Excellent service and amazing food! [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is clean and very relaxing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Why take your food to go when you can sit, enjoy your meal and forgot about the real world even if I ky got a brief time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I tried their nachos as it's their namesake and I was not disappointed at all. Freshness you can taste! My nachos had shredded cheese and came with a cup of nachos cheese! Score! I will be back again for sure. Maybe I'll try their beef broth soup. The picture on the menu and wall looked good! read more

I appreciated how much meat there was in the Adobada Tacos and how well it was grilled. While the marinade could've been a bit more flavorful, their salsa roja made up for it because it had the perfect spice level. And they have complimentary chips and salsa when you dine in! read more

My favorite Mexican food in SM! We go multiple times a month. Everything I've tried is so good and they are friendly. My favorite is the Sopes special and Coctel. Coctel is super fresh and the flavor is always on point, i usually never need to add anything! My husband's fav is the carne asada fries. Their meats have really good flavor and not basic taco shop tasting! Also, the beans here are really good! I'm super picky and never buy beans anywhere since i only like homemade but the ones here are good! read more

BEST NACHOS I HAVE EVER HAD!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]First off, place is so cute.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Nachos were chicken, cheese, beans and guacamole. You have chicken options! Shredded or grilled. I went with grilled. Was to go and they gave me 3 red salsas and 3 green and 2 sides of nacho cheese sauce! Ratio of bean to cheese to chicken was perfect. Every bite had a bit of each thing. Enough chips to make it through without needing a fork. I should have taken a picture but too busy eating. I'll be back. Highly recommended for ambiance and nachos. read more

I have been coming to Nacho's for 35 years and have never been dissatisfied. They make the best beans ever! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's clean and decorated nicely, everyone is friendly and I will come back as long as they're in business![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Shoutout to Lupe for always answering my calls and making sure I get enough salsa! read more

Update 9/18/25: I went to nachos tacos again today. It was amazing. Maria was so helpful and the Carne Asada nachos were just as good maybe even better than the first time I went. I highly, HIGHLY recommend!1000/10. read more

Great experience tonight at Nachoss. First time diner here and was greeted delightfully by a female cashier. Very sweet lady who made a few menu recommendations for me. I tried the adobada taco and carne asada fries. I had no idea how big the fries serving was! Definitely could have shared and took half home. Came with nacho cheese, beans, sour cream, guac and shredded cheese. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lots of room to sit inside the restaurant and very comfortable chairs.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Look forward to coming back and trying some other menu items. read more

We tossed out the nachos! We ordered the nacho supreme with ground beef. It was big enough to share, but that is the only positive thing I can say about it. It only had about 6 slices of jalapeños. The ground beef was bland. The bottom of the nachos was watery making all of the chips on the bottom soggy. Two of us ate, maybe, half of the nachos before we just decided to toss it in the trash. By far, this was the worst nachos we have ever had! read more

Everything is really delicious We have been coming for years and they are so generous, gentle and nice with all the customers! Definitely it's a place you must go! read more

First time visitor, [[HIGHLIGHT]]spotlessly clean[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], food was absolutely amazing, service was excellent.

In the area ... decided to try the place on reviews. One Chile Relleno burrito with one tiny container of pico and a kid-sized refused-refill Diet Coke was $18 with tax. Why? First off, they're laughably cheap with salsa and drinks ... Soda is $2.99 small / $4.00 medium (no large). Sodas filled in the kitchen and no refills even on request. No salsa bar. You get one little plastic mini salsa container with each item and that's it (there were 3 options - pico, hot, and some 3rd option). There's no self-serve anything here. Decent $14 vegetarian burrito I guess? Refried beans were fine but not the top chile relleno burrito in town mindblowing by any stretch. Maybe reviews are on more of a takeout/takeaway place? Did a high school clock the place as a juicy soda-stealing mark? A serial salsa criminal bled them dry? There's got to be some reason both are big asks here and it's frankly sit down restaurant food prices here so... read more

This restaurant has the nicest employees and the best homemade tasting Mexican food. We were immediately greeted by the kind cashier who answered our questions. When we got to our seat the young server brought us chips with salsa. He was extremely nice and professional. Everyone seemed very happy to work here, which made us enjoy our meal even more. The food had a homemade authentic taste. The prices were very reasonable. The horchata is made in-house, with real rice which I feel like you never see anymore. They provided all the salsa we needed and the service was undeniable. Thank you, we will definitely be back to try their homemade Jamaica! read more

Nachos Taco Shop - Shrimp combo plate \\ Taco tostada meal - Tacos Near Me - San Marcos, California

Best Cali Burrito in SD. Steak is charred and cooked to perfection- the opposite of dry. The potatoes taste fresh, the pico and guac taste fresh as well and have a beautiful lime flavor. They use the perfect amount of cheese and all of the ingredients are balanced. The tortilla has a perfect crisp and to top it all off you get a fantastic salsa and a side of chips. Most places don't include chips. I've been twice and had a 10/10 burrito both times. Will be coming back for sure. read more

I was in the area and craving Mexican..any excuse to try another item of my favorite place. Today's tamale was so good..tender beef and some incredibly delicious dark Mole on the side. I've had Mole in other restaurants and they don't compare to this one. I let the chef know and he said they make it themselves. The tostada was very good as well and the food always comes out pretty quick! The fajitas looks great and I can't wait to try that on my next visit! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is legit! Small, super casual, and with great food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The people are friendly and welcoming. I had the #4 combination which comes with a taco, tostada, and an enchilada with rice and salsa. It was soooo good.

Unfortunately, the food and service was ok and wish it was better. Had the nachos and breakfast burrito. Lots of food for price, just wish it was better tasting and less bland. Like other Mexican shops like this, high prices and definitely not close to home cooked Mexican food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The location can use a few upgrades to make the experience better too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Good food, low prices and friendly service. we try to eat there every Sunday lunch. The staff treat us like famil. always a warm greetin.

I ordered their Nachos Supreme w/ ground beef. Something different for me than the usual burrito or tacos. I found it quite delicious and filling. I will definitely return and try something else new! read more

The California burrito is terrible. They forgot the guac and they added pico despite my request to exclude it. The burrito was greasy and nasty, I could not even finish it read more

Great hidden gem. The people who greet you are always super nice, and the food is authentic and delicious.

Came here for breakfast and it was delicious! The service there is amazing too. It's definitely a place I will visit again soon

The carne asada street tacos were amazing. Hands down. Will definitely stop in there when I'm in the area.

When we entered Nachos Taco Shop, the lady, a long time employee was so welcoming and helpful. When we told her that we were first time customers, she proudly stated that they had been operating for 30+ years. We placed our order at the counter, afterwards we found our table. Shortly after we sat, the lady brought a tray with corn chips and mild salsa and offered a spicier version if we wanted it. We took her up on it. She even went around checking with all the customers to find out anything was needed. Rarely do you find that happening in a Resturant with just counter service. Usually the customer has to get up and ask. The food at this Resturant was excellent!! I got a beef taco and a chili relleno plate. My husband got a burrito and enjoyed it immensely. My chili relleno was huge and very delicious. I enjoyed my beef taco also. We both felt the menu prices were very reasonable for what you ordered. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The Resturant was kept very clean and table wiped down as soon as a customer got up and left.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is casual dining at it's best.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We noticed they had a pretty brisk take out business. I can not speak about the restrooms as I did not use them. We will come again! read more

Nachos Taco Shop - Tacos Near Me - San Marcos, California

This place will nickel and dime you every chance they get. I ordered a simple bean and cheese burrito to save money, but cheese apparently costs an additional $1.20. Also a small 12 oz soda (half of which is ice) is $3 and you can't even get a refill. Also the cashier blatantly stole 50¢ from me by making the price on the kiosk different than what was on the receipt. This is not about the cost of the food, but the principle of which they charge you. Absolutely ridiculous, do not eat at this disgrace of an establishment. read more

Mediocre would be an overstatement. Got a chorizo breakfast burrito and it had almost 0 chorizo in it. It had no flavor, the sauce was only ok. The price for portion was bad for comparison of other local Mexican food places. If you want an average/below average experience feel free to visit. read more

We totally enjoyed our food and the exceptionally friendly service! We had rolled tacos and carne asada street tacos. I was asked if I wanted guacamole on my taquitos and asked if there was tomato in it. There was so I opted not to partake. Lovely cashier/hostess chopped some fresh avocado for me! What a lovely gesture not at all lost on me!! My son's carne asada was grilled to perfection and their salsas were outstanding!! Crunchy, fresh chips had no grease whatsoever. Can't wait to go back and try something new! Plenty of parking. Lots of seating. Just go!! read more

I stopped into this restaurant on a Friday during my errands to have lunch. I ordered the chicken enchiladas and I really like yeah Mexican food. This was not very good and lacked flavor and taste. It was just really bland,It actually gave me indigestion. I know other restaurants that offer much better tasting food that's filled with flavor. read more

Thee best taco shop in the area. Beans and salsa are on point, and that's how we knew the rest of the food would be excellent, and it is! Maria is so sweet and friendly. We only wish they stayed open later. Highly recommend read more
