Tacos tan perros que ladran! I did not expect to be floored by tacos! They tortillas were soft and the meat was perfectly marinated. My food came out super fast and hot! Recommendation... don't pick your taco apart, ask for them "CON TODO" and open wide!! They service was great and attentive. I say at the bar area and was waited on by Alexa who made me feel lien I was home eating at my cousins house. She made me the most mouth watering michelada with Modelo! The restaurant has a fun and friendly vibe with lively Mexican hit... read more

Arrived 20 minutes after opening. Line wasn't too bad and we were seated after 10 minutes of waiting. Service could be better. Our server forgot we were in her section and didn't take our orders for A WHILE. Tacos themselves, carne asada was bland. The Adobada flavor wise was good, however it was disappointing that half the meat and toppings were "thrown" on the plate and not the actual tortillas. Overall it was okay but I wouldn't go back

So good. Definitely the right place to eat if you're craving authentic Tijuana-style tacos. 10 out of 10. Best tacos in San Diego, hands down.

The hype truly hyped right over my head with this place. The carne asada tacos were very tough and chewy. The service was ok but felt they were understaffed so you had to ask for things multiple times. If it's not a warm day good luck sitting outside. Can get a little windy.

This is bad robe. I don't appreciate what you said. Time will tell. Some people don't agree with you. Continue with what you got. I know personally. My family and my friends will not ever try to be in your horrible service taco shop. Ever! Your comment says it all what you service means. Your reputation was ruined by your staff. We are the costumer that was exited to eat at your business. The reason I asked for 5 five plates was to share some Carne asada fries from your menu. I asked what you guys add to them. The lady ... read more

Taste great, cost twice as much as original place in TJ, and they charge $5 for grilled onions when other places like Tacos El Gordon gives them for free.

Came to this taco shop on a Saturday night. We got a variety of their tacos including cabeza, steak, adobada, and suadero. The steak and the tripa lacked flavor and overall had a mushy consistency, thanks to the beans they add to their tacos. Instead of elevating them, the sauces only made the texture worse. It was like eating a wet napkin drenched in salsa. Honestly, Taco Bell could do better. Not to completely diss this place, the adobada was the only decent one. If you have to get something, I'd stick with that. The ser... read more

Excited to finally try after so much hype but was disappointed by the horrible service. Never received our entire order....brought it to the servers attention after 20 min of waiting....they were brought out and tacos where wrong...waited another 30 min before asking for them to remove from the bill paid and left. Will not return to eat.
