Best carnitas tacos in San Diego! I love when the carnitas is crispy but still tender and flavorful. Everything tastes very fresh, the guacamole, the beans, the salsas. Price is super fair. I’m now a regular for sure!

As San Diego native and a long time resident of Pacific Beach, I highly recommend La Playa Taco Shop. I always get their California Burrito (add sour cream). It's the best of the best when it comes to burritos. Their ingredients are top notch. You won't regret going here!

I accidentally left my purse on chair. The owner/manager kept it almost 24 hrs before I realized I left it. Everything in tact including over $300 cash. They are honest and have great food! We come here every time we visit SD! Thank you!

Fabulous taco shop. Great carne asada, and the chili relleno burrito was great. California burrito was the only letdown. Service was quick and very pleasant.

Good food but be prepared to wait for over an hour for 2 tacos! Not worth the wait!

My first visit to this restaurant today and I ordered combo #9 - two carna asada tacos with rice and beans. The good: carna asada tacos did not disappoint, the meats tasted juicy, tender and with good flavor. The pico de gallo and guacamole made the tacos taste delicious. The bad: the portion size for rice and beans were tiny, they looked nothing like the photo that showed big servings of rice and beans on the side. The beans I must say tasted watery. Also, to my surprise there wasn’t a salsa bar. So if you want a side of carrots or jalapeño peppers you have to pay. This was pretty disappointing. I still might come back and give them another chance, but next time I probably will just order the tacos only.
