Chris Cegielski

The food is delicious. The ordering process is crazy. Hard to eat a variety of ???? if you're by yourself without them going cold. Seating is a challenge when it's busy

Fran

You can't go wrong with anything here. My usual are the cabeza , buche, adobada , and azeteca tacos .

marc milan

the food here is just amazing! some of the best mexican food i've ever had. not just the adobaba, either. don't be afraid to work your way across the menu, you'll be rewarded with unexpected treasures

Joey Hernandez

parking can be tough so just park at the station a little down the street... way easier and less stressful that way

Yvonne Pao

It can get pretty hectic here, so it's best to come with multiple people to wait in different lines . Favorite tacos : adobada and lengua . Sopes are good too.

Aki Pie

Tacos are really delish but it is the most inefficient system I have ever seen... for those who come for the first time: get into the line of which ever sort of taco you want most.

Mario Castillo

Adobada and asada tacos are awesome, the only problem is the lanes you need to do to ask for your tacos , even in Mexico we have waiter on the taco places !

Joshua Haftel

The al pastor is amazing. This is the Mexican food I miss in SF...

Amanda S

Get Adobada ! I tried chorizo but Adobada is significantly better and it's not overloaded with avocado . Be sure to ask for hot sauce when you check out and add it to your tacos !!

Gabe Cruz

The meat was awesome! Real Busy, but if you are in San Diego make the trip at try it once! Read more

Aaron Lim

Separate lines for each taco . Asada is great. Adobada (spicy pork ) bit over cooked. Next time, get 3 Asada. No line on Tuesday at 10:30am

Jennie Dinh

So good that I had to wait 45 min in line at 9:45pm on a Wednesday!! I always get the lengua , adobada , and cabeza .. Yum!

Ryan Brallier

Amazing food. Ok for groups. Get here before 12pm to beat the lunch rush.

Krys Ronquillo

The adobada pork is delish! If you aren't a pork fan, then the adobada beef is the way to go.

Luke Wang

Authentic tacos but with a long wait if you come at the rush hour. Get the tacos de lengua (tounge).

Moo Ju

Corn tortillas handmade right before your eyes... is beauty you'll never forget.

Marisa Moran

Amazing tacos Al pastor . Just don't come thinking you're going to eat right away. Lines are always long and move slowly.

Edgar Sarmiento

Great tacos , especially the al pastor . Quesadillas leave something to be desired, cheese is only half melted and are super messy.

Melissa ????

Didn't disappoint! The asada has a smokey BBQ flavor...a nice twist on your basic street taco . Guacamole was a nice touch ;)

J

The absolute best tacos . Ate 13 tacos my first time here because I didn't know when I'd be back

Hector Zermeno

Bomb tacos at this joint. Not to thrilled about having to go in different lines for different meat, but the taste makes up for it.

Joseph Manlapaz

Anything on their menu is great. Highly recommend their lengua and barbacoa tacos .

Matthew Gordon

Great tacos . You should eat here, but be aware that everything about this place is a cluster. You've been warned.

Andy Franco

Adobada tacos with everything. Also try an adobada quesadilla with flour tortilla with everything!!!!

Nathan Lee

Tacos adobada/al pastor is the best! Cabeza is also good if you like soft meat.

NikkiG

Best tacos ever but be prepared for a long wait , standing room only and a possible walk because of minimal parking .

Mohsin

Bring an appetite, and maybe your passport. Carne Asasa might be the best taco I've ever had

Ryan Lara

Tacos are solid, but be adventurous and check out the mulas and quesadillas too!

Kat Fukui

Adobada tacos were amazing. That sauce. Three was enough for me.

Elvis Prietto

Tripas tacos love this place I noticed the food in USA side isn't as good as the tacos across the border but it will have to do

Jon Darveau

Tacos are awesome. The whole line situation is a bit bizarre and leads to confusing delays but stick with it.

Javier Alvarez

I love the Tacos ! don't need to cross the border any more Just to get tacos..

Sofia De la Garza

Instead of *tacos* de Adobada , try *tostada * de Adobada . It's more meat and less greasy. Thank me later.

Allen Wu

Adobada is a must. Beef head is surprisingly tender and delicious!

Spencer Wise

Best tacos in the world. The Adobada tacos are to die for.

Mattress Man

This is the place you go to when you can't go to Tj for the real thing. Expensive and cold meat with fake guacamole . You can tell ownership changed several times increasing profits while quality lol

ᴡ Delgado

The tacos are really good! Service is really bad, anyone can order anything on designated lines , employees don't care, prepare to wait up to 15 min on a bz day.

Jonathan Goldberg

De Adobada is amazing!

Ken Davidson

I'm a fan of tacos and these are the best tacos I've ever had

Jason Amansec

Some of the best carne asada tacos I've ever had!

Siram Ngamkiree

Food and service very nice

Julia Wu

Make sure you try the lengua (beef tounge) and abodaba (spicy pork ) tacos with everything on it!

Matt Wahl

Tacos de adobada (pork ) are out of this world.

SJ Sou

Sunday afternoon is super busy! Be prepared to wait in line for at least 45 min

Raul Ojeda

Las salsas no pican pero están sabrosas. The hot sauce is not hot but very tasty indeed...

Chris Aquino

Bring 2 people so you don't have to wait in the other line for different tacos .

Moris B

Best traditional Mexican tacos outside Mexico ... no place like it anywhere else in the US!!!!

Elviana Thio

I tried one of every taco and the adobada tacos were defiiiinitely the best!!

Laura Ramkissoon

Try the Adobada Tacos - (via @Foodspotting)
