    These guys really let me down. First time ordering from them and when I opened the box after I left? I mean, look at the picture attached...... it's sloppy as hell, I ordered 3 chicken tacos and they gave me fish (what if I was allergic?), they charged me $15 for tennis ball sized tortillas with the ingredients just thrown all over the top of them sloppily. Then when I brought it back inside and addressed the issue.... the cashier, line cook, and manager all just stood there and said nothing. Pathetic and shameful to say the least. Would not recommend to anyone who wants a decent sized portion of food for their moneys worth.

    I returned here for the first time in several years and was impressed by how delicious their tacos still are. Truly the best tacos in town! The staff is friendly, the establishment is clean, and the food is fantastic. I highly recommend them if you're craving tacos, especially since not all nearby places are as tasty.

    The tacos are always just right!! Carne asada, birria & Adobada are sooooo delicious!!! Huge selection of Salsas. Pure GOLD!!

    I'm a fan! I wanted some quick tacos before our Airbnb check-in and I looked on Yelp and found this little gem. The reviews are spot on, this place is very good! I'm from Oxnard and we think we have some of the best Mexican food but the San Diego area has some pretty good Mexican food being that it's so close to Mexico. The place is small but nice and clean. They have a glass section where you can see them preparing the food as you wait. The guy at the register was very cool letting me know that if I purchased three tacos I could get rice and Ben's for free. I decided to go with three Al pastor tacos and I must say, these may have been the best Al pastor tacos I've ever had. They shaved the meat off the vertical broiler, so the meat was super tender and they added not chunks of pineapple but a nice size slice. The tamarind fresca was fresh and delicious as well. The food was prepared quick, had an authentic taste and you can always tell what type of place you are eating at by the type of people who come into the restaurant. They looked like locals that were getting to go orders and dining in. Overall, I WILL be back when in the area and I think it is a food chain so I'll give it a shot elsewhere too. OOOOO 5 out of 5 Afros

    California Burrito

    We were happy to find Los Tacos for a nice relaxing low-key casual dinner. Order at the counter and they bring your food to your table. Service was friendly and fast. Had high hopes for the guacamole, but found it underwhelming. Good selection of tacos to choose from. Loved the homemade tortillas, and the California Burrito was a highlight of ours. All in all, really enjoyed our visit!

    Asada and pastor tacos
    Nancee T.

    We went here for a quick bite and it did not disappoint. We got the California burrito, asada and pastor tacos and an asada Gordita. All were delicious. We loved how they put pico in their burrito and meat was not dry. The tacos were delicious and everything was steaming hot. The sauces were ok but it's ok since the food was delicious enough without sauces. It's a small little restaurant but they had a couple seatings outside which was nice. Staff were friendly as well!

    Really only two salsa containers per burrito??What kind of cheap taco shop is this where you're worried about giving away more than two salsa per person. If you guys are worried about that then you're in the wrong business. Also, you get charged more than the menu price when you get there and people are sweeping cleaning and don't wash their hands before they touch your food. Yuck. Way too many good burrito shops in this town to choose los tacos. This place is a rodeo clown show.

    Al Pastor Burrito
    Daniel L.

    I ordered the Al Pastor Burrito with everything. The Pastor was so delicious and fresh tasting. There was meat in every bite all the way down to the last bite. This might be the BEST PASTOR I've ever had. It was perfectly cooked with a pineapple on top while roasting. They freshly slice the Pastor to add it to my burrito. I watched them cut the meat after I placed the order. It was a Thursday evening and they said there was a special price on their Fish Tacos, so I ordered 4 of those beautifully made fried fish tacos. Everything was very delicious and priced affordably. I love their salsa bar, I should have taken a picture of it, but there were descriptions of each salsa so there wasn't any guessing on what I was getting. All the salsas were very good, one with a Smokey taste had some heat and went well with everything. I think my favorite salsa was the guacamole salsa. Mmmmm I can't wait to go back again!! The service was amazing, they were all very friendly and made sure we were taken care of. We were asked if we enjoyed the food which tells me they care about the quality they produce. I'll be back!

    My second time here and was just as good as the first time. Went for Taco Tuesday which is $2.00 per taco. They have options such as carne asada, pollo, el pastor and carnitas. The proteins are so flavorful! They have an amazing variety of salsas too (about 6 or so!) and the crunch spicy carrots are perfect. The restaurant is small inside about 3 full size booths, a couple tables and a few outdoor seating. The service was fast and the staff is friendly! Ample parking in the parking lot too. I ordered alot and couldn't finish it. Will be back again.

    You must love a family-owned shop that pours its heart into creating an excellent experience for Carlsbad patrons. Meet Armando (the Owner)

    You gotta love a family-owned shop that pours their heart and soul into creating an excellent experience. There's absolutely no higher quality Mexican food in North County. This place is supremely clean! The salsa bar is unmatched. There's absolutely no place that offers the diversity of flavors and freshness of the salsa bar. I absolutely adore the fajita bowl. I double up on the meat. I dialed down the rice. It's all protein all the time. The flavor profiles are top-notch. My kids absolutely love the shop, and they have a great selection of beer, to include Burgeon Brewing Company. I am so grateful for this establishment in our community. It's the kind of shop that makes your properties mildly more valuable.

    DELICIOUS. I will come back!

    Food: variety of tacos! DELICIOUS, Fresh! Ambiance: Great seating options- indoor and outdoor. Limited, but good ambiance. Pricing: Reasonable and cheaper than other locations around Oceanside/Vista Highly recommend!!

    Hit the spot! Huge servings. Great flavor. Sweet servers. Plenty of parking. Will be back when I'm in the area

    Taco Pastor Carne Asada Carnitas Pollo Asado Al Pastor
    Marcus N.

    The best taco here was for sure the Al pastor I would come back for that taco. The service here was also amazing and the workers were very nice. The only thing was the carnitas and the pollo tasted very bland. They were cooked perfectly but had no flavor whatsoever. The salsas were very good I will say however.

    Tasty street tacos

    I tried calling and no one answered and I also tried messaging them on social media. Curious if they are open and if so do they do curbside pickup?

    This location is closed until Saturday for repair but our Marron rd location a couple of miles away is open and has curbside. Sorry for the inconvenience

I've been going since they were limited to their Miramar location. Having been to all of their locations at this point they're all very beautiful. We end up visiting the Carlsbad location the most, as it's the most convenient location on our way up and down from LA. Perfect place to get some food around the area and have a drink before picking up a case to take home. They have a great and varied selection of beers for everyone. I'm a big IPA fan so I tend to lean towards their Diamond Dust as my favorite from their core line. Their specialty releases and collabs are always a hit. Their beers are all uniquely flavored, you can really taste the different elements to their offerings If it's your first time, their flight deals are a great way to try all of their selections. Feel free to ask the staff on recommendations as well. This location has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and very clean. It's the perfect place to grab a drink and take some to-go as well. Excellent vibes all around Definitely one of my favorite breweries!

They have the best molcajete and fajitas around, at the best prices. We are here just to see if Cocina Del Mar is better. Long story short: it's not. However, their ceviche is AMAZING. Best ceviche I have had in north county San Diego outside of Dija Mara (which has the best ceviche in the known universe). It is extremely fresh and not overpowered by acidity, fishy smells or rubbery shrimp. The ceviche here is legit. Great. AND ONLY $10 (for cameron). If you order anything here, get the ceviche first. I'm anxious to try their aguachile now. We also ordered the fajitas ("suprema" with chicken, steak and shrimp). Fajitas did not come out sizzling at all. I have never seen this before. Also, there were only two shrimp. The steak/carne was bland and dry. Not great. Wife ordered the Sopes (3) and mother ordered the Enchiladas Cameron. The sopes were okay, but a bit bland. Wife had to salt everything on the plate. The enchiladas had a sauce my mom said was too sweet. She wasn't a fan. For all three dishes to be a miss is completely strange considering the sheer number of 5-star reviews. I want to believe. We must have come on an off-day, but the place was busy. Quite a few larger parties were here, so this place is popular with the natives. We also grabbed a Model and a Corona. Only $5 for the beers! Total for everything came to $117.64 (with tip). I would absolutely come back for the ceviche and to give them another shot by trying a different dish. I snapped pics of the menu so you can see the latest prices. Check it out.
