13 Best Taco Restaurants near Valley Center

“tacos riquísimas and friendly environment“

“I enjoy Surf & Turf burritos. Hands down, this place makes the best money can buy. All their food is spectacular. It's not much to look at. It seems only the locals know about this place. It consists of a girl behind a podium screaming through a little square window which your food comes out from. There's no tables or chairs. But I promise you, you will have the best Mexican food you have ever had.“

“Craft & Taco is a small, family-owned restaurant in Escondido, CA. If you're into fancy places, this restaurant may not be for you; but if you're into great service, great food, and getting your money's worth, then I highly recommended this pleasant surprise in the heart of Escondido. This restaurant accommodates vegans, vegetarians, and meat-eaters. There is a vegan/vegetarian menu, and anything vegetarian can also be made vegan. Generous sized tacos are served on homemade tortillas. (I prefer the flour). The average person will need 2 tacos to get full and 3 to get stuffed. Spicy and delicious green and red salsas are offered. (My favorite is the flavorful, smoky, red salsa, but I may choose the green salsa depending on the taco). I am a vegan who used to be vegetarian. I have tried most of their vegetarian and vegan menu items. Below is my review. My favorite vegan taco, and favorite taco overall, is the buffalo zucchini taco. This taco is topped with vegan ranch and buffalo sauce, so I do not recommend adding any salsa. A large piece of perfectly breaded zucchini, the star of the show, is accompanied by spiraled carrots, sliced celery, spring mix, and other fresh veggies. My second favorite vegan taco is the avotaco made vegan. Because this taco does not contain cheese, the only vegan substitute that is the aioli. I recommend the green salsa and substituting the corn tortilla for flour. This taco comes with a large slices of avocado tempura style and fresh veggies. MY favorite vegetarian taco, and my former favorite taco overall, is the chile relleno. If you love cheese, you will be thrilled with the explosion of cheese stuffed inside a breaded chile, accompanied by spring mix and other fresh veggies. The red salsa is amazing with this taco. I have tried the vegan version of this taco, and while still good, I am not the biggest fan of vegan cheeses and usually avoid them. My second favorite vegetarian taco would have to be the avotaco mentioned above or the portobellini, which is full of cheesy mushroom goodness. This taco pairs well with the red salsa. I have not tried it vegan style, as again, I am not a fan of vegan cheeses. Other items I love: elote Other items that were okay: Chapis rolls, soyviche, beans Other items that I do not love: vegan pastor, french fries“

“I really love California Fish Grill in Cypress for dinner forever!! ☺️☺️🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️💖💖💖💕💕💕💕💞💞💞💞💞💓💓💓💓💓💓💗💗💗💗💗💗💗🍽“

“I came in to order a Torta Cubana. I had tried to call but the phone was busy for a while. But never the less I ordered at the counter and even thou they were super busy I was in and out within 15 min. Talk about them using team work. As one was cleaning she would hand over the stuff that went in the fridge to the other and it was done in a snap. These girls really know how to work in a team. It was fairly busy for a Sunday morning a full house for sure. But they handled it.“

“wow!! great food, great experience! order inside and then go outside and watch them cook it fresh!!!“

“Cody recommend their hybrid tortillas, they're awesome! Their habanero chicken is so good on the grill. We just tried their burgundy tri-tip... Holy moly... incredible!!“

“Been coming here for years and they've always been excellent. Best taco shop in my opinion and way better than that overpriced nonsense at Tacos El Gordo. I would recommend coming right when they open because the wait can be brutal at rush hour or just call ahead of time. My personal favorite is the tacos con cabeza which are juicy and always fresh. Plus they have a great selection of salsas to go with it as well. I don't have any photos because I always destroy the tacos before I think to take a picture. It's a very hole in the wall type of restaurant and I haven't been disappointed by any of the stuff they've they've put out.“

“This Jack in the Box always has the best service! I have never gotten bad service from them💜“

“Primera vez plató estaba rico pero duraron mucho mucho tiempo 😏segunda vez lo pedimos para recojer y estaban bien quemados nomas tirados en la caja y decidimos quedarnos a comer y pedimos otro plato igual y mucha mejor presentación pero duran mucho tiempo pienso que deberían tener mas personal y ser más atentos“

“I'm addicted to their habanero sauce and their sauce bar inside is legit!

Night crew is lovely.

I get their nachos and potato, bean, cheese burrito with guacamole and sour cream. I wish that was on the menu, because I have to explain the ingredients every time. ? My #1 favorite food spot. I love you guys! ❤ Your food makes me happy!“

“This facility is always clean, and the staff is friendly.“
