These tacos blew me out of the water and the staff was so quick and friendly. The value is insane. For less than $5 a taco these bad boys came STUFFED with delicious goodness. I had the surf and turf and pescado—both incredible with excellent texture and flavour. When they came out I couldn’t believe what I had paid vs the inspired masterpiece in front of me. Some really great and interesting options on the menu—clearly the work of someone with a passion and incredible taste....

These really ARE the best tacos in San Diego!!!!! I might never come back to this side of the Continental Divide, but if I do.... please don't run out of Strawberry Margarita :D

Edit: I had the Portabella and Scallop Dream tacos. Scallop dream really was a dream.

Simple yet flavorful tacos. This is our go to spot for a quick taco bite. This visit, we tried the fish taco of month, carne asada , chili renello.
The taco of the month was delicious. The green beans added a nice flavor to the tacos. The service is quick and the servers are pleasant as well.
