About Tacos Alex

Tacos Alex is a charming hidden gem, easily mistaken for a house. It offers a small outdoor seating area and a salsa bar. The chicken burrito and carne asada tacos remain popular choices, alongside the delicious verde salsa. The el pastor tacos, filled with beans, cilantro, and onions, are favorites as well. A standout dish is the birria taco, which many customers have praised. The restaurant is known for its authentic TJ street-style tacos, attracting regular customers. Tacos Alex can hang with some of the greats from further down south, offering real al pastor on the trompo, fresh carnitas from the copper pot, and grilled asada. While parking can be limited, there is a large dirt lot available behind the Mexican Market next door. It is easy to access for those with wheelchairs, as there are no curbs or sidewalks that hinder entry. The homemade Orangeade is great and made with fresh ingredients, but portions are described as just okay. Despite some parking challenges, Tacos Alex continues to be a cute little taco place with quick service, a cozy atmosphere, and a welcoming vibe that makes customers want to return.
