A true gem in the neighborhood and I'm ashamed of myself for not coming here sooner than I did. Many things about this place make it feel so much different than your typical SD taco shop. The vibe here is cool and unlike most taco shops. It feels cozy inside and has a very warm ambiance to it. While small the six or seven tables are just enough and it didn't seem like too many people dine inside and simply take their food to go, at least when I was there. I ordered their Gualberto's habanero specialty burrito and I was sweating eating this thing! I mean, the name of the burrito should have tipped me off that the burrito would pack some heat but I was not expecting it to be as spicy as it was. I love spicy food so this particular burrito was right up my alley but less tolerant pepper lovers should take caution. The folks working were super friendly and the only downfall is that there is no drive-thru but I'm willing to walk inside for a nice, big, and good quality burrito. A small price to pay!

I was disappointed :/ I ordered carne fries and some asada y pollo street tacos. Service was super friendly. The establishment is very clean and has enough space to order and lot feel like your standing on top of people. Went to open the container for the fries and had high hopes! But when I bit into the carne asada fries, the flavor was really lacking even though it looked soooo beautiful and delicious. Tacos weren't bad but not special. Might would come back and try other menu items and give them another try.

Been coming here since I was a teenager. One of the best taco shops in our neighborhood! The foods are always enjoyable. I love their taco Tuesday's. The hot sauce is actually really hot, which I love. The staffs are friendly and loving people. I've been coming here for so long that they almost feel like family to me.

I don't think I've seen a bean and cheese burrito for $3.50 in a while! And it wasn't a small one either. It was delicious and very filling. Also ordered a california burrito and it was very plain.. literally just meat, potatoes, and cheese. Wouldn't get that but the tacos look good! I've seen this taco shop since I was a kid but never decided to check it out until today. Inside is very spacious and clean. Service is super friendly and quick. Will definitely be back soon to try their tacos on a Tuesday or Thursday ($1.25 each)

The food was delicious and the service... let me tell you... it was unparalleled. Very clean atmosphere, and you can tell the owner just loves what she does and wants to take care of people that come into her family restaurant. I highly recommend getting anything off the menu. I personally had the California burrito and shredded beef taco. My partner had the Thursday Taco special which is $1.45 for 1 street taco and you have 4 to choose from! Looking at all the food that was being served, I would definitely try anything on the menu.10/10 would definitely and will for sure be back again!

I came here curiously after going to the the gym next door and being a taco fiend wanted to try out local taco shops during my visit in San Diego and let me tell you. This small whole in the wall taco shop is some of the best tacos I've had yet in San Diego. The prices are affordable and the menu is vast, but the best part is that they offer specials on street tacos every Tuesdays and Thursdays at $1.25 per taco. Now for that price, you simply can't beat it. For street tacos, I highly recommend the Al Pastor then the Carne Asada tacos. The street tacos are perfect in size. Bite sized two bite tacos garnished with onions, cilantro, and their house made guacamole sauce. When you order tacos make sure to ask for their sauces too if not provided. They offer a red spicy chipotle sauce as well as a green jalapeño sauce. Both are fantastic with the tacos. The perfect addition to the tacos without being too spicy. The tacos also come with a roasted and salted pepper on the side as a palette cleanser after every bite that pairs very nicely with the tacos, but mind you it is quite spicy if you eat the seeds. Pictured are: Al Pastor, Carne Asada, and Carnita tacos with their hibiscus aqua Fresca. On Tuesdays all this was $11. So much value for the amount of food and flavor you're getting. Would highly recommend!! Also the service is phenomenal as well. For being such a small restaurant that's more catered to casual sit down or grab and go, the workers are very kind as they bring out your food to you. Whether you come on a regular day or for the $1.25 Tuesday and Thursday special, the tacos are so so worth!! Now being here 3 times, it's so worth the values of the tacos are UNBEATABLE!!

I've been going here since I was a kid. I'm in my mid 20's now! The food quality is always consistent and it's great! This was one of the places I was glad to hear that survived the Pandemic. I might be a bit bias due to nostalgia but it's always great to eat here due to the taste and how economic the prices are. This taco shop saved me during college when I went to SDSU when I needed a meal to last meal the entire day.Carne Asada Fries, Carne Asada Burrito, Rolled Tacos, any of the street tacos and fish tacos are some of my go-to's here. They also rotate a daily special so maybe something that might entice you!

Wife and I are regulars here. Food is hit and miss. Service is pretty good. The food is tasty, especially love the way they put potatoes in the rice. Reason it's hit or miss is because, for some inexplicable reason, the food is sometimes served cold!! Why?? Sometimes is piping hot and delicious and sometimes cold! When it's nice and hot we eat there. When it's cold we ask for a box and take it home for the microwave. Of course it's not the same in the microwave due to the salads on the dishes getting ruined, sour cream ruined, ect, but better than cold. Every time this happens I swear it's the last time we go, but we keep going cause it's right down the street. Just wish they'd solve this damn problem!!
