    Food was amazing Tacos and burritos today (next level) Service from the cooking department(unfortunately can use a lot of work) Thank you for the delicious food well prepared and the portions are a little out Control, but that's OK if The service with the register was really nice and very welcome Unfortunately, the interaction with the cook would definitely deter us from coming back. Like you and the register people are pretty much like the front line. No need to be so angry and bitter. All because we had told them to put the onions on the side. You're in the customer service business. You will come in contact with a lot of request in the kitchen and dealing with the . hope it was twisted bad day on your part which is understandable. We are all human. But just because the cook was having a bad day, we won't let that reflect the entire staff, which was really nice and kind. But we'd be more than happy to give it another shot hopefully the service in the preparation area I will definitely say the Horchata and their Jamaica are well-made, we definitely enjoyed their soft drinks

    WEEKEND POETRY SLAM: ODE TO FRIDA'S {*anticipatory silence*} {*clears throat*} One bite, I transcended. Heaven is the taco joint By the laundromat. Best tacos on Earth-- dog stole one, now he salsa dances in the street. Rush of muted voices, "ICE?" Nah, just the freezer hum-- Back to tacos, brah. Guac drops like green gold, taco whispers sweet nothings-- my ex never did. Hate tacos? Red flag. Probably microwaves toast. Unfriended for life. {*drops mic*} {*audience snaps uncontrollably*} Pro tip: Satisfying TJ-style street tacos, burritos, and aguas frescas served with ambience that's a little too TJ-authentic. The asada, al pastor, and carnitas versions are perfect, but hard no on the cabeza / cow's head bc I don't want the mad cow disease. {*drops imaginary mic*}

    Absolutely incredible experience. The tacos were next-level -- perfectly cooked meat, fresh cilantro and onions, and that creamy green salsa was unreal. Every bite was packed with flavor, especially the beef and carnitas. You can tell everything is made fresh and with care. The setup was classic and comfortable, the vibe felt authentic, and the salsa bar was stacked with options that actually bring heat and flavor, not just spice. The grilled onions and potatoes on the side were a perfect touch. Paired everything with an ice-cold Mexican Coke and an iced coffee, and it hit the spot perfectly. Portions were generous, prices were fair, and the food came out fast. If you're craving real, no-shortcuts Mexican food that delivers every single time, this place is a must. I'll 100% be back.

    When it comes to Taco tuesday, where else can you find authentic street tacos for less than $2.00? They're loaded with meat and salsa and guac and my favorites are the adobada, asada and carnitas. Any other day of the week I probably wouldn't come here as the regular prizes for the tacos are wild. That being said, I love all the other reviews who are upset for spending so much money. Its not that hard to look up prices beforehand lol. The service is ok and sometimes the salsa bar has old condiments in it. Overall, its a fun place to go on taco Tuesday and Ill definitely be coming back.

    Food not bad, it's great for when you want a TJ style taco in a hurry and can't drive over the boarder. The Vista location seems a little bit light on cleanliness, tables not clean, napkin holders have dried food on them, restrooms not prepped for the dinner crowd. I really like the decor and layout, music can be a little loud. I had a carne asada taco, pollo taco and chicharrón taco and not too bad. I may return.

    First time eating here. I came here on Friday thinking it would be a quick taco shop, but raised this was more of a sit down eatery. So we left. But this time, we were ready. I like the set up and I love that there is outside seating. Kind of reminds me of TJ Tacos, but pretty. We ordered a mango agua fresca, carnitas mulita, and 2 adobada tacos. Holy cow! The food was fire!! Got a little plate of roasted peppers, sliced radishes, and cooked onions. That alone could be a meal - it was so good. Got a little container of salsa but all the food we ate didn't need any salsa. Just took a bite of the food followed up with a bite of the pepper, and it was magical! The cold, tasy agua fresca hit the nail on the head, diminishing the heat from the pepper. I was very happy we decided to come here and we'll be back!

    My first time trying this was at the Oceanside sunset market and I was impressed, esp for food from a pop up booth to exceed expectations. I later tried the Vista location and everything tasted just as good as the first time I had it! They have a variety of aguas and variety of different taco, nacho, and burrito options. The portions are nicely sized with pricing that accurately reflects that. You order at the register and the kitchen is open concept so they make your food in front of you before grabbing a seat. We sat on the patio which was beautiful. On the way to the patio you'll find a full salsa bar that included my fav, pickled carrots. I tried the carne asada and pollo mulita's and quesa tacos...SO GOOD! My friend ordered nachos and those were really good because they also put a nacho queso sauce on there which sets them apart (in a good way) from traditional taquerias in the area. * unfortunately I was WAY too hungry so the phone did not eat first but I got a few pictures of the vibe before leaving

    Definitely worth visiting if you're craving street tacos! It's not as great as some of the spots closer to the border but will fill your street taco void if craving. Cashier was pretty lack luster... but seems typical nowadays it seems. You get a receipt and then give it to someone to build out your tacos. I love the open kitchen concept so you can see how it's all getting prepped. He was nice but I was super thrown off with the guac on the Al pastor (isn't a usual) but was happy to have the guac. He threw on some sautéed onions and peppers on my plate too. The onions were sooooo good and sweet. Carne Asada Tacos - Solid! Probably better than Tacos el Gordo's asada Al Pastor - this was what knocked down a star for me. Not sure if it was the meat or the guac but it was super saltyy. Wasn't the usual flavor profile I was used to. Overall the tortillas with the tacos were good. This was a nice a spacious restaurant. The offer a variety of items and drinks like the Agua Frescas. Will probably be back to try the fries. I saw them prepping another order and WOW it looked massive!!!!

    Cabeza taco with the works!

    Celebrated our mother's day here, because they were just doing regular brunch and not charging…read moreextreme prices. I made a reservation about 2 weeks out with no issue. Street parking only, but wasn't too hard to find a spot as we came early. The restaurant is very nice and looks new. There is two dining rooms one towards the front near the bar area, and another in the back. We sent in the front for brunch. The menu had a good variety of items, and we decided to go with the chilaquiles and the shrimp and grits. I love Shrimp and grits, and it's not too common on menu's so i has to try it. The dish had pork belly instead of bacon, and shrimp. THe texture of the grits was very good, not too runny or too thick. The shrimp seemed good quality and not chewy or rubbery. I really enjoyed the dish and would order it again. The chilaquiles were an interesting take, not at all what you're normal chilaquiles would be. They come with lamb but we substituted with chicken. They were covered with a type of hollandaise sauce and we both thought they were good. I also ordered a breakfast shot that had bourbon in it, and a piece of pork belly on the top, and a shot of orange juice. It was pretty strong and very good. I would definitely order this one again, and the piece of pork belly they added on top was perfect. I can't wait to go back to check out their happy hour, it looks like they have an awesome menu, and they even do it on the weekends.

    This is a Vista neighborhood spot in Vista Village and we've been meaning to go forever for a date…read morenight. When I tell you - this place had no business being THIS good. My husband and I were consistently blown away throughout the meal. We had a few cocktails (one was the verde) and all of them were exceptionally crafted, balanced and well priced. What really shocked us was how good the food was. These were chef driven dishes with phenomenal flavor profiles and execution. Genuinely was blown away by the charred broccoli and the cabbage dish. I would venture to say I preferred the broccoli dish here than to somewhere like Campfire. On that final note, I'll say we typically go to State street or Encinitas/Solana/Oceanside for our date nights but please, give this place a try. They were so so good! 10/10 from two vegetarians
