We love stopping here on the way back from the desert. The chile relleno burrito is great.

Love love love this place! This is the best mom and pop Mexican food in alpine! Shout out to freddi and the girls upfront for always having the best customer service! If you're looking for a real authentic Mexican food shop this is the place to go in Alpine! read more

Favorite Mexican Food Shop since I was a kid !! Best Carne Asada fries in Alpine !!! The staff is so incredibly awesome !

Best Tacos in Alpine, If it's Tuesday I'm here. Any other day the prices are a little steep.

This is my favorite places to get a breakfast burrito! It's never been greasy and the flavor is outstanding!

It seems looks can be deceiving. I wasn't sure what to expect when I walked into Diego's taco shop. I ordered two fish tacos and they were amazing. I can't speak for anything else on the menu but order the fish tacos and you'll be good to go. Obviously the ambience did quite a bit to be desired, but hey. read more

This is one of my favorite places to go eat. In Alpine there's tons of food places but what I really like about Diego's is that they have a drive-through. Their salsa is really flavorful and their food is really good. My favorite is their sausage breakfast burrito. Nobody else has that in the flavor in it is so perfect!!! read more

The food there is so delicious!!! The cashiers are super nice and helpful. There is one cook that's usually there the whole week and he is the best cook. I always come here when I want a quick meal. read more

I am glad I stopped, this is a great taco shop and they are very busy. I have been here a couple times and have had every taco they make. I love it. Excellent street tacos! read more

Solid drive thru Mexican. My wife was giving me an ear full about it being connected to a gas station until she tried their rolled tacos, now she asks me to stop. Their chips are always fresh out of the fryer. Plus my son is a gluten free kid and they always make him a special meal. Thanks guys. read more

Expensive!!!!!! Not worth the $9 for rolled tacos and a "medium" (actually a small) soda. Courteous service and close to the freeway. Food was nothing special but good. read more

I have one word: "Yuk". I ordered the 12 rolled tacos. They were soggy begin with, and covered with a very bland guacamole, not at all seasoned. The white cheeses was good. The tacos were basically just rolled tortillas that tasted old or stale, There was very little meat in the taco, and if any meat was found on a rare occasion, it was not at all tasty and tasted old or very low quality. The salsa was bland, watered down and cheap...the worst I've tasted ever. Luckily, i was eating the "food" at home and had some salt and Pica Pio sauce. I will not go back. read more

We try to go here every week for 99c Taco Tuesday. You get your choice of shrimp, pork, or chicken. The tacos are bigger then you might expect for 99cents. The front desk guy is great. Friendly and patient. read more

I was pleased with food and service first two times after that service went down hill when u wait 20+++ mins and ur food aint ready one has to walk away- the guy at the register wash so pist i asked for my $$$ back he threw my money at me....how disrespectful--negative 5 stars i will take my business down the street to alpine taco shop!!! Proceed with caution!## read more

It's hard to imagine that one can find great Mexican food at a gas station. We ended up here because while traveling to San Diego from Phoenix we neglected to stop and get food in Indio. We had cranky kids and stopped at the first place with a drive thru. This was an amazing surprise. Being from Phoenix, we are very familiar with delicious, authentic Mexican food. I had the rolled tacos with guacamole and my husband had the carne asada burrito and the kids had a cheese crisp. Everything was so yummy. This will be our stop on the way in and out of town as long as San Diego is our destination. read more

Awful service, long wait times, got orders wrong for all four dine-in customers, and flies surrounding you and your food. You'd be doing yourself a favor by eating gasoline by the next door gas station, it's faster, will cost you less, and cleans your insides out just as much. read more

Checked out this place because it has drive through. Food is good but prices are a bit higher. Should be in the $$ range.

This doesn't even deserve 1 star in my opinion, i been around san diego eating different taco shop with reasonable prices and better quality food. This place soo expensive for a taco shop, not worth the money but I guess the owner thinks people here in alpine is dumb and dont know anything about any mexican food I mean its mexican food when did you ever seen a fancy taco shop? So I guess he decided to sucker alpine customer by charging them higher prices on mexican food read more

Only burrito place with a drive thru, which is nice sometimes. I love their Deigo's Breakfast Burrito (all veggie), but their bean&rice burrito is small and expensive. read more

ceviche tostada and tacos de tripas were both great.. shrimp cocktail is great too.. a little treasure hidden in a gas station! they have a drive thru and a small indoor seating area with a few tables. conveniently located just off I-8, made for a good pit stop on the way between the infernal desert hellhole where I was working and the paradise that is San Diego... and Alpine is the first place that feels somewhat civilized if you are coming from the Imperial Valley side.. read more

Diego's Taco Shop - tacos de tripas. excellent!! - Mexican Near Me - Alpine, California

Decided to hop off the freeway on my way home from work ( viejas) and im so glad I did! The shop is right off the exit and very convenient! My food was so fresh & delicious. The young man helping me was very courteous.my receipt says his name was Jesus, he was very polite. Price was fantastic. Highly reccomend this shop if youre hungry and want amazing food! read more

Chili Verde Burrito is best in town, hands down. Other food is good too, nice to have a drive-thru option here in Alpine. Come check this place out, especially if you're driving on the 8. read more

I ordered rolled tacos and they were really bad. They were flimsy, lacked meat, and old. The salsa was absolutely the worst, cheap and looked like orange Kool Aid that sits in a 5 gallon bucket where the drinks are at. Such a convenient place for bad food. Never again!!!!! read more

I dont understand why his place has bad Yelp reviews because they are great! They make bomb veggie burritos. Their fish tacos are 99 cents on tuesdays and they are delicious! They have ceviche and diablo shrimp. Their salsas are yummy and they have a convenient drive thru. Whats not to like!? read more

This place is the bomb. Always stop to and from phx for the California burrito. !! Mmmmmmmmm

Absolutely fantastic!! Great food and great service. It's all handmade and authentic.

For a small town Alpine has a disproportionally high number of Mexican eateries. This place has one major advantage over the others in that it has a drive thru. Ordered the chicken taco platter and the veggie burrito. Both tasted fresh and flavorful, preferred the veggie burrito however I've had better at other places in Alpine. read more

Found this gem of a taco shop while driving back to Phoenix. Food is solid, generous and well prepared; menu is extensive for such a small place. Each order is custom prepared - for the whiners who say this place is too slow or expensive, go to Taco Bell. read more

Thank goodness we stumbled upon this little jewel while getting gas at Shell station in Alpine. Diego's could be in a 5 star resort...it's that good. Can't believe the bad reviews except perhaps a competitor wrote them. Family owned...freshly made, authentic. We'll stop every time we drive to San Diego. read more

Eaten here before they always mess up only good thing is the drive thru. I'm a vegetarian asked for no meat guess who's order is full of Carne Asada read more

Diego's Taco Shop was our breakfast stop for much needed comfort food after another all night rager with the frat boys at mission beach. I had breakfast burrito with sausage, which was as large as my aching head. I asked for jalopenos; they didn't have them but made me custom fried serranos which really woke me up. Conveniently located at the Shell gas station in Alpine, this place is easy to find and worth it. read more

I used to like this place, but the quality of the food has gone down substantially the past few months. The eggs in a breakfast burrito are rubbery, the cheese is cold, and the meat in the California burrito is rancid. Im sad to say I won't be eating here anymore, too many good Mexican places in Alpine to bother with this place. read more

They used to make the best menudo in San Diego County, but the quality has declined. The last two visits have dropped them from their previous 5 star performance, and I doubt we will return. Two visits ago my wife and I got sick from the meat, and on the last visit the meat was not clean like it used to be. To top it off they raised the price, and there was not much meat in the menudo. We have tried the beef tacos and the rolled tacos, and both are just ok and over priced. We'll stick with manana's for Mexican food in Alpine. read more

pretty good but they need actual hot sauce. the hot sauce was as good as putting water on your food

There are some things here that suck (carne asada chips, rolled tacos) and some that are really good (albondigas, various burritos). Husband and I used to go here weekly but lately they've been messing up. It started with our soup being messed up and it has just grown worse and worse. Orders are given to the wrong people and food orders aren't correctly prepared. Im guessing it has something to do with he cook's kids working the drive thru and register. They used to have an adult working those positions but he is no longer there. Bring back Masin! read more

I just went there and never again I ordered a shrimp quesadilla and I wanted bean and rice on the side. They put the beans and rice inside the quesadilla and it was socky as hell and I order a side of sour cream and the sour cream was watery wtf. That's how you know the owner is cheap as fuck read more

The prices on the Yelp need to move from a $ to a $$ for 2 items and one of them being a quesadilla it was $13.31!!! To me that's outrageous! Not to mention that there was no one inside the restaurant and I waited in the drive thru for 20+ minutes!!! I was very disappointed and the food was NOT worth the wait! read more
