super Cocina have been delivering for decades. Consider Mesa to be the upgrade to Super Cocina, stuffing guisados into homemade tortillas with optional rich Oaxacan cheese. We took home what seemed to be a delicious looking chocolate chip cookie, and wow - I don’t know what kind of gingerbread lover this cookie had, but the flavors were incredible and the cookie rivaled those baked at my favorite bakeries. Plus!! - the agua fresca flavors were unique and layered, loved both of the choices for the day. We don’t live near here at all (25 min away) but we will be back, over and over again!!

I promise you that this is the best Mexican restaurant in the United States. The food is all made from scratch and everything tastes soooo fresh. Jose was extremely friendly and made this stop a highlight of my trip!

Everything here has so much flavor and tastes amazing. You can tell the food is fresh and that they put a lot of dedication into their cooking. These are not your average tacos. Most of their meats are stewed so their is a lot of flavor. They also offer tasty vegan options. You can tell that their vegan options are not an afterthought and that they intentionally added vegan options to the menu.

The bomb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Service was impeccable, I loved all the recommended tacos I tried. The tacos were bigger than I thought with all the scrumptious toppings and seasoned so well.
Both the corn tortillas and flour tortillas were so well made (freshly cooked) and the flavors and textures were just 👌!!
The final touches with pickled onion, pumpkin seeds, and sesame seeds were also perfection.
Honestly the best quality tacos I’ve had after searching for good tacos in San Diego for a year. Finally we found legit guisado tacos!!!
(Vegetarian and vegan options available. The vegetarian papas taco was soooo good!!! So much flavors!!)
I saw this place thanks to social media a couple months ago and immediately went. This place is very small, so be aware of that.. also they do tacos or burritos. I don't want going and then complaining in a review about something so silly. They make lots of strewed meats and they change their menu up. They do so many different varieties of moles if you catch them on the right day. Today, I caught them when they had chicken with verde mole. I had to catch myself before I inhaled the tacos. They were very delicious. Shout out to the pineapple drink they had on deck. One of the tacos was the chicken tingas and the other was the cochinitas. I am glad I ordered their last two double chocolate cookies, by far the best double chocolate cookies I have ever had. They have grown very popular and I they keep growing as a business.
