“What a fantastic discovery in San Diego. Everything we ordered was prepared perfectly and tasted incredibly fresh.

The tacos were packed with flavor, and I especially loved the generous amount of cilantro and onions on top. It is rare to find a place that puts this much care into their presentation.

We also really enjoyed the iced coffee. It was the perfect refreshing finish to a great meal. We will definitely be back soon.“

“We ordered the shrimp tacos and chicken tacos. The shrimp tacos were so good my husband ordered more to go, then ate them in the car. They are battered, deep fried but the breading is thin and the shrimp are large. They also bring a tray of sauces so you can try whichever ones you want on your tacos. We will definitely visit again when we already in town.“

“Hands Down the best carnitas of all of San Diego. My family and I always buy our carnitas here. We get the carnitas by the pound and they are delicious 😋. They also catered 2 of my party events my baby shower and my daughter's 1st communion at a reasonable price. I said I wanted for 50 people and they set it up in party trays and I picked it up. It came with everything: carnitas, rice, beans ,3 salsas, chiles with sauted onions, guacamole and chicharrones. To ensure that they stayed walm i put the food on party trays warmers. My guest loved it and was a hit ♥️🙏“

I ordered the surf and turf and added adobada. Super good! They use black tiger the shrimp for shrimp and if you know about shrimps that’s the best you can get !

10/10 recommend“

“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.“

“This location has great customer service and delicious food. Get yours togo during these times. Pic: Carne Asada Fries and Torta Especial with Mexican Coke“

“Carnitas Las Michoacanas is a quick, no-frills spot that does exactly what it promises—great carnitas. The portions are generous, easily enough for two people, making it an excellent value.

They serve your meal with two generous squeeze bottles of salsa—one red and one green. Both are packed with flavor, complementing the carnitas perfectly without overwhelming them with heat.

If you're on your lunch break or just craving a great taco without the wait, this is definitely a spot worth checking out.“

“La Sinaloense is a family owned restaurant that serves authentic cuisine from the Sinaloa region of Mexico.

I ordered the tostada del viejon for dinner. The presentation was stunning. It was a really great dish, it looked as good as it tasted. The dish was made up of the freshest ingredients and had lots of flavor.

I also had the jamaica. It was good. It was a nice complement to the meal.

A great place for really good, authentic Sinaloan food. This was done very well.“

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

“This place is great.. home cooking mom and pop taco stop.Dont expect 5 star seating. Only have maybe 5 tables but everything was really good.. tacos were good.. and they had steady in and out customers. Everything was fresh.. nothing frozen.. I would recommend this place to anyone.. parking can be a little bit of a problem.. in small strip mall.. will be coming back next time down in San diego.“

“I spent many years in the San Diego area and Don Pancho's machaca burrito was a must have as often as possible! I wish they could ship some to Ohio!!“

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

“Can’t say enough great things about El Tapatio! Got the chicken quesadilla and it was delicious. The queso was very yummy, my family was raving about it. Our waitress was the best with giving us the perfect recommendations for what we were in the mood for. 🫶🏻“

“Great food and fast friendly service“

“We left the pet rescue shelter with a big appetite looking for some delicious Mexican food. They have a Specials menu right when you walk in the door with amazing prices. My wife is very peculiar about how food is made and loved the rolled tacos with everything on them. The chilaquiles burrito was incredible, the flavors were exploding in my mind. Wow!!“

“This place phenomenal!!! Portions and food are amazing, they didn’t seemed bothered at all by any special requests i made. The business is completely family owned and locally ran, giving it a special “mom and pop” shop feel. The inside is small but very clean!! Cash only/zelle payments but they have an atm which is very convenient! Service is amazing!! Will definitely come back and cannot recommend this place enough.“

“My family has been coming here for at least 25 years and it has never disappointed us. The carne asada burritos have the best marinade and they have the best rolled taquitos. It's a neighborhood staple and the family that owns it have always been so nice and kind.“

“Al pastor taco was overstuffed and delicious. I used the green salsa and it was flavorful without being hot.

Outside only seating, but in Coronado, that works just fine

Based on Google they’re seed oil free so that’s a definite plus in our book“
