There are so many excellent taquerias in San Diego, and they all have their own great recipes for…read moreMexican food. I particularly enjoy the Adobada tacos from Chula Tacos because they serve a very generous portion of meat, guacamole and are very tasty. The first time I tried them was at their H Street restaurant in Chula Vista, but that location is temporarily closed. I decided to try their Palm Avenue location since I was in the area visiting family. The service was friendly, and the tacos were prepared very quickly. The restaurant was clean. I'm looking forward to the H Street location reopening since it is much closer to where I live. Happy Yelping :)

Sometimes, there are nights when only tacos can fix me. It's no secret that San Diego has tacos in…read morespades and being so close to the border, you'd think that a quest to find the perfect taco would be as simple as rolling down to the nearest taqueria. Except, it's not quite that simple. Many beloved staples have gone downhill, while some newer spots that might boast things like a Michelin mention or multiple locations ranging from TJ to Vegas contain more hype and gristle than tender meat and substance. Enter Chula Tacos. Chula is, and always was, the type of place that makes you forget that you're not actually in Tijuana. While part of me misses their OG Market Street location, seeing them with brick-and-mortars feels hard-earned and well-deserved. This location on Palm in IB is relatively easy to access from the freeway, but parking can be tricky. You can safely assume that it will be busy and you will either have to be very lucky or be willing to find a spot on the street. Out of all the times I've been here, it's always been crowded enough that I've never been able to find a table inside, but I enjoy sitting out on the patio next to the ahumederos. The first thing that hits you walking through the door is how amazing everything smells. The queue to the cashier takes you near a window showing the kitchen where you can see the Chula Tacos team making fresh tortillas, slicing meat from the trompos, grilling up jalapenos, nopales, onions, labio, and tripa. For me, it's not so much a challenge to decide what I want, it's more a challenge to keep myself from ordering everything. My usual is four tacos: two asada, two al pastor (but I've heard that I should also try their world famous keka). The tacos though? Perfection. Every time, the asada is the juiciest and most tender I've ever eaten, the al pastor is succulent and flavorful, and no taco in front of me is long for the world. At $3.50 each, every one of them is absolutely loaded. Three would honestly fill me up, but I always want four. After getting burned by spots that ask around 75% more and deliver anywhere between 25-50% less, Chula Tacos feels like an absolute godsend of a Tijuana-style taqueria and I can't see any other contenders being my go-to. So, when I say "Tacos will fix me," what I mean nowadays is "Chula Tacos will fix me."

I ate the taco so fast I forgot to take a picture. Next we had shrimp ceviche. The shrimp were large and butterflied with sliced red onion and zucchini. It was spicy but just right amount.

After a quick yelp search we found this place nearby so we decided to give it a try. The restaurant was packed when we first arrived. People streamed in and out so there was always seating. Tables were clean. The staff was amazing -- they were extremely friendly and continually checked-in on us. For food we had birria tacos and a torta, honestly it was probably the best birria I have had in SD so far. I thought it was very flavorful and moist. Sadly Im allergic to onions so I asked for it to be removed and thankfully my torta didn't have any. Though we didn't get to try Ed Fernandez, we ended up at another amazing restaurant! Upon check-out the staff member said that since it was our first time there that we didn't need to tip. I felt bad about not tipping, esp since we got such amazing service. Anyways, we will definitely be back whenever we are in the area!

I'm not a huge fan of Birria but looking back I wish I had tried it! I got Tripi and I did not love it honestly, it was a bit burnt BUT I have to say it was made SO WELL. The tortillas- incredible, the Flavors - insane. I absolutely love their salsa, it is so good. I'm really stoked they are typically set up on Palm next to the DV Shelter I currently occupy . full of families. If I had the funds, I would probably eat here everyday. Writing this review I'd kill for their Asada Torta, I'm sure it's incredible! Price was $10 even for 2 Tripe tacos, fully loaded. I will absolutely be back, ambiance 10/10

I don't care what anyone says best street tacos this side of the border…read more They give you the basics and let you handle the rest like a big boy. They have a pretty awesome condiment set up grilled onions & peppers and beans by the register, radish, cucumber, cabbage, cilantro, onions, lime, and and about 5-6 different salsas. The person who referred to the guac being watered down is an idiot and doesn't understand that you can't leave real guac out sitting because it would go bad so they have it as a guac based salsa which is by the way delicious mix it with your favorite salsa, you know what's up. As for service they're nice they don't speak much english just basic so my boyfriend ends up talking to them and they converse in Spanish with customers I don't speak Spanish so I don't really talk to them just smile it doesn't really matter because I'm too busy stuffing my face with tacos. Also I noticed some people who come there often they see them pulling up and already start their order. They have music playing there so you have to speak up. I'm here at least once a week and I live in Mira Mesa. Yeah, my addiction is that f*cking serious. Adobada & tacos al vapor for life.

I've ordered and eaten from my share of taco trucks, from the clean and polished, to the…read moreshadier-than-shady-never-will-I-ever ones. La Taquiza de Tijuana is more than a taco truck. Kinda like transformers, the owners of the truck set up a roofed open fire grill atop which flaps of animal protein would be sizzling and releasing their nostril-flaringly delicious meat scents to the nearby trolley station. If that's not an effective way of selling their tacos, the line of fresh condiments and the 4 complimentary salsas will. The owners aren't very fluent in English, so having Spanish in your language repertoire is a plus. You order and pay at the cashier (~$1ea), which is outside of the truck, and walk a few steps to the truck itself; where you'll be handed your order. THEN YOU HIT THE SALSA BAR, which if you couldn't already tell from the caps, was what made the experience. Serious selection here, guys, you'll have a BLAST Only thing I didn't like about the taco I ordered was the fact that it was served as a 2-tortilla taco; I know it's more authentic, it's just a bit strange chewing on two texturally different tortillas from the same taco... The owners are also nice enough to set up a seating area, but who could wait those extra few seconds required to walk over when you could just eat your taco at the salsa bar?! Yeah, yeah, I'm a fatty. Fatty McFatfat.
