First of all the staff are very friendly and attentive! Order/pay at the counter and we took a seat outside. The wait was maybe 10 minutes for the food and it seemed fairly busy for this time of year. I ordered the chipotle chicken burrito and overall it was okay. Could have used more chicken and maybe some seasoning on the rice. Just a little bland but not terrible! The smoked brisket taco was great! Good flavor and portion. Chips were perfectly airy and light! Salsa and queso had good flavor, though the amount of salsa to chips could have been better. Gringos quesadilla was what my fiancée ordered, good flavor and portion size. Everything was hot when it arrived so that’s a plus! We would return, only downfall otherwise for us, would be the lack of choices for drinks(no diet soda).

Brisket nachos ?
Every year for the past 3 years I tried this place, and I've been disappointed every time. The food and sauce are very bland with little to no flavor and there is more lettuce and cabbage in the tacos than meat. This is also the second time they put the food into a flour tortilla when "corn" is clearly written on the top of the container, how does that happen? 3 strikes and I'm out. I won't be ordering from this place again.

Food seasoning is essential for enhancing flavor and improving the overall dining experience.
Seasoning, particularly with salt, amplifies the natural flavors of ingredients, making dishes more enjoyable and balanced.
Salt has played a crucial role in human history, serving as a seasoning, preservative, and even currency. Its use dates back to prehistoric times, with evidence of salt production in ancient civilizations.
In summary, salt is not just a seasoning; it is a powerful tool for flavor enhancement that transforms ordinary meals into extraordinary culinary experiences.
In conclusion this restaurant has not discovered seasoning.
1 star.

Delicious tacos and each is prepared uniquely and the beans & rice were very good. I still have to try the chicken taco and the rest of the menu. Looking forward to my next meal here.

This is my go to place when I’m in Ocean Beach. Their food is fantastic! I would like to mention that my husband is diabetic and changed up his order a bit and we know it can be frustrating while taking the order but the owner was totally accommodating to him. With that being said, the service is outstanding and the food is AMAZING. Highly recommend!!

Hands down my favorite place to eat at the shore. Quick service and the food is fantastic. The chorizo is the best. I am there almost everyday I'm at the shore sometimes multiple times a day. It's a perk as well that the staff takes notice of me as a loyal customer and makes the experience even better

If you think these tacos are good, you people need help. My girlfriend told me this place opened a few years ago but I was still curious. I ordered 1 chicken taco and 1 chicken burrito. The taco was absolutely terrible. Bland chicken, cheese and some sour cream. The burrito id give 3 stars. The only saving grace was that the black beans in the burrito gave the whole thing some taste but other than that it wasn't worth ordering. This place looks approachable from the out side and the inside is nice too. The food is not good so don't waste your time.
