Service - awkward employees, no customer service, looked miserable. Tacos - dry, oh so salty, and tasted like old food, ate one of the four tacos we bought. Will not be back, can't believe how downhill this place has gone. read more

Went in and ordered a potato taco. There were vegan and vegetarian options on the menu. The staff were friendly. There was a live band playing on the patio area. This was as a Saturday afternoon. The taco was good as well as the green and red sauce. They were passing out samples of their homemade cookies. Very delicious. I would go back again to try the nachos. read more

My favorites here are the trinity and the Tijuana panther, both on flour and with the red salsa. I have tried some of their others variations but found those 2 to be the best. I think 2 is plenty for a lunch, but get 3 if you're really hungry. read more

Food was delicious and service was even better. The tortillas were soft, we even got some to bring home.

Super solid breakfast taco spot. My Fiancé and I are suckers for flour tortillas so we love how they make their own, fresh in-house. Let's not waste time, i'll rank each taco we got from our most to least favorite. 1. Don't mess with Texas - Fire. The beans have sooooo much flavor and went well with bacon, potatoes and cheddar. 2. Trinity - one of our faves. The harmony of the crispy potatoes, eggs and bacon was perfect. Tbh could be a tie between this one and the don't mess with texas. 3. Potato - Solid vegetarian option but if you want to add meat, you can do so for an extra charge. I highly recommend asking for the chili brisket to add. 4. Tijuana Panther- The brisket was very good but the meat ratio was a tad bit on the heavier side, needed a little more balance. Good nonetheless. 5. Guadalupe - Too much egg but i'd be willing to try it again if the egg : chorizo ratio was more balanced. Definitely needed more chorizo but I see the potential. 6. Blanco - Def our least favorite. Tasted pretty basic. Prolly wouldn't get again tbh unless we added the chili brisket of course lol. Get the queso with chips! I recommend dipping some of the tacos in the queso when you want to change things up. We honestly thought the salsas were kind of meh so we ended up using the queso more. Spicy Palomo margarita - Really good and strong. The small size got me pretty loose and my asian glow came out to party. Overall, we had an amazing first time visit. Shout out to Gilbert for putting my lady and I on some tips and for being hospitable. The staff were very friendly and we're looking forward to our next visit! read more

Lots of taco options! Something for everyone. These are not the typical tacos you find in the area. More Tex-Mex which is a nice change up. Love the chips and queso! The brisket is amazing as well! Always hard to choose a beverage - the cookie milk coffee 12/10, Paloma 10/10, and they have beer on draught in an ice-cold glass. Lots of seating indoors and outdoors. Order at the counter and find a seat. Staff will bring your food and get you anything else you need. Bathrooms are nice and clean. read more

My friends and I tried the trinity, brisket, Guadalupe, Emo's, and crispy potatoes with queso and honestly was pretty disappointed. The potatoes and the trinity tacos were EXTREMELY salty and almost inedible. On the other hand, even though the eggs were salty they were pretty well cooked and the queso was pretty good. It just seems like the entire batch of potatoes had way too much salt on it (both the taco potatoes and the separate order of potatoes were salty). The service was great though and the parking was pretty easy! read more

Came here on NYE's day, was very much excited for a Tex mex type of place. The menu looked fantastic and the concept is great. Walking in here with an expectation of getting Torchys (franchise in TX) sadly it was far from it. I would describe the tacos as flavorless and bland. Good for kids and people who don't like spice or flavors (if you get my drift.... lol) Queso was the best thing on the menu. Hopefully it was just a NYE day bad service day. We waited 40 mins for our food. Again great concept bad execution read more

This place is really good for breakfast and lunch. The potato taco was great for being vegan! I also really. Enjoyed the refills on the drinks. The queso cup was just enough for me and the hubby. The chips they give with it also makes it a good bargain. The flour tortillas are made fresh there and taste really good with the tacos I also love corn tortillas too with their tacos read more

I've been to Austin multiple times, I appreciate the Texan culture and the food influenced by Mexican culture. I went into HomeState with pretty high expectations. First impressions, solid. Great setup, impressive, clean spot and good vibes from staff. The drip coffee was... let's add cream and lots of sugar. But we're here for the food. We ordered all the breakfast tacos to get a handle on the breakfast taco offerings. All of the bean breakfast tacos were undistinguishable. Okay, fine. The Trinity... okay, Pecos... not bad, a bit greasy... Guadalupe... also meh. Both the green and red salsas were mild at best. We wished they offered more spicy salsa options. We also got Chips and Queso. The queso, while not that spicy, was tasty but the chips were SALTY AF. Crispy Potatoes + queso... SAME, papas were SALTLY AF, like, drink 40oz of aqua immediately after. I'm happy to have HomeState in Oceanside, maybe I'll go back and try other dishes but I know my wife won't. Some locals may lean towards this more 'subdued' style of 'Mexican'/TexMex food and maybe HomeState have found their sweet spot. read more

Found Homestate via local IG foodies. The place was spotless and the cashier friendly. There were several customers both inside and outside. Its dog friendly patio is why I ultimately chose to eat at Homestate. Tried 3 breakfast tacos all with Flour tortillas (Don't mess with Texas, Trinity & Guadalupe) All good and worth reordering however my favorite was the Trinity. Unfortunately I ate it last and after 20 minutes of sitting outside, the potatoes were cold. Of course this was 100% my fault but I could see why others might rate Homestate lower than 5 stars. It's a place to relax, enjoy the ocean breeze and vibe but not grab takeout and expect it to be a great meal later. I'll definitely return with my dog. read more

As a girl from Texas who now lives in Temecula I about cried when I stumbled upon this amazing place!! I've complained since the day we moved here 9 years ago that it's impossible to find queso and breakfast tacos in California! We are staying in Oceanside in Airbnb for a week and I think I will be here every day!! Briana there is one thing missing from your menu and the one other thing I always have to get when I visit family back in Austin, The Mexican Martini! read more

It was a fun spot, the service was great as was the food . And I will absolutely come back.... read more

They're not a spot for breakfast burritos or street tacos. They are, a spot for breakfast tacos with fresh tortillas though. I got a coffee, and their breakfast tacos and the freshly made tortillas and fresh ingredients were exceptional. I wish they had a more interesting or specific breakfast taco sauce to complement them. They do have surprises like an exceptional chocolate chip cookie and a very customer oriented person at the front counter. I'm glad I went in for a second try, and got to appreciate more of what they have to offer. read more

The South'O vibe is alive! Great food with lots of flavor, what's not there to like? The tacos are basically burritos.

I've been to this little spot a couple of times and it does not disappoint. The food is delicious and the prices are epic! Brisket and potato tacos are my fave. The outdoor patio is spacious and a great option when you have a group. And the whole staff is helpful and friendly. read more

While there food is decent, there service is terrible! Came here on a Friday morning and it wasn't busy. It took 20 minutes for our amigas to come out, which I don't understand why when there's way too many employees and working at snail pace. So many people standing around looking like they don't care to be there. The person taking the order doesn't even know what's on the menu nor was the person he asked very confident. We ordered amigas which is basically an egg scramble to go. After waiting way too long I asked if everything was in there, he replied yes. How do you expect to eat a scramble without a fork? The topper, I open my Togo container and it's just filled with oil! I've been here twice and the service gets worse, I will not be back. read more

Thank you for giving us Abuelitas Tortillas, Tejana Hospitality and love for the food and customers. A full knock out the park with this place. From the inside, to the patio to the food and vegetarian options! Home RUN! Had the pleasure of trying the Blanco & Trinity Tacos... Delish! Wash it down with a spicy Paloma. So good and look forward to returning for more. Star was the queso & chips! So good and cheesy. Dog friendly patio, amazing service and the price was affordable. Can't wait to return and try more of the menu! read more

HomeState is hands down the place to go for breakfast tacos in California. If you've been searching for an authentic taste of Texas in the Golden State, look no further--this spot delivers the real deal. HomeState manages to capture the heart and soul of South Texas, offering what I consider to be the best breakfast tacos you'll find anywhere outside of the Lone Star State. The breakfast tacos at HomeState are not just good--they're authentic. Each taco is crafted with a balance of simple yet bold flavors that are a staple of Tex-Mex cuisine. Their fluffy eggs, savory meats, fresh tortillas, and a touch of perfectly spiced salsa bring to life the iconic taste of a true Texas breakfast. Whether you go for the classic bacon and egg or venture into the rich, flavorful combinations like the "Trinity" (eggs, cheese, potatoes), each bite feels like a trip to a Texas taqueria. read more

Granted I did not see the salsa until I finished my tacos, the chicken taco was ok. The flavor itself was not a ton without the salsa, but the portion size was huge. Service through online ordering was smooth, and it looked like a nice interior. read more

The setting has a good vibe & the music was fun. The seats inside are as uncomfortable as it gets. They are all picnic type tables. The cheese sauce is good but pretty bland. The chicken tacos are mushy & lack flavor. The salsas were also a disappointment. The service was very kind. I really wanted to like this place but it is meh... read more

BREAKFAST TACOS 3/5 - NOTHING SPECIAL This place had a cute ambiance and had a little parking lot to the side which is shared with three other businesses. We ate on a Sunday morning around 900 am, I would get there early if you want a spot in the parking lot. The outdoor patio was pretty large and had plenty of seatings they require you to order first before getting a seat. The inside offered eating as well. The ordering process went well. The cashier was very nice and gave us a number when we were done so we could go find a seat. They bring your food out to you when it's rea The food was a 3/5. This is a texmex style food place with offers breakfast burritos on your choice of flour or corn tortilla. The portions are not large at all. I would not recommend coming here if you are super hungry unless you want to order 6-10 tacos starting at $5 each. The ingredients were really high quality as they serve vital farm eggs and they make their tortillas onsite which are available for purchase by the dozen. The tortilla was good, but overall the tacos were nothing special and unimpressive. They give you two types of salsa on the side to use as your wish but there was no taco that came with avocado or anything like that. If you really wanted to you could buy the tortillas, and make your own breakfast tacos at home. My husband got 3 tacos and it didn't make a dent, I got two tacos and will probably be satisfied for about an hour before I have to eat again. If you're an influencer looking for a cute spot or you just want a quick snack, this is for you! read more

Been wanting to try this spot for sometime, was wanting to try their breakfast tacos. Finally got a chance to go but actually opted for the salad with the tomatillo ranch. It was delicious!

We'd heard a lot about this place but unfortunately it didn't live up to our expectations. The food was OK but it's always a shame when you feel you need to slather your food in hot sauce for it to be flavorful. The picadillo taco was the worst of the bunch, bland (other than the pickles) and a mess. The brisket was flavorful (both in panthers and regular brisket) , and the chicken was somewhere in between (slightly dry and needed more seasoning). The trinity with its egg and bacon had lovely crunch from the bacon. We wished the guacamole had more acid (and the small size is indeed small but comes with a generous amount of chips) . Food about 3-4 stars, rounded down for the poor state of the bathroom despite it being midday and a hair we found in one of our tacos. read more

First timer here! Opted for the Blanco breakfast taco- Chino Valley Farms organic egg whites, shiitake mushrooms, and Monterey Jack cheese on a flour tortilla. Also, it's vegetarian! To drink I had the Iced Summer tea- organic peach green tea with mint lemonade. The taco was ok, it was a bit bland...it needed some spice or seasonings to add some flavor. They provided red and green salsas but they were a bit watered down and mild in flavor in my opinion. The iced summer tea was great on the other hand, it was ice cold, sweet yet tart and refreshing! I'll definitely come back again to try their other vegetarian items as well as some more Iced Summer tea! read more

Loved this place for lunch. Brisket and chicken tacos were delicious! The outdoor and indoor seating options were nice. Could actually have a conversation here. Service was good too. People wiped down the table, cleared the plates, cashier was friendly. Cooldown drink was good too. If come back. read more

So simple, and so well executed. Very casual place with a nice selection of tacos. Just love the local vibe of this place, especially when just sitting outside on a picnic table. Four great things: the fresh tortillas, chips and salsa, the yummy margaritas, and several types of breakfast tacos are available ALL DAY. During a two-week stay in the area, I went four times! read more

Picked up Tijuana Panther and Brisket Taco. Overall enjoyed the TJ panther more. They are somewhat small so this could get pricey if you want to be full. I also picked up the Hibiscus Limeade. It looks pretty but is essentially a limeade(lemonade type drink) and is more lime tasting than sweet. Up to you if that's your taste. read more

Yay! I'm so glad I gave this place another chance because everything was delicious (and I got my iced coffee this time which was killer!) The bag was not greasy at all, the tacos were fresh and warm which made me happy. This time I got the chorizo taco and added some beans and potatoes (delicious) and the pecos taco again with added beans. Simply delicious. I even doubled up on the cookies because they were amazing from last time. Look, sometimes places can either have off days or mishandling of food. Whatever the case, just give them another shot before you make any final decisions. The owner reached out to address my last order and I told her that I wanted to fairly judge the food on a different day and i'm happy I did. Great job :) read more

It's aw-ite. Good tacos, great tortillas. Mint tea was bomb. I guess I have to make this eighty five characters. Lol

Great tacos! Love the food and the service from Sage was great! She was friendly and helpful and went out of her way to make me and my wife feel welcome. The patio area is clean and a great place to take in Oceanside . Will definitely return. read more

This spot is a 10/10 for me. I can always appreciate a spot that produces high quality veggie options. The breakfast tacos and potato tacos are so good that i'll make the trek from north park to come get these and revolution coffee down the street! The interior is so cute too. read more

Huge fans of HomeState! So excited to finally have you in SD county. Always so freaking good. Breakfast tacos never disappoint.
