my search for the best taco spot in sd is finally over. im a big tacos el g hater and tj tacos blew…read morethem out of the park. tacos el g used to be good, don't get me wrong. but the quality went down, salsa tastes like water, meat is tough, dry, and chewy, and expensive. tj tacos did everything right. tacos were huge and full of meat. 10/10 no notes. we ordered adobada, carne asada, lengua, tripas, and cabeza tacos. everything was insane. adobada was juicy, flavorful, and addicting. my brother looooved their carne asada and he's picky with his tacos too! the smokiness and char from the grill gave it the absolute best flavor. it was also super tender and juicy. my lengua and cabeza were just perfect. cabeza wasn't too fatty like some places. i enjoyed how carne asada was paired with a fresh flour tortilla while the others came with corn. they had the best tortillas! i'm just a girl who loves salsa and i need them spicy. that's where a lot of tacos spots here fall short. their salsas, especially verde, were spicy and soooo good. i was so impressed! lots of seating inside and outside. you order first and pay after. don't forget to ask for grilled onions, jalapeños, and extra salsa. can't wait to come back for drive thru!

TJ Tacos was a disappointing experience. We ordered 12 tacos, and the total came out to almost $59,…read morewhich felt very expensive for what we received. The tacos had very little meat, and the portions were not satisfying. To make matters worse, our order only came with four hot sauces. When we politely asked for more hot sauce and extra napkins, the staff refused. We were also told that only one napkin was allowed per plate, which was surprising. Even other taco places, like Frida's, are much more accommodating. Overall, the food did not justify the price, and the customer service left a lot to be desired. Unfortunately, this was an unpleasant visit, and I won't be returning. I'll definitely be taking my business somewhere else in the future.

The place was really busy and I got my food super fast. It was probably about 5 o'clock. One thing that was really nice was the cashier.

Last time I was there probably six months the cashier wasn't very nice at all, but this girl was fantastic.

Came back to try the carne asada fries and got them to go…read more The place was crowded at noon on a Sunday afternoon with many of the tables being occupied. The fries were $17+ and the container looked a bit larger than most other nearby places. However when I got home and opened it, the size was irrelevant as everything in the container was swimming in sour cream. You can barely see anything else in the picture. Why would anyone want this much sour cream? Needless to say the fries were soggy and the whole thing tasted of sour cream even after I tried spooning it off as best I could. Sorry Ernes, you have lost me forever. There are too many other places nearby that don't make their carne asada fries look like a coconut cream pie.
