The taxi driver recommended this taco place and I am happy that he did. This place smells amazing when you walk up to it. You are greeted with an amazing smell of grilled meats that smells so Smokey and good. The prices are fair and the amount of food that you get is ridiculous. I definitely ordered more than I could eat I had to give a taco away to some random guy. The flavors of the carne asada as Smokey and hickory wood kind of tasting and the meats quality was great also. The service is fast and efficient they also put my guacamole and salsa on the side for me.
Amazing tacos and mullitas. Unlike LA, they are not stingy with the meat portions and their corn tortillas seem larger, too. The carne asada and the Al pastor was equally delicious. Both very flavorful and cooked to perfection. 35 pesos ($2.20) for each taco and 120 pesos ($7.5) for each mullita. Price point was a little cheaper or more expensive than LA, depending where you are in LA, but in terms of the quality and portion, it was reasonable.
You have to come here if in rosarito Mx . Asada tacos with handmade tortillas you can't beat, super good taste on the asada meat and the best guac. Not going to be the most athletic place or clean but we came here twice the same day because it was so good: lots of locals and food flying out quick. I'm already craving it
Popped into El Paisano on a mid-Sunday morning (7/17/22). El Paisano is located on one of the main roads in Rosarito, Mexico. It's within walking distance from the beach. I highly suggest driving around until you find free street parking. I tried... + un taco de cabeza - very tender, but a bit fatty + un taco de pastor - it was alright. + taco de asada - the best of the three All tacos were 30 pesos each. They load them up with onions, cilantro, guacamole, and salsa if you like all of that. One of my kiddos had a cheese quesadilla. She enjoyed it for the most part. We shared a Fresca Sabor Toronja & orange Fanta to drink. Their ordering system is a bit wonky with orders written on strips of notepad. Some items are in one area, others in a different area. There is ample seating in the open air restaurant. The smoke from the grills might be overwhelming, but I didn't mind it. Other than that... no complaints especially since there is a free to use restroom on site.
Good tacos made fresh in front of you, while you wait. Open space to sit in, clean restrooms. One of many taqueria's pit stops to indulge in, especially after drink binging. But this one unlike the true taqueria (which is hardcore red meat, pork & lengua/etc) had fish option. If your vegetarian, you'll understand the frustration trying to find a taqueria to accommodate out here. Salsas where tasty and sodas in glass bottles, how good does it get? Luckily we ate fast & left right after a power outage during a storm - part of Rosarito was in the dark & they were closing shops to keep looters out. I would hate to eat in the dark :(
By far one of my favorite taco spots and a must visit whenever I drive into Mexico. The staff truly are sweethearts and make sure you're going to get quality food and that you're going to get it fast aha. I get the pastor tacos every time as they are my favorite, however I have noticed that the past couple times that I've gotten them they get more and more chewy which im personally not a fan of. But still they're so good that I eat them anyways. The asada is great every time, however i'm just not the biggest fan of asada anywhere. So, for me to like the asada multis says a lot. Their horchata is super fresh and definitely has that homemade taste which I am the biggest fan of. It comes in a bottle so I always make sure to order a couple to go for later. they also have a bunch of condoments such as jalapeños, cebolla, pepino and limes for you to take. I personally get a lot simply because they're a good pallet cleanser for the spice as the RED SALSA IS SPICY aha. Definitely check them out ! Parking can be tricky if its busy, but I usually pay for the $5 parking lot right next to them so I can walk around after without worrying.
First time trying El Paisano. I've been a creature of habit for the last 30 years so I ventured out to this new taco stand. The carne asada and al pastor were delicious but the al pastor is their shinning star! We came back an hour later and had an al pastor Mulitas. OMG, the decadence! There's a competitor I've been going to for 30 years. It's time to buy there al pastor and do a taco taste off with El Paisano to determine who is the best (in my book). That will be the next trip taco run.

This taco place was great! We originally had our hearts set on Tacos El Yaqui, but they were closed...for weeks! This place popped up on yelp and we are glad to have picked this place as a back up. We prefer flour tortillas, which wasn't an option for tacos, so we decided on pastor burritos. The portions of meat were very generous, which caused the burritos to completely fall apart, but who's really to complain about that. read more

We came down here for New Year's eve and saw that it was popping at 1am and knew we had to try it. The lines were long but went by fairly quick. Make sure you order at the right counter and take your ticket to the right booth for pick up. If you know this then you won't be waiting as long because there will be less of a learning curve in this taco eating class. :) I love that they have handmade tortillas. Everything just tastes better when it's homemade. When I say homemade I mean they are pounding them out right as you order them. The meat is tasty but pretty greasy which is why they get a 4-star. The flavors are there and they surely make me grin from ear to ear just by thinking about going back but the grease is just so notable. I'm sure there are some people who wouldn't even dare because of this fact. read more

" Tacos, Tacos, Tacos ! " My wife and I visited Rosarito Mexico last week and as we were walking around shopping, we were getting a little hungry. We looked across the street and saw Tacos El Paisano. The smell coming from the this open air taco restaurant was awesome. This very causal restaurant features all varieties of different Mexican tacos cooked fresh right in front of you. From Carne Asada, Pork, many varieties of Fish and Tacos de Cabeza tacos, they all are delicious ! It's really nice to be able to walk around and watch and talk with the chefs, as they cook and then dress the individual Tacos you ordered. They use topping of onions, cilantro , pico de gallo, guacamole, and salsa for your tacos. And the good part is that the Tacos are only $1.00 each. After receiving your tacos your can purchase a drink and sit down on their picnic table bench type seating to enjoy your meal. If you are looking for a tasty snack in Rosarito Mexico, stop by Tacos El Paisano you will not be disappointed ! read more

Good place to eat and good prices as well. Stop with family and had the pastor tacos and a torta. The service was good and fast. Tacos were $16.00 pesos each. Average price for the area. You have the choice to pay with us currency but it comes out to be more expensive. Always try to exchange for pesos if possible. read more
