Excellent tacos- we shared the birria, pescado, and mushroom- very tasty and very filling. Wonderful salsas on the side. Nice outdoor sitting area which was great since the music inside was a bit loud. Perfect location.

We ate here accidentally after we waited for Thai food next door and got annoyed by line. It was a sign from the Gods! This place is amazing and they make the tortillas and salsa fresh. We were so happy. We will be back.
Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options were limited to mushrooms and nopals but good enough for me!

Whenever I am in San Diego, I always try to find a great California burrito. The carne asada, gauc, and fries go so well together. This place has an excellent one that is very authentic to this area. Brings me back to when I was stationed here and got them all the time. The salsa bar is great, too, with a huge selection. Service is fast and very convenient for a quick lunch.
