Could be the worst menudo I've ever had. Meat was like card board. I don't think I will ever go back.

food is great. not your typical sit down and dine restaurant. it's just eating good sloppy food like it's your cheat day. so don't know what you're expecting, this ain't no michelin and isn't trying to be so why review like it is. it's all about the taste read more

got a Cali burrito, the meat isn't well cooked and it's just fries meat and cheese, that's not a Cali burrito. Also the meat always tastes weird . And there was a hair . I did bite being hungry me hopeing it tastes better and that's when I found it . were nice but maybe smile more, looks like you hate people. read more

Nolbertos Taco Shop - Mexican Near Me - San Diego, California

Service in non existent with this place the son who works in the back is rude disrespectful and doesn't know what customer service means we placed a order a carne asada fries mind you fries where under cooked and frozen still we also order a beef burrito and it was the size of a frozen burrito when we brought it to his attention his answer was it's little due to the way they cook their beef ? I thought to myself you have to fooling me right ?? I was refunded my money with no apology or nothing I'll never spend my money with this establishment again read more

I've lived in the Golden Hill neighborhood for over 5 years and am still discovering odd little places every week in the surrounding areas. This time I discovered, Nolbertos Taco Shop, a quick three minute drive from my neck of the woods. Humble is an understatement when describing Nolbertos. Bare bones and no frills, this place just pumps out some standard Mexican fare for what appears to be years. There are tables lining the walls with a big open space in the middle of the floor where they could probably squeeze a few more seats but there's probably no need with virtually no customers. I can only speak for the breakfast burrito that rang in at $5.70 with eggs, cheese, bacon, potato, guacamole and pico. Hey, not a bad burrito! The tortilla was slightly crisped and they didn't skimp on any of the ingredients. I couldn't finish the entire thing as it was quite large but not to the point that it was an excessive novelty meal. Another thing I love is when they serve the salsas in plastic squeeze bottles. It's the best! The bottles are a little cold to the touch and it's so much easier to get the salsa in all of the nooks and crannies. Not a bad little spot but if they accepted credit cards and built a drive-thru they'd earn a lot more of my business. read more

Nolbertos Taco Shop (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/SsQEuJeCYTIFJdaCaYYGOg?select=LiMpn-tVP-IdQ8NVN0ptnA) is a place that you can, for the most part, just drive on by. They gave me a premade, barely average carne asada burrito. They also have a 3 star breakfast burrito (but there's no bacon to be had here!). If you have to try anything here (burrito-wise), go for the pollo asado as it was easily 4 stars.

I think he looked at me and wondered if I were a cop or a porno star. Also, some guy went into the bathroom and immediately came back out covering his nose. read more

Stopped in here on a slow Sunday afternoon. I was the only person in here. I ordered my standard rolled tacos since it was my first time. They were pretty good. Service was decently friendly. Plenty of parking out front. Salsa pretty good. A lot of space in the dining area, they could add a couple of more tables and still have plenty of room. read more

Nolbertos Taco Shop - Mexican Near Me - San Diego, California

Went in again today as I have so many weeks over the past year and everything is still the same. Great quality, great prices and a friendly mom, pop and son working hard everyday! I really love this place even though the decor isn't great in the dining room the kitchen is always spotless and free of clutter which is what counts! I take my food to go as the atmosphere isn't the best in the dining room with all the working men sitting alone eating their lunch. :) I also have the advantage that it is in walking distance to my work wahoo! read more

Not in the best part of town and not the cleanest or well decorated or friendliest staff but popping in here for lunch one day when I was subbing down the street was worth it. GIANT and I mean pretty damn big bean and cheese burrito for $3. The burrito was great and I loved that I got a squeeze thing of salsa so I could wet my burrito as much as I liked. PS cash only read more

I come in at noon and order a breakfast burrito, they tell me they are too busy to make a breakfast burrito. 2 other people sitting in store. Total bs lazy, just lost 4 customers for life and that's 2-4 burritos a week x 52 weeks a year, do the math. This is dated January 2014 somehow this did not post until now . read more

You can call a head to get your order!! My fave are the Carne Asada Fries with extra fries and 2 flour tortillas..of course I share my fries unlike some people.!!lol.. Trust me I couldn't eat the whole thing by myself!The food is good and the prices are affordable if you are on a budget . read more

Nolbertos Taco Shop - Carne Asada Fries From da hood!! - Mexican Near Me - San Diego, California

The worst Mexican food I've had in SD!!! Bland burritos, Horchata is way too powdery, service in non existent, zero cleanliness. Stay far away. read more

For $4.09 you can have the best carne asada burrito in the city. I am well aware that most people will not know were this taco shop is nor will they travel there to sample this huge burrito. That is fine with me. I have lived off taco shop burritos since I moved to SD over ten years ago and Nolbertos is the best. Nothing fancy, just simple, authentic goodness. Saying "best burrito in the city" is a bold statement, but I stand by it. I travel past ten taco shops to get there. I will even stop at Sombreros for my wife first and then head over to Nolbertos. read more

So this the place I found to waste my lunch money on Tuesdays and Thursdays..it's not that great but it is a step up and a star up from KFC who I just slammd on finally..this place looks like your average hole in the wall taco joint. nothing I've gotten here has ever been the right price that it says on the menu so I think they need to update that stuff so your customers wont be confused..it took almost 20 minutes to get my very simple quesidilla that should have took like 5 minutes the most..it just looks run down in here..alot of cracked furniture and floor looks nasty..I hope they would try to make this place a little nicer inside. read more

I been coming here since I was little and that hasn't changed bomb food and great service? Very clean spot never slacking on the food or anything appreciate spots like this ,if you're ever around Logan this is your spot read more

Had my car in the shop across the street so figured I'd come in and kill some time. Ordered a California burrito and horchata. The burrito was definitely worth the price. Great taste and good price. The carne Asada was delicious. Didn't need any hot sauce. It was just right. The horchata was really good. Not watered down like some shops. All in all, a good visit. I'm considering making this my main taco shop. We shall seeeeeee. read more

I ate lunch here on a Tuesday, got the crunchy taco lunch plate. It tasted very good, but later that night I got very, very sick!!! I threw up all night and ended up with diarrhea for the next 3 days. I am thinking it could have been the "agua de piña" drink and not the actual food. Either way, I won't be coming back to this place cause I'm spooked of what happen. These are not bad people and I thought the service was OK. At this point I would blame the drink cause that's what was grossing me out when I was puking all night. If you end up eating here, I'd say stay away from the water drinks and get a coke instead. read more

At first a bit skeptical because it's a very bleak atmosphere with a few game machines and nothing really around except some old school booths. However grabbed a breakfast burrito and was super satisfied. The eggs aren't watered down or powdered eggs. Actually nicely scrambled eggs. Happy with my breakfast and would come back. Fast and clean too. read more

Stopped here, for lunch, once with my parents (who like eating from here). It's definitely not a fancy Mexican eatery. It has a questionable amount of empty space and interior decor, but don't let that stop you from trying it out. This place has one of the better, if not best, bean and cheese burritos that I have tasted around the San Diego area. Plenty of cheese and the beans actually taste good! I cannot vouch for the rest of the menu items, since I did not try them, but if they have a good bean and cheese then that's reason enough for me to keep coming here! read more

I only go here out of pure desperation. They are cash only and if you want your food to taste good then you havr to pay extra to add flavor.

Pretty good taco and burrito spot. Their breakfast burritos are really good.. Cash only

A great neighborhood taco shop. I think this one is closest to my house, but in this town you don't have to go far in any direction to find a great taco shop. What makes this one a good choice in direction? While it doesn't have a drive through, it's an easy in and out with plenty of parking. I've tried many of their giant burritos and the Cali is accomplished very well here. I've had family from out of town and friends from another part of this town both always say it's great, and thank me. While one downside is that they only take cash, at least there is an ATM inside (with a fee). However, while I wait for my food, I love getting a round of Metal Slug in on the old Neo Geo arcade cabinet. Both red and green sauces are awesome, and they'll give you as many as you want. Which is great considering the size of these burritos. read more

One of the best 'hole in the wall' taco shops in the area! Ive lived in South Park for 20 years and have had my share of Benny's and all the surrounding taco places. I only discovered this place this year and I am so happy I did! Their prices are great and their food is great!! I normally get the 2 beef tacos, rice and beans for 5 bucks + tax! Also, its CASH ONLY but they do have an ATM in there! Check them out! read more

I've been coming here for years and I'll always come back to this place. The food is amazing and the carne asada fries are my kryptonite! Second home right here read more

Been going here since I was a kid and I love this place. Ingredients haven't changed and never disappoints. California burrito may only have fries, sour cream, cheese and carne but it tastes great. Hot sauce isn't that creamy stuff it's just the flavor of the peppers they use. There's always something new to try. read more
