The asada was , the tortillas were on point, and everything just tasted fresh and legit. I've had tacos from that other very famous taco spot ... and let's just say TJ Tacos had me wondering why I've been wasting my time standing in those other lines. TJ Tacos: 10/10. Taquero: 11/10 salesmanship. My stomach: 12/10 satisfied. My wallet: mildly offended by the extra taco, but understands. Would absolutely come back.

TJ Tacos was a disappointing experience. We ordered 12 tacos, and the total came out to almost $59,…read morewhich felt very expensive for what we received. The tacos had very little meat, and the portions were not satisfying. To make matters worse, our order only came with four hot sauces. When we politely asked for more hot sauce and extra napkins, the staff refused. We were also told that only one napkin was allowed per plate, which was surprising. Even other taco places, like Frida's, are much more accommodating. Overall, the food did not justify the price, and the customer service left a lot to be desired. Unfortunately, this was an unpleasant visit, and I won't be returning. I'll definitely be taking my business somewhere else in the future.

I have the El Pascado, TallGirl had the Adaboado and the Coco Loco. For good measure we also got chips and guacamole. They have stubborn cola, which is always a hit for me. The chips were fresh and crisp and perfect amount of salt. The guacamole had a lovely lime hit. It was very good (from a non guacamole lover) and I especially like it with the chipotle salsa. My tacos were so yummy! I love how each taco had some fresh fruit on it. Each bite made my mouth happy!! The service was friendly, quick and personal. I felt like we were in a place where everyone knows your name. There is outdoor seating in the front and rear patio. And about 11 tables inside. This is on the list to come back to again and again!!

When ordering my food customer service was great. I sat own and received chips and salsa. These were great as well, the chips were amazing! Today I ordered the Vegan Avocado, Vegan Al Pastor and the Vegan Zucchini tacos. I was really looking forward to the chips and salsa but I didn't receive anything :/. Since I was the only one that just ordered in the restaurant I just figured maybe they don't offer them anymore. My food came out quickly but it was nice last time to have the chips to scope up my fallen fillings. Another customer came in and ordered and within minutes they received chips and salsa. Not sure why I didn't receive anything. I was disappointed I didn't receive any because I really enjoyed them my last time here. Atmosphere is great and a nice quiet place to enjoy your food.

Still the best Pastor among the 20+ taquerias I've tried in Escondido. My ongoing complaint is that…read moreI like a few chips on the side, but you have to pay $6.00 for a big pile, dwarfing the cost of the taco. Since my last visit, they've changed their salsa policy and there are no cups available at the salsa bar; they give you only two tiny cups when you order amid what I consider to be a bad attitude by the order taker. The salsa bar has three mediocre salsas, plus limes, cucumbers, and radishes. If you want anything more than two salsas, there is no place to put them until your get your order, requiring juggling with your plates at the salsa bar. It's also a bit weird that you have to take your receipt to a prep station to get your order. Have they never heard of a remote printer?

The food is great and at a great price as well. Love the rice that comes in the burritos.read more

I'm giving this place 3 stars for now because my first experience was genuinely great, but my…read moresecond visit was disappointing enough that I almost rated it 2 stars. The first time I visited a few weeks ago, I had a really positive experience. The location was a little hard for me to find, but once I got there, it seemed worth it. I walked in craving a breakfast burrito and was helped by a very nice, slender gentleman at the counter. I asked for a ham, bacon, and sausage breakfast burrito and also requested that it be cut in half. He was friendly, said no problem, and within minutes I had exactly what I ordered. That burrito was delicious. The salsa station was stocked and convenient with self-serve cups readily available, and the atmosphere was nice. The people around me were friendly, and one gentleman even mentioned this was the place that used to be near Peterson's Donuts. Overall, it was a great first impression and I left happy, already planning to come back. Fast forward to today, Saturday, April 25, 2026 around 10:30 AM, and unfortunately, my second experience was the complete opposite. This time there was a young woman working the register, and from the moment I approached, she didn't seem very welcoming. I told her I wanted to order a breakfast burrito but wasn't sure what kind I wanted today. She told me the only options were bacon, egg, cheese and tater tots, or egg and cheese. I politely asked if I could add ham and sausage and pay extra, since that's what I had ordered before. She immediately responded that they "didn't have that type of breakfast burrito." That response confused me because I had literally ordered one there before. I wasn't going to argue, especially because her tone and attitude made me feel like I was bothering her just by asking questions. I then asked if the burrito could be cut in half and never really got a clear response. I also noticed the salsa station no longer had the little self-serve cups available, so I had to ask for those too. The same cashier asked how many I needed, and I said two. A few minutes later, another woman called my name and handed me the burrito. I sat down and realized it wasn't cut in half like I requested. At that point, I had to go back up and ask for a plastic knife and fork just to cut it myself. Which was not a problem or issue for me. I ate half of the burrito, but honestly, it wasn't nearly as good as the first one. The taste was underwhelming, and by the time I left I was just so disappointed. I ended up throwing the other half away after I left. Consistency matters, especially when the first experience set the bar high. The food was great the first time, but the service and quality were lacking the second time around. My honest opinion: if someone is having a bad day, they probably shouldn't be the first face customers interact with at the register. I may update this review depending on how management responds, because I know this place can do better based on my first visit.

We ordered a standard fish taco, as well as octopus, marlin, and smoked tuna tacos, along with a sampler of the aguachile. We ordered the verde, mango, and tres chiles. Pros: - Friendly service; our waitress gave us some great recommendations as we were overwhelmed by the huge menu. - The tacos were fantastic. The tortillas were lightly griddled and not too thick. The octopus and fish tacos were very well-seasoned and flavorful. The marlin taco was a standout--it was lightly spicy, smoky, and well balanced with minced carrots and celery. - Decent portions, especially the aguachile. Each sampler dish had ~4-6 shrimps. My favorites were the verde (spicy salsa verde) and tres chiles (tasted like a limey, spicy chipotle salsa) Cons: - I was not a fan of the mango aguachile and would not order it again. I thought it would be a standard aguachile sauce with some fresh mango chunks, but it turned out to be shrimp marinated in this overly sweet, gloopy mango sauce that tasted like a melted mango popsicle. If you are sensitive to spice, I would make sure to check in with your waiter before ordering anything. I thought I had a medium spice tolerance but found myself huffing and puffing like a chud after eating the aguachile, lol. All in all, would visit again if I was in the neighborhood!

I've always have had a good experience here up until today. I wanted a specific piece of meat, it…read morelooked just the right size. Being that their meat is not cheap. You get what you pay for, their meat is good. I asked for a specific piece and he proceeded to ignore me and chose the piece that he felt inclined to give me. The piece was a much smaller size. I told him that I wanted the other piece because it was a better size(not too small, not too big). He went on to say that they are all the same size and stuffed the bag with both pieces! Don't know if he's trying to meet a quota! Or just upset that I interrupted his cleaning routine. Granted, it was 7:00PM when I was shopping. I chose another type of meat as well, and made sure to tell him I only wanted one piece of that one. As a customer this experience did not make me feel valued. It made me feel very ignored. He then facetiously started wishing me a good day. I proceed to checkout and let the lady know what had just happened & she graciously mentioned that she could tell him to take it out. I was like that's ok. Just wanted to get out of there. I was very upset and mentioned to her that'll just leave a review. Don't know if she was one of the owner's wives ;), because she proceeded to let me know that management doesn't see the reviews anyways. I responded that this is a review for us customers to see, but as good business management I would think a business would like to see their reviews here and there. Anyhow, $90+ later, for three pieces of meat(one in which I didn't ask for) and a salsa, you bet my bottom dollar that I am going to write a review. *Changed the review to 2 stars. After I got home, & as I opened my packages(2 different kinds of marinated meat) in which I only wanted ONE steak of each. I came to find out he gave me TWO of each. marinated flavor--when I only wanted one of ea. Rude man gave me TWO of each kind!!! It all worked out on our side of things, but if this situation was to happen again, I will definitely will let that man know that I asked for one piece AND to take the others out. But then again, I highly doubt I will be going back there anytime soon!!!
