“California Burrito Ranking (4):

Continuing my quest to rank San Diego's California Burritos!
Stop number four: Humberto's Taco Shop.
Product: The burrito was the largest I've ever seen, served incredibly quickly. It was fiery hot, almost too much so.Personally, I found the meat a bit dry. It's the cheapest burrito I've had in the city. They offer very spicy sauces. 5 out of 10
Service: The interaction was decent. 4 out of 10
Ambiance: Vibrant colors. Customers carve messages directly into the tables. When I arrived, it was quiet, but soon a large crowd formed and the line extended right to my table. 4 out of 10“

“Was recommended this place by my mom, and did not disappoint! everything was amazing! we tried the tacos de pastor, asada, chorizo, and volcan de carnaza (recommended to us by our server giovanni, who was amazing!) and the horchata de fresa also amazing. Everything about this place transports you to mexico, from the atmosphere, the music, the taste, and service. 10/10 👏👏“

“Great food and fast friendly service“

“Pricey but delicious (+5 more characters to post)“

“The first bite reminded me of the tacos. My mom makes it home so I will definitely be coming back to this place. Got the Pastor and asado and they asked if I wanted beans with it which was not something I typically get offered, but I did try it and it was a tasty addition. Also the selections of pickled onions and salsa was awesome. Really chill spot near barrio Logan and the people were friendly.“

“Our first time and we will be back. Everything was extraordinary, from start to finish. Great food and great service. Not only do they serve complementary chips, if you get here between 8-12, you get fresh pan dulce. And if that is not enough, you get a complementary dessert. The atmosphere is relaxed, rustic, and warm. Thank you, El Prieto!“

“I haven't had a real good torta in years! We saw a food truck, Tacos El Rummy that had a sign tacos y tortas. I ordered the torta adobada. When it arrived I took a bite and couldn't stop eating it. The adobada had a unique homemade flavor full of flavor and juicy. It was so good I forgot to take a picture. The owner, Israel came out and checked on us. I let him know we enjoyed our lunch including the homemade salsas and Horchata. Can't wait to go back to try the tacos. Congratulations, Israel!“

“Very good place very good food and good customer service“

“Delicious Mexican food. It’s off the beaten path as they say but don’t be intimidated. Carnitas and beans were some of the best around. If you happen to be visiting Coronado this place is 10 minutes from the Island and 10x better than the Island Mexican food.“

“I live around the area, and I can assure you I won't be going to any other taco shop other than here. Cali burrito was amazing and the cashier stole my heart with her kindness. Not being dramatic either. Delicious food. Wonderful service. Ill be coming here regularly.“

“This is a great stop to make if you are looking for some awesome fish tacos. It is off the beaten path of downtown SD, but worth the trip. Very small seating area and you may have to wait, but worth it! Nice staff and service.“

“Had some for Takeout and it was The Best Menudo 😋EVER😋 Authentic Guadalajara Receipe 🇲🇽✏️📃🔪🥣🥄. Perfect Broth, Soft Hominy and the Meat Melts in your Mouth🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟, goin back there ASAP with Friends who love Menudo but we can never find anywhere decent 😔, Until Now 🌟🤪🌟 . Staff is very Friendly and Caring.“

“Great little spot. I have been by several times, but this was the first time eating there. The tacos were so delicious. I had the crispy shrimp, and a Hawaiian chorizo. The shrimp was served with bacon and cheese and was so good. The chorizo taco had pineapple, which was awesome. Everyone working there was very friendly and helpful. Can't wait to go back.“

“super ricos los taquitos.. hoy tube la oportunidad de visitarlos...👋👍 deliss👍✔️“

“This gem of a truck has the best surf and turf burritos in San Diego. The meat is juicy and tender + the combo of shrimp and chipotle sauce is amazing. I squeeze lime into every bite with their salsa habanera (it is HOT but delicious!). This place is easy to miss it as it is located in front of Pick Your Part but I look forward to coming back to eat.“

“Had a fantastic time at this taco spot! The service was lightning-fast, the tacos were absolutely amazing, and you can tell the staff takes real pride in their authentic Mexican cuisine. My server, Arlette, was hands-down one of the best I’ve ever had—super efficient and attentive! And don’t even think about leaving without trying the flan—the manager helps make it, and it’s to die for!“

“The Restaurant was called El Rinconcito, under new owner. We stopped here after a visit to Sesame Street Place, hoping to have some authentic Mexican food. We were not disappointed! Oh my, this place tastes like your authentic San Diego style Mexican food! Amazing meat, topped with some delicious flavorful salsas. I will definitely be back during our next vacation in town!“

“Best raspados in San Diego! I’ve been a client/fan of theirs for over 20 years ! Been visiting them since I was a kid and now I bring my kids here . All natural homemade flavors . Chamoy and Ciruela with lechera are my 2 faves ! Always some nachos as well. This family business has always been super friendly and respectful. Their commitment to quality and service has never changed and sets them apart from any other place . Always super clean and incredibly humble business“

“Best Mariscos Delivery service no cap !!“

“Riquisimos los burritos de camaron super recomendados y los de Chile relleno tambien“

“I read the reviews for this place and I was curious to try it, being Mexican, I’ve never been too impressed by tacos in San Diego, there are good tacos but there’s always something better down south.

I am not someone that picks a place for the atmosphere, I go places for their food, if the atmosphere is good I might stay longer but if the food’s good I’ll come back.

Which is the case with this place, the food is so good that I would travel back from mexico just to eat their ribeye tacos.

I’ve read about people complaining about the atmosphere here, there are too used to fast food joints, this is how a real taqueria feels like, it’s rustic, not sterile, there’s ash from the charcoal flying and landing in the furniture out back, loud music, informal service. If you can’t deal with that, go get yourself some fast food instead, this might not be for everyone. But the food…

The food is worth it, not sterile uberclean plastic setting we tend to find this side of the wall, this feels authentic, and tastes like the best in Mexico. The quality of the raw materials ids the best I have seen, even in México. Could the setting be better? Who cares, the tacos are fantastic that’s all that counts.

Bravo to the owners, we wish you great success, and many years in business so that we may comeback many times.“

“The Birria tacos and horchata are always great, and the staff is always very friendly and professional. Very tender and juicy tacos, very flavorful and always delicious. The sodas are very good as well.“

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

“I'm from Phoenix Arizona came here to eat it was absolutely amazing!!!! definitely recommend not sure why it has a 3.5 out of 5 ...... Five Stars for me ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Too slow. Ridiculously slow.“

“excellent fish tacos served here! maybe the best in SD!“

“Gracias Por el Buen Servicio en el cumpleaños de mi Princesa 👸🏼 👑👧🏻🌸🎀10/27/2018“

“I been following Chris and his dad before they got this taco truck for a few years now, glad to see them still going strong. They have some bomb tijuana style tacos. I like to get the asada and adobada tacos. My friend is obsessed with their asada papa loca (baked potato). I haven't tried it but I will order that next time. Don't forget the habanero onions and the chiles/cebollas toreados, So good! P.s. Check their Instagram to see when they are open because sometimes they do special events and I've shown up and they are not here because I forgot to check if they were there.“

“Best fish tacos, ever!!!!“

“I highly recommend Tacos El Vaquero! We had a hard time finding a good caterer for our reception that could fit our budget and needs. Tacos El Vaquero worked closely with us to ensure they could cater our event and meet our needs. A great vendor, and my guests were so happy with how delicious the tacos were. As a host, that’s what you want to hear! 10/10“

“great coctel de marisco. food flavorful great service“

“Excellent taco shop in Chula Vista. It’s off the beaten path but worth it. I had regular crunchy tacos and they were delicious! My wife had the rolled tacos and they were also very good. Good beans and rice as well. Very good service. I would go back. Cash only, they have an ATM.“

“Beautiful han make tortilla tacos 🤤“

“delicious food, I recommend the cheese birria tacos and the papa panchos (carne asada fries). You will have plenty of other options those just happen to be my favorite:) clean resturant, the staff is super friendly.“

“ONE BITE = HEAVEN.
NOT KIDDING. And Friendly, Attentive staff.
We ordered a vampiro de carne asada, mulita y poblano taster. ALL
PERFECTION!
I rarely order meat @ restaurants because usually it's rubber at restaurants. But NOT here. Here it is perfect. Generous sides given= pepino, raddish, limes. Perfect salsa roja. See my pictures! I had to eat in my car, please excuse the background. This place makes you feel like you are dining in heaven though. ?

I wish I could eat at Taqueria El Poblano every day. ?“

“We are locals and were there for the first time. The food is generous and very good. Service OK, could have been a little faster. It was very busy, being Valentine's Day, but very NOISY. Suggest altering the decor to absorb some of the noise. Lighting could be a little bit brighter also. All in all, we enjoyed our experience there and plan to return. “

“Our go to spot for authentic delicious Mexican cuisine. Birria tacos and caldos always hit it the spot. Don’t get me started on the Raspados. Stop by give a shout to long time chef Alfredo & the Raspado mixologist Daniel“

“I wanted to try this spot but now I am worried if I take my wife and kids to this restaurant they could be assaulted in the bathroom by te owner and the staff will stand and smile. Plus multiple reports of failing food safety, yikes.“

“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“

“As close to ensenada seafood without crossing the border 😎 Excellent“

“Good Food And Good Customer Service“

“Honestly could be considered a bit pricy until you finish your first drink. The bar tenders make some of the best drinks I've ever had and at first they seem to just be heavy on the fruit but about halfway thru you realize they balance the alcohol perfectly so you cant tell that they definitely make them very sturdy for a day at the beach. As for the tacos, I usually end up having several by the end of the day they are just so balanced and flavorful. Good portion size too (I usually get several fish tacos and one or two shrimp thru the day). I will always recommend the classic margarita with a tajin rim or the watermelon drinks they make. The fruit garnish is to die for and very refreshing complement to the drink itself. I am very passionate about this place.“

“Amazing place I would only change the way u have to order like if u want birria you have to order it in a specific spot or else you'd be ordering something completely different. I love the decor it's very fun and colorful even though the walls are teared up a bit.“

“Great customer service ! Tacos are delicious ! Friendly staff and Bartender Julio makes the best balance mix drinks . Drink are not to strong just right how they should be.“
