😐 People are nice. Closest taco shop to home. But seems like I get less and less rice and beans every time. Still hungry. This was a "Monster Roll Taco" meal. 3 regular size rolled tacos and 2 spoonfuls of beans and 2 spoonfuls of rice. A splash of guacamole. Getting sadder as I write this.

    Delicious street tacos!!! I ordered the Fish and the surf and Turf tacos. Parking at the park is a good option, not much parking available in front of the shop. Great service.

    Unfortunately, I received lack luster service with my most recent purchase. Food was not fresh, see picture. Beef was hard and old inside rolled taco. Fish was iridescent, which means not fully cooked. Also see picture. Food was luke warm. Cashier got my order wrong, she did not apologize, and she did not say thank you after I paid. She did not say thank you to some other patrons also. I heard her say thank you to one patron, only after they thanked her first. Certain patrons got a thank you, have a nice day. Also some workers had two gloves on, some workers had one glove on, and touched food with their bare hand, including salad and hot food.

    Their meat is tender and savory especially in their California burrito and all that. Their shrimp tacos was much goodness. Parking out front of the establishment is scarce and on busy days it can take some effort to find a parking spot.

    Had their breakfast chorizo torta and it was so nasty and plain that I had to warn people not to order it on here 😅 Also the quesadilla didn't have any cheese. I was absolutely starving so I tried to force myself to eat it, but couldn't finish it and was with my mom so didn't want to complain to the staff who werent very attentive (i did tell the staff who was busy on her phone and she didnt really care lol)😅 and I didn't even eat dinner last night 😭 would not recommend especially for that price.

    I went here a couple of days ago to try something new here in Chula Vista and wanted Tacos. When I ordered my food and for take out and went home to eat their was hair in my food. When I called the restaurant to complain the female said so nonchalant “Oh it was me, I forgot to put my hair net on.” She offered for me to come back and get a replacement, but I was so disgusted I figured the other food was tainted. I got a refund back, but it was not for the whole order that I did not eat. I will never go there again.

    What a pleasant surprise to stop at this friendly street taco establishment. As you can see from the photos, it is a very clean, friendly place with a wide variety of customers from family with children to couples, solo visitors and many taking entries to go. Was in the mood for meat/ carne and started with taco of carne asada and of Lebanese style pork. Was it good, went back to order 2 more de carne asada! They have a chile bar with salsa de birria, chile verde, chile molido, etc. with fresh sliced radishes and lime wedges. Took home a fish battered taco and a grilled shrimp taco for my son/ daughter and they said it was tasty with a big thank you. They also offer happy priced specials of the day ! Check it out!

    Been here twice. Had the pollo adobado protein bowl and the grilled shrimp burrito. Both are delicious. And the salsa is exceptional. Good little spot. 👍🏼

    I got three delicious tacos, the best one being the beer-battered shrimp. Excellent food and service!

  • 2/5 Leedle 1 year ago on Google
    I ordered the two beef tacos and the chips and guacamole. The Quacamole was terrible. Very bland. It tasted like it came out of an old can. The tacos were okay, the meat was kinda dry and lacking flavor, but the guacamole on the tacos kinda ruined it. Friendly staff tho! Nice clean restaurant. Good prices. I might come back and try something else.

    Great authentic Mexican food. Good customer service. Food was fresh and the wait wasn’t long to receive our order. Clean, well organized taco shop. Definitely better than other taco shops in the area. We ordered the 4 carne asada tacos, carne asada fries, carne asada burrito plus 3 surf and turf tacos. Reasonable prices and portion sizes. Parking can be a nightmare depending on the time of day. Will. return in the future.

    This is the 2nd time my wife and I had been here. I would say, these are the best tacos in Eastlake. I had 2 Adobada and 2 fish Tacos plus a drink. She had 2 Tacos, a Quesadilla. We were stuffed for about $25. Very fresh and tasty Tacos. We met the owner and he told us that he owns 2 others in the area. One is Baja lounge and the other I couldn't remember. Friendly, smiling staff. Clean surfaces.

    👎 no star for this establishment.  Daniella the cashier needs to be properly trained on how to talk to customers. Yes she can repeat what you have ordered  but her communication skills sucks. I tried to be patient because I know its a busy Friday night.  She says she will put me on hold for a second and then puts me on hold for 10 minutes. She then asked for my credit card to confirm payment but then hangs up on me. At the end of my call  she says my order is ready in 15 minutes. This girl does not bother to ask my Name or phone number. Just awful  service.  I told her nevermind. At the end she charges my card when I told her I want a refund.

    Good variety of tacos, all very good. They do a lot of take out orders so there can be a wait even if it looks like no one else is there. Friendly service. They are generous with their tasty sauces!

  • 2/5 Yo M. 11 months ago on Google
    Ordered one of each taco. All tortillas were raw and hard. The asada taco was nothing but fat or nerves no real meat. Limes were rotten and almost dry. 2nd time ordering and disappointed again.

  • 2/5 Bee W. 11 months ago on Google
    usually good experience, but at today's visit, we ordered carne asada fries, no carne asada (vegetarian) and a chicken protein bowl. the fries came with meat and the protein bowl was beef instead of chicken. we lost the receipt so we had to go back and pay again with the right order.

    Ordered adobada tacos. The meat was fresh, guacamole was not watered down, tortillas were fresh. I would order them again but I will try other items on the next visit. The cashier was very nice.
