    Tucked away... love that.

    When we first moved to Carlsbad 10 years ago, I went on my search for Carnitas. My yelpers led me to Cancun. The picture of my Carnitas burrito comes up on the homepage of Yelp quite a bit, so today I thought let me go in order my burrito and show the beautiful family and friends that take care of me at Cancun. I walked in today and took my surprise. The entire family and friends were at a table eating lunch, so I showed them a picture on the front page of Yelp. They got almost emotional with pride, so today I ordered the same burrito I've gotten for 10 years and enjoyed it even more.

    Been around for a while so not sure Id qualify it as a "hidden gem" despite being attached to a gas station but thats not a first. The service is great, plenty of space to eat inside or out, food hits the spot, legit hot sauces, decent prices... checks my boxes for a 5 star taco shop. Seems family owned? I think when you can say "no complaints", that means perfect IMO.

    Cancun Mexican and Seafood is an authentic Mexican restaurant with great flavors and nice and fast customer service. The place has both indoor and outdoor seating, and the decor is vibrant. I placed a phone pickup order. When I went to the restaurant, my order was ready and well-packed. The restaurant was very clean and organized. I missed the restaurant from the last time I was in Carlsbad, so I ordered a few dishes: -Grilled fish taco -Adobada taco -Carnitas taco -Grilled fish burrito -Veggie burrito with jalapeno on the side -Filete pescado grilled plate - Carne asada plate The food was fresh, savory, and flavorful. The portions were huge. I really love this restaurant. Stop by to try their authentic food if you are nearby.

    Breaded Fish Taco

    I'm not sure why people in the reviews call this a hidden gem. I Definitely cannot relate. The food was mediocre at best. The fish tacos were really unimpressive... there was more breading than fish as you can see in my photo and they really didn't put much of the fish taco sauce on it. Over all, the food kind of lacked flavor especially from a Mexican spot. I'm really not looking forward to the smell of my husbands flatulence later... it seems the quality and enjoyment of the food was not worth the consequences that come along with it.

    Latest visit was terrible. Not sure if the ownership changed. The tacos were super expensive $5.50 each and they are super tiny. The tortilla is basically cheap mass produced low quality machine made processed food. There was a tiny piece of meat in the taco, barely taste anything. The soup was really bad, I found more than 1 piece of hair in there. Short and thick, it was absolutely disgusting. Avoid! Really terrible!

    Really great service. Fast and delicious . Glad we stopped here for burritos. My husband got the surf and turf burrito and he finished before I could even take a photo. Great flavors. Outdoor seating was covered.

    Looking for a good California burrito? This is the spot. Want a good surf and turf burrito, this is the spot. Ceviche was good too if you want seafood. It's on the side of the gas station. Honestly, I came bc I was staying at a nearby hotel and this was within walking and biking distance. I had fancier food the night before and it kind of sucked. I needed to eat something redeeming and this was it. Salsa red and green for the win. 4 tvs to watch and lots of seating inside. Everything was clean and they have free water.

    The salsa in question.

    The food was not good. It's wired that even if you're eating in the restaurant, your food is still served in takeout containers.

Since the location is in a small plaza, parking is definitely a challenge when it's busy. I highly recommend placing a mobile/phone order ahead of time so you can just grab and go. Highly recommend!

    I decided to stop by Los Tacos in Encinitas after reading all the great reviews about this specific…read morelocation! The parking lot has plentiful parking but was completely full as I was leaving around 12pm. There were tons of order pick-up spots and 20-minute max parking spots that help with the flow. The restaurant was impeccably clean with a growing line of lunch-goers. The workers were very efficient and the line moved quickly. I also noticed the apparent owner/manager talking to regulars and greeting customers as they walked in, which I really liked to see! I was served my order to-go in less than 10 minutes and ended up unexpectedly using the other 10 minutes after taking my first bite--after that it was hard to stop. The burrito was the perfect size (not too large and not too small). My original breakfast burrito was wrapped in a fresh hand-made tortilla filled with fluffy eggs, the perfect amount of bacon, cheese, soft fresh potatoes, topped with the avocado salsa verde which went perfectly with everything. I even ended up sipping the salsa (it was that good) between bites of the burrito. I was also blown away by the clean and fully stocked salsa bar. So many options (including non-spicy ones for those with gastric limitations too!) and they even offered radishes, carrots, and pickled onions individually wrapped with care. Everything tasted fresh and home-made. After 7 years being away from San Diego, Los Tacos delivered exactly what I had been missing. This location really blew me away and I will definitely be back to see what else it has to offer.
