“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“

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

“Stopped by for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. Had the grilled chicken plate which had generous portions of chicken, rice and beans along with guacamole and a bit of salad. That plate hit the spot and really filled me up. The people there were so friendly and even offered me their special salsa (not on the menu) that was super good, tasty and spicy. Will definitely return to try something else next time.“

“great coctel de marisco. food flavorful great service“

“Great food and fast friendly service“

“Ordering was different. Had never been before so we guessed our way to where we were supposed to order. Placed our order and sat to wait for food.
We ordered Hawaiian Chorizo Tacos and some chips and salsa. Both were excellent!! Will for sure be returning.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“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 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“This unassuming establishment literally transports you to the wild west as soon as you enter. Everything from ceiling to floor is beautifully decorated!

We came for breakfast and you can tell a place is popular because there were already 2-3 other parties that got here as soon as it opened which is 8am! By 8:50AM, it was almost 95% full!

This is what we ordered:
-El Prieto Omelet (asada, camaron, chile california, queso, salsa chipotle and aguacate)
-Huevos Rancheros
-Chilaquiles Compadres (chilaquil verde y rojo con asada y pollo gratinados)
-Mole Enchilada
-Cafe de Olla

First of all, EVERYTHING we tried is phenomenal. Before you even order, you're given a basket with delicious Mexican pastries like conchas. I'm not exaggerating when I say that was one of the best conchas ive eaten.

Everything else had sooo much flavor.

The service is impeccable! You'll never run out of hot coffee because they make several rounds to ensure your cup is full.

Beautiful decor, amazing service, and delicious food! I am definitely coming back to this hidden gem!“

“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.“

“Best Mariscos Delivery service no cap !!“

“Too slow. Ridiculously slow.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Best fish tacos, ever!!!!“

“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.“

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

“Beautiful han make tortilla tacos 🤤“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“Bomb drinks (mango daiquiri) and delicious tacos. The steak chimmichuri taco was definitely the best, tender and juicy and flavorful. Would pass on the grilled fish taco bc it was dry and overcooked. We would definitely come back for more drinks on the beach 🍹 Service was fast and friendly and there are picnic tables nearby on the beach reserved for patrons.“

“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“

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

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

“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.“

“Good Food And Good Customer Service“

“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. ?“

“Very good tortas 😋😋😋 the special the bread is good“

“One stand to order for the food cart. Food was great and tried a little of everything . Quesadilla cheese only, torta asada and burro asada. I was hesitant due to the reviews but the food was great. I stopped by around 12:45 pm and took about 20-30 mins but we’ll worth it. Keep in mind the CBX Shuttle bus took 10-15 minutes before it takes off on anticipated departure. time.“
