Very good food and a good place, a little expensive but to go occasionally it is fine but they should modify their prices so that people are more encouraged to go

Top notch, actually authentic Mexican food! Not texmex! Everything I've had here is superior to any equivalent dish I've had elsewhere, and I've been around a lot. I absolutely love their chilaquiles. They couldn't get better. I do prefer this location a little more over the one on El cajon blvd, but they're both good. It's literally the best Mexican food in San Diego.

The food is OK and the portions are fine, nothing overboard. It's convenient and quick. The space is small but the bathroom is crazy hidden and small. The owners and workers are nice though.

All the food I've had here is delicious, including the carnitas, of course. The prices are some of the best values in town. I moved to San Diego from the Bay Area 2 years ago, but this is probably the best taqueria style place I've found. The tacos are massive. Like, normally, I'm a 5-6 taco guy, but 3 tacos from Urupan leave me absolutely stuffed for ~$10. The staff is cool, the location is convenient, what's not to love?

I ordered what was supposed to be 1lb of carnitas.. it was definitely less & since i ordered through DoorDash I couldn’t return it .. the carnitas were okay overall.. lacked flavor but added some salt/lime/salsa and that made them okay.. you get about 5 tortillas which is crazy considering you’re ordering a 1lb of meat. I also decided to order the 8oz guac and it was disgusting! To say the least. I don’t know if it was old or what but it had this nasty rancid/bitter taste to it & unfortunately i could not spruce it up due the powerful awful taste it had. Would not recommend and definitely won’t be returning.. i wanted to try due to all the good reviews but it was a disappointment & a waste of money

Very good food, we ordered the dinner for two (Maciza) and loved it! The cashier was also extremely nice and welcoming. We have paid a lot more someone else for less quality. Definitely will be coming back!

In this place the cashier is very despotic and does not know what assorted meats are, she only gives you dough and buche and when you make a polite complaint, she tells herself that she is not obliged to say when she only has dough and in a very rude way, He gives you what he has left without saying that you swish and the mass is not supplied

The food is good but the staff serves you as if they were doing you a favor by selling to you, when you are the one doing them the favor by buying, the lady who served us everything was reluctant, and gave me the wrong order, the bathroom It doesn't even work for washing your hands, if I were the owner I would pay close attention to those details!
