“Coming from the Mexican food capital of the wold San Diego, it is hard to find spots that have the flavor one is used too. We seen the reviews and took a shot. Nice place, little small, but nice, clean, and good atmosphere, to be fair, we all ordered tacos. We had, carne asada, carnitas, pollo asada and birria. The pollo was a little dry but very food flavor and the carne asada was soft and good. Carnitas were very good, flavor and amount of meat in all the tacos were just right. Birria was also real good. The tortialls were corn, soft and good, they not thick and heavy. Salsa was good as well, same as most other taco shops. No Cali Burrtios or Carne Asada fries here, but no problem, good food, resonible price. Family restaurant, all the family works at Mr. G's, owner came out to greet us, as well as one other worker to see if we needed anything else. Great place.“

The birria knocked it out of the park! I ended up ordering an extra asada taco to try, and to finish off the consommé (no waste!). There's plenty of seating and a nice patio area. I liked the bench seats with the curved back, and bathroom was clean.“

“Hmmm, first time here since the rebranding.

Bartender a touch on the rude side.

As a longtime Delahunt customer(since opening), I’m a bit disappointed in the loss of the fish and brisket options. Nachos had queso sauce vs real melted cheese.

Otherwise, I had a tasty DIPA and everything else seemed status quo.

Tacos De Carnitas

“I'm a picky eater and like eating food prepared by the proprietar. No one cares more about customer experience than the owner: food quality, reasonable price and serving size, flavor, freshness, texture, and cleanliness.The owner and his wife excelled in all the above expectations and one more unexpected plus.Unlike many other taco trucks, they have barely raised prices over the past couple of years. I mentioned this while waiting for my order, and she shared that they decided to keep prices down for their customers because so many are struggling financially in this failing economy.Go out of your way if you can to support this taco truck. We need more good small businesses like this who care about their customers. And best of all, you will get amazing food !“

“Absolutely phenomenal! Professional, friendly, on time and helpful. We had Salsa Grill cater our party for 80 people and they were flawless. They are quick on the grill, very kid friendly. The staff was really sweet and helpful, the tacos were amazing, very fresh, the meats were not dry and had a ton of great flavor. I cannot recommend Salsa Grill enough, they will definitely cater all of my parties. I have also visited there taco truck, in fact my son used to rave about them they would go eat there after school and have the chicken tacos and always had a great experience. I am sad to see they have a few bad reviews, but I do not think it was the staff I do believe it was the location however they have recently moved. Please give them a try“

“This is a true "Hidden Gem" and a great example of a small mom & pop restaurant, serving some of the very best Mexican food I've eaten. ? ??No kidding and Not exaggerating this is my second visit, I actually found this place by accident (I was out on a ride & running out of gas in my motorcycle, as it turned out running out of gas was a good thing and this was just the place I needed, you'll understand what I mean when you come visit) On my first visit I ordered 2 tacos, one Carnitas, one Pastor and a drink, good sized tacos, the carnitas and pastor were both tender and flavorful made with fresh ingredients with great homemade sauces. Today I had the Chile Verde plate, ahhh mann!!! it was Sso good, fork tender pork in a rich Verde sauce, great fluffy Spanish rice with great refried beans topped melted cheese garnished with lettuce, tomatoes, guacamole and three corn tortillas. Great meal ? good value for the money about $13.00 bucks. Totally full when I left, I will return again, no doubt about it ?? they have a great menu. The staff is nice, very friendly and helpful. If you want to get away from the "same ol same ol" big corporate Mexican food restaurants and experience some very good authentic Mexican food with those homemade flavors and freshness you'd only find at your Mom's or Grandma's home, then this is the place you want to try. Now, I have to be forthcoming and tell you that this little restaurant is located at the East end of Alton, just on the other side of the 241, now don't let that scare you ? I know it's a little bit of a drive but trust me you and your belly are gunna be Sso Happy you did. ☺️Trust me, trust me, trust me ?Tell them Fred sent you. ?“

“I was in the mood for some authentic Mexican food and stopped at Taquiero Taco Patio to buy a "plain" carne asada taco as an afternoon snack to eat in my car. I was greeted by a friendly counter worker who took my order and invited me to wait for a few minutes while my order was being hand-prepared by the kitchen staff. \n\nThe carne asada taco was generously filled with lean seasoned steak, and accompanied by red salsa sauce, and tucked into a warm corn tortilla. The meat was hot, tender and flavorful! It was exactly what I wanted: a plain beef taco, without anything else. It was delicious!“

However that might be part of the delivery and the delay. Yet that would still tell me if I was in the restaurant and my fish sat for 15 minutes, while I ate, it would be soggy. Fish tastes good, nice batter. Fries aren't bad. Slaw... Echh not my favorite, A bit Dry.“
