Stopped by for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. The tacos and burritos were both delicious, full of flavor, and made with generous portions. The prices are very reasonable. The only downside is that it's a pretty small restaurant, so seating is limited. If you don't mind a cozy space or grabbing your food to go, it's definitely worth checking out. I'll be back to try more of the menu.
We were looking for tacos in SD but since we were a long way from tacos el Gordo so I started looking online. We came across tik tok video and thought why don't we give this place a shot. Upon entering the cashier started talking to us about places in the area and things to do in PB she was so sweet and friendly. We got the carne asada, adobada and Cali tacos and omg it was bomb, first the asada taco had the char that you expect in a tj taco the adobada was juicy and tender and the Cali taco was amazing! This place is at par or even better than tacos el Gordo now we know were to go when in SD, We will def be coming back soon!
The menu is extremely limited, so make sure you want one of the things they offer before you go! With that being said, my fiancee and I came here after seeing the Taco Fiends review. We really wanted to try the torta and I was hoping to get some beans (which they didn't have so that was my fault). We got parking right in front and got some seats! There is a long bar out front with some stools, which is all of their seating. This is more of a grab and go taco stand that a restaurant, so also keep that in mind! We ordered a taco, mixed torta, and a California burrito. The staff were also super nice and the woman at the register was amazing! Super helpful and very kind. Cannot say enough nice things. We got our food and immediately noticed the size was hefty and it smelled delicious. My California burrito was so juicy and tender with so much flavor packed into the carne asada, I was in heaven. That cooked over charcoal fresh taste. The torta was also delicious and the adobada was so tender and flavorful. I think it is probably the best California burrito I have had in a long long time. My only complaint is the limited menu, but that's a personal preference. I also wasn't a huge fan of the red salsa, but the foods so good it really doesn't need it! So no loss. Will be back here to try a few more things on the menu or anytime I have a burrito hankering after the beach! Really enjoyed!
Diego's Street Tacos has set up shop in the North PB neighborhood right next door to another taqueria that specializes in seafood. Because this place offers meat as the protein, the two businesses don't have overlapping menus. Inside seating was limited to a countertop with several stools. A shared railing served as a countertop outside the respective entrances of both spots. Parking was all curbside in this area which can be difficult to find an open space. The menu screen displayed two to four choices across the food categories of tacos, burritos, mulitas, vampiros, tortas, quesadillas, and fries. What caught my eye was the Cali Taco. This is the first taqueria I have encountered in the SD area that served such an item. It's basically the ingredients of a Cali Burrito but placed inside a corn tortilla. I purchased that along with an Adobada Taco, an Asada Taco, and a Horchata Agua Fresca. The meats in all three tacos were pretty juicy. The star was the Cali Taco which cost $5.95 compared to $3.50 each for the Adobada and Asada. French fries, sour cream, guacamole, and two types of shredded cheese completely covered up the carne asada base. It was like eating a mini version of the well-known local burrito yet not as filling which was fine because I needed room to consume the other two tacos. The agua fresca was okay as the taste was a bit watered down. I gave a 4.5 star rating for my visit to Diego's Street Tacos.
Listen, I haven't really gone out of my way to make Yelp reviews in a while, but this place I had to stop. Middle bite just to tell you guys how good the adobada is here. I don't know if the photos do it Justice, but just by the color. These were the best adobada tacos I've ever had in my Life. Literally just come. Oh, and can't forget the Lady working in. Front was so sweet. She even gave me a free, chipotle sauce.
1 bonus star for the fresh tortilla, but overall below average at best tacos. Looked promising, seemed busy, and gave it a shot, but missed the mark imo.
YUM! Come prepared for a long wait for your food, but it's worth it. The adobada taco was delicious and the guac added a nice freshness, but the California Burrito was the star of the show. The carne asada was charred but still juicy and the fries inside kept their crisp which is so rare. Reasonable prices too.
been searching for a go to taco place since its hard to find a specific taste...best tacos ive ever had. the meat was sweet and salty with handmade tortillas, huge portions too so you're getting your moneys worth. cute little family owned and run shop with speedy service. please go here for mexican food, taste so authentic which is nice to see from most gentrified areas
Phenomenal. This is as good as tj and honestly the best mulita I have ever had. Incredible. If they opened at 11 I'm here twice a week every week. Not even a question
I was not a fan, neither me or my husband could finish our food and he eats anything! The flavor of the meat wasn't good! The service was amazing so if you want good conversation its a great place to go just bring food from the Taco stand i stead.
I stopped by here one evening and was happy to see they're open until 10 PM, which is always a plus. You order at the counter, and my food came out within just a few minutes. The tacos are very reasonably priced at around $3.50 each. Mine was loaded with protein and topped with a really tasty avocado sauce. It was good overall, though it could've used some seasoning. What really stood out was the staff. Everyone was so sweet and welcoming, and I genuinely enjoyed chatting with them. The service felt friendly and relaxed, not rushed. They also have seating options, with indoor tables and a small outdoor area with stools if you want to sit and eat. Overall, a solid stop with quick service, friendly staff, and great hours. I'd definitely come back.
We got a mixed torta and the carne asada vampiro. They were very generous with the portions considering the price. The torta was definitely the star of the show. I would make sure to check out the wait time sign by the cashier before ordering.
Wooooow! That was my 1st thought as I bit into the adobada taco . I'm usually a carne taco girl but I decided to step out of my usual today and I am so glad I did . It was honestly the best taco I might have ever had . So much freaking flavor and the amount of meat they give you is great. They do not skimp on meats that's for sure . The guacamole they put on top has great flavor and is smooth, not chunky at all. I'm about to head there again today because I just can't stop thinking about that adobada taco . My daughter got the carne California burrito and she said it was the best one she's had . The fries were crispy and I loved that, some other places put in soggy fries and yuck, that's gross . Diego's did the damn thing . My wife got carne fries( small order) and she also loved every bite of it . I bet that adobada would be great in the fries . This place is legit , for all of your taco needs !!!!

5/5 - great food and service is incredible! we found this place after watching the taco feind and i knew we had to go try. torta - 5/5, we usually order other items but the torta was definitely miles better than we imaged. vampiro - great, a little cheesy in my opinion but you can always modify it. read more
Diego does make some pretty good tacos. I had a pair of adobada tacos and they were quite tasty. I was certainly a fan of the house made corn tortillas. The adobada was tender and crispy and offered very good flavor. The tacos came with a very good amount of flavorful guacamole, chopped white onions and cilantro. I tried the red hot sauce with the tacos and it was very good. The hospitality was friendly. They offer some outside seating and some along the window inside. It's a small place, but they do make tasty tacos. Street parking. read more

This is, by far, the best spot I've been to for Mexican food. I've even driven 15 mins from the border to try and find the best Cali burrito and I can't believe the best one I've had is in La Jolla but I'm so glad it is. They ACTUALLY make the fries crispy!! Also, the mixed meat torta (it has asada and adobada) is definitely the best torta i've had and packs a punch in flavor. Definitely also get the chipotle crema and put in on EVERYTHING. The people working the restaurant are also super nice and welcoming! The lady working the front was so friendly and hooked it up with the salsas. 10/10 would highly recommend! read more

I've tried many places for mexican food in San Diego. This is my go to spot. Tacos are amazing. Highly recommend the california tacos. Their fries are always hot and crispy. Definitely recommend. Friend also said the place was one of the best. Service was nice and seating area was quiet. Will definitely be the spot to take my friends to. Shout out to the workers in the kitchen and Liliana in the front for working hard everyday!!! read more

The service was amazing and the atmosphere was so cute! Muchas gracias to the Morales Family for bringing their dream to life and sharing their love with the world through food! read more

Found Diego's Street Tacos while looking for real street-style Mexican food in San Diego, and it did not disappoint. I ordered the carne asada and al pastor tacos, and both were packed with flavor. The meat was well-seasoned, the tortillas were warm and fresh (handmade), and the salsa actually had depth instead of just heat (especially the red). You can tell this place puts care into the food. Service was friendly and fast, and the whole vibe feels like an authentic neighborhood taco spot rather than something mass-produced. It's not widely known yet, but it should be. If you're looking for solid Mexican street tacos in San Diego, this place is absolutely worth checking out! Parking is a bit tight, but the food is worth it. read more

The half order of adobada fries is the perfect size for one person. Great ratio of fries to meat. The yelp hours right now say 11 am on weekdays but the sign in front of their door is actually 10am week days. Would definitely come back read more
