Organic ... clean... you know the deal... you can taste the difference immediately. No seed oils, no shortcuts. Just moved from Venice to Encinitas with the family... Already eaten here three times in one week. As someone who pays close attention to what fuels the body... this is the taco shop I'll be bringing my family back to on repeat. read more

Haggo's Organic Taco has a distinctive aesthetic and cultural vibe that will likely appeal to the community's health-conscious and free-spirited members. I appreciate many aspects of the restaurant, including its use of fresh produce and plant-based ingredients, as well as its overall focus on nutritional value. Quality ingredients and healthy eating are central to their mission. That said, I found the food itself somewhat lacking in the savory richness and depth of flavor that I personally look for in tacos. The sides were a good example of this. The beans tasted flat and somewhat undercooked to me, while the rice, although fully cooked, was quite dry. I ended up adding salsa to make it more enjoyable and easier to eat. The salsas also seemed to reflect the restaurant's "health halo" approach - fresh and wholesome, but missing some of the bold, comforting depth I typically expect. One exception was the hottest salsa on offer. Despite not being particularly spicy, it had a pleasant smoky flavor that helped it stand out from the rest. Baja Fish Taco Plate - 3/5. Overall, this was a solid dish. The mahi-mahi appeared to be high quality, and the two beer-battered fish tacos had a nicely crisp exterior. However, the fish itself was somewhat dry. As with the rest of the meal, the vegetables were fresh and vibrant, but the overall flavor profile felt restrained and a bit bland. It could have benefited from more richness and depth. Shrimp Diablo Taco Plate - 3/5. My impressions of the Shrimp Diablo Taco Plate were similar to those of the fish tacos. The shrimp were succulent and properly cooked, but the dish felt lean and lacked the richness that would have made it more satisfying. A touch more butter, sauce, or another source of fat could have added body and enhanced the overall flavor. While the ingredients were fresh and well-prepared, the dish ultimately fell short of delivering the comforting, savory experience I was hoping for. Healthy and organic food are not mutually exclusive; they can have bold, satisfying flavors too. The best versions of both can coexist on the same plate. Haggo's Organic Taco offers fresh, thoughtfully sourced food in a welcoming atmosphere, and diners who prioritize clean eating will likely find much to appreciate. My only wish is that the restaurant would pair its commitment to quality ingredients with a little more depth, richness, and comfort-food appeal. read more

Haggo's Organic Taco - Baja Fish Taco Plate - Tacos Near Me - Encinitas, California

I can tell you, I have tried this place several times due my wifes celiac and every single time is an absolute fail! We keep thinking they may have improved, or we went on the wrong day. This is the whitest "Mexican" food on the planet. The wonder bread of Mexican. Flavorless food every time!! Like NADA! I don't think they own any seasoning in the kitchen. Tacos: Baja fish - Flavorless, but presented well. Not enough cream sauce to be any sort of authentic. Not much going on here. Beef or Carne Asada- Not much flavor, fatty meat. Only flavor was fat. Chicken Taco with veggies- Flavorless, too much sweet potato. Gross. Grilled Fish Taco: Horrid! Absolutely disgusting. Zero flavor MUSHY fish and did I mention zero flavor? Awful. Cochinita: Pork tacos. Flavorless, dry pork, not a hint of any spices or juice, way too much guacamole. Not good but edible. Salsa- Also flavorless and no heat, even the hot one. $75 with 1 beer and 1 wine = SO NOT WORTH IT. This is for folks that have never been anywhere, never eaten real mexican food of real food in general, white people mexican. Not spicy and zero flavor and crazy expensive. Food should make you feel something, if it doesn't whats the point??? Sorry guys, this food is not good at all. If you want real flavor, you need to go elsewhere. Anywhere else. Never again, will never come back to this place. I tried but they fail every time. read more

Love this place! My fav is the nachos with steak (I love that they have a half-nacho option too). The tacos I've tried have all been great and my daughter loves the quesadilla. If you're in the mood for dessert, the churros are a nice treat. I love that they use organic ingredients, grass fed beef/wild caught fish, and no seed oils! I believe they fry with avocado oil. Service is generally good and quick, but we have waited up to 45 min before during a busy weekend visit. They're dog friendly (big patio dining area), and also have lots of fun activities for kids to help keep them entertained (coloring pages with crayons, games, animal figurines). Highly recommend this place if you're in the mood for Mexican food! read more

We just went to Haggo's last weekend for dinner and this place is just so, so good. The chips are delicious, the food is fresh and so flavorful and the portions are excellent! You have to love a place that really cares about sourcing quality proteins and ingredients - it totally comes through in flavor. I got a land and sea taco (steak and shrimp!) and the fish taco, both of which were excellent and piled high with tasty slaw. My husband got a burrito and the kids got taquitos and everyone inhaled everything. We love it here - the service is pretty quick too! read more

Wow first time I ate Mexican food and felt more energized post meal! Very clean ingredients. Will definitely be back

Vegan cardio heart healthy menu options! I like this place for its "all fresh organic and healthy" commitment. There are 2-3 vegan Taco options, including ones with sweet potato and mushroom. The 3rd option, a garden veggie with red beans, has sharp cheddar you just have to request a substitute the vegan cheddar. I tried two, both good, especially with a slice of avocado on top. The "Immortal" Mushroom grilled onion was fine as is, a good balance of flavors. I am not a fan of the pico de gallo "salsa cruda" on the 2nd taco, the sweet potato "Veronica" vegan taco as it was too spicy and overpowering for my sensitive palate. My original inclination was to order it without pico de gallo and cilantro, don't like either, but decided to try it as listed on the menu. I should've gone with my instinct and next time I will definitely order it without to enjoy it more. The kitchen is very flexible, willing to change menu items up to taste, substitutions and omissions welcome which means it's all made to order (vs pre-made). My fellow diners ordered the "Garden Vegetables taco" and said it was pretty good with it's zucchini and slightly salty red beans, and our third diner (a 50+ year SoCal burrito expert) tried a health-sized red bean and rice vegetarian burrito oozing with melted cheese and said "it was pretty good", so big he rewrapped the last half and took it to go. All the tacos are served soft-style corn tortillas, finger food, a little messy as things fall out but that's standard for taco. For salsa lovers, you'll be happy when they bring out the complimentary four bottles of fresh salsa, 1 mild red, 2 spicy reds and 1 green to kick up your meal a degree or three. No chance of bland or too mild food with these jugs of flavor additions available. The chips were just ok, standard; I was expecting more as the nachos came highly recommended. They were fresh: crunchy and low salt, but fried with avocado oil. I'd swap for air fryer corn tortillas, no salt, to make them even healthier like our home made ones. We didn't order them as we were they specifically for tacos, but the table next to us did. They were piled high with toppings, looked healthy (compared to heavy cheese doused stadium nachos) and smelled good. We went on a Sunday a bit after 12 noon, it was extremely busy with a line to order and all the tables (90% outdoors, only 2 inside) were full, it let up a little bit closer to 1 PM but still busy. Street parking available was a bit of a challenge. Dog friendly release a half a dozen people with dogs there. If you like local places on Highway 101 close to the beach, casual and friendly, this place fits. Nice staff took the time to answer my many questions about vegan and menu options.. They also have micro beers, but we aren't beer drinkers so we passed. It'd be nice if they had some other home brewed beverage option like root beer or non-carbonated lemonade, especially considering it's June middle of summer, but didn't see anything like that on menu. We like this place overall it's pretty good, (we prefer my homemade ones better) but still worth returning to. To improve maybe add guacamole (that I heard people at other tables raving about ) to the Vegan & Vegetarian tacos vs The fresh sliced avocado on top was nice, but it slid off, maybe the guac on top of the bottom filling would hold in the greens on top. I'd add a vegan protein like Tofu for a seasoned tofu crumble taco (which is a good substitute for ground meat), with black bean, roasted corn, diced tomatoes fresh chopped not spicy salsa. All in all a good meal, But I'd go back on a day it's less crowded for faster experience. read more

So so good. Ordered the ceviche and it was so much fresh fish ! We also had the grilled fish tacos, rice, and beans, and their homemade tortillas are out of this world! Big big flour tortillas! We are definitely returning read more

I reallllly wanted to love my burrito. I've been dying to come here forever and finally did for a breakfast burrito. Because the other breakfast burritos seemed lacking ingredients overall (like only eggs and pork for the pork burrito) I decided to order a Veggie Breakfast Burrito with no dairy and asked to add pork. Came out to over $20 bucks but that's what I expect for clean ingredients and to add meat! I always fear when ordering a veggie burrito that it's gonna be super greasy because sauteed veggies always seem to be that way (sadly) and I was right. This thick girl was insanely greasy and veggies were overcooked and overall lacked any sort of spices. With that being said, I LOVED the addition of gold potatoes, which added a touch of sweetness, and how much pork they gave me! On the OTHER hand, you'd get huge mouthfuls of just pork or just greasy veggies. I ended up picking out half the veg mix just cuz it didn't have much flavor. You can definitely tell the quality of ingredients, it just didn't hit like I wanted it to! Salsas were all delicious and sitting on the patio overlooking the 101 is gorgeous! Service was relatively slow considering there weren't many people here but I always expect slower service when I make substitutions to my order. I can't wait to come back and try more items because I know I'll love something else...just not so much this order! read more

Haggo's is a Leucadia staple and for good reason. Every time I drive by, the place is busy. I hadn't been back to Haggo's since it first opened years and years ago, so I stopped by on my lunch break and was not disappointed. The veggie burrito I got was one of the best burritos i've ever had - it had beans, cheese, rice, guac. Their spicy salsa is also to die for. Yes it might be a little more expensive than your average SD burrito, but making organic clean food that tastes phenomenal is well worth the price. I'll be dreaming of this burrito until I can have it next! Also, the restaurant is just such a vibe. You can't beat a coast highway location. read more

Haggo's Organic Taco is an organic Mexican restaurant. It is located just adjacent to Bump Coffee. We couldn't resist the aroma coming from their shop. The place was packed but clean and cozy.They have beach style interior decor. The staff were very nice. We got our order outside at one of Bump Coffee table since we ordered coffee Mojito from there. Their menu includes burritos, nachos, bowls salad plates, quesadillas, tacos , quinoa and more.They also have local craft beer. We got Shrimp burrito and came with tortilla chips. Their burrito was very juicy, tasty and flavorful. They brought four different condiments with our order. For sure, we will come back to try more of their delicious menu. read more

For someone who loves Mexican food but wants to be more health conscious, Haggo's is a perfect place to visit. I've been at least a dozen times. The menu seems friendly for any dietary restrictions and I've enjoyed the vegan taco (mushroom and quinoa) even as an omnivore. For the price, I think the portions are more than fair. We're kind of light eaters and usually order two tacos each, and when we split the chips and guac before our tacos there's more than enough. What brings that fifth star, at least for me, is how kid friendly this place is with its kids menu, coloring pages, and books. My kid crushes the fish and chips, which is generously portioned IMO. I've never had an issue with their service and the open air ambiance on the 101 is nice. For a casual restaurant you really can't ask for more. read more

Haggos absolutely crushed it. Had the steak & eggs plate this weekend and it was unreal, insanely flavorful while still feeling super clean and healthy. Everything is organic, the beef is grass fed, and they cook with avocado oil instead of all the nasty seed oils you find everywhere else. You can genuinely taste the quality. I feel like people don't realize they do breakfast on weekends because honestly it's one of the most slept on breakfast spots around. The staff is incredibly friendly, the atmosphere is super welcoming, and the owners are some of the coolest people ever. They make you feel right at home the second you walk in. Amazing food, amazing people, amazing vibe. Couldn't recommend this place more. read more

Tasty and a bit on the healthier side. Burritos default on a whole grain tortilla. Only annoying thing is that everything is so watery and drips everywhere. Micheladas were delicious. Crowded, but with quick turnover, didn't take too long to get a table. read more

This place, located right on PCH, screams SoCal, and Encinitas, in particular. The people watching, even the car watching, is terrific. Be prepared to wait in a long line to order. You can blame Guy Fieri for that. Then be prepared to wait for your food. We waited about 30 minutes, which is exactly what the cashier warned us. The food is good. The presentation is top notch. The prices are high but you are paying for the high rent and high quality. I liked my shrimp taco. The pastor taco, with little chunks of pineapple, was probably a little better. The shrimp burrito was not huge but it was very nice. With the two taco combo, you get chips and red beans. The chips are very good. The beans are fantastic. Really. With my taco combo, they gave me about six chips. Is there a chip shortage? Come on, guys. The salsas, and there are four types in squeeze bottles, are pretty good. The spicy one should be spicier. They make an excellent, freshly-made Michelada here. It's excellent. I liked but didn't love the food. I loved my Michelada and the beans. I loved the people and car watching. There you go. read more

I love the casual, open-&-airy location, especially sitting along the outside counter facing the street -- for fresh air and lots of people-watching! In addition, I love that they offer self-serve chilled ice water (it's these seemingly small details that elevate my enjoyment and experience)! For this first visit, I ordered a la carte: Cousteau Fish taco ($6.95) and Baja Fish taco ($6.95)-- both tacos were generously stuffed with fresh-tasting and colorful ingredients; the Baja fish taco was generous in size and its puffy, crispy, and satisfyingly crunchy texture was unique compared to other fried fish tacos I'd had. While orders are placed at the counter, the food is delivered to your table. I liked the staff's positive energy! Great find (however, heads-up, only 1 restroom)! read more

Visited for the first time today and HOW have I missed this spot?!? It was truly remarkable, from the variety of food offerings and beers available to the helpful and friendly staff. As a connoisseur of Mexican cuisine and lifelong Californian, this is the BEST dish I've ever had. The birria nachos are phenomenal. Each extraordinarily bite was a moment of pure joy and culinary happiness, and now you need to stay in business forever. Don't change a thing!! And visitors -- get there early because it fills up. We got there at opening and loved the people watching seating spaces. Local gem!! read more

Yall there is no need to get these tacos while in Southern California. There are better and cheaper options on every block. Don't be fooled because of how beautiful the tacos and employees are. The meat was dry and over cooked... even the Birria. The corn tortillas were hazardously thin, almost split on my pants. The tortillas had a nice chew. read more

Love this place. There was a line to order which gave us time to peruse the very big menu which had so many yummy looking options. It took a while for our food to come out but also gave us time to get seats at a communal table. The food was worth the wait I really enjoyed the leucadia, CA burrito with beef, sweet potato fries and other stuff. The Baja fish burrito good not great. There's 4 types of salsa, liked the hot smoky red salsa. Seating areas was indoor outdoor and very pleasant. I would definitely eat here again as there are other burritos I want to try. read more

no complaints! great quality ingredients and you can taste/feel it. usually places that use clean & organic ingredients and skip on seed oils don't have the best flavor, but this place is always on point. can be a little pricy, but you pay for what you get given the quality. the staff is always super friendly too! great place to stop by if you're in Leucadia read more

Very surprised that a whole wheat tortilla is a good as it is here. I got a fish burrito. It was between that and a Diablo shrimp, which also sounded great. Took a bit longer than most taco shops do, which is fine. This thing was loaded with cabbage and tomatoes, so it is a real good crunch. Unfortunately the fish wasn't super crunchy, which is fine, but I prefer a crunch. The bottom end of the burrito still gets that nice wet greasy tortilla flavor. Love it. The view is great, lots of flora, floating around. The price is up there, as is everything else except my wallet. They do have some N/A beers which is a plus and absolutely something I look for. read more

Ok, first of all... I'm a taco fiend, and came on a Tuesday craving some good old tacos. My friend highly recommended this spot cuz it's seed oil free and they use high quality ingredients like grass fed beef and wild caught fish. She told me to for sure ordered the taquitos and boy was she right, they did not disappoint! I was starving so I went for the pork burrito but that did not impress at all. The pork was dry. My partner got the grilled fish tacos and said it was okay and wouldn't order that again. Overall, everything tasted healthy but all lacked flavor, under seasoned and their salsas were bland. Ambiance is good, coastal and near nectarine grove, easy street parking and service was quick and friendly. You go up to the counter, they take your order and give you a number and you sit at a table and they bring your food right up to you. Honestly, that did not hit the spot so I'll probably not be again. read more

First time trying Haggo's Organic Taco and I'm so glad I did! I originally came just for the gluten free churros since my husband is highly sensitive to wheat, but I ended up adding carne asada fries to my online order because I got hungry haha. Let me just say, the gluten free churros were incredible! Honestly the best we've had in a very long time. Perfectly crispy, soft inside, and full of flavor. I don't think anyone can make them as good as Haggo's does. Totally worth the price and generous portion too. The carne asada fries were tasty overall, but I'd give them a 4 out of 5. The fries themselves were a bit dry, but still flavorful and satisfying. The staff were super nice and even let us sample all the salsas, and wow, every single one was delicious! Definitely coming back for those churros again read more

Being in San Diego always makes me think of two things. How fast can I get to the water and where can I get some tasty tacos?? Haggo's is serving up some delicious fresh food. They cook with organic, scratch made ingredients which includes grass fed beef and wild caught fish. They use avocado oil in their fryers and dressings for flavor and nutrition. I read a few reviews before coming here and knew I had to try it. I luckily got a spot on the street to park right out front. Parking can be a real challenge in this area as it is mixed residential with commercial. They have a small lot in back but it does not hold that many cars. I walked in and was greeted by a friendly person. Looking at the menu, I decided to go with Haggo's Special - Baja Fish Taco plate with chips and beans. I definitely made the right choice. The mahi mahi tacos were flavored with fire roasted crema, cabbage slaw, salsa crudo and cilantro. Pure yum! I always know that I can get the best Mexican food in this part of California and I go for it every time I am here. So many other options to sample such as Cousteau Fish Taco, Chicken Veggie Bowl, Wild Shrimp Taco, Azul Taco, Land and Sea Taco and the list goes on and on. Great patio dining while you feel the cool ocean breeze and the warm sun. I probably could have just sat there enjoying this feeling all afternoon. Take your Taco Tuesday up a notch and try out this fabulous spot. Your tummy will thank you! read more

Ordered the beef taco(no crema) and the pork breakfast taco. Both were really healthy and delicious, but the pork was super flavorful and was our favorite. Service was really friendly and they provided us a bunch of salsa dispensers at our table which was fun. read more

Ordered the fish plate for takeout and wasn't blown away. I felt it was expensive for what I received, which was a very small side salad, small side of beans, and some grilled fish. I tried a bite of fish burrito and it wasn't bad, but again it was very expensive. I'm willing to give it another try if made to come back with friends or something, but I'm not going to seek out returning when there are so many other solid Mexican options nearby and in San Diego in general. read more

We had dinner at Haggo's last night for my birthday and it was delicious! I had two of the vegan options (both equally yummy) and my husband had two fish tacos. He said the Baja taco was his favorite. The service was prompt and very friendly. We enjoyed sitting at the bar that overlooks the 101. World Cup was playing. It was festive but not too crowded. We left with a cute t-shirt! Thanks, Haggo's! read more

So far I have had the al pastor and Azul burritos. I got the al pastor as a bowl which was served with a massive amount of rice. Both of them were incredible! I asked for no mushrooms on the Azul and they were happy to accommodate. Yes it's on the pricier side, and yes it may not be authentic Mexican, but it is definitely delicious. I'm selective with what I order at places, and I don't think I'd ever order what other people seem to be complaining about (fish tacos) but I can confirm that those two burritos I had are excellent choices. Everyone is very friendly that works there, and the atmosphere is super chill. The only complaint I really have about the place is the wait time for your food, but that's to be expected because it's very popular. I think it's definitely worth the wait though. read more

my favorite tacos on the west coast! i eat here every july 3rd! a must when you are near encinitas!
