I am partial to Juanita's, which is usually across the street, but the woman who is usually here actually speaks some English (so I can communicate with her a little), which can help if you're as language-impaired a whitey as me. Her tamales tend to be very generous with the meat and other (non-masa) fillings, and they also are always sloppily wrapped, so they kind of fall apart. If you want a more photogenic tamale, go elsewhere. But if your attitude says it all just looks messy once it hits the stomach, then you'll be happy enough.

I had a couple of griddle fish tacos or "a la plancha" for about $2.50 each if I remember correctly. The fried fish tacos are much less at about $1.50 each. I had the tacos with everything and they were pretty good.They came on a quality thick corn tortilla which kept them from falling apart and they tasted good. The fish was tender to the touch and tasty. I thought the amount of fish was just right for these tacos. All the rest of the ingredients; the shredded cabbage, diced tomatoes, onions, and cilantro were fresh. The sauces that came on the tacos were good but a little heavy handed. I appreciate the flavor of the fish the most, so I don't like it when a lot of sauce mask's its flavor. The man running the truck, along with a lady inside cooking up the eats were both nice. They put tables out and a shaded area next to the truck.

We were starving when we arrived to town. Thank gosh for the nice weather or we would be roasting in the sun. There was about 4 orders ahead of us. It wasn't too long of a wait. The girl at the window was really nice. We ordered the following for our late lunch: Note: Tacos comes with "Everything: Onions, Cilantro & Guacamole" 01. 5-Tacos Pollo (Chicken) w/ everything $2.25 - 4 Stars - Big chunks of chicken and seasoned, the tortillas was so good. 02. 4-Tacos Asada (Beef) $2.40 - 5 Stars - Perfectly seared and juicy cuts of beef. One of my FAVE meats on their menu. 03. 2-Adobada (Spicy Pork) $2.25 - 3 Stars - Our least fave meat from them. I prefer other Al Pastors from other restaurants. I think it was just the taste and "bright red" color of the meat that threw me off. The taste was mild. You might like it, it's one of their popular meats. 04. Vampiro (Mix of Adobada/Asada) $2.45 - 4 Stars - The Tortilla was grilled to a crispy shell and layered on the bottom, meat mix in the middle, a thin layer of crispy cheese and then another crispy shell on top. This was good. Order it if you love a crunchy taco. 05. Quesataco (Mix of Adobada/Asada) $8.50 - 5 Stars - Okay, this was a cheese-based crisp that looked like a tortilla. Realized it was KETO friendly since it's only made with Cheese. The stuff it with the 2 meat mix with the works (Onions, Cilantro, Guacamole). Delicious and so BIG! Definitely a shared item if you order tacos too. 06. Mr. Adobada Fries (Small $8.50/Large $13.50) - 4 Stars - This was so HUGE, we didn't need to order the Large. It came with the Asada (tons of it) on the huge tray of skinny fries, topped with Cheese, Guacamole and Sour Cream. This feed 7 of us. The small size would've been PLENTY. If you like your Asada on the charred side, just ask them to grill your Asada a bit longer. You'll love it more charred! VERDICT: MUST TRY if you are in the area. Everything is amazing except my heart just couldn't flex for their Adobada. Try everything on the menu! Ask for their FREE Beans, Grilled Onions & Jalapenos!!! CUSTOMER SERVICE: Nice staff, everyone had gloves and masks on. LOCATION: They are literally sharing a parking lots with an actual Taco/Mexican restaurant. Mr. Adobada's customers can use the restaurant's restroom (plus if you needed one). Their "RED" truck is parked on H Street, you'll see them from the street. PARKING: Always packed but you can park in the surrounding plazas to the left and right of their locations. Parking in the back as well.

The place is small and quant, and I think the owner might be the sole employee. Either way, the food has arrived fast, and the owner is super cool. I wanted to give this place a nice review because first, it's the Adobado Tacos. Although they are not prepared with Rotisserie style meat cooked next to a flame, they still have the same T.J. street taco vibe big time. Super tasty and pretty fat too! Second, the place has a legit Mexican Food ambience. I have not been to T.J. in many years, but this place, with the Adobado Tacos, brings me back to "Avenida Revolución." It's just a little different from most other 'local' taco shops. This has now become one our favorite spots when we're wandering around downtown.

Just a heads up before you go, there is no seating. It's a standing-room-only setup with barrel tables throughout the outdoor space. You order from one of the trucks, find a place to stand, and enjoy your food. The atmosphere felt lively and authentic, making it part of the experience. Service: Service was quick and efficient despite the crowd. There was even someone helping direct parking, which made arriving and finding a spot much easier. Food: The complimentary consommé completely stole the show for me. It was rich, flavorful, and packed with chunks of seafood. Every bite had a deep, savory flavor with just the right amount of spice. It was honestly my favorite thing we tried. We ordered the Gobernador, the Negrita, and fish tacos. The Gobernador was loaded with shrimp and melted cheese, creating the perfect combination of rich, savory seafood flavor. The shrimp tasted incredibly fresh and was cooked perfectly. The Negrita was another standout, piled high with shrimp, sliced avocado, and topped with an oyster that added even more fresh ocean flavor. It was served with tostadas on the side, and every bite was packed with bold seasoning, fresh seafood, and great texture. The fish taco was good and made with fresh ingredients. My bf and I are big foodies and have eaten a lot of fish tacos over the years, so we're probably tougher critics than most. While it wasn't our favorite item of the meal, it was still enjoyable, and the Gobernador and Negrita were the clear standouts for us. While the prices are a little higher, the quality, freshness, and portion sizes help justify it. Overall, this was a great experience from start to finish. Between the flavorful seafood, and generous portions, it's definitely worth coming back again.

El Prieto (Main St, San Diego) Rating: 2.5 / 5 Stars…read more I really wanted to enjoy my visit to El Prieto, but unfortunately, the experience was a series of "almosts" that didn't quite land. Here is the breakdown of my recent meal: The Food The kitchen missed the mark on a few basics. My bistec ranchero was underwhelming; the sauce was overly "tomatoey," lacking the deep, savory complexity or spice you expect from a solid ranchero. To make matters worse, the rice served on the side was noticeably cold, which is always a disappointment. The Drinks The beverage situation was equally frustrating. I was surprised to find that the bar offers no wine options at all. I decided to pivot to an Arnold Palmer, which ended up being the worst version of the drink I've ever had--the proportions were completely off. Service & Atmosphere The service felt lacking throughout the night, with very little attention paid to the table. Most off-putting, however, is the policy stated on the menu: a 45-minute window to eat. It's hard to relax and enjoy a meal when you feel like you're being timed by the staff. Verdict Between the cold sides, a limited bar, and the rushed atmosphere created by the time limit, I can't say I'd be in a hurry to return. There are too many great spots in San Diego to settle for a 45-minute countdown.
