This place is CASH ONLY, so be ready to have cash on hand. They have an ATM right at the window just in case. My wife sent me a reel on Instagram saying how this is the best rolled tacos in San Diego. We went here on a Thursday evening around 6:30pm and there was nobody here except for the drive thru, so there's not much of an ambience. Sitting outside is kinda loud because of the cars driving by, but that's it. We ordered the 5 rolled tacos (especial) and a beef taco. We ate it there since there was plenty of seating (outside only, there's no inside). Our order came in 5 minutes, but you could still tell everything was made fresh. The crunch was so good and it never got soggy. Overall, I agree that these are the best rolled tacos in San Diego. Just guac, sour cream and cheese. I'd easily come back. read more

I stopped by Los Taquitos Taco Shop during breakfast. I had the "breakfast" burrito for $10.99 plus tax, which comes with eggs, ham, cheese, and fries, but I axed the fries. If they were regular potatoes, I would have kept them. You can get a simple ham and eggs breakfast burrito for $9.99 plus tax as well. They offer good prices for their breakfast burritos. The burrito was pretty good. They put a lot of savory ham in the burrito. The eggs were a little over cooked and had browning all around them. The burrito came with a decent amount of cheese in them. They use a good quality flour tortilla, but they need to definitely wrap the burrito better so that it does not open up. They should also put it on the hot griddle, at the very least on the fold, so that it firms up the burrito. I had the burrito with the red hot sauce and it was good. It had good heat and good flavor. The hospitality was friendly enough and It was a little challenging to get a smile out of the lady behind the counter, but I eventually got one. The place has no thrills and is pretty straight forward. They offer outside seating only. read more

$11.20 for the best Rolled Tacos aka "La Especial" in San Diego. I stopped by Los Taquitos in Chula Vista today for lunch and ordered my favorite rolled tacos. They are the crispiest and crunchiest rolled tacos I've ever tasted. I ordered 5, and they come with sour cream, a ton of REAL guacamole, and shredded cheese. The meat is seasoned well, and they put a good amount in each taco. They also included 3 small red salsas, which pair perfectly with the rolled tacos. They are spicy and have a hint of garlic. These tacos hit the spot! I've been coming here for about 35 years, and the menu is still the same, and so is the food. It's located along 3rd Avenue and Zenith. They have a drive-thru and only take cash. If using the drive-thru, it's best to enter from 3rd Avenue. There is an ATM on the front side of the taco shop. There are tables with umbrellas where you can sit and enjoy your food. There is also plenty of parking. The service is quick; I only waited about 8 minutes from start to finish. Try this place next time you are craving rolled tacos. If you're a roll taco fan, they are worth a trip. read more

Where has Los Taquitos been all my life?! Came here on Easter for a quick bite and there were already customers in line/waiting for their food (all good signs!). Ordered the 5 rolled beef tacos to-go and was impressed by how flavorful the beef & how crunchy the fried tortilla was--all without being oily or skimping out on filling/ guac & cheese toppings. 10/10 rating! read more

I'd heard good things about Los Taquitos so I decided to try it out and it did not disappoint. I went through their drive-thru and ordered their 5 rolled tacos. I was pleasantly surprised it came with both guacamole and sour cream. The crunch was very present and pleasant. The taste was very good - probably the best rolled tacos I've had so far in San Diego. Thinking I wouldn't get full I also ordered a fish taco. The fish taco was good but not great but it did hit the spot and I left Los Taquitos very content. This place will definitely be in the rotation and I will for sure try their different offerings. read more

This place is a classic!!!!! Been coming here since the rolled taco special was $2.50. Starving in my 20s we would dig for change. Oh the memories, but I just had to stop and shout this place out. These are the crispiest, crunchest, rolled tacos in San Diego. Salsa is just as good cant get any better than the OG rolled taco spot. Burrito was huge for sure you get your money's worth. read more

I've been coming here for over 30 years! With that said I can honestly say they aren't the best. But why I do and still come here are for 2 reasons. It's for their rolled tacos and hamburgers (not life changing but solid) They're just a nostalgic thing for me that I still enjoy! read more

Seeing them on IG all over for "best rolled tacos." Ordered 10, $24. Cash only. Came home and saw that it's missing the sourcream. Called them, confirmed that yes it's supposed to have sourcream and that they forgot. How am I supposed to enjoy this without sourcream? Not going to drive back 20 minutes to get sourcream. Overhyped, over priced rolled taco 3/5. read more

Heard on social media that this spot had the best rolled tacos in Chula... turns out that was cap. The tacos were crispy and stuffed, I'll give them that, but flavor was missing. Guac-sour cream combo wasn't hitting and was begging for some pico de gallo to wake it up. Salsa was mid, cash-only setup with an ATM guarding the entrance like a bouncer, and outside seating only. Honestly, this is more of a 2 AM with the homies after a night out type spot not a let's go back again destination. Service was friendly though! read more

Quick 24/7 stop that always hits the spot. Really love the hardshell beef tacos and rolled. They aren't super greasy and topped with fresh lettuce cheese and tomato. read more

My family is from Chula Vista but as most Mexican families do, we eat Mexican food at home. However, this spot has been here forever and is known for their rolled tacos and having a drive thru. I shared a 5 rolled tacos especial with a friend and, though the beef was delicious and tender and the taco itself was extra crispy, the salsas and guacamole lacked flavor. The sour cream was also fluffy like it was whipped, loved that. The menu is huge so I'll need to try more things but for being known for taquitos we were not living the rolled tacos. Food comes out fast, lots of parking and seating. read more

If you're a millennial, this place is probably not your place. More of a nostalgic experience for us older people. Same quality of food, same employees, same salsa recipe for 30+ years. Nothing has changed except the prices! Cash only! ATM's available read more

Tacos were crunchy and tasty. Even the California burrito was pretty good. Would definitely come again. Make sure to bring cash.

So I'm going to give this place three and a half Stars I couldn't do it on the thing so it says 4 stars drove about 10 miles to get here, I wanted to try it out because I saw a tick tock video about it that my brother sent me. It was a little far to drive but hey got too try, I ordered the five roll tacos I didn't get sour cream on it because I'm not a big sour cream fan on that but the guacamole and cheese definitely. So I have a place near me called Humberto's which has some really great roll tacos the thing I can say about these roll tacos is they stayed crisp I mean really crisp kind of unusual how crispy they stayed with all the guac and cheese on it usually they kind of soggy up. I love the crisp throughout the five little tacos now the negatives the guacamole was different it wasn't like crushed avocado with the works in it it seemed like avocado and cream so is a little different the cheese was the not the finely shred cheese which I like better the Taquito tasted good was it the best Taquito in San Diego I'm sorry to say no I'm still out looking for that right now as far as crispiness they win, flavored I got to go with Humberto's but if you're ever in the area definitely give it a try well worth it. read more

Can't seem to get orders right. I ordered carne asada burritos, but they gave me carnitas instead. When I asked them to fix it, they just shrugged their shoulders and argued with me, even after another employee confirmed that I had ordered carne asada. Very disappointing customer service. I won't be ordering from here again. read more

I order here once in a blue moon just out of nostalgia. This place has been here forever and I always and only order the rolled taquitos. Are they the best? No. Do they fill my tummy and fix a craving--yes. Can't go wrong--order of five taquitos with guacamole--no cheese for me, please. A few containers of the green salsa and I'm set. No frills, no hassle, no guessing what to get. read more

This place offers drive-through as well as a walk up window to say that the taquitos had the craziest amount of flavor is an understatement. I was surprised and I didn't expect it to be this good. It definitely got a wow factor from me. Nice crisp crunch to the taquito a lot of flavor with the toppings it was really good. This place is cash only so come prepared next time. I'm gonna try their crunchy taco to see how it lines up with the taquitos really good spot. It's an unfortunate thing that I didn't post a picture but I will next time so good. read more

I haven't been here in years and I have no idea why!! Food was delicious some of the best "taco shop" food I've had in a long time!! They still give you food in paper bag and person tells you what's in every bag amazing!! Service was great it take time but it's a taco shop not a fast food place so no big deal. Thankfully no long line at drive thru. Menu is classic and food was delicious. Roll tacos were everything I remembered and the carnitas were so delicious!! read more

The best rolled tacos on earth. They really are that good. Cool place too. Love the outdoor seating.

Went for first time and got 5 rolled tacos........ solid/ very good and simple. That's all one ask for, to taste the meat inside (which you do here cause most other spots it's just a super tight rolled tortilla.) cheese, gauc, and sour cream ratios are ideal. Will be back. read more

I read such good reviews and was excited to try the rolled tacos. The rolled tacos themselves were crispy but the meat was tasteless and a little mushy. They put the lettuce on first then the cheese so you didn't get that melted cheese on the tacos. I also tried the refried beans. They were a bit bland and I only ate one bite. Super friendly service and food was cooked to order, the lettuce was crisp and fresh, the guacamole I luckily had on the side and it wasn't really my favorite, like a green mousse. I'm sad my experience wasn't so great and doubt I'll go back. read more

Saw a viral TikTok about this place, we were visiting and we were hungry in the middle of the night so we decided to try it. Definitely not worth the hype at all. Beans were cold, rice was cold, torta was soggy and not that flavorful, taquitos were not flavorful either, the fries were decent cut but needed seasoning, best thing was the chicken burrito but even that wasn't the best. We won't be back, but the staff was very friendly. read more

I waited in line for them to take my exact order, only for me to get to the window and then tell me that they're washing their machines.. They should have just told me that they weren't taking any orders at the moment instead of agreeing? . Waste of time and inconsiderate when I was informed, shut the window real quick on me read more

So dissapointed & annoyed. Went to buy carne asada fries that I was really craving, paid about $16 dollars for them, they use the crinkle cut fries (which I hate) & were soggy... worst part is there was NO FLAVOR. It had good toppings but that all goes to waste when they use those kinds of fries because they're can't hold seasoning well like the smaller fries. Food was SO bland. I tried adding salt & pepper but it just made it worst. Could only taste the over powering flavor of the bland crinkle fries. Don't waste your money, I ended up having to throw them all away. read more

They're good for their rolled but that's it anything else you order it's just mediocre and they don't take debit card. You have to use the ATM machine for cash and the charge is $3.75. I ordered a carne asada burrito and it had lettuce in it, which I thought was odd , I also ordered an enchilada combo and the enchilada was cold and the yellow cheese was shredded and just thrown thrown on there, and I had to reheat I thought it would be at least average price or less being that they're a drive-through and only take cash, but it ended up costing me the same as going to one of these higher end places, so my suggestion is go there for the rolled tacos and that's it and make sure you have cash ahead of time read more

How have I not known about this place living in Chula Vista majority of my life? Of course I had to try the rolled tacos!! Definitely on my top 3 for the best rolled tacos in SD. It gives you just the right amount of crunch and also very moist in the inside. Sometimes rolled tacos could get very dry, but not here! Came here late at night and there was only one person ahead of us. The lady taking my order was really nice! Received food in a timely matter. read more

Very bad experience today! ‍ I have been coming to this taco shop going on 32 years. I just had an incident that happened to me that I wouldn't want any other customer to go through. I ordered my food and got home. I noticed my roll tacos had no sour cream and a lil bit of cheese. I called the taco shop since I was 8min away and talked to a worker there by the name of Ester. She said sorry and that if I wanted to, I can come back and pick up the sour cream they for got to put on my roll tacos. She said, if I couldn't stop by today, I can go another day and pick up the sour cream. I was like really, all I wanted was to go back for them to make me fresh ones with everything it normally comes with as they should have. So, she wanted me to drive 8min, put some miles and waist gas and my time to drive all the way back to the taco shop, roll tacos basically soggy by the time I get there just to pick up sour cream. Hahahhaha I did not want free food, just wanted my order done right for the price they charging now days. Anyways, she started getting loud and rude over the phone so, I don't recommend this place at all to anyone! Go to Señor Panchos next door, food is fire and that they are not rude at all. 32 years down the drain just like that. We use to come here all the time for big orders... The vibe was bad as well, don't know why? All I know, people I know ain't going back there anymore and these are people that would go 1-3 times a week. Hope the owners see this cause she did not care if the owners knew what was going on from what she told me. ‍ 32 years down the drain... I'll take my business somewhere else. No stars at all for this place but they are making me ad a star just to process this. ‍ lol read more

Love this place! Not all of the menu is good, but what's good is great! I been eating here since the rolled taco special was $1.99. You gotta know what to order or you'll be disappointed... my go-tos are Rolled Tacos, bean and cheese burrito w/ sour cream, adobada burrito w/ lots of limes, crunchy tacos and ham breakfast burrito add sour cream and cheese no eggs. That's it... everything else is eh. read more

I got the carne asada that has crinkle cut fries and the Jumbo burger with jamon. There were some reviews with bad experiences here but my boyfriend and I had a decent experience ordering and got these massive sized food for a pretty reasonable price. We shared both and finished the burger but the fries were only halfway in and both of us could not finish it anymore so it can be saved for the next day. It does get soggy yes but I airfry it maybe flip the top to the bottom to get those bottom soggy ones and you should be good to go. Definitely coming back tbh and see if anything changes. We ordered from an order gentleman who was pretty chill at around 10pm so maybe that's a good time to order haha. read more

Los Taquitos Taco Shop - Carne Asada fries and Jumbo burger with jamon, lettuce, lettuce and two patties. - Mexican Near Me - Chula Vista, California

Best taquitos in town! However, they just bumped the price up by 20% and still cash only.

Not all taco shop are the same and this place is proof. I ordered a California burrito. It was 90% fries, 5% carne asada, and 5% cheese. The fries tasted off, like they were cooked long long time ago and bacteria taste was clearly present, I tried to mask the flavor with their hot sauce, but their hot sauce was terrible in that it was flavorless. This place is also cash only, kinda sus. If you are in Chula Vista there are plenty of better option. My advice is to steer clear of this place. read more

This is probably the best Taco Shop in San Diego hands down in my Opinion . Their Rolled Tacos and Beef Tacos are the Best with no competition . I have been going here since a young Child. It is Cash only which makes it an inconvenience, however it will be definitely worth it to draw out money from the ATM to order what I believe in opinion is the best Taco shop in San Diego. Rolled Tacos are extremely tasty, crispy and everything you would want in a rolled taco from tenderness to crispness. Do not fail to order their double cheeseburger for your kids if you are looking to satisfy them while you indulge on their delicious Tacos and burritos. Their Red Salsa is outstanding and has stood the test of time as they have been in business for decades. read more

I hadn't been here in a couple of years, and while the food was good in the past, my recent visit was disappointing. I had the breakfast burrito and it was the worst I've had--it was 98% potatoes, 1.5% eggs and 0.5% meat. What a letdown and never going here again! read more

I was charged for guac $1.89 and sour cream $1.49 that I requested to add to my breakfast burrito. As soon as I bit into it I could tell it was dry but kept eating it hoping it would be in the middle, but nothing! I called immediately to the taco shop and the girl told me to bring the burrito for refund. I asked if I could take a pic because I was still going to eat it and she said no I had to take her the burrito even tho I only wanted a refund for the guacamole and sour cream that was NOT on my burrito!!! The beans in the bean burritos that we ordered were runny. It should not have been an issue since I have my receipt and I wasn't asking for a full refund. Very disappointed. Have been coming here for years. Might just go next door to Señor Panchos next time! read more
