“The best tacos I have had in San Diego . Great service and really good food“

“Food is always good. I think they have the best adobada tacos! I like ordering it with pineapple. The only downside is they are a little slow on service. There were only 5 people in front of me and it took 40 mins to get my order. However, the food was worth the wait.“

“I stumbled upon this restaurant while watching YouTube travel guides for our upcoming trip to San Diego. We love unique dining experiences, so this seemed like our kind of eatery. The food & service was excellent. The owner checked on every table & takes pride in his restaurant which shows in the quality of the food. The head meat tacos were excellent! We also loved the consomè con carne soup.“

“We stopped here for a quick lunch. I'm so happy to have a nice sit-down restaurant for birria so close to our house. The staff was very friendly and offered suggestions. I tried the burrito Tatemado and loved it. The crispy meat and the tortilla were perfect and, when dipped in the consomé, it was heaven. My wife tried the birria bowl with the dipped tortillas and really appreciate the heartiness of the meal. The food came out incredibly fast and was cooked to perfection. We will definitely come back! The music was a little loud for our taste but it made for an authentic experience.“

“The absolute best little diner that I have ever eaten in. You have to sit at the bar to get the full experience. I come eat here every time I visit my son that’s in the Marines.“

“Que buen burrito de camaron y ensada y bastante arroz atendido por el dueño, excelente atencion de Luisa 😷😎👍“

“Had the green sauce chicken Enchiladas... was exactly what I was looking for! Guaranteed authentic, I wasn't too sure about the beans, but the rest of the food made up for it. They sat a party of 8 for breakfast, which you'd want to get there early or else you'll be standing outside, yes even on a week day.“

“great coctel de marisco. food flavorful great service“

“great food, any meal. my favorite is the Chile rellenos“

“el sabor,y los condimentos, todo muy rico“

“Every time we come, they offer us some free tacos while waiting for our food (they are always delicious). We usually come in the morning for menudo which is also amazing, you can add a pigs foot to it for even more flavor. Everything is fresh and tasty and the staff are very friendly. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“The best tacos hands down! Visited in Chula Vista, CA! 🤤“

“I'm giving it 4 stars because lately, the tortillas taste OLD. Before the tacos were soft, not chewy. The tostadas were breakable and crunchy. Lately, they are not that breakable and crunchy. The service is excellent!

Wheelchair accessibility: They have both low tables with removable chairs and pub tables with stools. For a wheelchair or walker with a seat, you can just remove a chain.“

“Tucked in a corner known mostly to locals, Garcia's Mexican Food is a hidden gem I discovered through social media. It's small, with limited parking, offering both cozy indoor seating and take-out. Opting for the carne asada plate, I was quickly served by the friendly staff. The food, especially the carne asada, had a great flavor to it. The flour tortillas that came with my meal were also very tasty.Owned by a welcoming family, this place adds a personal touch to the dining experience. I'm looking forward to returning for breakfast. If you're after a spot that feels exclusive and serves great food, Garcia's is it.“

“Their food is amazingly delicious!!! They have great customer service and place is clean. To bad they are only in San Diego 😞“

“La preparación en los desayunos están bien sazonada muy buen sabor“

“Great place to celebrate your birthday!! ❤️🥰🎉🎂🙏🏻“

“Our first time to this restaurant did not disappoint. Our server, Kaylee, was amazing. She was so friendly and checked in on us just the right amount of times to make sure we never needed anything. She was also great with giving menu recommendations. The chips and salsa were good. The short rib Machaca chimichanga was delicious. It was my birthday and they had a birthday card on the table for me, which was really nice. They also gave me a complementary dessert. The food was delicious and Tuesdays they have all day happy hour. They have TVs with sports in the bar which is nice. I will definitely be coming back.“

“Honestly this is one of the best places I’ve ever tried, recommended 100% definitely try the carnitas and the tortas they’re my favorite! The crepes they have are so good too! I recommend the Nutella Banana one, it’s just so good.“

“Best tacos you can ever have. Love going on Saturday & Sunday mornings to eat fish tacos.“

“Yo recomiendo 💯 Dolche Café Chiquito pero bonito y acogedor lugar. Muy rica la comida, muy buenos precios Y Excellente Servicio. Ahora unos de mis lugares favoritos 🫶🏻“

“They are right outside a liquor store in a parking lot, which I love. Honestly, when I saw that, I knew I had to try them. They are open everyday starting at 5pm. They have a large variety of food options. We tried the asada and adobada. Probably the best weve had so far. It's very difficult to find good authentic tasting tacos in the U.S. in my opinion. These were so good that we're going to come back. They are family run and they are very nice.“

“I mean!, you really have to come and eat their super yummy food! Si eres mexicano y vives acá (ya tú sabes) te va a saber a mexico 🇲🇽! Real authentic Mexican comida!“

“Their food is amazingly delicious!!! They have great customer service and place is clean. To bad they are only in San Diego 😞“

“There drinks omg they're great much better than other places. If this restaurant was located in a much more populated area I believe it would be a very popular spot and they're food isn't to shabby either you can call this place A hidden gem“

“El mata hambre me gusto mucho. Los visitaremos en nuestra próxima visita a San Diego.“

“El mejor pollo todo riquísimo me encanta toda su comida y atención los mejores burritos de san diego“

“I ordered a Healthy Breakfast Bowl on line for pickup. I decided to dine in and was amazed at how good it was. It was literally packed with tender shredded chicken. Other ingredients not in the description were onions and tomatoes. It was piping hot and very satisfying. I will definitely be reorder in the future.“

“First of all everyone is so nice here. It is so refreshing. I love the Salsa both red and green are delicious. Graciela’s Tacos are my favorite along with the veggie burrito. And don’t forget the chips and the American guacamole 😋Graciela’s is my favorite taco shop highly recommend!“

“11/22' Cool little taco shop tucked inside a shopping plaza close by the 905 & border. What led me to this was the Xmas outlet they had here by following the sign off otay mesa. Had the adobada burrito. Not the biggest but had plenty of flavor and the red salsa was ? for around $8. I would visit again if im around

Vegetarian options: Bean & cheese burrito

Kid-friendliness: Kids meal options

Parking: Plenty of parking“

“This place is my fave spot for take out. I called five times to place an order as I’m already driving there and 3 of the 5 times they answered and hung up!. Are you guys not taking orders over the phone anymore? Cause that’s just rude to answer and hang up when people drive the distance to grab food from “

“This was not only delicious with a huge menu of selections, but also very clean and accommodating. They brought out a beautiful spread for our menudo and everything was just rolled up so purposefully. We will definitely be back, huge portions and everything tasted great and fresh!“

“Great food, great service!“

“Conozco Casa Don Diego desde hace muchos años, mí esposo trabajo aquí cuando eran otros dueños, pero siempre ha mantenido lo auténtico en sus platillos, hoy su ambiente es aún más agradable, sus noches de Karaoke, su DJ, Moises Naranjo, es de lo más profesional, agradezco su atención, cordura y tolerancia cuando hay quienes demanda atención especial y con prepotencia y groserías pierde el control y educación. Pero estos son gajes del oficio. La comida y atención exquisitas. Ampliamente recomendado!!!“

“gran lugar, excelente comida y atención“

“Very good food 🥘 very good service“

“large portions, tasty food and the price is right“

“Tacos are delicious here. We catered from them for our reception and the guests said wonderful things about their tacos. Very fresh and good quality. The owner is responsive and the workers were friendly as well. I’m so happy that I found them. I’ll definitely cater from them again.“

“Let me tell you, when you dine in, they really give you a generous portion—much more than what you’d get with a to-go tray. I highly recommend dining in to get the best value. I’ve been coming here since I was little, and the staff is always very friendly with no issues ever. I do miss the little sauce serving area they used to have, but I understand it was removed due to the pandemic.“
