My mom got a little confused and mixed up her order, and the gentleman at the front was so gracious, patient, and incredibly kind. And the food... omg. Truly the best Mexican food I've ever had, and the prices were very reasonable. We were both so impressed. Can't wait to go back!

Also, it's like down the street from Don Pancho's, which is where I'd probably go if I'm feeling lazy. And then, towards the east is Chula Tacos, which is probably the best joint in IB. So uuuhh, yeah. Well, this is definitely better than the burrito I got at Burritos Luna. The salsa had a little bit of chunkiness to it. For the burrito, they gave me a green sauce after I asked for it.

Indoor seating…read moreis limited, but there's a large patio with both covered and uncovered areas, so there's still plenty of room to sit and enjoy your meal. Service was a bit slow, and the wait for our food was longer than expected, but the food itself absolutely made up for it. The chips and salsa were exactly how they should be -- fresh, flavorful, and addictive. You can always tell a lot about a Mexican restaurant by the chips and salsa, and this place definitely delivered. Both of our meals were packed with flavor, cooked perfectly, and thoroughly enjoyed. Definitely a spot we'd come back to for the food alone.

Tacos El Cino - A Must-Try for Adobada Vampiros…read more One of my favorite taco spots, hands down. I've tried a million places, but the adobada vampiros here keep me coming back. Think of it as a tostada sandwich with cheese on both sides, onions, cilantro, guacamole, and perfectly seasoned adobada meat. Unlike other spots where the tortilla is overcooked or turns chewy, here it's always crispy--adding a satisfying crunch to every bite. The salsa is a standout, too. There's a unique spice in it, maybe cumin, that I can't quite place, but it's delicious. They also offer a green salsa and a habanero salsa, which I'll have to try next time. The slightly sweet adobada pairs really well with the savory salsa, making every bite flavorful and balanced. I also tried the adobada keto taco--just in case I ever decide to do healthier Yelp reviews. It has all the same ingredients but swaps the tortilla for a cheese shell. Surprisingly, the shell held up well with all the toppings and had a great taste, just slightly less filling. If you're thinking about going keto but don't want to give up tacos, this is a solid option.

Those that were eating their food there was enjoying the outdoor dining. My son and I enjoyed socializing with a few locals, some were new to the area (where I was born and raised). This place is ALWAYS a must visit.

I got a carne asada burrito. It was not the biggest nor had the most ingredients, but it was…read morealready sinfully juicy and tasty with just the steak, guacamole, pico de gallo, and salsa. You could say that, with flavor, sometimes less is more. The smaller size allowed the wrap to leverage the umami without needing rice or beans as much. Also, these are cheaper than most burritos I've had recently, so you're not really losing money. Some burritos in town are kinda....huge anyways, and I say that as someone who can eat three of these if I want to. A 3.7 average is somewhat low for Yelp, but I already had a co-worker rave about this place, and I am cursed to drive by it on my way home from work. And reviews are often the victim of what I would consider a form of volunteer bias. People with a 3 star experience simply aren't motivated to write reviews. I can't say this is as impressive as Chula Tacos, but there is something about the vibe that makes me want to give it a higher rating. There definitely seems to be locals that habitually come here for lunch or on their way home from work. That must count for something.

Taco El Gordo is hands down worth the hype. The line was…read moreover an hour long. While waiting, I overheard someone next to us say, "We only eat here, otherwise we go back to Mexico." That alone made me feel like the wait wasn't wasted. We tried a variety of tacos, and everything was solid. The spicy pork (which actually isn't that spicy) was super flavorful and easy to eat. I will highly recommend even if you don't handle spice well. The beef tongue was another standout, it is tender, rich, and really well done. Ordering can be a little confusing at first since you line up by meat and then pay separately, but once you figure it out, it's part of the experience. If you're in San Diego, this place is pretty much a must-try. I'd come back again just for these tacos.

Parking 3/5 -parking lot in front of the restaurant has…read moreabout 20 spots that are shared with other shops in the plaza so you most likely have to park across the street in the residential area during busy hours Service 4/5 -server is friendly and accommodating however feels understaffed during busy times, the owner is always present and very helpful and enthusiastic/passionate with customers, honestly great service! Just be more patient and mindful that they're doing the best they can Food 5/5 -mixed(surtido) and cheek(cachete) tacos, meat is TENDER. I honestly can't taste the difference between the two, I just knew I wanted to keep eating them(even after eating 3). Sturdy tortillas so the tacos weren't falling apart as I was eating, I also really liked that each table had two squeeze bottles of salsa, so convenient -orden/order, if you come here, you have to order this soup with the head meat. It's the essence that sums up the restaurant, it's a little peppery with the sweetness from the diced onions and meaty goodness. It comes with about 4 tortillas and there's a lot of meat in the soup to be made into more tacos Ambiance 5/5 -restaurant was full of people eating food happily(obviously the food was delicious) and there was a guy that sang for donations and vendors that came through selling trinkets, just a mixing pot of life and happy place to eat

That being said, I ordered a pair of sunshine tacos with their eggs scrambled. The tacos came with delicious re-fried chorizo beans, pico de gallo, house-made red salsa, and garnished with a sliver of fresh avocado at $3.50 a piece. The tacos were delicious. I liked that the corn tortillas had that wet appearance from adding a touch of oil to the hot griddle. The eggs were very well scrambled and seasoned, but what really shined were the beans. They were outstanding. The pico was fresh and tasty, and the house red salsa was very tasty and provided a medium heat. I a little more or larger slice of avocado would be nice. Sophia and Frida were both very nice. Sophia was super welcoming and helpful, and Frida was full of smiles. I love happy service and great food.
