There are many taco joints in downtown San Diego, but nothing comes close enough to the carnitas they serve. The restaurant manager? was very nice and helpful. Her recommendations made our first visit a wonderful experience. I recently recommended this place to several people, they all loved it.

As seen on diners, drive ins and dives, this place did not disappoint. I got a Mula De Adobada and…read moreTaco de adobada. I don't know all of what they put on it, but it was delicious! So glad I stopped in. Service was quick despite being busy. Ambiance is that of a carnicería, with several walk-up lines depending on the type of meat you like. You get your food then go pay at the cashier. Self seating is available with someone constantly walking around cleaning. If in the area again, I would definitely come back and will be recommending this place to everyone. That's this critic's review, until next time, I'll be eating.

I came to Tacos El G around 9:30 PM. They're open until midnight, which I appreciated, and when we…read moregot there it wasn't hectic. The place was clean, and there was plenty of seating. You order and pay first, then they call your name when everything's ready. Service was nice and straightforward. The salsa bar was clean and stocked with fresh limes, two salsas, and radishes. There are a few tables inside plus a bigger table, but we chose to sit outside on the patio. It was clean, comfortable, and the weather made it easy to eat outside. Cabeza: $3.69. Super juicy and packed with flavor. If you like cabeza, this one hits. It came with onions and cilantro and didn't need much else. Lengua: $4.38. Lengua is usually my go-to, and this one was cooked really well. Not greasy at all, which I appreciated. The texture was right, and the flavor was solid, especially with extra lime. I enjoyed it, but I wouldn't order more than one at that price. Adobada: $3.69 each. These were my husband's favorite. They come with a creamy green salsa that isn't at the salsa bar, and it pairs really well with the pork. Probably the safest order here. I'd come back to try other items since they have a lot of different cuts and styles, but the prices do make you pause a little, especially if you're ordering multiple tacos.

Tacos El Gordo has always been my go-to spot when I come home, and the food is still good, but some…read moreof the changes have turned me off a bit. The biggest change is the ordering process. You now have to pay first, then wait for your food to be made. I actually preferred the old setup where you could walk to the different stations, pick your tacos, watch them prepare everything fresh, get it packed up, and then pay at the end. It felt like part of the experience. We also have to talk about the pricing. I remember when these tacos were around $1.25 each. Now they're over $4 for a mini street taco. I understand this is California and the cost of goods has increased, but that is a drastic jump. That said, I don't want to take away from the food because the tacos are still excellent. I ordered two buche tacos and a quesadilla, and both were 10 out of 10. They don't miss when it comes to seasoning and flavor. The service is still quick as well. My only real complaint is the price. It feels overpriced for what you're getting, and honestly, it may explain why there weren't many people there when we visited. There were only a handful of customers inside. The food is still worth trying, but be prepared for some serious sticker shock.

Came here with a small group for mariscos. Overall it was decent, but not super stand out…read more Their agua frescas are a little different than what you'd expect. They're more blended instead of that thinner, water based style. I personally liked the mango since it tasted like a blended mango, but just something to keep in mind depending on what you're expecting. The fish tacos were good and nicely battered. I just wish they made their own tortillas. The ceviche was more of a chopped mix of shrimp, tomatoes, and cucumber, and didn't really have any juice, which threw me off a bit. The aguachile tostada was really spicy. I know it's supposed to have heat, but this one was definitely spicier than most places. The flavor was good though. Overall a solid spot to try, but not one I'd go out of my way for.

This place is a mess!…read more I have been going here for years and just recently the service has been coming down. Today I went for two Carne Asada Fries and let me tell you, the cashiers there are super rude. They just call the orders at random, have you waiting there to order and don't tell you "sorry, give me a second" or anything. When I actually get to order the cashiers cannot even look at you in the eyes to acknowledge you. I waited for a long time and then they called the order that was after me before me, I was like"hey what happened? I was before" and then the cashier pretends like she doesn't know and starts making fun of me because I was wondering about my food being after than the customers after me. When I got home my food was super cold and the carne asada fries were more fries than anything, plus they were cold as if they were sitting out for a while. Total disappointment, they lost a customer with me for sure.

The restaurant itself is very small with a few tables/booths. Service was quick and the food was okay. I personally wouldn't come back here, but it's a good choice if you're looking for a quick bite in the area. Food drink review: Strawberry pancakes: (3/5) These had an odd flavor, don't know how to explain it. The cream had a weird consistency. Overall, decent. Steak & eggs: (4/5) The chimichurri was tasty. The steak wasn't as flavorful as I'd hoped and is super thin. The breakfast potatoes were nice and crispy!

Flavor wise, the chilaquiles were okay, the beans were okay, the potatoes were underwhelming, and the eggs were eggs! Service was friendly and fast, but again, just okay. It is located inside the Market on 8th so the vibe is dependent on how like food courts like that. I honestly didn't mind it and they had plenty of seating which I think is more important. I would come again if someone suggested it, but I wouldn't go out of my way to look for it.

It's so annoying when you order something and you come home and you're finally going to eat the burrito you ordered for to find out they only made a BEAN Burrito? ALL BEANS! No RICE? Just ALL beans! I mean thats just messed up. I hate this place. Can't even get an order right. I try to avoid coming here because they suck and of course I decide to give them a chance and of course it's as expected, crap! Also, asked for All red salsa and what do I get red and green salsa and before I can even let the girl know at the window, she answers the phone. Why even ask what salsa I want if you're not even going to give me what I asked for.
