Coke made with cane sugar tastes so much better than what we're used to here which is made with high fructose corn syrup.

I ordered the carne asada tacos with a side of rice and beans and paired it with a cucumber lime agua fresca, and wow--this place never disappoints. The steak in the tacos was juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. They don't skimp on the portions either--these tacos were stuffed with perfectly seasoned steak, fresh cilantro and onions.One of my favorite ways to enjoy these tacos is over my rice and beans--every little spill turns into a bonus bite of deliciousness! The rice and beans are the perfect sides to round out the meal.But the real star here is the fresh salsa bar. If you dine in, you get free access to an incredible assortment of house-made salsas, fresh radishes, cucumbers, and pickled veggies. (Pro tip: If you order to go, the salsa is worth the little extra cost.)The cucumber lime agua fresca was the perfect finishing touch--refreshing, crisp, and not overly sweet. Whether you're craving bold flavors or something light and satisfying, this spot has it all.

No. 1 Taco is easily one of the best spots in VB for quick, delicious, and authentic tacos. Every time I go, the food is fresh, flavorful, and ridiculously good. The portions are generous, the ingredients are top-notch, and the flavors are on point.Their birria tacos? Absolute perfection. Crispy, cheesy, and packed with flavor--plus the consomé takes it to another level. The street tacos are always a solid choice too, and they don't skimp on the toppings.Service is super fast and friendly, whether you're dining in or grabbing takeout. They get you in and out without sacrificing quality, which is a rare find.If you're craving real-deal tacos without the wait, No. 1 Taco is the spot. 10/10 recommend!

First time here and was very impressed with everything! Standouts was the grilled chicken in the burrito, had so much flavor and just overall the burrito was delicious! Another standout was the kiwi strawberry Fresca. So delicious! The horchata was also very good but wish I had some extra milk add bc even for my sweet tooth was almost too sweet! I wish the pico had a better ratio of onion to tomato and maybe just got a batch with a lot of onions. Chips were good and the queso. Lots of salsa and sauce selections. Some very hot but clearly labeled. Service was great as they were happy to answer any questions since we were new. It's inside a strip mall and not too fancy inside but lots of tables available to sit inside.

Great place!! Two burritos and chips and queso for $36. For a fast causal restaurant however it was a little bit pricy equaling the price of a sitdown Mexican restaurant but it was fine. Service was great and inside reminded me of a more hometown chipotle feel. It was great I'd go here again however be wary a little pricy.

We've heard raving reviews about No. 1 Tacos since they were still at the KFT location and are now in Buckner Blvd. We finally decided to try it; I felt we were missing out. We had ordered tacos, queso, chips, and fried plantains, and all the dishes were delicious. I loved the birria taco and the fried plantains the most. The fried plantains were served with dulce de leche, which reminded me of a Filipino snack called Banana Que. Other options are also available, such as rice bowls, burritos, birria ramen, and hotdogs. The salsa bar added some extra spice to our tacos as well.Their location reminds me of the taquerias in California. The prices are reasonable and affordable. The staff were amiable and pleasant. The only thing I wish they would change is their menu. I was so confused when I was reading it. I wasn't sure which meats to go with especially when ordering the street tacos. Next time, I will try their Al Pastor. No. 1 Tacos exceeded my expectations. We highly recommend this Mexican eatery.

After living in San Diego, I find it difficult to find taco shops that I love. San Diego is the taco shop hub and they're all fantastic. No 1 Taco has been on my list because someone suggested that this may be close to what I had when I lived there and that sounded great to me!Location is easy and convenient, lots of parking and a good amount of seating inside. You order at the counter and seat yourself. I did like that they had a salsa bar.. this was the first sign that this may be similar to the shops I loved in SD. They have picked veggies and 4 different salsas to choose from. I grabbed their two salsa verdes (mild and medium) and both were pretty good.I ordered their Chorizo Brunch Burrito and a Chile Relleno. I requested both refried beans and sour cream on my burrito, but they refused to do that, which is my only true complaint. It's my favorite way to get a breakfast burrito: meat, eggs, cheese, potatoes, refried beans and sour cream. My go-to order. It was disappointing that they couldn't do that and I instead had to order a whole side of refried beans and put it on myself. When I did do this, it was delicious. Hopefully in the future, they might let me order it the way I prefer, but if not, I would still get the same and put it together myself.The Chile Relleno was nothing great. No sauce and a bit bland. In the future, I definitely want to try their lengua tacos; another favorite of mine!

I placed my order over the phone for pick up and the woman I spoke to was very nice. She made recommendations and answered all of my questions. She gave me an estimate of when my order would be ready and it was ready and packaged up waiting for me when I arrived.I got the SoCal Burrito with French Fries and Carne Asada as my protein. The burrito was so big and loaded with flavor. All of the ingredients married well together and it was so filling that I couldn't even finish the entire thing alone.This was my first time trying Birria Ramen and I was not disappointed. The birria is made with pork and it was seasoned well and the broth was very rich and delicious.The agua frescas were very refreshing and not too sweet. I will come back for another burrito for sure!

I haven't been here in a while so i stopped by for lunch. They moved to Buckner Blvd close to the DMV. I placed my order by phone for the chorizo fries. I wanted to substitute the guacamole for pico but they don't do that unfortunately... That sucks because its just a couple extra tomatoes, you'd think the guac was worth more. But i got over it. When i got there the fries were done. The girl at the register was nice. I paid and got toppings for my fries. They have a condiment section with a few different salsas, pickled onions, carrots, jalapeños, and cucumbers... I'm glad i tried it. All the crunchy textures made it even better. I'm glad they have this option because you can customize your meal for free!!! It was a good portion and tasted pretty good. I do wish the fries were crispier. Their foods pretty good here and I'll certainly return. Check them out!!!

If you are looking for authentic tacos look no further No 1 Taco has tacos that has similar flavors to the west coast. Inside was kinda dirty and the floors were sticky but it didn't bother me as much. I was there for at least 30mins and didn't see anyone wipe down the tables. You know this place is good when they have a steady amount of customers coming in and out. I got the taco with carnitas it was juicy and flavorful. I unfortunately was not a fan of the horchata even though it's my go to drink. I do love that they had the side bar with all the different type of sauces. Definitely coming back to this place for taco Tuesday.
