This is not a fancy Mexican restaurant. That said, there is room to eat inside, and they have a patio in back. It’s casual, for sure. The food is amazing - seriously. These are chef crafted tacos. This is food you’d expect to see on “Beat Bobby Flay” or another Food Network show. The flavor profiles are excellent. The tortillas are freshly made. The portions are priced well - that said, I know guys who routinely eat 5-6 tacos when they come here… me, I can’t finish...

Great place, gets quite busy, but they do their best to hussle and food still comes out quick. Their loyalty program is pretty cool, I have gotten free food and discounts pretty regularly. Their taco of the month is also cool, always something new and interesting. If you aren't sure what to get the cochinita pibil and shank you very much are both delicious. Savory and spicy.

The cashier/waiter was super kind. I always go to City Tacos North Park but I really enjoyed this location in La Mesa as well. The best shrimp tacos are made here at City Tacos 😋🤤
