The tri tip is delicious! We ordered tri tip tacos and surf and turf burrito both were fantastic. The employees are kind and helpful.

I love this place!! Me and my gf went in and got the crack breakfast burrito plus a fish taco on the house. The food is so yummy and everyone in there was so sweet to us!! 10/10 read more

Advertised as famous burgundy tri tip. Not even close. What they called tri tip was some kind of beef flat steak not remotely close to "famous burgundy trip tip. Save your money, never going back to that place. Dont understand how they can claim burgundy tri tip without challengee from the real burgundy tri tip store. read more

Amazing service and quality food!They are seed oil free and only cook with beef tallow and olive oil which is a game changer. This place is a great addition to this area. Can't wait to go back!!! read more

See all

Max is the man! The food quality is top tier, they treat you like family, definitely try their Cali and fish tacos!!! Best taco shop in the city read more

I'm a big fan of Seaside Market's Cardiff Crack. First time I tried Crack Taco Shop, I had the Crackalifornia burrito. The meat was tender, plenty of guac, I had good first impression. Unfortunately, it's been downhill since. The tri tip quality is super inconsistent, sometimes tender (rarely), most times dry and always under seasoned. One thing that is consistent, their fries suck! They are mushy, in the worst mashed potatoes way, mealy. Fries are supposed to bring a contrast of textures with the crispy fies, they can't deliver that. Three separate times, I asked if they could make the fries extra crispy. Every time, the cashier types something on the p.o.s. (I assumed instructions to the cook for crispy fries). It doesn't matter, your fries will always come out mushy, never crispy in any way. And again, always under seasoned. With quality meat & guacamole, how can you screw up a California burrito and charge $20 for it? Unacceptable. Also, they are super stingy about their salsa to go. I've been told they would give me crispy fries, they lied. I've been told "I gave you 2 red and 2 habanero salsas", they've also lied about that. I would love for them to succeed, and I live a stone throw away from the place. Unfortunately, I won't support a restaurant that shows no care and no respect towards their own food and their customers. read more

Cesar really good dude super nice friendly and helpful, food always hits too best Mexican in the area for sure

Service 10/10 and the crackafornia burrito 10/10. Had to try this spot after my friends were raving about it and it lived up. Will definitely be back! read more

Saw an Insta spot about Crack Taco Shop and tried it today. The decor looks great, the service was very welcoming. My husband and I ordered the tri tip tacos and side of beans. SO DELICIOUS. They make their own tortillas. The taste/texture of them really added to the overall taco. Spiced to perfection and the guacamole was very fresh. Definitely adding this to our round of favs! read more

Home of the of Crack tacos, and burritos a MUST try. Amazing Decor, modern Mexican quality food extremely clean.

The atmosphere was amazing with a comfortable setting. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome. Overall, excellent service and a lovely environment, I'll definitely be back! read more

I had a great experience at Crack Taco. As soon as I walked in, Alexis greeted me with a ton of energy and made me feel welcome right away. I ordered the Crackafornia Burrito and the grilled fish tacos. The burrito was seriously good, the tri-tip especially made a huge difference. Even though it was a big meal, it felt surprisingly clean since they're a seed oil free restaurant. The decor and music also made the place really chill. I'll definitely be back. read more

Amazing staff and food love the spot definitely will be coming back ! Very recommended

Great service, great food! Try the Crackafornia burrito, you'll be glad you did. I'll be back again soon for sure

This is our 2nd time here in a week! The tri tip is delicious. The first time I had the tri tip taco and potato taco. This time I had the nachos. It was over flowing with toppings! We met Joe one of the owners! Very friendly! There are a few tables and very clean restaurant. Give it a try! read more

Excellent food and service!! Amazing ambience! The food is always great and authentic, definitely stop by!

food was terrible, so expensive for bad quality. Couldn't eat it at all, neither could my friend. We had to grilled fish taco and Birria taco, both awful. read more

So disappointed! My husband and I love the crack tri-tip so I was excited to try the taco shop. We ordered the tri-tip nachos and a burrito. The nachos were pathetic. Something you'd see in a prison movie. I've had better nachos at 711. They were disgusting covered with some kind of what I think was a cheese sauce and canned jalapeños and way overpriced. The burrito was so so but very small and not worth the price. I never write negative reviews but this morning I woke up and it was still bothering me. So I had to share. read more

Best tacos around! The tri tip is next level. If you like Mexican food this is your spot

Amazing veggie burrito and my husband got a breakfast burrito with tri-tip, it was epic. They're incredibly large and you get a lot for the price. Will come back again!! read more

Not sure what these guys are thinking. I got a birria and tritip taco. I saw them literally just throw some cold refrigerated meat on the flat top to warm it up and put it on a tortilla. No way they are going to make it with all the top level taco shops pretty much up the street and down the street. ~$7 per taco. Not going back here, super disappointed. No love in the tacos read more

Decided to Try the Crack Taco shop since I am such a fan of Cardiff Crack. I was so disappointed. I ordered the crack burrito which was $20 , so very expensive and the burrito lacked flavor, was very soggy from the juices of the crack and the pico. I didn't get any reason to visit again as there are too many good options for taco's in San Diego and North County. read more

Wayyy to over priced! Meat has no flavor whatsoever.. ordered one of there crackafornia burritos and half of it was gacumale Lolll Get this crap overpriced Mexican food outa leacudia! read more

Total waste of money. Wanted nachos and was very disappointed. Their website makes it look like they are covered in meat. They had maybe 30 pieces total. Mainly cold nacho cheese and beans. Yuck! Was hoping for a good new spot but they won't last. read more

Fresh high quality ingredients, great addition to the neighborhood.. the prices may seem a little high but the quality and amount of food I think justifies it.. we've been many times since its opened, consistently great.. recommend the tacos! Also great people and service.. clean cute cool decor if you don't want to take it home.. read more

Seriously best tacos and best staff! Super clean environment and great quality food. Crack Taco Shop is incredible. Super fresh, super flavorful, and consistently delicious. The tacos are always perfect and the service is fast and friendly. Easily one of my favorite taco spots in San Diego! read more

Was excited to try the new taco spot. Unfortunately not worth it at all. Got the battered fish tacos and getting home all that was in the tortilla was a massive piece of fried fish batter, no fish at all. Drove back up and the response was "I can make another if you like". Well yes I would like, i paid for it didn't I. Don't waste your time, just keep supporting the OG's like Jorges and Juanita's. read more

I was really looking forward to liking the crack tri tip burrito but was so disappointed. It was flavorless and extremely soggy. It was $20.00 and I feel like I threw my money away. I will continue to get my crack fix at seaside market. read more

This is the best burrito you'll ever have. Tri tip breakfast burrito or the crackifornia, pick your poison. Out of all the places I've tried in the area, it's the pinnacle. read more

this place is over priced for the caliber of food the serve. Tacos are nothing worth $6 each. the food is very spicey and too hot for the taste. a shrimp taco burnt my tongue and ruined the rest of my meal. even the guacamole was too spicey and too much lemon juice. and a very small portion for $12- the guy working behind the counter was nice enough. the food was not something i wouldnt pay for again. read more

This place is great! Get the crack burrito, absolutely delicious. Great service and ambiance as well!

amazing food, amazing quality and great service! would recommend the birria quesadilla!!

Crack Taco Shop never disappoints! As a California girl, I'm very picky about the quality of my Mexican food, but Crack Taco meets all of my expectations. From their flavorful salsa and delicious guacamole to their amazing selection of authentic Mexican dishes, they have it all. The staff is always friendly, quick, and provides outstanding service. If you're looking for a family-friendly spot for your next tacos, burritos, and more... this is the place to go! read more

This place seriously has the best California burrito ever! I've been to all the Crack Taco Shop locations and they never disappoint. The flavor, the portion, and the freshness are always on point. The service is great too, everyone's super nice and quick with orders, even when it's busy. You can tell they care about quality and keeping customers happy. I always leave full and satisfied every single time. Definitely my go-to spot when I'm craving tacos or burritos! read more

This place is saving Mexican food in Encinitas. I have been waiting for something like this to show up in our town. I have never had a taco like that crack tri-tip and every must try this taco. Their fish taco is battered to perfection. Max helped me out and even gave me an extra taco to try out. I hope this place never closes read more

Saw this place on Instagram. Decided to give it a try. Max who took our order was awesome! Super friendly! The crack tri tip tacos are delicious! So glad they moved into our neighborhood! read more
