    Food was okay Wait time: waited ~20 min for 2 tacos (3 people ahead of me + 1 that I think arrived after me and got his food first ) Price: $8.16 for 2 tacos (tax included) Atmosphere: place looked good, not a fan of the music they had on the TV. Met my expectations? : No

    Best tacos in San Diego! Tacos el gordo are very expensive but quick to make. While taco el trompo have daily deals like taco Tuesday. ($1.50 most tacos) Also it taste just like TJ tacos. The wait on Tuesday is usually 15-20 mins but it’s worth it cuz no one here in SD has this price. Also please tip them they are always busy and they are very kind workers trying to make all of us satisfied. Especially the manager! 🌮 My fave is Al pastor or Adobada🤎💚

    Came here because they recommended. The place is nice with cool paintings on the wall, the food have a good taste. I ordered a TJ torta which it was 👍 I also ordered Carne asada fries, with a lot of fries and poor qty of beef but overall 👍. Dislike the time-frame took a lot to have the order ready.

    First time here and a couple next to us left to go eat somewhere else after waiting for 45 minutes for carne asada fries. I was surprised as my order of tj style tacos took over 50 minutes to be ready despite no people other than us. After all that waiting I was expecting at least some decent tacos but no, the tast was horrible and I've been to many establishments in baja California. Would never recommend anyone to waste their money but most importantly their time here.

    It says it is grand opening so I wanted to try it. It is amazing yummy place to eat at. But I felt sorry for the employees as inside it’s like a sauna and it wasn’t that hot of a day, it was 84° outside but inside it was 120°

    They advertise taco Tuesday and fish tacos for wednesday. Real cheap but when you open your fish tacos the piece of fish is cut in half. Only one half a pieces of fish. I asked why was the fish cut in half and the cashier said it was for the price. If you can't put up with your own sale dont do it but or cook the fish in smaller pieces.

    Rolled tacos were flavorless, and only had meat in the very middle. Cheese on fries was oily and flavorless. Guac was runny.

  • 3/5 Cecelia C. 1 year ago on Google
    I usually like this place, but at the moment the girl at the register is very rude and not really caring about the customers. I'm in line and she is outside on the phone and more people walk in and she continues to stay on the phone. She than comes inside and counts money really slow while more people are coming inside. She is on her phone like it's the things to do. Idk what her problem is, but if she doesn't want work than she needs to go

    There is not a drive through, even though Google says there is. Anyway. The wait was worth the delicious and flavorful food! The service was just fine. I very much appreciate the great prices too! I'll be back when I'm in the area for sure!

    I love this place I love the burritos I love the tacos I hope they don't ever lose how to make fine Mexican food and you know when you lose love you also lose something very important you lose self-control just because I love you doesnt mean i like youI was sitting eating a chimichanga and I came here for one reason. To eat and keep coming. Not to ask, but just to give. Not to want, but just to send. Send the power of the CHIMICHANGA down everybody's throat in the. 619 til they become sick of it. Well, you're gonna get sick of it. Because this freak of nature right here is just beginning to eat. And when I get big enough, there ain't gonna be room for anybody else, but me and all the CHIMICHANGAS. FLOATIN THROUGH THE VEINS and the power of the LOS TAQUITOS CHIMICHANGAAA SSSSSS

    Good burrito (adobado), the sauce bar has some variety in sauces. There's some tvs playing a variety of shows and news. Solid choice for a quick lunch.

    Mini tacos were good. Not bad for a quick bite of tacos. Guacamole spread didn’t look or taste to appealing but to each their own when it comes to a particular flavor. Price is right. Service is quick.

    Great service, very unique flavor. Cafe De La Olla muy rico. Very affordable! Clean and nice atmosphere.
