“My boyfriend and I came here just a few days ago and we’re already here again today this place is so good. The food is so fresh. I found them on Google randomly just looking for some good street tacos and they came through and this food was bomb. I definitely recommend 100% And it’s got really good prices. They don’t rip You off.. They’re definitely good quality. Great place to take the family for a quick lunch or just run and grab some food while you’re on lunch at work either one no matter what it is this place is the best. I got the Cameron & Carnitas
My man got the Cameron, carnitas,
& Al pastor 10/10 OK, so thank you“

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

“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“

“I recently tried Que Tortas after spending the day moving storage units and craving a good torta. I’m really glad I decided to give this place a try.

Gentleman behind the counter recommended the combo torta with pork loin and ham, and I ordered it as it comes — it was delicious. The flavors were on point, and I especially appreciated how soft and fresh the bread was, which really made the sandwich.

The place is clean and provided for a relaxing place to enjoy my torta.
They also offer a variety of healthier options. Since my girls love açaí bowls, I’ll definitely be bringing them here to try those along with their fresh juices (jugos frescos).

I’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend if you’re in the area and looking for a solid, authentic torta as well as other fresh food items.“

“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!“

“I can't tell you how delicious the food was here. I'm vegetarian and I still was able to get an exceptional meal. The chips and guac was incredible, The taco rolls were wonderful, The veggie burrito was very tasty and The virgin Pina colada was big and delicious. I'd go again for sure.“

“The food is always good here and the employees are always helpful and nice. This particular Frida's is located in a small food court so atmosphere is just a long room with tables and chairs serving multiple vendors.
Note: this food court is located in the same parking lot as the movie theaters which is a plus to get food when going to a movie.“

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

“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“

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

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

“Love everthing especially the food“

“I had carne asada and cabeza tacos which were very good. Very Friendly staff. The parking lot is so small we went at night and it was still full so I can imagine trying to get a parking. Spot during the day. Overall it's still a good spot to grab a bite. I recommend trying it out“

“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!“

“I am Mexican , I usually go to TJ for tacos , but here these tacos are the best in this side of the border , the adobada has their piece of pineapple 😱“

“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!“

“The best grilled chicken I've ever had! The seasoning is spectacular super juicy on the inside with that perfect golden crisp on the outside. Plus the grilled onions and roasted jalapeños give it the ideal touch. The place has a super cozy atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. 💯% recommended!“

“esta muy rica la comida y muy bien atendidos“

“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 $$$.“

“It’s a Taqueria… Go in… Order your Taqueria type food… Do not order regular Mexican food or be picky about anything… This is a Taqueria; go in, your order your food…it’s good, basic Mexican comfort food. Enjoy. No complaints…this is not fine dining. Would go back.“

“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 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.“

“Nothing facy but the food is solid! My burrito is huge and packed with meat from the first bite to the last. Fast food restaurant and there's no waiter serving except bringing the food to you. Servicing people are friendly and patient. I will go back again.“

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

“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.“

“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 service and delicious pollo con tajadas…“

“excelente sabor, y la mejor atención“

“I dont really care for their chicken butt. But guess what? Hahaha see what I did there. Grow a chicken pair and wear feathered underwear. Cuz it got crazy chickens there so try not to stare and eat there if you dare. But I don't really care for the crazy chicken find me chicken at KFC or Popeyes Popeyes I believe has the most expensive Chicken on the planet. Fun fact“

“The BEST Mexican Panaderia around North County! Tops! My Madre only buys her Bolillos & pan dulce here....she always has something to say about "other panaderias" if someone else suggests pan dulce or bolillos from somewhere else.. she kinda has them as “

“esta muy rica la comida y muy bien atendidos“

“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.“
