Taqueria Imperial

Absolutely love this place!It's new, a bit grungy but they provide quality food at a really low price. I was in shock that burritos cost $9.99 and $.99 DAILY! The food is hot and fresh and didn't disappoint. Be aware if the long wait especially for the $.99 tacos. However the staff there are working as fast as they can. Worth the wait and worth every penny. Unfortunately they don't have a big selection of breakfast items and their churros were overcooked but everything else is

We went through their drive thru and I was a bit annoyed at 1st cus they couldn't hear or understand what we were trying to order. Which I think they should have numbers by each meal due to not everyone knows how to pronounce the name of the meal. But a nice lady came out to our car & help us & took our order. That was a definitely plus for great customer services. Food was really delicious.. 1st time eating menudo that had pig feet in it... & I will definitely be going back for more. We also ordered the fried fish meal and fish was nice & moist, beans were delicious, rice was lil hard. We also ordered tacos they were delicious as well. They did forget about our soda & grilled jalapeño. But their customer services was so good & food was so good it's okUpdate on my experience at restaurant. Came tonight around 7:25pm. We decided to go inside & workers were singing loud & obnoxious.Staffs wasn't as friendly, didn't feel welcoming at all. They were busy talking to each over & playing around.. vibe here is more like a take out not somewhere to dine in to enjoy your meal Food is delicious but that's nothing without good welcoming vibes

Had a buddy tell me about this place, and, my brother in law has also been here twice. Sounded legit so I made my way down to try out the tacos. How were they? Amazing!I went with 5 carne asada tacos and 3 adobada (my original plan was to order 10 tacos...thank goodness I did not! These tacos were fat, and I barley finished the 8!). $.99 each, you CANNOT beat that price, anywhere! Tacos are double tortilla and stuffed with meat, topped with cilantro and onions, and a nice amount of guacamole. I preferred the adobada over the carne asada, but both meats were delicious! The ONLY thing that is whack about this place, is the location. Its a bitch to get in and out of. Other than that, highly recommended, and if I still lived in San Diego, I would come back again and again. Bomb as F!

Taqueria Imperial is a delicious and welcome addition to the neighborhood. This place is buzzing with activity. When I visited, the drive-thru was packed, the inside was packed, and the music was blasting loud. People were happily munching on their freshly made Mexican food creations.Outside, a guy was making street tacos, and people were standing around with tickets in hand. It took about 20 minutes for our food to be ready, but it was worth the wait. We tried the chili relleno, fish taco, pollo, carne, carnitas street taco and a birria taco. We also ordered a massive bean and cheese burrito. Every single bite was delicious and hit the spot for authentic Mexican food.And here's the kicker: all that food was only $23.00. What a deal! Seriously, you need to check this place out.

These ladies and gents make some pretty good tacos. I had a pair of carne asada and al pastor for .99 cent each. Both tacos were very good. The meats were well seasoned properly cooked and flavorful. I liked that they double wrapped with corn tortillas for each tacos. The quality of the corn tortillas was good, too, and so was the guacamole. I hope they offer more than one type of salsa in the near future. They only had one when I came in. It was good, but I do appreciate the variety for different items and such. They also offer breakfast here. The young lady who took my order was very nice. The place offers a lot of inside seating.

Very tasty well priced tacos but definitely get them to go. They have no air conditioning

so good, I came 2 days in a row, heh.You may have noticed that they have 99cent TJ tacos all day every day and theyre not kidding! For such a good value and good quality meats, this place is a gem in the neighborhood! If you are ordering TJ tacos here, just tell them how many tacos you want total at the register, and they will give you a slip to hand to the taco guy outside and you can tell him what meats you want, so dont even bother telling the cashier what meats you want in your TJ tacos UNLESS it is fish. Fish will be made inside, while everything else is outside on the grill or spit.

Spotted 99 cent tacos, saw them doing street tacos, and got very good street tacos. And these are good size street tacos too. When in the area this would be a spot to check out again. Wait was not too long when I arrived. Less than a minute with 4 to 6 people in front of me duing dinner time (after 5:30 PM). Didn't take long to place order either. Interior is that of any taco shop. The one that says "you are about to get some good food". Seating for about 50 people or a little more. One bathroom and has a drive through

The tacos are amazing, you can't beat 99 cents!! The line is pretty much always crazy but it's definitely worth the waitPs parking lot in the back is pretty spacious and always a spot available

So disappointed. My second time. First time was to try the .99 cent tacos. They were ok for the price. Thought, what do you expect for .99. Today went for Birria tacos, my favorite. Birria tacos are 2.99, bought 3 with consume. The shredded beef was very tough and dry even after dipping. The shells looked like they were put in the air fryer and broken. The consume had no flavor and was more greasy than anything. So bummed. Oh...and the customer service was very unfriendly. Last visit for me. Do not recommend.
