“very food“

“Great spot good food and the employees are the best“

“I would gladly come back here just for the asada tacos, they are really good. Beef was juicy and the meat seems good quality.

Also ordered the pastor which I didn't like (it doesn't come from a trompo), it was just like asada with extra sauce.“

“found the Las Vegas Sayulitas 2 yrs ago when staying at the Luxor. there burritos are beyond spectacular. big and so delicious. I can't say it enough. and the sauces on the little sauce bar are outstanding. I've never had anything like those sauces. the hot green sauce and hot red sauce are phenomenal. I like the green the best. I lived in AZ years ago. went back home to upstate NY. there is no place near me that even comes close. I love Sayulitas and wish I had one near me. you can't go wrong if you love Mexican style food“

“If you like a nice warm sandwich with fresh, crunchy vegetables and freshly baked, warm, crispy bread, then you have to try this place! They make some of the best sandwiches I've ever had, and I've traveled quite a bit. Their tortas are even better than many I've had in Mexico. The restaurant is clean, organized and efficient. You can eat there or take it to go. We really like the pork loin (lomo) but we'd enjoy any of them. If you've never had a torta sandwich, treat yourself and start here. I hope they stay in business! Please try them. You'll go back again.“

“Authentic! Very fresh. Great flavors in all varieties of tacos from carnitas to pollo to carne asada. Service was warm and friendly. Food served hot and delicious! Highly recommend this place if you're looking for some of the best Mexican food in San Diego!“

“One of the best Mexicans restaurants in San Diego area .“

“Great atmosphere,delicious food and marvelous customer service.“

“The number 2 Special. Beef and bean burrito with three rolled tacos and guacamole with choice of drink. Best in town!“

“Tacos were fresh and so delicious! Service was impeccable and the food options they had were phenomenal. I ordered the taco adobada and wife had asada, and I'll tell you we did not leave hungry! The agua fresca was delicious too! I definitely will stop by again if I ever head back to SD. Parking is limited too, but definitely worth the trip.“

“The foods great , staff is super friendly, my favorite item is the Torta Cubana (Cuban Style Sandwich) , my family always gets the Molcajete, parking can get full but there’s parking in the rear, just avoid parking in the hotels reserved parking. Definitely recommend“

“It was so promising with the chips and salsa. Best chips I've had in so long and the salsa has a great balance so it's spicy tasty without burning out your buds with spice. Then the waiting set in. There was only two other tables when we came in so I really thought it wouldn't be THAT long. Felt like at least half an hour and there was only three of us. Then the food came out and it was surprisingly small for the price. The costs are comparable to other places but the meals are definitely bigger elsewhere. The food wasn't cooked consistently. My plate was okay but one plate at our table was very underdone and one plate was very overdone. Overall, the experience wasn't bad but the feel of the place is more of a sports bar and the food quality is only okay with comparable prices to places as close as across the street.“

“Had lunch today at Primos and WOW! The Ahbundogas soup 🍜 is the best we’ve ever had. Four large meatballs that alone taste 👅 flavorful. come with rice and portion was great. even a little to take home for later. definitely coming back!“

“muy buenamuy rica la comida atención“

“Big thanks to Lourdes for accommodating my order. My guy was super sick in the ER. He just wanted caldo de pollo from Lourdes. But, the soup wasn’t listed on the GrubHub menu. So the gal took my order and payment over the phone for the soup and then added the soup to my GrubHub delivery. Best soup ever!“

“Love everthing especially the food“

“Birria Tacos are fantastic! Location fresh & lively and beers plentiful and delicious.“

“Stopped in for a quick bite while doing some laundry next door. Stupid good food!!!!!“

“I absolutely love this place. I have stopped in maybe three or four times now for lunch and it never disappoints. Im definitely not an expert in their cuisine but i do know when a spot offers an abundance of good food for a low price, and this hits that mark. The large plates of made to order food are affordable and the big ol' draft beer is great to wash it all down. The service is always with a smile and the restraunt is always very relaxed with some sports on the TV and families dining. 100% recommend stopping in for simple, delicious food, for not a whole lot of $$$.“

“I thought this would be just another chicken place but I was dead wrong. The taste in this this chicken is just too damn good. I'm going to be coming here until I get sick of it. You can't beat the price, you get a lot food and flavor for the same 15dlls you pay anywhere else“

“We usually love Albertaco’s and go here at least once a week. The service is always great and they have great prices. However the last couple of times we’ve bought food from here the carne asada tacos were all dried out the meat was chewy and very dry. In our opinion we were served old dried out carne asada. We were very disappointed our last couple of trips here. We can only hope they start serving fresh carne asada again.“

“esta muy rica la comida y muy bien atendidos“

“Original, super delicious Mexican joint for some good late night grub. The carne asada is cooked to perfection, the veggies fresh and guacamole perfectly spicy. The horchata is also refreshing and delicious. I'm looking forward to trying more and returning again!“

“I haven't been to all the locations but so far having only been to two I am extremely satisfied with this restaurant. I started to really give the fish taco some thought after I went to the first location and I can't stop getting fish tacos now.“

“Great food! Above fast food, not fancy, quality food for your hard earned $$$$“

“We love Shores. With football now starting, it is not so great. It is known as a Packers bar. Today there were 6 Packers fan and the rest of the other team fans had to listen to the loud Packers game. Also, one bartender saved seats for over 2 hours for people who didn't show up. That is not right for everyone who shiftwd seats to accommodate the regular guests. Not "shore" if we'll be back during football. I hope Pete figures it out.“

“Today around 6:30 pm my wife, my mother-in-law and myself went to eat our dinner and order several street tacos, including 2 tripas tacos asked those to be crunchy also 2 side orders of birria( in small cups). When the food ordered was arrived to our table we noticed the that the birria cups came without onions and cilantro, a food plate no matter the size of it, every Mexican Restaurant always comes with those 2 ingredients. We asked the waitress and she said that they don’t serve onions and cilantro with those side orders, we asked also for a couple of corn tortillas for the birria and we had the same response, no tortillas for side orders. My wife said to her” how about in a courtesy way to get those items, and again she denied. I asked who was in charge, and a guy who I think was the Cook came over and we asked the same questions. He said that he can bring the onions and cilantro but not the tortillas. My wife said then. “ We paid $50.00 and something else in the dinner and you can not in a courtesy way bring 2 tortillas for the birria?” Then he said to us , No! Then my wife said to him “ Really was expensive what we paid for our tonight dinner!”. He said then everything changed due to the pandemic and that everything will be more expensive! He was kind of rude in his response. Also is very important to mention that the tripas tacos were not crunchy, the meat was more like a chewing humans I needed to reminded about the salsas because they didn’t served with the tacos. It was really bad experience and will never come back to eat there. I don’t recommend the Taco Bar to eat lunch or dinner“

“I dined in tonight not expecting much. The place is older but very clean. The place was spotless. The food was much better than expected. There is a salsa bar inside with many options. I think there were 7 types of salsa, however, nearly all of them were too spicy for me. I enjoyed my food and the staff were all very nice!“

“Great food 9am Sunday for Breakfast“

“Been enjoying everything since I was 5 great food and better service love it“

“El auntentico sabor de Nayarit! comida deliciosa!mariscos y mas!!!“

“If I could give this place more stars, I would happily do so.

We came here for the first time with my mom, and we were so happy we came. Food was ABSOLUTELY delicious!!! Pupusas were delicious!! We are thrilled we found this place. We will be coming back ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Buen lugar para desahogar penas jaja echar una chela, un trago y pasarla bien un rato.“

“OMG! Del Taco you are so nice. I ran out to get a very late dinner of tacos � and a chicken burrito � to save for lunch tomorrow. I had my hands full of stuff I was putting in my trunk so I wouldn’t forget it in the morning and what did I do? I go through the drive thru and get to the window. I reach over to grab my wallet out of my purse and there’s no purse � . When the nice man came to the window, I apologized and told him I forgot my purse. He told me they were closing early to have some work done, and gave me the tacos. ���. You can be sure I’ll bring by the � in the next few days. I really appreciate not having to run all the way back home and then turn around and run all the way back to get some dinner. Thank you Del Taco and the nice man in the window.“
