    Yummmmmmmmm. Oh my goodness the enchilada tacos are absolutely incredible. I love Mexican food. I'm half Latin and grew up with the real stuff, and I've learned to appreciate the various styles and cultural influences of Mexican cuisine. In other words, I don't tend to think any of it is ever bad, but instead, I take it as it is, and reflect on where/what that particular dish was inspired from. The food here, is not typical. It's amazingly good. If I hadn't tried this, but had heard how good it was, I would say I need to add this to my bucket list. Enchilada tacos are just that good. The place is self is a charming shack of a restaurant with only a few tables. I think that adds to the experience. It's a simple shack in a parking lot with absolutely phenomenal food. This is a must if you visit Rosarito.

    I found the best tacos in Rosarito!! Found this little gem on Yelp and came here immediately. Super easy to find, the staff is super friendly and following COVID protocols. I can't wait to come back. Outdoor seating, the weather is perfect. Now this is a little hole in the wall, but I mean hole in the walls usually have the best food. The shrimp is so fresh. The pollo, the asada ... I just can't get enough. I couldn't even finish the tacos..so I took them to-go. Wow!!! Like I don't even wanna leave. All the reviews said these are the best tacos and they are not lying!! If you are ever in Baja or Rosarito please give them a try. You won't be disappointed. I just need to add again.... THESE ARE THE BEST TACOS in Rosarito

    Al Pastor Torta

    Myself and my group of friends stopped here one morning after seeing YG at Rosarito Papas & Beer! This place was soooo goood!!!! The torta with Al pastor is something I'd go back for! The tacos were also really good!

    This place is about a mile or so north of the hotel zone next to a large gas station. It reminds me how the road used to be heading down to Baja 35 years or so ago, with random taco stands here and there serving up the best to be had. El Sabroso is like this, but is quite a permanent fixture. There is bar type seating, inside tables, and outside ones. It really is all pretty much outside though. They deliver the tacos to your table, along with a large molcajete full of wonderful red salsa. The fillings are ample, and the prices are cheap by any standard. We tried the pastor and shrimp tacos. The pastor, or adobada, was delicious with nice crispy bits and lots of guac. The shrimp tacos need their own description, as they really are different. First off, I went there for their fried fish baja tacos. This day they had no fried fish or shrimp. Quite bummed out about that, I reduce a star! Take that! Now here is this shrimp taco. They take a corn tortilla, a full sized one, put it on the grill, cover it with some cheese, top that with another tortilla, top that with cheese and large shrimp in a spicy red sauce, and add some crema to that. What you end up with is a crispy bottom shell, so you can eat it like a tostada, and a softer upper one. You can still fold the whole thing, but it crackles in protest. These things shouldn't work together, but they do. The taco is impressively tasty and surprising. I'm still sad about not having a decent baja fish taco in Baja, but I won't forget this dingy roadside dive making by tastebuds very happy. I did bring a few giant breakfast burritos back to the house for my kids, and they loved those. Cheap cheap cheap, and quite good. Venture out of the hotel zone and pop in here for some good food and live music. Yes, they had a pair of pop up guitar players singing while we ate.

    By far the best shrimp tacos in the Rosarito area. The food is delicious and there is a ton of variety to choose from including birria, quesadillas, flautas, chimichangas, nachos, papas fritas, and many tacos. Most importantly, the service is great. It's owned by a couple with a great family that is there helping out. They're open every day so you can get delicious food whenever you want. This is one of the best taco shops in Rosarito so don't miss it when you're looking for your next meal. Por mucho, los mejores tacos de camarón en la zona de Rosarito. La comida es deliciosa y hay un montón de variedad para elegir, incluyendo la birria, quesadillas, flautas, flautas, nachos, papas fritas, y muchos tacos. Lo más importante, el servicio es excelente. Es propiedad de una pareja con una gran familia que está allí ayudando. Están abiertos todos los días para que pueda obtener una deliciosa comida en cualquier momento. Esta es una de las mejores taquerías en Rosarito, así que no te lo pierdas cuando usted está buscando para su próxima comida.

    Yelp keeps asking me to review it, Gladly!…read more I can imagine this place was one of those who used to be "a hole in the wall" that executed well and has garnered so much following along the way. the service is simple and efficient. the MEATS are well seasoned! We had the carne asada burritos, so good! My kids actually requested me to buy some meat from them to make some carne quesadilla for breakfast. This place will definitely be a pit stop every time we're in Rosarito.

    When in Baja this is a family tradition to feast on when fulfilling our street taco cravings. They…read moreare known for their tacos but sell it all. By far with some of the most reasonable prices to the size and portions. I usually start with a tip for the taquero before I order. We indulged in carne asada (6) this time with 1 suadero, 1 cabesa and 1 adobado also known as al pastor The winner most definitely was the carne asada. With the winner, winner being the quesataco asada. They add cilantro, onions, guacamole and your chile of choice. We always opt for the HOTTER option they call the birria chile which is a darker red color. They bring you slices of limes, cucumbers and radishes. Parking is right in front with a security guiding traffic. They are open super late and have two on the main road. We often prefer the one closer to all the night life and action because it's larger. They recently remodeled their bathrooms so they are CLEAN and usable. Yay!
