Omg the best Al Pastor ! We got the California burrito with Al Pastor and I don't even like burrito ! It was so so delicious. So was the Baja ???? . I didn't care too much for the ???? taco

val herzog

All the tacos are amazing (they had a special barbacoa that day and it was also incredible) well worth the wait! The whipped drinks are also worth a try!

Love this place. Had the al pastor , camaron , and sonora tacos and all were outstanding. Add beer , cool interior, and you've got a perfect pit stop. Don't forget the salsa bar in the back.

The al pastor taco and California burrito were both excellent. Grilled pescado and mushroom tacos were less good

Quite possibly the best California burrito I've had in SD. The carne asada tastes like real steak rather than mystery meat. Great salsa bar , but no spicy carrots . Oddly, no aguas frescas either.

Natalia Kataoka

Churros with condensed milk , fish tacos , quesadillas .. everything was delicious. It won my heart ❤️

Ricardo Cabrera

Amazing tacos . Recommend the shrimp tacos , and the al pastor tacos . The burrito was great also and guac . Delicious. Highly recommended

Jack Gashi

Great taco joint. Burritos are awesome and meaty as hell. If you get the al pastor fries (????), know that you won't need much else. Very filling.

Tim Deng

Carne aside fries just do it

Rahim Hashim

Incredible carne asada tacos . Loaded with avocado , fresh vegetables , and juicy, cooked to perfection steak

Quepita Zuñiga

Was visiting from the east coast. BEST steak taco I have ever had in my life! I will never look at tacos the same! Service was great and so was the salsa bar .

Joel Blazquez

There is always a line for a reason. Spicy shrimp and al pastor tacos are a great choice ????

Maximum Burger

Cheap , fast, and good. Al pastor with a sauce bar - can’t go wrong

Jennifer Scalia

Tacos , chips , churros . Long line - but it moves decently. (In photo 2 carne asada , 1 Al pastor , 1 grilled pescado , 1 Baja)

Very commendable fish taco , fresh & lightly battered. ????????????????

Worth the wait. All the tacos are delicious. The carnitas fries were great.

Eugene Khramtsov

The Al Pastor was so juicy and the pineapples made it perfect. Sauces were on point too.

Shrimp taco is amazing! Pescado and Carne asada are great too. California burrito is bomb.

Shrimp taco was excellent.

This used to be my favorite burrito place in La Jolla, but the quality's steadily declined while the lines have gotten absurdly long. Go elsewhere.
