19 Best Taco Restaurants in Oceanside

“Good Beers and great customer service 🍺“

“If you are looking for authentic, fresh street tacos, Los Tacos is an absolute must-visit!
What immediately sets them apart is their handmade tortillas—you can taste the quality and fresh texture in every single bite. Every item is cooked to order, so everything arrives hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The staff works like a well-oiled machine; everyone is actively working, keeping service fast and the dining area spotless with clean tables ready to go.
Their salsa bar is another huge highlight, packed with so many options that you can customize every taco to your exact liking. Plus, you can't beat their $2 Taco Tuesday deal for this level of quality. Incredible food, great value, and top-tier service. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“My must stop spot when visiting California! Food is amazing and the staff goes above and beyond.“

“I am Mexican , I usually go to TJ for tacos , but here these tacos are the best in this side of the border , the adobada has their piece of pineapple 😱“

“les recomiendo los tacos estilo tijuana los jugos 100 frutas 😃“

“Los Tacos is so delicious! We’ve been coming here for years! I love Maria’s fresh homemade tortillas! Best tripas, and Al Pastor tacos!!! Delicioso! 😋“

“This was the best California burrito I've ever had. I also got the carne asada tacos and the meat was cooked to perfection. The salsas at the salsa station are all delicious. You can tell all the ingredients are fresh and seasoned well.“

“If there’s one place you HAVE to go in SoCal it’s Jose’s taco shop. As soon as I walked in I knew this experience would be one unlike any other. The cashier was lovely and went out of her way to help me, a kindness I deeply appreciate. The food was delivered promptly and I cannot even begin to describe the culinary excellence I consumed. My beef taco and Coke might as well have been made by God himself. Eating my taco and listening to the sounds around me, I felt tethered to the earth in a way I haven’t in a very long time. I felt appreciative of the little things and the drive to live my life in pursuit of good food and great memories. So thank you, Jose’s taco shop. Thank you for teaching me that life isn’t about making money, or being important— it’s about those moments where you just get to settle down and eat some good freakin food.“

“Had three different tacos Brisket was awesome Other two very good But brisket!!!“

“Valerie’s Taco Shop is always a go-to for me whenever I’m in SoCal. I stick to my usual every time because it never misses. The carne asada burrito is loaded with flavor and perfectly satisfying, and the shrimp ceviche is always fresh and so well done.

Service is fast, portions are generous, and it’s one of those spots you can rely on without thinking twice. If you’re nearby and want something consistently good, this is an easy yes.“

“wow!! great food, great experience! order inside and then go outside and watch them cook it fresh!!!“

“Very authentic, off the beaten path, with mostly real Mexican locals dining in so you know the food is good!

Vegetarian options: Not too much to choose from. The beans and rice were amazing!I opted for an avocado burrito.Would be nice if they fresh mushroom to offer. Would come back just for the beans and the uncrowded location!“

“The drive thru is typically always quick at this location. The food has always been freshly made never cold, never room temperature either. It is always good.The one working the drive thru is very friendly and demonstrates excellent customer care. I enjoy hearing them say "you, got it" "would that complete your order?" (instead of saying is that all) "have a good night".“

“The food was hot and really a good. The service was great. The staff was friendly. I would definitely come back to this Taco Bell. Everything was made to perfection. The only thing I would caution against is the drive-thru because of how narrow it is. It literally gave me a panic attack“

“It's on the way home from work so I end up a couple of times a week and I got nothing to complain about , everyone's been nice , food is correct every time , drive through moved pretty quick , and best of all they got Baja Blast .“

“haven't been to jack in the box for almost 7 years since I moved to Nebraska. And I'm on vacation was just there yesterday and there tacos and breakfast sandwich was amazing and those curly fries. Made my vacation even alot better :-)“

“It's a fine KFC. Food was fresh, service was quick, main area was clean, staff was friendly. French fries were amazing, highly recommended.KFC- spring for real plates!!! Handing out paper serving trays are not an attractive look for eating your food. If you want your product to be considered food, served like food. Presentation matters!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Arely is that girl

We don’t usually write reviews, but this one is way overdue. Me (Anthony) and Joaquin come to this Jack in the Box on Oceanside Blvd & College religiously—late-night cravings, post-drive-thru therapy sessions, whatever—and honestly? Arely is the only reason we keep coming back.

She’s not just good at her job—she’s phenomenal. Always bubbly, friendly, fast, and just has this natural energy that makes the whole place feel less like fast food and more like somewhere you actually wanna be. We’ve dealt with the manager before and... yeah, we MUCH prefer Arely. No disrespect, but she just handles things better. Period.

She makes you feel seen, she gets the order right, and she manages to be super professional even when it’s late and she’s probably exhausted. Plus she’s cute as hell and has that glow that makes you smile back without even thinking.

Jack in the Box—if y’all know what’s good for you, you’ll do whatever it takes to keep her happy. Because for us, she’s the face of this location.

Give her her flowers. She deserves it.“

“I've been going to Jack in the box for a long long time.. it is much more expensive than it ever used to be but that's not necessarily their fault as inflation has hit everything for all of us...

Every once in awhile I'll treat myself to a dinner with my favorite ultimate bacon cheeseburger.. it's a childhood favorite of mine.

Staff are always extremely friendly and I definitely give them a thumbs up for that but the price of the food and how much they give you could definitely be increased...

Thanks again Jack in the box for childhood favorite items. I'll continue to come back every once in a while

Is it the best food? No.... Is it the cheapest? No... But Jack in the box definitely has a flavor and a favorite burger of mine that every once in awhile I love to get and it is good... I enjoy it...“
