    Quesadilla birria
    Patrick W.

    This taco truck has some pretty great tasting birria food Must come get tacos on Tuesday and recommend the quesabirria tacos, birria quesadilla, and more. The birria is so tasty and juicy and meat very satisfying and cheese was good gluten do wish more was in the tacos. The qusadilla was pretty big and very filling big birria flavors definitely recommend them but all the taco flavors are great and good choices here with friendly service and was quick. Yes it's a great choice for tacos and has spots to sit in group of tables or est in the car. I love to stop by when the taco truck comes behind best buy at the parknride by mira mesa and 15fw.

    Pretty good al pastor tacos. The deal on them on Tuesday absolutely makes it worth it. They are very nice with their service and the set up is cozy.

    Al Pastor tacos!

    Great place to grab some tacos on the weekend. We have been here twice so far. Very good customer service. The location is a little hidden though. They park in the lot next to the Best Buy. Right next to the Goodwill donation area. The tacos are very tasty. A little skimpy on the meat, but the flavor is there for sure. I like the little pieces of pineapple on every Al pastor taco. The trompo is right by the window and you can see them cut the meat off. First time trying a gringa. It's basically an open quesadilla with meat. We've seen them on the menu at alot of places in the Yucatan tourist areas but never tried one until now. The quesadilla was cooked face down to get a cheese crust. Then they top with meat, onions/cilantro, and pineapple pieces. It was delicious! There are salsa bottles at the tables. The white one is a garlic crema and the red one is the regular salsa. They go really well together on the food. Horchata and Jamaica for drinks. Self service. The Jamaica is pretty good. We didn't try the Horchata. Overall, this place is pretty good.

    Gringa Taco

    Do you want to know why I appreciate this taco truck? Because they enjoy feeding everyone. The taco truck is only here on Saturdays and Sundays, and I believe it is in Poway on other days. The owners and staff are really wonderful! I really value how attentive they are. I've come here several times, and one time they noticed I was cold and moved the space heater to my table. Another time, they noticed me spilling taco juice all over the place and offered me extra napkins without asking. These small gestures of kindness are becoming increasingly scarce in the world. The Gringa tacos are my favorite item to order. It's enormous, delicious, and fulfilling. According to legend, there was a Gringa who requested a flour tortilla with meat and cheese every day. That's all. That's what they told me, haha. I thought, "That sounds like me, but I'm not a Gringa."

    Probably the best tacos in mira mesa! It's a shame it's only here friday through sunday. I love their street tacos and they also do fries really well. My favorite meat here is the beef belly!! The birria is solid as well but is only offered on certain days. I find the al pastor to be a hit or miss - sometimes it's flavorful and sometimes it's more bland! As for the sauces, the white one is really good. I also like the orangey/red one because it offers a kick. Definitely recommend giving this place a shot!

    This food truck is an absolute hidden gem tucked behind the Best Buy at Mira Mesa. The service is quick and the prices are so affordable. The tacos are absolutely packed with flavor and I loved the Gringa, which was gigantic and loaded with al pastor!

    Pastor taco

    Soooo glad they're in Poway every Wednesday now. They're located behind UVAS (used to be Mission Cellars Winery) off Midland Rd in Old Poway. Their pastor tacos and asada tacos are delicious! Great customer service too. Their salsas are great and vinegar garlic sauce is bomb! Can't wait for next Wednesday!

    adobada tacos
    Bella C.

    $1.50 adobada tacos on taco Tuesdays :D I've been ordering mine to-go and they give you a plate wrapped in tin foil. I was pleasantly surprised at how flavorful the meat and sauces are. They add some pineapple pieces on top too. For only $1.50, it's super cheap and super delicious :) Give this place a try!

    Delicious tacos!

The Carne Asada Taco has a smoky beef flavor, and the quesadilla with corn tortilla has that seared cheese effect that you can only get with Oaxaca cheese, which is like a Mexican Mozzarella. I highly recommend pairing a quesadilla with your tacos. You can order it from any line. I've been going to Tacos El Gordo for almost 25 years now and it is still legit! This place is a San Diego staple that is true to home, and if you're not from San Diego, don't leave without trying it out!

The tacos were around $4 which is pretty average but I thought their tacos were a bit bigger than average and had a good amount of meat. I usually can do two bites at other taco places but I have to take three bites here lol. The cabeza tacos were so tender and the carne asada tacos had a nice smoking taste to them. I also like how they came with a good amount of guac and you can also get a side or extra guac if you want more which was very nice of them. The plain quesadillas are simple but something about it was taste soo good, might be the cheese that they use and their handmade tortilla. I'm not too fan of their ordering system as there are around 5-7 different lines depending on what item/meat you want. If you want carne asada, you have to line up and then you have to line up at another line if you want another type of meat. Some lines are longer than others so I feel like my food gets cold by the time I get my second order and then I have to line up to pay. Both times I came, I came around 10-11pm and they ran out of the green sauce. They have a parking lot in the back so I prefer this location than the one at gaslamp.

But I didn't realize that just about every dish was based on birria. But okay. I love a good, flavorful birria taco. I guess I just didn't order right. I grabbed the Mikes Meal Special, but I was really craving some nice crunchy, cheesy and Jalapeno-hot Nachos. So I thought I would try a half-order of Mike's Nachos. Man! They were horrible. The huge pile of shredded beef tasted okay, but the red gravy got all of the chips that it came into contact with really soggy and unpleasant to eat. Maybe it would have been better if I had eaten it in the restaurant, but it should not have degraded that quickly. And to claim to be Nachos? Why? What was Nacho about this messy, uninteresting dish? The only suggestion of cheese that I got was one stray pipe of yellow processed cheese that could have been mustard for all that I know. There were NO Jalapenos whatsoever. The guacamole was just one spoonful plopped down in the middle of the order. There was really nothing red hot about the food at all. So the sour cream just made it taste incredibly bland. My advice? Always go with as authentic to real Mexican food as you can find. If you really want "Gringo Sonora," I would heartily recommend Del Taco over this restaurant.

The cashier said that the small water bottles were $3.90 each. (Something I missed the first time around) We left without the water bottles to walk blocks in the heat with a weird taste in my mouth from the fish burrito. The prices were the same as a nicer place with decor and air conditioning.

It's no secret that San Diego has tacos in…read morespades and being so close to the border, you'd think that a quest to find the perfect taco would be as simple as rolling down to the nearest taqueria. Except, it's not quite that simple. Many beloved staples have gone downhill, while some newer spots that might boast things like a Michelin mention or multiple locations ranging from TJ to Vegas contain more hype and gristle than tender meat and substance. Enter Chula Tacos. Chula is, and always was, the type of place that makes you forget that you're not actually in Tijuana. While part of me misses their OG Market Street location, seeing them with brick-and-mortars feels hard-earned and well-deserved. This location on Palm in IB is relatively easy to access from the freeway, but parking can be tricky. You can safely assume that it will be busy and you will either have to be very lucky or be willing to find a spot on the street. Out of all the times I've been here, it's always been crowded enough that I've never been able to find a table inside, but I enjoy sitting out on the patio next to the ahumederos. The first thing that hits you walking through the door is how amazing everything smells. The queue to the cashier takes you near a window showing the kitchen where you can see the Chula Tacos team making fresh tortillas, slicing meat from the trompos, grilling up jalapenos, nopales, onions, labio, and tripa. For me, it's not so much a challenge to decide what I want, it's more a challenge to keep myself from ordering everything. My usual is four tacos: two asada, two al pastor (but I've heard that I should also try their world famous keka). The tacos though? Perfection. Every time, the asada is the juiciest and most tender I've ever eaten, the al pastor is succulent and flavorful, and no taco in front of me is long for the world. At $3.50 each, every one of them is absolutely loaded. Three would honestly fill me up, but I always want four. After getting burned by spots that ask around 75% more and deliver anywhere between 25-50% less, Chula Tacos feels like an absolute godsend of a Tijuana-style taqueria and I can't see any other contenders being my go-to. So, when I say "Tacos will fix me," what I mean nowadays is "Chula Tacos will fix me."

The highlight of the menu is the Keka Taco. It is incredibly delicious, loaded with flavor, and so filling that it can easily satisfy even the biggest appetite. The only downside to this establishment is the limited parking, which can make picking up your order a bit challenging during busy times. However, the amazing food and generous portions more than make up for the parking inconvenience. If you're in the area, the Keka Taco is a must-try!

I picked a place off Google but when we landed there we were not comfortable stopping to park, so we looked again and decided to check out La Puerta not realizing it was in the Gaslight District. I am not a fan of the Gaslight District, which is why I am so mad!! I'm going to HAVE to go back to the Gaslight District!! The food was AMAZING!! I HIGHLY recommend the Potato Flautitas. It's the kind of dish I'm going to dream about, I'm salivating now just thinking about them. I also did the Pick 3 Street Tacos (and actually ordered a 4th). The Ranchero Shrimp and Grilled Veggie were top notch. The Conchinita was recommended by our waiter, and it was interesting, tasty but different. It could have used a little more pickled onion. The only one I would not recommend (shockingly, I thought it would be the easy pass) was the carne asada. It was too greasy. My husband ordered a carne asada quesadilla and said the same, it was too wet and soaked through the tortilla. But there were no many other delightful options, I would say just don't go traditional. But honestly my favorite thing on the plate was the side dish rajas con crema, seriously, that alone is going to drag me down to the Gaslight District. I'm even considering going to a Padres game just for the excuse. I'm salivating again! As for our waiter, Colin, he was fantastic. Very informative, made great suggestions and seemed genuinely pleased by our satisfaction. He was smiling the whole time, friendly and stayed very present. I highly recommend you get yourself through the door at La Puerta and sit down for a meal ASAP. (We ate the food so fast I forgot to take pictures.)
