Of the Rigoberto locations, I think I prefer the one in La Jolla. I’m giving this spot 3/5 stars primarily due to the quality of the California burrito I had last night, which was subpar as far as San Diego goes.
Let’s start with the good. The salsas were great, especially the habanero and salsa verde. Very delicious and well-balanced. The tortilla on the burrito was also really good and had the mouth feel of a handmade tortilla. Service was normal for a fast-food spot, and the atmosphere was fairly standard classic taco shop.
Now onto the bad. The burrito was very, very greasy. It also only contained carne asada, fries, and cheese—kind of a skimpy version of the classic California. I get that the economy is tough, but at least put pico de gallo if nothing else. It’s hard to call a 3-ingredient California a “California” with a straight face.
Overall, it’s hard to justify paying $13 for this burrito. I woke up the next morning feeling a bit sick, too. Nothing crazy, it just was that greasy. I’ll probably avoid this spot in the future.

The Breakfast Burritos are my favorite. Make sure to ask for the bacon in it extra crispy. The chorizo burrito is good but can be greasy, I made the mistake of opening up my burrito and had to rewrap it in a new tortilla because it was so soaked in grease. It tasted pretty good though. I wish they had more options for hot sauces or a salsa bar. Red and green are your only options here. Overall, they aren't the best but no way are they the worst place to eat it at. I go here regularly and I would rate them a little above average. Their prices aren't too bad compared to some places that have raised their prices 50% or more in the last few years charging $18+ for a carne asada burrito so I'm glad for that. Overall, I would recommend going here if you want cheap prices and good decent food.

Rigoberto’s Taco Shop serves up great food with bold, satisfying flavors—definitely worth the visit if you’re craving authentic tacos. The indoor setting is clean and inviting, and the outdoor seating is a nice bonus when the weather’s good. That said, the bathroom accessibility could use some improvement as it’s a bit awkward and not the easiest to get to. Still, the overall experience and food quality make it a solid choice.

No frills, good food. I got the menudo. I’m not sure if I ordered it wrong but it didn’t come with hominy so I was a little disappointed by that but the tripe was great. Easy parking too.
