I really liked this place! We ended up having tacos on the beach at sunset and it was a perfect little dinner for us. I got the chips and guac not expecting a lot but they were GOOD! There was a lot of chips too and they came in a big bag, I loved it and they tasted really good and paired really nicely with the guac which was super duper fresh even though it was kind of late! The shrimp and fish tacos were a fun thing to scarf down after a day at the beach's The tacos were pretty good though I think I enjoyed my chips and guac slightly more but it was still a really fun and decent option if you're craving something on the beach. It's a bit expensive but honestly everything in this area is. The restaurant also has little tables reserved for you to eat at which was convenient to be able to put our food down. We also loved that there was complimentary water you could pour out at any time too! read more

A taco shack in front of the Del Coronado hotel on Coronado Island. We were walking on the beach and wanted to get something quick so decided on this place. Everything in this area in front of the hotel is pricey so this taco shack was no different. I got 2 tacos and a margarita for $54 . You order at the shack then either wait or take a seat in front on one of the picnic benches in the sand. I got a fish taco and a carne asada taco. They were both ok. The fish taco was kind of bland, and I didn't get any salsa, just a packet of Chilula. The carne asada was ok. Had some pickled onion to make it look fancy but not worth the price to me. The margarita was very good, but $19 for a margarita in a plastic cup . I mean it is what it is. A taco shack in front of Del Coronado. You are paying for location and amazing views of the Pacific ocean. read more

Warning-- this is part of Hotel Del Coronado so Prices are at least double the norm. Tacos were $12/each. $$$$$$ Other than the outrageous prices... the shrimp and fish were cooked perfectly (not fried) and all the topping and tortillas were fresh and delicious. You order at the bar and either stand in that area and eat or sit on one of their beach side picnic tables. Service was very friendly and it only took a few minutes for our order to be ready. Convenient if on the beach and desperate for a taco but probably would never come back based solely on the price. read more

It's nice to have a cold beer while on the beach! I forgot what we got, but it was a hazy IPA that was pretty darn good! The place is located right on the Coronado Beach, so it's super convenient. My friend and I each got a beer while we enjoyed our stroll along the beach with my pup. read more

Such a fun hang. Tacos are amazing. Come on a Friday, Freddie Walton is playing and he is amazing?

I went here on Friday during my trip to San Diego. I had the Carne Asada Taco & The Berry Sprit. Both were good, just pricey. 1 taco was $12 and the Berry Spritz was a non alcoholic beverage for $13. Other than that the staff were friendly and the ambiance was nice eating outside along the beach. read more

Excellent Marg on the beach to top off a short day of work. Where else can coworkers enjoy a drink w feet in the sand. Pricey yes, and expected due to the location outdoors of the Hotel Del Coronado. Perfect place to grab a drink in a more laid back setting than the formal hotel property. read more

No! I can't justify the one taco for the price. The taste and quality was aight! The taco shell was gummy and dry at the same time. It was not good. There's soo many other taco places near by that's way better. Don't recommend if you want authentic good quality food. read more

One of two options at Hotel Del if you need food to go. The Surf & Turf is a rich mix of brisket and shrimp, Achiote Shrimp has a nice, perky spice. No thanks on the Catch of the Day Taco - the slab of fish is bland and dry and it tastes like it was the catch of several days ago. The Chile Relleno is a good one, esp for vegetarians - love the mushroom and pepper combination. There's also a Cheese Quesadilla for pickier palates. Not bad for a quick meal or a grab n' go. Conveniently located on the beach. read more

Great location for a taco stand at The Del- perfect view of the ocean and they have a cute Tiki Bar setup with seating on the beach. I came on a late Friday afternoon and they had live music playing. The line to order was very long so my friend and I opted to order online. The order took about 10 minutes to be ready and we picked it up behind the bar. By the time we picked up our food, the line at the bar was shorter so I also picked up a margarita, which was well made. I had the Surf & Birria Taco which was just ok. The flavor was kinda bland - the beef was dry and the shrimp was not spicy at all. This taco definitely needed hot sauce. Overall, this place is overpriced for what it is but it's at The Del with an amazing location so... read more

Well it's a taco truck on the beach in front of The Del so I should have expected that sort of pricing for a simple taco and drink... but $50 for 2 tacos and 2 drinks? Insane. Food was okay... hubs ordered a spicy shrimp taco which he said had no hint of spice and I had the fish taco which lacked flavor but was okay. Glass of wine and a beer each $17 and $14... insane to me. I will say the location is key. Our kids could play on the beach right in front of us while we sat at a picnic table to eat and drink. The beach was trashed with people's garbage which makes me so angry, but they do try to keep up with cleaning the area around the tables. Would I go back? Probably not. But I do see the appeal given the location and ease of it. read more

Am being generous on the rating because location, location, location. First of all, it's at "The Del", right on the sand. What's not to like about that? Live music was a plus. As far as ordering and food, don't expect to be pleasantly surprised - instead, plan to go with the flow. I stood in line with Sweet Granddaughter while Dear Hubby searched for a table with an umbrella for shade. The menu is tacos or tacos. I picked Barbacoa Beef for DH, and a fish taco for me. Found out that they have kids quesadilla, which wasn't on the menu. Though families eat here, the bartenders are all about making alcoholic drinks; the food is secondary to them. In an unpractical fashion, the drinks are served in plastic cups with no lids, so good luck getting them to your table without spilling. I asked SG to help me carry a cup of water, and much of that ended up sprinkling the ground. I had my hands full with a beer for DH and a virgin pina colada for me. Meanwhile, I also paid for our tacos at the same time, but they tell you to come back in about 10 minutes and they'll have the order ready in the back of the building where the kitchen is, not up front where the bar holds center stage. DH goes to get the order, and gives them my name. They hand him my Lianne order, but it really was for Lucas. Lucas had a similar order to ours, but not the exact order. Thus I paid $50+ for 3 tacos, a beer, and a virgin drink, and didn't even get what I ordered. Awkward. The setting of being on the sand with the bay in the distance, the Del over our shoulders, and live music being played made for a relaxing time. If we go back, I will hover by the kitchen and make sure that I get the correct order! read more

At Hotel Del near beach chair rentals. We weren't too hungry and appreciated the reasonable cost here. Around $9 per shrimp or fish taco, come with corn tortillas, generous toppings with avocado and slightly spicy chipotle crema and pico de gallo, with slaw. If you rent loungers or above, you can order from beach service. We decided to order directly at the stand so it didn't have time to get cold. Recommended. read more

The fish tacos were sub par. They looked like they were boiled on hot water. There was no texture, no grill marks indicating they were made fresh. They also didn't offer guacamole with their carne asada tacos. As an establishment that offers tacos in San Diego you would think that condiment would be offered. At best, their fruity drinks are worth the visit. read more

Save your money and your patience -- skip the Beach + Taco Shack at Hotel Del Coronado. We went for lunch on July 4th and it was an absolute joke from start to finish. We waited in line for about 10 minutes and placed an order for four tacos (Achiote Shrimp, Fish, Pork Al Pastor, and Portobello Fajita) and one bottle of water. We were told it would be a 10-minute wait -- totally reasonable. But after 30 minutes of standing around, watching dozens of people who ordered after us get their food, I went up to check. The response? "It'll be another 20 minutes." For tacos. I asked to speak to a manager, and someone named Martha came over. I explained the situation, and instead of taking ownership or even showing a hint of concern, she gave me a list of excuses about how "busy" they were -- but couldn't explain why we, among everyone, were being skipped. She offered chips and salsa and water to make up for it, but that wasn't the point. I told her this was absurd, and if they couldn't handle basic taco orders, I wanted to speak to the Food & Beverage Director. Funny enough, he was "unavailable," but miraculously, our food appeared 10 minutes later. All in all, we waited 40 minutes for four tacos and a water that cost $65 -- and they were awful. The pork was burnt, the shrimp was rubbery, the fish was bland, and the only halfway decent thing was the portobello taco (and even that wasn't worth the price). I called again on Monday, July 7th and left a message for their Food & Beverage Director. No response. No apology. No accountability. Not even a courtesy call back. The fact that this place is part of a high-end resort makes it even more pathetic. Do yourself a favor: skip the overpriced mess and bring your own tacos from anywhere else. You'll spend less, wait less, and actually enjoy your food. read more

I know people have said it before, but the location of the Beach & Taco Shack is fantastic. The ocean, live music, cocktails and taco, what's not to love?! We got the Beef Barbacoa Taco and Surf & Birria Taco and damn they were good. Two of us got the sunset beach and neither of us were fans. The whiskey point and peachy bottom were very tasty. The guys mixing and taking orders were super friendly and very welcoming. read more

Worst tacos I've ever had and way too over priced. Salsa is insanely spicy too. Wouldn't recommend to my worst enemy. Ps don't get a quesadilla. They charged us 10$ for 2 soggy corn taco tortillas not even cut up with a tiny bit of cheese read more

The sand is perfect, and the view the same. Couple that with great service and live music for a really nice day. That about sums it up. Jaime was a great server - very friendly and attentive - we felt like it was important to him we were happy. We began with the Windandsea and Pipeline cocktails. The Windandsea was ok, but I would not order again. My wife enjoyed the Pipeline. Food was a big disappointment. After looking at the menu (and the ridiculous prices!) we decided to go for street tacos for lunch. The tacos were not cheap ($8 per street taco), but we were not that hungry and a better option. We had the shrimp and grilled Mahi Mahi tacos. The shrimp were ok, but the Mahi Mahi were dry, overcooked, and not much flavor. Maybe the steak taco is the way to go, but we did not try it. Each taco came topped with slaw, pico, and guacamole. We also ordered the Smashed Avocado (guacamole) with chips for $21. It truly was only one avocado's worth of guacamole at best and only a few chips - just enough for 1 person. To come up with the 4 overall, I rate the view and experience a 5, the service a 5 and the food a 1. read more

3.5 stars for the tacos. 0.5 stars for the friendly staff. So as much I as loved the vibe of the Sun Deck, if you're looking for the shack experience, look no further than the Beach Shack. They have tables up front, some high, some low, others picnic tables with mismatched chairs and umbrellas. Music plays all around you and you can see people chilling, playing, getting ready to get into the water, all right in front of you. If you ever wanted the relaxed beach vibe, this is it!! We chose the beef, fish and shrimp tacos and the chips and salsa. Out of the tacos- I liked the fish, shrimp, beef in descending order. I really liked all of them. They're not anywhere close to what you'd get at Taco Stand or Salud, but you also won't get the vibes at those places. I lived the salsa as it was gauc based. The chips were decent. For the two of us, all of this food was quite filling. A well-spent early afternoon by the beach. FYI: you can use the Del dining credit here.. read more

We were staying at the hotel Del Coronado and had planned ahead to get tacos from the taco shack, put our toes in the sand and enjoy the beach atmosphere but when I got there they were closed down for remodeling. No warning at all so they were serving their tacos out of this truck, you'll see in the pictures. I got the fish taco with mahi-mahi in it and it was very lovely and then got a stone IPA. The server in the truck was kind of rude and short with me. No clue why I even tipped him well even after his rudeness. The gal that brought me my taco, which I ate sitting on a cement wall was much nicer than he was. Wish I got his name. Anyway, I cannot wait until they're done remodeling this whole place because it's really special. read more

This is a classic looking taco shack on the beach in front of Hotel del Coronado. I would say it's a must go if you're in the area because their tacos are bomb. Full of flavor with every amazing bite!! The reason why I did not give 5 stars is because it's crazy overpriced. A single taco is ~$7 and a single drink is ~$17. There are no chips, rice, beans, or anything else included. But I will say you get a couple cherries with the pina colada, which was nice touch. However, the prices are high because you're literally eating tacos and drinking alcoholic slush drinks ON THE BEACH. So the surcharge is expected. (There are only tables on the beach to eat, no inside or covered dining available). So would I recommend going? Yes absolutely. It's insanely delicious. But one time is enough for me! read more

I am very sad to say that coming here pregnant has been not as enjoyable as normal. We have been coming here for years. We love the live music. Jason who plays here is amazing! We always order like you should if you are sitting and enjoy the live music. The problem is no one comes around to check to make sure people aren't just taking up the tables. They have way less tables than they use to so it doesn't accommodate as many groups anymore with the picnic tables. I ordered food 7 1/2 months pregnant and they won't serve you a water. You have to walk to the back for water. So here I and pregnant, got my water, now there are no tables and my food came out. I am in a horrible mood because of this and had horrible service considering. Then of course there were people there who didn't order and no one who works there is checking. Very disappointed after spending $13+ on 1 single taco that wasn't very good. This is the second day we have come here as it is a favorite spot of ours. However, it looks like we will be frequenting somewhere else where you get treated better since it wasn't good service either day. Loyalty does you no good here. read more

Easy access to the taco shop from the beach walkway and lots of seating. The shrimp tacos I got were actually really really good, the only thing they're missing is a good hot sauce they give you little packets that are very similar to Taco Bell maybe I was really hungry but the tacos are well-made minus the salsa.

This is one of those places we bring out of towners for the San Diego beach experience they were hoping for - drinks, tacos, and live music. All with your feet in the sand. It's a hotel so all of it is overpriced. But in the ambiance, you really don't care. It's a really fun little bar with good drinks and tacos. read more

While on a bicycle cruise around town, I stopped off here for a bite and a drank. Location and ambiance was very relaxing. Crowded but not too crowded. It took a little longer than anticipated to place an order, and longer to get my tacos. That's fine, it's expected on a Saturday afternoon. Slightly disappointed at the size of the fish in the tacos, as well as the flavor. They were both a bit dry and fish tasted overdone, but I ate it anyway. The drink was tasty and I felt like a second would have been the perfect amount, but I already spent over $30 on a small drink and 2 small tacos so I left. Sadly I will probably not return. If the food was a bit better, the experience overall would have been much more pleasant. read more
