They consistently make tasty food with large portions. My only complaint in all my years of coming here is they will occasionally forget to put my side of guacamole in my bag, or my side of pico. So, I just check my bag before driving off now. Otherwise, this place is my go to for carne asada burritos or my chicken flying saucers! They have daily specials too so last night I grabbed their yummy potato taco! read more

My my Daughter took me here for my first time. I did not like the burrito. they need to cut the chicken finer or use shredded chicken. and don't want of chicken that you can't chew and they need more flavor. read more

I absolutely adore this restaurant!:) I come fairly often the first time I was a little nervous because the reviews were not the best but I can say with confidence after ordering from here many times that those ppl just cannot be satisfied! This place has good prices huge portions and it's always ready very quickly!:) the food is always so tasty and they have never gotten a single order wrong! The inside of the restaurant is very cute as well and I absolutely love their salsa bar!:) the staff is always incredibly kind too, very friendly and helpful I always reccomend this spot to friends who are looking for some tasty food that won't break the bank! Highly recommend ordering here!! read more

My rolled tacos were ok it was just that runny fake guacamole they put over it that is such a turn off. Better to leave it off or charge more for real guacamole. It came with rice and beans. The rice was hard and not edible. My husband had the adovada burrito and said it was excellent. read more

Ok, back again. The lady taking my order at the counter inside was just rude. I can usually tolerate someone having a bad day, but wow.... This is not how you should run a business. I was trying to give the benefit of a doubt when I read the other reviews the first time, but they are true-i suggest firing this woman and improve on the quality of food. Downtown Oceanside is full of places with great food, cleaner eating areas and better customer service. Don't waste your time; this is my last visit here. read more

Dont know why there's bad reviews on this place. the staff are friendly and are patient with you. got greeted as soon as I stepped up to register and the food tastes pretty good. it's a nice little shop with its own decorations with culture and I approve! read more

Ordered food from them on DoorDash at 9pm on a Monday. Their yelp page said that they're open till midnight. I got a notice that my order was having difficulty and so they had to remade it and i waited longer. Finally my dasher said that the people at diego's refuses to cook my order, because they said they're closed already, (that's not what their yelp page said) and also refused to cancel my order! The dasher immediately told me to cancel because they were being dishonest and thank goodness I did. Thanks to my dasher, and no thanks to diego's. read more

I've only been going to Diego's Mexican Food for about a year, but it has already become one of my favorite spots. The food is consistently delicious, fresh, and satisfying every single time. Their menu is huge--almost overwhelmingly so--but in a fun way. There's something for everyone, and it's impressive how well they execute such a wide variety of dishes. Everything I've tried has been flavorful, well-prepared, and generously portioned. I can't speak to what prices used to be, but the current prices are right in line with every other Mexican fast-food place in the area. Given the quality and portion sizes, it feels like a solid value. If there's any small downside, it's that the late-night food isn't quite as fresh as earlier in the day--but even then, it's still very good and absolutely hits the spot. read more

The food is not good, and it's way over priced. I write this after trying for the third time. I'd rather order Taco Bell and pay to have it DoorDashed. It would still probably be cheaper and better. read more

Menu description sucks.... What is a quesadilla? Grilled flour tortilla, cheese and protein. Ordered a simple Shrimp quesadilla. It came in a styrofoam box, soupy. Soaked flour tortilla in a red sauce, but inside, shrimp, cabbage, rice, tartar sauce??? Pico. Couldn't even eat it. Just picked thru the pile of Muck and just ate the shrimp which was overcooked and rubbery. Service was fine, not quick. Also ordered a churro, must have been previously frozen. Outside deep fried crisp, inside, totally cold and mushy. read more

This place has bomb breakfast burritos. Every time I go to Oceanside and stay the night - it's breakfast burritos in the am. They are so big you have to share. This past weekend we ordered two Cali burritos and two regular bean and cheese burritos (plus breakfast burritos for the morning) and split between multiple people. I know I know, that's a lot of burritos but man they are good. The breakfast burritos heat up so well! I like the salsa but wish the size of the cup was bigger. The service is fast. Usually just order and pick up. I have not eaten on site. The staff is nice and the place is bright haha you can't miss it from the street. read more

To whom this may concern, I the consumer/customer purchase an order of carne asada fries, 3 roll tacos and a burrito with no guacamole or pico. The asada fries looked good, but the fries were not fully cooked. The fries didn't have a crunch or salt. The 3 roll tacos were soggy and only the sides were crunchy. The burrito was great, only thing was they added guacamole when I said "No Guacamole or pico". Well my friends and I went to McDonalds cause that's better than that taco shop no lie read more

The employees here are so nice, but the food is way too spicy. My wife is Mexican (born and raised in México) and likes spice, but we both agreed the food was too spicy without flavor. We were so disappointed. I don't understand how both of our meals literally had no flavor. read more

I went to Diego's at least once a week when I was stationed at Camp Pendleton. This place has great food. Their breakfast burritos are specifically what pulled me in. They also have great California burritos. Can sit inside or outside. read more

Asked for a chile verde burrito, listed as $12.50 on the board. Lady rang me up for $19...tried to tell me it was because of tax...after waiting at the counter to even be attended to. She got angry when I called her on the rip off pricing. No thanks--there are plenty other places to get a burrito! read more

Thank you for the best shrimp burrito in town!! There are a lot of choices when it comes to Mexican food here in Oceanside. But Diego's is by far my favorite! My husband likes the carnitas, it's not too greasy, and the taquitos. But I am all about their massive and delicious shrimp burrito. Drive thru is quick, efficient and never one mistake on my order!

a rolled taco craving grabbed hold of me and wouldn't let go. now that Cessy's and Alberto's (and the venerated Baker's Tacos) have locked their doors, it's hard to find good rolled tacos in the old neighborhood. was picking up my Tundra in Oceanside (now that Dave's Auto relocated from Carlsbad and got rechristened A Better Auto Repair) and happened to see Diego's Mexican Food. was too full to stop then but Yelped 'em when I got home. lots of positive Yelp reviews and the photos looked enticing, so next time I was over that way (liar: I made a special trip because by then the craving was screaming for satisfaction and verging on keeping me up nights), I hit the drive-thru. not the best rolled tacos I've ever had but the cheese and guacamole were generous and the tacos hot out of the fryer. read more

Diego's Mexican Food - 3 ROLLED TACOS with cheese and guacamole -- not great but good enough to satisfy a craving - Mexican Near Me - Oceanside, California

Been here a couple of times now and wanted to give this place the benefit of doubt. Food is pretty average for what it is; carnitas we're cooked decently and the breakfast burrito is actually really solid. In the past we've gotten rolled tacos and California burritos- pretty standard and hits the spot. However, the guacamole is thin and almost watery- so certain aspects can be a miss for sure. Food itself is closer to a 3-star rating. The reason for the 1-star is frankly the customer service. The cashier seemed miserable and irritable when we went in this morning for breakfast. She seemed annoyed when we asked for an extra side of rice and was overall unpleasant while we ordered. We've had her before and she had been rude when we simply asked where the bathroom was. While we were waiting for our food she was also playing on her phone with the volume so loud it could be heard over the restaurant speakers. When it was time to grab our food to take to-go she had handed us a platter with all our food on top of a to-go bag. Our friend who had a burrito to go had his food bagged when she handed it to him. I've never had to go food not handed to us already packed; that's why it's to-go. I'm not sure if she's just had a bad day but it's pretty hard to give the benefit of doubt when we've consistently had terrible costumer service. At this point the food isn't worth it. We've officially decided this was our last visit. read more

For people looking for incredible fast-food mexican, this is your taco shop. SO GOOD. We went a couple times. CA burrito, taquitos/rolled tacos, carne asada fries, and horchata are amazing. Potato taco was pretty disappointing though. As someone who loves potato, even I would say it was too much potato and just didn't feel correct compared to the many I have had in my life. Salsas also weren't good. Husband did not like them. I thought they were fine. Service is always kind and quick. read more

Food was a bit uneven, but giving an extra star for being open 24 hours. Came in around 10:30 pm after driving up to Oceanside from a Padres game. Got a shrimp a la diabla burrito which was amazing. The diabla sauce had me sweating, but was delicious. One kid got a chorizo breakfast burrito which was huge and delicious. Other got a quesadilla (pretty typical) and an order of fries which came out a bit limp. Not sure if that was bc the oil wasn't hot enough or the fries hadn't cooked long enough or both. My wife's carne asada plate was disappointing. Meat wasn't seasoned much and was already diced despite being pictured as a whole piece on the wall. Looked like there was a salsa bar during the day, but we came in too late to try. Would recommend for late night dining and will come back for shrimp a la diabla and breakfast burritos. read more

I got the breakfast burrito here the other day. Solid. Ham, egg, and potatoes. They didn't have avocados and suggested guacamole as a substitute. I declined. The burrito was big. 2 servings for sure, and I was hungry. The server was nice and helpful. The mexican music was a bit too loud but certainly gave the authentic mexican vibe, which I appreciated. read more

Diego's Mexican Food - Nachos supreme.... $17!!!!! Have never paid that much for nachos since now. But it wasn't too bad, hit the spot. - Mexican Near Me - Oceanside, California

not as clean as it has been in the past and the service is suffering for some unknown reason. Food is OK and 24 hr drive thru is nice but not sure they actually have the staff for everyday 24 hrs. like the sign says. I offered to loan them my power washer and the lady turned around and ignored me. TACO BELL here I come. Yes they can be rude but when you don't care, you don't give a S%&t. I just left without eating. read more

I ordered the #1, a beef taco & tostada combo. The tostada was fantastic, and although the taco was skimpy and pretty bland, the customer service more than made up for it. Will definitely be returning! read more

They have a new loyal customer I specified an allergy, and they made sure i knew they noticed and labeled everything. It's all from scratch, fresh even in delivery. I asked for Pickled carrots and jalapeños if they had it and some salsa, they added that and more! Service 100, food 100! Flavor 100! Im super picky with my burritos, especially being in SD county, but they delivered!!! read more

I wanted to like it. Looks like an " old place". I thought it must be good. Nothing was good though/ not the beans , not the rice, not the shredded beef taco. Was served also, through the window with total indifference. That is also how the food was prepared, The most mediocre tacos I have had in this taco town! Take out only with a few tables in front. No one else here while I ate. Drive on by. Will not be back myself! So just not tasty or good. read more

This breakfast burrito is huge and delicious! Great for one hungry surfer or even two if you like to share... I ordered my breakfast burrito without ham and added jalapeños. With fresh made tortillas, and tasty-spicy house made salsa, they nailed it! I highly recommend.. (there were 10 police officers in the front devouring their orders when we pulled up. They don't even get discounts on their food and were swearing by it!!) Breakfast Burrito read more

Let me start off by saying food is good, your standard taco shop in SoCal typical food. The terrible service is why I'm giving this place one star... Literally the RUDEST employee I've ever come across- the woman with braces (late 40s) working in the drive thru should be FIRED! Absolute WORST attitude, disrespectful, lazy, and incompetent. I've lived in Oceanside for 20 years and have never met a more terrible employee. She got my order wrong, I pointed it out to her, she LIED saying that what I ordered was more expensive, then when I showed her the correct price on the menu she became irate and basically threw my change at me...which of course was incorrect change because she couldn't even do simple math, good thing she works the cash register and probably rips people off all day, cool... Just never eat here- don't give your business to fools, there are MANY Places serving the same food who have friendly, competent staff with better food read more

Would've gave five stars but I felt a bit robbed. Ordered 6 rolled tacos, that are apparently sold in 3. A plain quesadilla. No meat. No side. & a medium (that looked small) horchata, all for the price of $28.20. Now don't get me wrong, it was delicious but that price was ridiculous. read more

Just an FYI: I ordered a surf and turf burrito off the DoorDash app and it came as a wet burrito which was not what I expected or ordered, I expected a regular DRY burrito. I can not have red sauce and it was drenched in it. I wasn't able to eat OR enjoy the burrito I expected to receive. read more

Diego's Mexican Food - Mexican Near Me - Oceanside, California

I sometimes get breakfast burritos from this place here and there, when I'm running late for work and don't have time to grab something before hand. Burritos have always been average, but it's very close to my work so it's easy for me. Well today will be the last time I get food here. I got a breakfast burrito with everything, when I took a bite I got nothing but the taste of burnt food. The fries and bacon were completely burnt to charcoal. I mean who cooks this and then thinks it's okay to give it to the customer like that? I wanted to just suck it up and eat it but the burnt taste was way too overpowering. What a disappointment. read more

Best breakfast burrito I've had in a while. Mexican coffee also delicious. Would definitely come back.

40 min wait and wouldn't make our food, asked for a refund. Will not go back, do not eat here

Wish I could put less stars. There was a fucking tooth pick in the burrito I dashed for my gf. Usual it's the dashers that fuck up but how the hell and why the fuck is there a tooth pick inside the burrito? This is nasty unsanitary and highly unsafe. She bit into the tooth pick and it broke and stabbed her mouth I've called over 100 times to speak with them and never got through. read more
