CONGRATS… you have stumbled upon a review of the WORST taco shop in existence. Pretty sure it is a front. We got the shrimp tacos with side of beans and it was lukewarm unseasoned shrimp we barely took one bite and trashed it. Worried this place will give you E. coli. Absolutely absolutely disgusting. The most embarrassing food I have ever been served in my life. I have absolutely no idea how this place is open, let alone running in pacific beach where good tacos are abundant. I was so appalled I have never been so disappointed by a food place in my life. Unreal.

The carne asada tacos are melt-in-your mouth delicious! No designated seating area, but the view of the ocean is really great!

This is not related to Tacos El Gordo in National City that has the best tacos in SD. Unsure how they get away with ripping off the name

Delicious. The carne asada tacos were delicious, and the salsa verde was tasty. The fish tacos were good as well, but those carne asada tacos were impeccable

Not the real tacos el gordo. Don't waste your time. 11.99 for 2 asada tacos that were more like liver tacos. 1 bite and straight in the trash.

The location in downtown is way better than this spot. Mission Baja is also about a ten minute walk away from here and has much better tacos

Right along the Beach in Pacific Beach, very nice. The service, people, price's and food were all great! Sitting is limited. Definitely recommend them.

Fish tacos were great and it’s right on the beach. Why does it have so many one star reviews?
