“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“

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

“Great food and fast friendly service“

“So fun, glad we stumbled onto this place. After a walk on the Coronado beach, we decided to head south to IB. We checked out the menu on Google, as soon as I saw ossobuco taco I was sold. Parking in the lot by the restaurant was 2 bucks, score! It's a cash lot only FYI, and the lot was pretty dead despite the beach and boardwalk being full of people on a Friday evening. The restaurant is mostly outdoors, and they have upper patio seating to take in the view, the restaurant is super close to the shore. The entire staff was friendly, smiling, and so attentive. My husband tried a Japanese beer and he loved it, I got the Pina colada slushy, which was pretty good. But the tacos were out of this world, the ossobuco did not disappoint, so tender, so flavorful, and I think most of their tacos have that fried cheese in them. I also ordered a fish taco which was really crisp and fresh, but my husband's fried shrimp taco was unexpected. The shrimp was wrapped taquito-style then fried before added to the taco and dressed, crazy. Carne asada was tender and so well marinated, i could have eaten a plate of just that. We also had the sharable quesadilla which I highly recommend, the asadero cheese was fried and caramelized before it was put into the tortilla, which was also lightly grilled, it was mouthwatering! Two tacos each, a sharable quesadilla, and two drinks was like 55 bucks. I will be back, can't wait to try the carnitas taco.

Vegetarian options: I was impressed by the veggie options throughout the menu, clearly labeled and appetizing. We had to quesadilla, so yummy!“

“Fui con amigos por unas bebidas y resultó que la comida es fantástica“

“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.“

“Everything was too delicious, we will definitely be back.“

“Too slow. Ridiculously slow.“

“Very good! I ordered the special: five fish tacos an the chipotle burrito. The area doesn’t look like much, but the food is outstanding. Flavorful! Varied menu choices. Ample portions. Small dining. Nice service staff. *no public restroom*“

“Super delicious tacos, the best in San Diego, excellent customer service, super delicious, the sauces, super complete, ready to taste something incomparable to try, I would definitely return to this pleasant place

Kid-friendliness: Very familiar place“

“eh ido a comer Al tio pepe por mas de 20 año para los que en realidad lo conocen desde que atendia en la rampa su sabor y calidad no a cambiado altamente recomendado, tan recomendado que SI planeas ir a comer a la gabilondo siempre esta lleno. saludos“

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

“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“

“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.“

“Bomb ass tacos!!! Best tacos In California!!“

“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.“

“Beautiful han make tortilla tacos 🤤“

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

“Top notch local hole in the wall type restaurant. Out of all of San Diego, this is where I get my burrito fix; specifically with the surf & turf. Today I tried their Big Breakfast Burrito and although it was delicious it was too much meat for my liking. The roll tacos, flautas are yummy and so are the sides of orange Mexican rice and refried beans. They have tasty red and green salsa plus pickled carrots and jalapeños. They offer a variety of traditional stews, caldos, as well as tortas and other traditional Mexican dishes. We also tried the chilaquiles today and those were approved. Basically, everything we've ever tried here we have enjoyed. The taste and food quality is consistent. The staff is sincerely friendly and helpful. Been coming here for ages. And there's a Cafe Moto cross the street. Oh! And a local small bookstore too. Jeje hehe great intersection.“

“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“

“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 Cocteles in SD period... Miss Birrias tacos as well... 🔥🔥🔥“

“Best Mariscos Delivery service no cap !!“

“maybe its just me. tiktok bought me to this place as they have ribeye tacos which was new to me.

dont get me wrong, the ribeye was delicious and the chimichurri was on point but something about ribeye and chimchurri in a corn tortilla just didnt taste right to me. my mind couldn't figure out if i was eating a steak or tacos lol.

my wife had the ribeye baked potatoe and we both fully enjoyed that one.

if you come out here at night be sure to bring a jacket because it gets cold!!“

“Regardless that the employees here don't ever smile at you and their salsa taste like frozen mariscos, their food hits the spot at 3am after a night out. Haven't been here in years and they still serve the same huge portions of meat and toppings on their crispy fries.“

“Excellent food and very well served, If you are Mexican and you eat here you will understand me!!!

Everything is very delicious and very well served, the asada tacos are nothing like tacos in Mexico, I am Mexican and the truth is they are delicious and the dishes are very large.

Excellent place, I will definitely return without thinking about it!“

“Was nice, queso and chips are definitely worth starting with and the margarita the best I had whilst in San Diego.
I had a chimichanga which was massive and a little too heavy with the cheese. Nice evening out overall but think I’d order the enchiladas next time which looked really good.“

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

“love supporting small businesses..delicious..“

“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.“

“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. ?“
