40 Best Taco Restaurants near Lakeside

“I love getting carne asada fries from here. The lady cashier is fantastic and I always appreciate it when she takes my order. I was hesitant to get Mexican food from Lakeside but Sarai's turned me into a believer, so now I come here exclusively for my CAF. Highly recommend!!“

“Rude and your order is never right. What a shame to be the only place open for a person like me. Who works till 2am and on the regular gets screwed over by a franchise restaurant. Spoke to the manager a few times and unfortunately was uncooperative , unbelievably rude and condescending. It amazes me how some people are in the fast food industry. If you can’t stand the heat. Get out of the kitchen.“

“very good food, blue tacos for the win“

“Excelente comida!!! Todo con un sazón espléndido…. Gracias por su magnífica comida!!!“

“Great local place for some Mexican food. There is plentiful parking, a small indoor eating area and a small shaded outdoor area.
Large menu to choose from. I had the rolled tacos and the fish taco, both delicious! Particularly loved their salsas - both the red and the green and distinctive and delicious.
Service can be hit or miss at taco stands - in this case, the guy at the counter was chill and friendly and paid careful attention to my requests. Really impressed!
I'll be back for sure.“

“We were a party of five at your Le Mesa location on 3/22/26 and I believe our server's name was Diana. Our experience was absolutely fantastic! The food was superb, the facility was spotless and every member of the staff that interacted with was professional, helpful and friendly. Diana was fantastic! She has the perfect balance of friendly efficiency, light humor to match our personalities and spot on timing to check in with us. We can't wait to visit again! Thank you.“

“Super delicioso 😋 super recomendado“

“Literally the best food I’ve had in a decade. So much flavor, insanely sized servings, zero disappointment - even after having to reheat briefly in the microwave because I live Hella far away. I ordered delivery and provided a photo to Uber Eats but inhaled it before I could take one to my camera roll. I’ve already googled the address and will be going there in person ASAP.“

“very clean, very friendly and welcoming ladies, thank you for my bogo raspado!“

“Best bacon, eggs, cheese burrito with sour cream and a hot sauce is great!! Real bacon and it’s throughout the entire burrito on the first bite all the way to the last bite plenty of eggs plenty of cheese plenty of sour cream just the way I love it. Hot sauce is perfect. The red hot sauce best guaranteed biggest burrito in town price is normal just like any other place. I give them five stars.“

“We've used them twice now, first time was for the 4th of July and second was for my husbands holiday party. The tacos are consistently good, love the tortillas & the salsa is BOMB! It's HOT but it's BOMB! Maria is so nice and easy to work with, we cannot wait to use them again!“

“Monster Taco's the BEST!“

“I am not going to lie but those Birria quesa-tacos and the consomé uff hit on the spot ???????????????? best birria!!! The service is perfect, they treat you really well, This my new to go spot when I am craving birria 10/10.

Parking: Is next to a store so. He has a lot a parking. You will not struggle for parking“

“el respeto al cliente y la calidad de la comida“

“I’ve been to this restaurant a few times, and it never disappoints. The pizza is thin, crispy, and loaded with flavor. I especially love the one with prosciutto and arugula. Staff always treats you like a regular, even if it’s your first time. Love that.“

“Best mexican food around! Pollo asado burrito kicks butt!“

“I had a great experience at Habibi Taqueria! The pollo asado burrito was delicious—perfectly seasoned, tender, and wrapped in a soft, fresh tortilla. The flavors were spot on, and every bite was satisfying. The service was excellent as well; the staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was just right.“

“Classic taco shop that's open 24-hours with a drive-thru for late night cravings. Favorites include: rolled tacos (get the chicken, ask for them a little less crispy) and get yourself a 10-pack! Chile Rellenos combination includes 2 fried, egg battered, cheese-stuffed poblano peppers and includes beans & rice. Lastly, there's the chicken salad. Hold on, hear me out... It's loaded with lettuce, diced red onion, sunflower seeds, a surprisingly generous amount of grilled chicken AND avocado, topped with grated cheddar cheese, and comes with both ranch dressing and a very tasty green color Caesar dressing! It's made fresh when you order and the portions are generous too.“

“Loved it was 29 years since I had Jacks the ultimate cheese burger awsome back and now“

“My local Jack in the box. Never had a bad experience here. My latest addiction is fill out the receipt survey then next trip two for one jumbo Jack's. And repeat. Used to get donation $1 cirly fry but I think it's over now boo. Late night munchy meal boxes and crazy and so good but soo bad for you lol.“

“Andale! Best tacos in town! 🌮🌮🌮🌮“

“Really clean place!“

“I usually only go to Jack-in-the-Box when it’s a last minute and I’m too tired to cook for my kids but every time I have come to this Jack-in-the-Box location my Service was top-tier. Luna actually was helpful. Got my drinks right my order has always been correct when she’s on duty and she’s so nice. Asks if I want extra sauces with my order I’m usually a plain Jane, but the egg rolls have been really good lately and she recommended them and I don’t know why I’m usually not an eggroll person, but I have been getting eggrolls ever since she suggested them“

“O plenty of good American-Mexican food i delighted and craved eating. Different Mountain Dews too.

The purple carbonated liquidy drink was so delicious. I even and maybe oddly got a refill. I ate French fries with a heated up cheese sauce that was super savory.

My favorite item I ate after ordering, reaching that moment, till I unraveled the burro. It had potatoes, factory meat most likely, and cheese. Stuffed and rolled the flour tortilla was.

I did not like the slider tbh. It tasted nasty and I was thinking maybe it was the lettuce. Yet, most likely the white ranch sauce gave it a grossness.

I am fortunate and lucky, completely grateful to God. That I spent time with Babu'. He really fathered me and had a meal with me on the twenyth of Febuary, just the tenth day starting at the tenth when it is his birthday celebration.

If Taco Bell brings back the doritto crunchy taco. I'm most likely going to order it. I know the chalupa is one of my favorite items. And the little bowl of black beans and Mexican rice was healthy and delightioushy.“

“Really good flavor!! We got pollo asado burritos and added rice, beans, sour cream and pico. Lots of flavor. Only complaint I have is the fact that the burritos literally only come with the meat and cheese. I don’t understand that. So after I added all the normal burrito ingredients the price was SO high. Paid $37 for 2 burritos and a cheese quesadilla“

“I had a great experience at this restaurant. The food was delicious, the prices were very fair, and everything came out right on time with no long wait. The customer service was excellent and the staff made us feel very welcome.

If you decide to go, I highly recommend going in the morning and asking for Alex. He is the best very professional, friendly, and takes great care of his customers. He really makes the experience even better. Definitely coming back again!“
