24 Best Mexican Restaurants in Spring Valley

“Super Deliciosa toda la comida. Muy buen servicio y la atención que dan es excelente. Definitivamente deja abajó a otros restaurantes de barbacoa a los que he ido. Lo mejor de todo es que te cocinan todo fresco le doy un 💯 Y las costillas en jalea de mango está para chuparse los dedos.“

“Everything I've had so far has been delicious and the fish tacos are incredible!! The shrimp tacos are even better and the surf and turf taco is even better than that! 😋
Charming restaurant too!
They're a new business and doing thongs right. You should give then a try!“

“Came here for carne asada fries. I’m Mexican and grew up eating real, authentic Mexican food, so I know this is an Americanized dish but 10/10, these were amazing. The flavors were on point, portions were very generous (even for a half order), and everything tasted fresh and authentic. Super friendly, quick, and efficient service. It’s a hole-in-the-wall, but none of the nearby spots come close.“

“delicious. absolute SD staple“

“Great spot for Mexican food“

“Maria is the best! We hired Tacos El Gabacho for my wife's grad school graduation party and we can't wait to recommend her and use her again! She came and set up her taco trailer in our front yard and everyone loved her homemade tortillas, carne asada, pollo asada and al pastor. Awesome food and service!“

“I personally go there for the Pico de Gallo Frutas. So fresh and so good!!!
My husband and daughter shared a Turkey and Ham sandwich and a Supreme Carnitas Quesadilla. They all loved it!

I also love their frijoles and tortillas too!

Their Agua Frescas is wonderful, light but filling! Sandia and Mango are our favorites .

My normal is to have cut up fruit and Limon with Pico de Gallo. I love it!!!

My daughter gave me her cut up fruit too because I plowed through half in zero flat!

(Oh yeah, we keep coming back!)“

“Most places we've gone to for taco Tuesday would have one or two tacos that are great but the rest blah. This place ALL of the tacos were Awesome. Great flavor, meat tender enough for someone with only one set of molars, and great price!
Then the Michelada BIG and yummmm.“

“HUGE burritos. Cali comes with a ton of fries, I would ask them to go easy on the fries when ordering. Lady is super nice. Got my burrito in 5min. Definitely will try this place again

To the comments saying it’s expensive, majority of taco shops are raising their prices due to rent costs. Restaurants are closing every day cause they can’t keep up with rent. Give them a break.“

“This place is the best! Outstanding customer service. I didn't have cash as it was my first time here. The owner noticed I work as a first responder and offered to feed me free of charge. You don't find people so willing to give back to their community in such a way anymore. I will be bringing my family here again for years to come. And the food was the best in the county!“

“I have been coming to this restaurant for over 25 years. They have the best shrimp burrito I have ever had. After joining the military I would seek out a better shrimp burrito and never found one. Now that I live 500 miles away, I have made it a tradition to come and have a shrimp burrito at this location. It never disappoints, the best, same delicious recipe. Great family that runs it.“

“Best place in the area! Hands down. Food is great, the people are awesome and the service is fantastic. Appreciation at the highest level. I always feel like I am a friend that has come to visit. I always get the Chile Colorado which is the best I have had on the coast. Get the pico de gallo, you will thank me. You guys are the best!!“

“Great place to come after dropping off your car at one of the many car shops around here. Came in for breakfast, chips and salsa first thing you come in, the cafe de olla was phenomenal. The breakfast chorizo burrito was delicious and price affordable. Great service provided by server Daniel 🌟🌟🌟“

“I love coming here because everything is always so awesome and the service Is always on point. Even better the owner takes time to know her customers and besides getting something delicious to eat or drink I guarantee that u will leave with a smile. . The best addition to the plaza for sure...“

“It's our first time eating at Marlen's Taco Shop in Spring Valley CA & all the food we ordered was the bomb. They tasted so good I wanted to lick all the sauce of the container. I ate it without the hot sauce. Yummy, yummy, yummy! 😋“

“Love the food“

“Ever since I found out about this place 2 years ago I make sure to stop here whenever I’m in the area. I’ve seen the same woman here I’m not sure if she’s the owner or just a long time employee but my coworkers and I are always greeted prompt and courteously, the food comes out at a reasonable time depending on how busy they are of course, and in regards to pricing, the freshness of the food and portions that I receive every time I order, coupled with the service I get makes it worthwhile each and every single time!“

“The food is good. But if you just walk in and order ? Be prepared to waite about 20 minutes for a couple Burritos. a lot of people call in these big orders, so you sit there and watch people walk in and pick up 4 bags of food ahead of you.“

“Ordered: Shrimp Burrito, Beef Taco's, side of beans and they were Excellent (The shrimp burrito, I've never gotten a better one)
The red chili salsa they serve with their food, also excellent. Service was friendly and efficient on a called in order.
Atmosphere... It's all about the tacos and the tacos were mighty good.
Everything was packaged very well. It's easy to serve at home and still quite delicious. If there's a better small Mexican restaurant in area, I don't know what it would be... So I'm saying this one is the best one. This restaurant is Cash Only fyi.“

“SO GOOD 10/10 I ordered a custom order which is a cup of elote with everything, two small bags of hot Cheetos added, and personally I like the nachos cheese as well. THEY DIDN’T DISAPPOINT!!! It came out just the way I wanted it the only thing I would change is to ask to have the hot Cheetos crushed up. I’ll be coming here regularly for sure!“

“Food is good but 9 times out of 10 they get my order wrong. I ordered a carne asada burrito with beans and rice and I get home and theres no beans. This happens often I'm beginning to think they don't like me because im a light skin Mexican.“

“The birria tacos were delicious. The drinks were way of a priced. They had a DJ that had really good music and then they had karaoke but it was so loud you couldn't talk to the person across from you. Every time we needed something from the waitress we had to wave her down to come to the table. She was very nice but service was not so good.“

“My favorite Mexican Food truck. Everything deicious and I always come by whenever I have a craving for authentic tacos and burritos. The owner is also a pretty nice guy and really cares about his business.

The Taco Tuesday deals have also expanded to include birria, shrimp, adobada and fish“

“I WAS GOING TO RAMBERTOS IN LATER 80s. WHEN IT STARTED AS A CONVERTED BURGER PLACE AT THE CORNER OF SWEETWATER AND ST. GEORGE IN FRONT OF VONS AROUND WHERE CHICKEN PLACE IS. THE TORTAS AND BURRITOS RULED. THEIR TORTAS ARE WHAT I COMPARE ALL TORTAS TO.“
