Excellent. Go for the caldos and pazole, which are deliciso and el sabor! Parking is a bitch, but the food is outstanding and filling.
Above Average. Looks like a hole in the wall, but don't be fooled. This surfer and skateboarder hang-out has the absolute best carnitas in San Diego.
Excellent. This one time barber shop in the la Colonia section of Solana Beach is a longtime favorite of the North County Coastal crowd. The place is always packed.
Excellent. Don't let the exterior or location scare you. The fish tacos: large pieces of fresh fish battered to perfection; and the El Pueblo burrito was money--tasty carne asada & shrimp.
Excellent. With a name like Mr Taco, you'd think Gringo-ized joint. But to the contrary. This place is outstanding and packed at all time. My al pastor burrito was spicy and flavorful!
Neighborhood gem! Excellent Taco shop. Extremely extensive menu (Carne, Pollo, Puerco, Pescado) that is cooked to perfection. Way above average cervaza selection for a small taco shoppe.
Above average. The California Burrito was money: fries crispy and carne asada was flavorful. Would have liked a tangier enchilada sauce, but it still was good...but not great.
A longtime favorite of the Latino workers in the local flower fields. The food is good overall, reasonably priced and filling.
Above Average. A quintessential old school beach taco shoppe. The beans and rice are tasty. And my surf and turf burrito was filling and flavorful.
Kind of an average taco shoppe. It will do in a pinch, but would never be one of my regular haunts.
Below average. I have to add salt to my burrito because the chicken was unflavored as well as being rubbery. Beans and rice were just average.
Have to give this place an average rating because the beans had the consistence of paste. The habanero salsa was awesome and the carne asada better than most neighborhood taco shoppes.
Just down the street from la colonia park. The food is inexpensive and good...but nothing special.
Right next to Home Depot. It is a hang-out of the local day workers. (hint hint) When attending MiraCosta, I went here for lunch 3-4 times per week. Above Average taco shoppe.
Right next door to Fidel's. Not particularly good. Of the three Mexican Restaurants in La Colonia, this one is below par.
Place was above average. Would have liked my al pastor a bit spicer, but hey that's me. Definitely worth spending your Yankee dollars here.
If the food matched the location on the lagoon side of San Elijo Lagoon, this place would be great. But it is a disappointing place.
More Southwestern than Mexican, but the food is above average to excellent.
Awesome view and awesome food. The California Burrito here is one of my favorites.
Consistently decent food, but nothing spectacular. About average taco shoppe.
A below average taco shoppe. Seen them make the carne asada with canned beef. Stick to the chicken and pork.
Below average. The tacos were flavorful, but the beans were pasty and tasteless. The service was iffy at best.
Below average. Ok, they make the tortillas fresh, but the flavor of the food doesn't live up to the tortillas.
Average. A somewhat sparse menu for a beach area shop. The food was nothing special and the taco sauce unmemorable.
