Great tacos, I can only speak about their tacos de adobada because that's the only thing I've tried here.

I had Al Pastor tacos and they were great. Wish they sold beer.

I had adobada and carne asada tacos. Con todo. With everything. Delicious. Go on Taco Tuesday, IF you can get in. TJ Tacos makes street tacos very close to what you would get in Tijuana, without the having to be in Tijuana part. Which is nice.

Go eat fabulous street tacos at TJ Tacos. They are yummy!!

The salsa is hot. I liked it, but it is definitely not guerrita salsa. If you think Taco Bell salsa is hot, you should go easy on this. You have been warned

My pick for the best tacos in the SD area. Most places generally have pretty similar tacos but the tacos here are truly unique and a cut above. Even though it's got over 4k reviews on Google, it isn't that crowded, probably owing to how far it is from the main SD metropolitan area. Even on a Friday night we were able to find ample parking and seating.

Food was good, not the best I’ve had, but definitely manageable. The service was amazing, and the atmosphere was perfect, which really made the experience better overall. I wouldn’t say I’m in a rush to come back, but it’s definitely worth trying at least once.

Food was Okay, Steak was flavorful, but the guacamole which has an up charge was completely flavorless, the pork meat was also dry and flavorless without the sauce or pineapple on it. Horchata was okay. Restrooms was the main disappointment, no soap, and smelled bad as well as graffiti all over the sink. But good service and nice people, 4/10 overall.

This is my go to taco spot right after I finish a long day at the Safari Park. It never disappoints.

EVERYTHING with adobada is perfection. The meat of cooked perfectly and the salsa that they throw on top is amazing.

We usually get asada tacos and plain quesadillas on the side. I’m not sure why, but a plain quesadilla always tastes really good on a flour tortilla.

They have plenty of drinks available including aguas frescas such as horchata.

The only down side to this place is that it’s pretty small considering how popular it is. If you go during their busy hours you may have to wait for seating, sit outside, or eat in your car. They do have a drive thru so that’s okay too.

Very authentic and delicious street tacos! We have expected to come try this one for a long time because we saw some local food bloggers really recommend here. And it is very impressive and the meats are very tasty. The price is nice and service is good as well. Restaurant is clean and comfortable.

This felt like a fast food joint for Tacos. Plenty of options and dine in tables. Plenty of parking as well. Good options if you are craving tacos around the area.

Got a carne asada taco that was okay and an a adobada taco. The adonada tasted weird, had some sauce on it that smelled sour. As I was eating it I knew I should just throw it away but I was too hungry.. I've been sick for the last 3 days. Won't go there again. Trust your instincts if you guys order the adobada.
