Tacos Los Chuchys

★★★★☆ 4 (14)

"For catering this is one of the best Taco businesses in San Diego hands down! Not only are they one of the most affordable ones but the quality of tacos are very good & so are the portions. The customer service for the most part is good. Their Carne Asada is real good as is their other tacos but their best is their Carne Asada & yes their chicken tacos! They have one of the best TJ style chicken tacos I've ever had no lie. They use to have a little stand in National City on Granger Ave in front of their head quarters an old building that use to be a bar called Cozy Corner that my Mendez fam use to own. It's good to see the building is still up & being used for good, to serve tacos to SD. Was sad to see their stand go but happy to know they cater any event you need they even do funerals. So go ahead book them & hey maybe invite me, I'll even go to a funeral & bring holy water & a rosary & pray as long as I can take 6 tacos to go :)"

The Lumpia Joint

★★★★☆ 3.6 (34)

"Good prices for decent food. Nothing above par, nothing below par. $7 for 5 fresh pieces is well-suited to a quick walk and shop."

Big Boyz Tacos

★★★★★ 4.8 (99) • $$

"Grateful I found Big Boyz on yelp! I was planning my baby shower of approx ~50 ppl, and the park location I booked my event at requires any outside caterers/vendors to have insurance. I contacted a few other taquizas before finding Big Boyz, without luck. Big Boyz responded almost immediately, included a PDF via email that has all info about their services and options, and confirmed they have insurance. I didn't need to ask a million questions, as they were all on the PDF form, but even w/my additional questions, they responded right away. The park required me to obtain a different certificate of proof of insurance than I provided, and Big Boyz obtained it right away from their insurance company, no questions asked! It was a bit last minute planning on my end and Big Boyz were so smooth to coordinate with, and eased my stress.Day of they arrived on time, set up on time, served all of my guests without any issues, tacos were great. I really couldn't have asked for more! Thank you!!"

Roast Coach Coffee Bar

★★★★★ 4.7 (214) • $

"Who would've thought that a tiny coffee cart could crank out such good coffee??? Not this Yelper, that's for sure. As my wife and children walked from one PACKED restaurant to another (cuz everything down in this part of San Diego is PACKED), we walked by this unassuming coffee stand. Needing my caffeine fix, I headed over.Boy! I only had a cold brew, but man, was it delicious. Just a little Oat milk to kill what little acidity there was in the cold brew and I was in coffee heaven. The employee tending the "bar" wasn't in the mood for being chatty the morning I stopped in, but, we're all allowed to have a bad day. I know mine started off that way, but got instantly better once I had my coffee."

Mama V’s Lumpia

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"Growing up in San Diego you come across different foods for different cultures. Filipino foods being one of my favorites, there definitely isn't a shortage of Filipino restaurants in town. I have to say Mama V's needs to be recognized as one of the top ones out here. The lumpia by far the freshest and tastiest ones ever, the crunch the bite and the flavors are always spot on, get it as a combo plate with Pancit and rice, you're all set. The customer service was phenomenal and the team that runs the operation keeps it super clean and on point. Catch them on Sundays at the Point Loma Farmers Market, trust me you won't regret it and worth the drive. I hope these guys open a store front soon."

African Food Kitchen

★★★★★ 4.8 (13)

"I go to the La Mesa Farmer's market every Friday, basically so I can have this as my dinner. Sweet chicken and spicy chicken are both incredible. I also love the saffron rice and the collard greens. I would love to know what spices they use on both types of chicken. I absolutely LOVE this food."

The Art of Espresso

★★★★★ 4.5 (217) • $

"Wow! I recently tried one of the ice blended espressos from Art of Espresso, and it might be my favorite blended drink ever?!!? I swung by the shop around noon on a weekday and there was almost no line. I ordered and received my order really quickly. I got the spun monkey, which is a blended mocha with a whole banana, and whipped cream on top. From the first sip I knew I would be thinking of this drink for a while. It completely blows Starbucks frapps out of the water! It's incredibly creamy and smooth, with no separation or ice chunks at ALL. I don't think they use ice. Possibly just frozen milk or frozen banana. It's thiccc but not too cold, so it doesn't hurt my teeth. The combination of the coffee, chocolate, and banana feels like a hug in liquid form. How can an ice drink feel so cozy?!I am absolutely flabbergasted by how tasty this drink is, and I will DEFINITELY be back to sample some of the other blended drinks on the menu!"

Big Willie's Pizza

★★★★★ 5 (20)

"Tasty pizza pies that serve a great cause. Support Big Willies in his desire to provide financial support for hospitality workers as profits from his events are directly going to assist someone in need. Besides the great cause, Big Willie's pizza is actually out of this world. Truffle one was my favorite, but it was very hard to pick one because allllllll the pizzas are equally delicious. Willie also does his own set up and it is so so cute and matches the theme perfectly!"

BBQ Boss

★★★★★ 4.7 (167) • $

"Came from jury duty and was craving a sandwich at first for lunch. Walked by the BBQ Boss on my way to the Grab-N-Go around the corner and noticed that their sandwiches and meat were $6. I still wanted to check out Grab-N-Go like my original plan and noticed that their sandwiches are almost $8 and have a line. Due to my goal to save money, I decided to walk back to BBQ Boss and I'm glad I did!The one and only gentleman there named Bobby was awesome and was so friendly. "Let me guess, you found us on yelp!" Noticed that they have sandwiches (brisket, pulled pork), which I initially wanted but also saw that they just sold the meat itself. The "No carbs!" disclaimer won me. Ordered the brisketHe also mentioned the "free side with $6 purchase" offer on Yelp which I of course took advantage of. I chose the salad which has a good housemade ranch... you can see and taste the herbs mmmGood service, quick, delicious and affordable food. Great flavor and filled me up. Whole chunks of brisket yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmHe even recommended to go where there's seating but I just walked to Horton Plaza which isn't a far of a walk. The food is put in a box that is easy to carry with you Check him outttttt"

Seaside Market At Petco Park

★★★★☆ 4.2 (43)

"Was recommended to try the Tri-tip Nachos. As far as Nachos go, this was just the right size, ratio of meat, cheese and chips. I would get this again!"

Gnarly Nachos

★★★★☆ 3.9 (56)

"I am a fan of nachos in general, and I am huge fan of the nacho combinations Gnarly Nacho's offer, including the ability to modify any of their signature offerings or being able to create your own.I choose the regular size classic with regular tortilla chips and added a few items such as bacon, cilantro, onions, grated Mexican cheese, and guacamole, in addition to the classic nacho sauce and sprinkling of Colby shredded cheese for $8. You can get a very large size for sharing for $12. As you can see, the nachos not only looked terrific but they also tasted fantastic. The combination of the tasty cheese sauce and the shredded cheese was a great idea. The bacon pieces were not your typical bacon bits, no these were actually cooked chopped bacon portions that tasted great. The guacamole was creamy and well seasoned, the cilantro and onions freshly chopped, and the grated Mexican cheese added a nice saltiness to the nachos. I did feel they went a little overboard on the sour cream. In hindsight, I would of like to have seen more shredded cheese than sour cream.Yes, they use ingredients that you can find at a typical grocery store, but it's all about the experience and having someone serving you up a tasty plate of nachos while you enjoy a cold beer at a local brewery."

Hare Krishna

★★★★☆ 4.2 (92)

"I'm so happy to see that Hare Krishna is still serving wholesome lunches after all these years. The first was was during my undergrad years in the early 2000s. Came back onto campus for a visit on a random Wednesday and stumbled upon them again! Food was just as delicious, plenty, and nutritious. It was rice with two kinds of curry like dishes filled with veggies such as cauliflower, peas, carrots, potatoes, and the blueberry masa dessert. It also comes with a drink and a small piece of peanut butter bar. All that for only $5 and you serve it yourself. I was in heaven all over again. The Food Coop place it a cool place to hang out, buy snacks and eat it there. Come Wednesdays, bring cash and an empty stomach!"

O My Taco

★★★★★ 4.8 (28) • $

"I was so bummed to not be able to give these guys 5 stars. I so wanted to after reading all the great review. Three tacos for $8 is just OK. Tacos were good, but not the best I've ever had. Very nice staff, though."

The Carver, Coal & Barrel

★★★★☆ 4.3 (25)

"I was fortunate enough to run into this true natured BBQ food vendor at the Burning Beard Brewery. The proprietor cooks all his meats the traditional way with hot flavored smoke. In fact, he smokes the meats inside modified re-engineered barrels that had been expertly designed for BBQ. I could not help myself and I ordered the smoked tri tip nachos that not only came with heavenly medium temped smoked tr tip, but with a house made baked bean made with beer. The tri tip was very well prepared and had a mild smoky flavor brought on by the quality avocado wood locally harvested and supplied by avocado growers. The meat was a perfectly smoked and was very tender and had the right moisture level. The smoked meat was topped with a drizzle of tasty BBQ sauce and laid over the the homemade baked beans and crispy tortilla chips. The beans were tender, well seasoned, and had a subtle flavor of a craft beer. Well done. The nachos came with a handsome amount of crispy tortilla chips, but one thing these nachos needed was perhaps a light garnish of chopped peppery scallions or a light sprinkle of finely shredded cheese, not just for color but for that little extra flavor profile.The gent running the smoked meat shop or real BBQ haven was a gent and quite informative regarding his trade."

The Pastrami Stand

★★★★★ 4.5 (6)

"I recently became aware of this vendor when I noticed that they used to operate an outlet near me on a part-time basis. The Pastrami Stand now rotates across different farmers markets and breweries in the local area. On Sundays, they have a canopy set up at the La Jolla Open Aire Farmer's Market. The menu featured two pastrami sandwiches, five types of hot dogs, two styles of pastrami sold by the pound, and matzo ball soup when in season between December and April. There was also a special of the day that was a Chicago style hot dog.The Pastrami Dip was made up of smoked pastrami, yellow mustard, and pickles on a roll that was single dipped in au jus. The Number 18 consisted of classic NY style pastrami piled high on rye bread and topped with deli mustard. Of these two sandwiches, I picked the former. The bread and meat quality were both very good, however the portion size of six inches(?) did not justify a $15 price tag hence a four star rating."

Stars & Stripes Taco Shop

★★★★☆ 4.1 (180) • $$

"If you're getting your car serviced at any of the multitude of auto shops along this strip and find yourself hungry, this is the place to go!I didn't see any other dining options besides the gas station in the area, so I was thrilled to discover that I could get a breakfast burrito big enough to feed a family of four for under $10. It's a walk-up window taco stand connected to the gas station. They have the nicest workers, but don't serve coffee, you need to grab a coffee inside the gas station, where the staff are also incredibly friendly. From now on, every time I get my car washed across the driveway or have my tires serviced at Discount Tire, this is where I'll be coming for some delicious food!"

Churros el Tigre

★★★★☆ 4.4 (347) • $

"I manage a venue and our client hired Churros el Tigre for dessert catering. We had a few scheduling challenges along with the fact that we are a somewhat particular and unique venue. Louie did his best to accommodate amidst a packed catering schedule. John and crew arrived and worked with us very well and made the absolute best churros we've ever had. We would be happy to have them back anytime and highly recommend them in every way. We may have to make a trip to their location for more churros in between events!"

Wobbly Wieners

★★★★★ 4.7 (23)

"I've heard drunken tales of how delicious their dogs are. These tales aren't fictional, best hotdogs in SD!My friends often go to bar that this cart shows up at (The Dog). I originally thought it was because of the free pool, or the divey neighborhood vibes. Nope. It's because of these hotdogs! I went strait for the stand as soon as I exited our uber. The smells draw you in, and you're immediately greeted by the chefs. I go all out and order the jumbo "ultimate gourmet". They work at a great pace to feed hungry customers but take their time enough to ensure their level of quality is met. Great group of guys.Spreading the cream cheese on both sides of the bun evenly, slicing the dog down the middle in order to cook and create a nice crisp sear to the dog. Professionals!... I didn't pay attention to the rest of the assembly, but next thing I know, I'm staring at a delicious hotdog. Pictures don't do justice. The pineapple habanero sauce added the perfect amount of sweetness and barely any spice to the top. I need to go back for more. I would walk blocks from the beach for these."

Tamales Brenda's

★★★★★ 4.9 (87)

"There are only two holidays that I crave all year long and they are Thanksgiving and Christmas. These are the typical time of the year where homemade tamales are in full season. When I found out about Brenda's tamales special, it was a must try location during my trip to SoCal. Stumbling upon her restaurant is equivalent to finding a needle in a haystack behind a hole in the wall. Long shot, but worth every bit of satisfactory feeling. This is exactly what her food will do for you.Her menu was about 15 items total. For a homecooked list of item served to the public, this was good enough to keep her specialty strong and fast moving enough to satisfy one's hunger. Of course I chose the Pork and Beef tamales to gauge the taste. The beef tamales was great. The style of prepping the beef was close to being barbacoa. The meat sliced away with the masa perfectly with a spoonful of balanced flavor proportion. The pork tamales caught me by surprised. The presentation is closer to Chicken Verde, and similar to the beef, it pulls away perfectly with the spoon. Neither too salty or bland, and melts away on your palates full of flavors.The preparation of the masa was the icing to this non-dessert dish. The corn mixed dough was perfectly mashed, leaving a smooth and soft texture to every bite. The masa alone was enough to satisfy my crave.I experienced the look on my friend's face as they take their bite of the Elote. The presentation alone gives a vibe of great taste, and the facial expression confirms the quality. Can't deny that I did not regret trying one.The level of service that Brenda offers with every plate is beyond exceptional. Her gestures are as warm as her meals. It is obvious to see that each dish is made with love which offers the comfort feeling of a homecooked meal. Definitely a spot to must try regardless of your timeframe availability!!"

Culinary Elite Street Food and Catering

★★★★★ 4.8 (13)

"Outrageous cheese steaks! Culinary Elite was the food truck today at Belching Beaver Brewery in Vista, CA and absolutely killed it. Simplified menu with about 4-5 choices was a big plus for me since you know everything is going to be good and ingredients will be fresher. I went with "The Works" and it was outstanding - tons of melted American cheese, generous caramelized onions, and delicious sauteed mushrooms...This thing was loaded but never got messy or runny and the bread never went soggy. Plus you get a nice bonus side of pickled vegetables, which was a really nice touch. Prices were $10-12 for the cheesesteak, perhaps a touch pricey, but the quality was outstanding. Highly recommended!"

Chilanga Mexican Food

★★★★★ 4.6 (18)

"I met up with Chilangas at the Lane Field Park market. I was unable to find a business address at this time, given they area a Farmer's Market and street vendor.They offer a variety of Mexico City favorites, including the trio of sopes that I ordered. Each came with a different items. For example, one came with chorizo and potatoes, the other with chicken tinga, and then lastly beef tinga served on a hand pressed and formed corn masa sope which is lightly fried. The sope sampler was $7.They were all terrific and I especially loved the way the masa underneath each sope was given special care. It was light and crisp on the outside with a soft gentle center. Even though they were delicate, the held up very well to the generous amount of ingredients on top of each.Both the beef and the chicken tingas were very well seasoned, flavorful, tender, and very juicy. I loved them. Each sope came topped with a little bit of shredded ice burg lettuce, a drizzle of crema, and a crumbling of queso fresco. The chorizo sope with made from beef and pork I believe. It was highly tasty with a little bite. It paired very well with the cool fresh queso fresco. The potatoes were tender and properly slice into bite size pieces. I tried all their house made hot sauces and they were bliss. They all had great flavor and the deep red one brought some burn! The employees were all very nice and the owner Ana is very informative regarding her products and quite proud, but well deserved however."

Pacific Pizza

★★★★★ 4.9 (38) • $$

"The guys here are super nice. Price is $11 for a 10-11 inch pizza. The pizza quality is fine, but not special in anyway. Bronx, Pizza Port, Basic, Luigis are all better. This might be below CPK but above Oggi's and Sammy's. The problem is that it is not filling or flavorful. The sign of a good crust is one that you hold up and it doesn't flop around, this one goes flaccid instantly."

El Rey Tacos a Vapor

Big dawg burger

"We were heading to Seven Seas in South Park for coffee and saw this pop up outside. Apparently they are here every other weekend - but we are hella glad that we got a bite while we waited for our coffee.We got their Deluxe Breakfast Sandwich and their Breakfast Burger. Guys when I tell you each one SLAPPED I mean it. Both were smash sandwiches and were so flavorful it took me to breakfast heaven.Alberto one of the owners was there and the service was so fast and friendly. And it was rad seeing that they just really enjoyed doing this and it shows in the food and the flavors.This place is a must for some tasty food.Found out they are generally in National City at Over the Tent by the chick-fil-a and then at Seek Beer in North Park every Saturday.Will def go out of our way to get another tasty breakfast in the near future!"

Jamaican Jerk Hut

★★★★★ 4.8 (59) • $

"Simply delicious. There's timeless advice to follow the crowds at farmer's markets when you're unsure of what to get. This proved true again at Jamaican Jerk Hut. Visited in a Tues evening at the Otay Ranch Farmer's Market. There was indeed a long line but I took that as a good sign. Plus, good things come to those who wait, right? The menu is focused and reasonably priced: $8 for bowls and $10 for plates. The former includes rice and your choice of protein. The latter adds veggies and plantains. Credit cards are accepted.I opted for a classic jerk chicken plate. Super tasty and filling. The sides might've been ever better than the protein! Service was very friendly too. The owner was charismatic and treats you as if you've been friends for life. Overheard chatted with lots of regulars too.Great spot! Excited to return at a future farmer's market."

Seb's Panini

★★★★★ 4.8 (9)

"I found Seb's Panini at the Hillcrest Farmer's Market on Sundays. I ordered the Bacon Breakfast panini and it was perfectly crispy and made fresh. Personally I feel like it needs more flavor or extra of the garlic aioli sauce. But the bread was perfect and I enjoyed how warm and crispy it was. They are very friendly here and quick! I definitely recommend trying them out if you see them at a farmer's market."

Oak and Anchor BBQ

★★★★☆ 4.1 (52)

"Oak and Anchor BBQ has now established a permanent spot inside the Chula Vista Brewery at The District in Eastlake after having a mobile presence on Third Avenue for quite a while. It's a long drive for me to get here, but I wanted to taste their barbecue offerings. The inside of the brewery was very spacious with picnic tables for seating. The back counter was where you placed an order for food.Eight different meat options were available including brisket that was only sold on weekends (Friday, Saturday, Sunday). Loaded fries and a loaded baked potato were choices as sides along with eight standard items like cole slaw, mac & cheese, collard greens, etc. Entrées were sold as a meat (1, 2, or 3) + a side (1 or 2). I stacked on the meats by picking the brisket, pork belly, and tri-tip with a side of Texas baked beans.The pork belly was the winner by far. There were four long strips that were glazed with honey. The cut was so moist and fatty. The brisket and tri-tip were placed together with the beans in a separate take-out container. I am glad they threw in a couple of cups of sweet barbecue sauce to use as a dip for the two meats. The quality of the food was solid, and the pleasantness of the cashier was even better. I was very satisfied with making a trip to visit this BBQ joint in Chula Vista."

Taquizas Los Chuchys

★★★★★ 4.7 (247) • $$

"We recently attended an event at Santee Lakes that was catered by Taquizas Los Chuchys. The food was fantastic.On the menu: Tacos! Al Pastor, Pollo and Carne Asada. All with or without melted cheese. Sides were Pinto Beans and Mexican Rice. Roasted jalapeños and peppers, sautéed onions, raw onions, cilantro, radishes, guacamole and two fabulous salsas were the condiments.Corn tortillas handmade on-site! The best corn tortillas!They even had drinks available. Agua de Jamaica and Agua de Tamarindo.The pollo and the carne asada were excellent. Make no mistake about it. Both were grilled up perfectly. Both flavorful and delicious.The Al Pastor was next level. Marinated pork piled high on a vertical spit. Sittin' and spinnin' gettin' all happy.Thinly sliced and piled high on one of those tortillas. WOW! So good! I just wanted to camp out in front of the grill and just have one after the other. I refrained...The beans and rice were great too. For dessert I had a cup of beans with roasted peppers, sautéed onions and jalapeños topped with some of the al pastor. Fantastic!The next time we are in need of a taco truck or catering, you bet we're calling Chuchys!"

Blue Fire Bliss Mexican Food Stand Catering

"There's hundreds of great taco stands in the greater San Diego region, and I love them all, but this one stands out for me. Quality ingredients that taste super fresh. Decent portion size and fair prices. And, some real creativity, beyond the regular tacos and burritos. Definitely recommend!"

Today's Menu Vegan Eatery

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"These guys are THE REAL DEAL! Everything they do is amazing. If you are vegan, vegetarian- or even not, you will love them. The "fried chicken" in their Southern Cooking looks and tastes like chicken BUT it is vegan. We have not had one thing from them that we did not absolutely love. We found them at the Vegan Pop Up in Encinitas and we stop there first every time!"

Doggos Gus

"Perfect spot for sitting outside enjoying our perfect weather. Grab a beer from the brewery then head outside and order up. The Baja dog is my favorite, but have tried and enjoyed quite a few others. Don't forget the churros. Not only are the dogs the best in town, the churros are as well."

Jason's Courtyard Cafe

★★★★★ 4.9 (45)

"I have to give credit to my gf for introducing me to Jason's Courtyard, his delicious warm chai tea drink and chai teas in general. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have ever bought anything from Jason's. You see, I don't like coffee, so, therefore, I wouldn't even approach his stand. Even though, he does sell water, sodas, bagels, pastries and other good stuff. That was wrong of me.Ever since the day she let me have a sip of her chai tea, I instantly fell in love and was addicted. i do recall buying two chai teas daily for the following week.His chai teas are amazingly delicious! First of all, unlike many other coffee shops, he uses chai powder as appose to the syrup kind or chai tea bags, which simply, suck. Big thumbs up for that Jason.I do appreciate that I have the option of choosing organic soy milk over regular milk. And, I love adding a lot of cinnamon powder on top. It really enhances the flavor of the drink and I like the clumps of cinnamon when drinking the last few ounces of it. I have such an appreciation for the process of the drink. Of course, i'm writing strictly about the chai tea but he does sell many other drinks and coffees. And, he has many bagels, pastries, snacks, fruit, sandwiches, sodas, water and juices to chose from.The prices are extremely reasonable and he accepts cash, visa and mastercard. Another big thumbs up for accepting cards. I rarely have cash on me. Not only are you purchasing great tasting quality reasonable priced items, you will receive amazing and courteous customer service from Jason and january. These two are always in a happy mood with big bright smiles. I've noticed their always polite to every single customer. jason's Courtyard is an absolute must for every Southwestern College student, faculty, neighbors and friends."

Taquería Zapata

★★★★☆ 4.3 (42)

"Located in front of the Pancho Villa Market, this little place is serving up some tasty Mexican street tacos and as of 12/12/15, all street tacos cost $2, no matter what you get. I ordered two al pastor tacos and one carne asada with all the fixings. The two al pastor tacos, including the carne, came on great corn tortillas that were grilled up with a little oil, so they had that nice translucent moist texture and flavor. The al pastor pork meat was tender and had a great chili, herbs, spices, pineapple, and achiote flavor, but most importantly, the meat had that great char flavor that gave the al pastor that X-Factor. The guacamole salsa was creamy and cool with good flavor and some was the salsa they added underneath. These were some great al pastor tacos.The carne asada taco was good. The beef was tender, but needed to me seasoned a little more. It did have a good mesquite and char flavor which is important. The freshly made guacamole was nicely made and tasted good. It was simple, yet effective. Good taco.They offer no seating, except for a small standing eating bar along the shopping cart parking area right in front of the eatery. Not a bad place to get your Mexi-Street Taco Fix."
