    Oh wow!! The food was spoon good. It was a little pricey for a burrito and fries, but in the end so worth it. The staff is very nice and were ontop of everything. Great place for a bite to eat! Picture is the California burrito - can't go wrong!

    Went here on my last night in San Diego and regretted not coming here sooner instead of the other more “popular tourist” spots. So if ever in SD gaslamp square do your tastebuds a favor and come try their many different ways to make a taco, my recommendations are the carne asada, chipotle shrimp and kids loved the xtra-cheesy giant quesadilla P.s. come hungry because they are very generous with their fillings 👍

    The food was so good! There were so many options to choose from. I got a surf and turf taco (added chipotle sauce on it was *chefs kiss*), and I got the birria loaded fries which were also amazing, loved the nacho melted cheese on them! 😋 Very friendly service! Great atmosphere, great music! Definitely will be back to try more food on the menu 😌

    Nice spot for fish tacos, with a different combination I will be coming here in the future. Bright atmosphere playing dance music. Only real complaint was that my fries tasted like fish.

    Chips served with the guacamole were warm and perfectly seasoned. Tacos were absolutely delicious. Highly recommend the chipotle shrimp and battered white fish tacos. Salsa bar available. Great taco shop in downtown San Diego. Would definitely go back again.

    Great food that is freshly prepared. Their Carne Asada is cut and trimmed in-house. 0 fat in the meat. Beautifully seasoned, tender, and juicy. Also ordered a vegetarian burrito great taste and vegetable assortment. Don't waste your money on Tacos El Gordo unless you like grease and low quality meat.

    So this place immediately caught my attention with all the NBC artwork. Tacos were great! I had the carne asada taco and the birria taco which was amaaaziiing! My mouth is watering just thinking about it. My husband had shrimp tacos and really liked them as well. They guy at the cashier (he seemed to be the owner) was super nice. We would definitely come back when in the area.

    This is one of the best Mexican eateries that I have been to. Located around the Gaslamp quarters business district. The tacos are authentic and taste delicious. The service was great! Very friendly staff and extremely clean restaurant. I would recommend this if you are around the area and looking for some real tacos.

    Definitely a must!! Some of the best Tacos I have had in San Diego! The food was delicious I can't wait to come back and try other things off the menu. The surf and turf burrito!!!!!! Mmmmmm

    The two tacos (scallop and white fish) and cerveza I got definitely hit the spot after a long flight. Decently priced, nice atmosphere and good service. Bet that place picks up with all the late night club traffic. God bless the servers who have to deal with that madness. The tacos weren't super loaded but were enough to satiate my anger.

    Delicious tacos and great service. Prices were standard for a really good and high quality street taco. Tortillas were good too. Highly recommend. The murals inside is very cool. Don't miss this place...it's worth it!!!

    Wide variety of classic tacos at affordable prices for the area. However, they refuse to provide tap water (they'd rather sell you bottles) and there is no washroom. Eating tacos is messy and I can't even access a sink to clean my hands??
