If 6 stars existed I would give this place 6/5 stars. Great people, great food, and a great atmosphere. I would highly recommend this fine establishment to anyone in the area.

Tasty tacos. Fast service , clean restaurant. Liked the spicy shrimp taco a bit more than the Al pastor which surprised me. Both were tasty though

Food was OK, my wife and I ordered 3 birria tacos each with consome and a Mexican coke. X 2!!! This order came to $43. I was shocked but thought ok maybe it's the best ever. In the end I would say food was OK and if I ever go there again I would just go with TJ style combo's and save 20 bucks.

Great food at the beach. The adobada Burrito was excellent. They also have a salsa bar, the green and both reds I tried were amazing. The Pina drink was also tasty and refreshing.

Weekly specials are nice. A large variety of meats to try, they are all good to try. I liked the carnitas, asada, and adobada.Each taco is quite tiny, even for a mini taco.

Great local place for good and inexpensive taco if you get the $1.50 special! There are not a lot of “deals” in San Diego but this sure was one! Nice staff as well.VictorB

Ordered a steak and egg burrito that was $10+ dollars. Small burrito, all gristle. Is that a Mexican tradition? There’s 100 places around San Diego that do massive steak and eggs and they are awesome. Go somewhere else.

Dude, you've got to be messing with me. I'm drunk but oh my sweet baby goodness. Spicy food and Mexican are my jam. Ivan helped me order the most delicious wonderfulness tacos that have ever crossed my palet. .... neglect to eat here at your own detriment

I thought it was really actually quite good. At first I wasn't totally convinced but I can say for sure that the service was very good, the place was very personable and I definitely think it makes a good impression. The service is genuine and the service is good. I tried the California burrito. It also came with some salsa toppings and they put three little containers in there. I really was impressed, it was quite good and quite large and quite delicious. I definitely think that this is a good place. Personable service and nice location. Recommend. Especially in this area I think this is a nice find.

Adobada Burrito. Get it (if you like pork), it's amazing. Also very friendly staff and 3 kinds of salsa they make there (the red is ???).

1.50 tacos on taco Tuesdays! Great quality gourmet tacos. The flour tortillas were fresh and fluffy. Tortas are great as well with generous portions. Casual dining with indoor and outdoor seating. Service was friendly as well.

The best tacos around! Also good protein bowls, etc. this place is legit, authentic, and the staff is friendly! Shoutout to Victor & Ivan, who I'm always happy to see. They go above and beyond here and really care about their patrons. Muchas gracias! que Rico!

my first time here, prices are better than the place closer to my house. Good fish tacos especially on Wednesday when they are $1.50.

Been here for a couple years and found this place a few months ago. Best prices and best tasting tacos and Tortas so far in PB. Highly recommend taco Tuesday here.
