Service can be a little hit or miss depending on who's at the register but nothing horrible.

Best Rolled Tacos in the Game! Hands Down. 6/5…read more It's been tried and it's been true. Where else can you get fresh AF, juicy, beef rolled tacos that are rolled and fried to order? I'm waiting.... I'll put La Lomitas rolled tacos up against anybody's, ANYBODY'S! Covered in freshly made, still green guacamole, tomatoes, and shredded cheese, these bad boys are smackin'! $9.25 for 5 rolled tacos isn't terrible, but you might as well phone a friend on some Who Wants to Be a Millionaire type ish and order that 12 pack for $16.99. Ya feel me? If you don't, you will. And don't forget to peep out all of the accoutrements at the salsa bar-4 different salsas, pickled red onions, limes, radishes, and hot carrots, all gratis my amigo. Say whaaaaaat!? Yes, they kindly ask that you don't go overboard and request you take only 2 salsas per item, but just don't be greedy and you should be fine. The salsa bar was super clean and the salsas were delicious. I've also had carne asada fries here (always ask for extra crispy) and they're delicious as well. If you're not asking for your carne asada fries to be extra crispy at any taco shop, you're just doing it wrong. Enjoy my friends! Thanks to La Lomita and crew for coming through again. You guys really shine.

This is one of our favorite restaurants to get carnitas. Today we decided to switch it up a bit. What we ordered: * Bean & Cheese Burrito * 2 shrimp Tacos Bonus: 2 complimentary carnitas tacos (which is given to each dine in guest.) Our food was amazing as always. Carnitas always hits. Shrimp was nice & grilled. Bean & cheese burrito, DELICIOUS. I always use their green salsa. So very tasty. If you're in National City, this is a must try spot!! We always leave satisfied.

The Carne Asada Taco has a smoky beef flavor, and the quesadilla with corn tortilla has that seared cheese effect that you can only get with Oaxaca cheese, which is like a Mexican Mozzarella. I highly recommend pairing a quesadilla with your tacos. You can order it from any line. I've been going to Tacos El Gordo for almost 25 years now and it is still legit! This place is a San Diego staple that is true to home, and if you're not from San Diego, don't leave without trying it out!

Went to SD this past weekend and went twice in a row because their cabeza and carne asada tacos and…read moreplain quesadillas were so good! The tacos were around $4 which is pretty average but I thought their tacos were a bit bigger than average and had a good amount of meat. I usually can do two bites at other taco places but I have to take three bites here lol. The cabeza tacos were so tender and the carne asada tacos had a nice smoking taste to them. I also like how they came with a good amount of guac and you can also get a side or extra guac if you want more which was very nice of them. The plain quesadillas are simple but something about it was taste soo good, might be the cheese that they use and their handmade tortilla. I'm not too fan of their ordering system as there are around 5-7 different lines depending on what item/meat you want. If you want carne asada, you have to line up and then you have to line up at another line if you want another type of meat. Some lines are longer than others so I feel like my food gets cold by the time I get my second order and then I have to line up to pay. Both times I came, I came around 10-11pm and they ran out of the green sauce. They have a parking lot in the back so I prefer this location than the one at gaslamp.

HEAVENLY. Ever since i've moved to San Diego back in December of 2023 this has been my GO TO spot…read more This place has such a variety of options including their salsa bar. The adobada here is insanely tasty, I always get the adobada tacos and I never skip adobada fries when i'm with friends. This place has never failed me with their consistency and great service. I could honestly not think of any cons about this place. Coming from someone who's been to every corner of the world these tacos are a 10/10 . If you like mexican food, these tacos alone will change your life. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Tacos El Gordo has always been my go-to spot when I come home, and the food is still good, but some…read moreof the changes have turned me off a bit. The biggest change is the ordering process. You now have to pay first, then wait for your food to be made. I actually preferred the old setup where you could walk to the different stations, pick your tacos, watch them prepare everything fresh, get it packed up, and then pay at the end. It felt like part of the experience. We also have to talk about the pricing. I remember when these tacos were around $1.25 each. Now they're over $4 for a mini street taco. I understand this is California and the cost of goods has increased, but that is a drastic jump. That said, I don't want to take away from the food because the tacos are still excellent. I ordered two buche tacos and a quesadilla, and both were 10 out of 10. They don't miss when it comes to seasoning and flavor. The service is still quick as well. My only real complaint is the price. It feels overpriced for what you're getting, and honestly, it may explain why there weren't many people there when we visited. There were only a handful of customers inside. The food is still worth trying, but be prepared for some serious sticker shock.

I must say, I love coming here at least once a week. A few…read moreyears back, I paid a visit (forgot what I ordered) and the food was meh. Fast forward to now! Hubby and his buddies would come a few times during the week and I finally caved in. Man oh man!! I've been getting the same thing so far. Surf & turf taco, shrimp ceviche tostada, and an order of fries. Beverage changes depending what I'm in the mood for. So! The surf and turf taco! The carne asada is juicy, flavorful, and the meat is tender with every bite! The grilled shrimp seems like it has the same seasoning from the meat! And I'm fine with that! At least there's nothing bland and boring here! Comes with sautéed white onions and bell peppers on to of two corn tortillas with white shredded melted cheese. The shrimp ceviche is an equally chopped of portion of marinated vegetables- onion/ tomato/ cucumber and shrimp. And I don't feel like I get gyped if there's less protein- because here- NOT THE CASE! The shrimps you get here are huge! Whoa! There's table side hot sauces in the bottle. And your server brings out a condiment caddy of fresh salsas (verde or red spicy/ habanero );ketchup; chipotle mayo; and mayonesa. If it's not a cold bottle of Modelo Especial, then most likely it's a Michelada or a mango drink. The last two choices of beverage preference are served in this huge cup- I swear it's a 24oz (maybe 32 oz?)... The service is always swift. We typically eat inside, but Guanatos offers outdoor service. Small parking lot and bathroom available.

Came here with a small group for mariscos. Overall it was decent, but not super stand out…read more Their agua frescas are a little different than what you'd expect. They're more blended instead of that thinner, water based style. I personally liked the mango since it tasted like a blended mango, but just something to keep in mind depending on what you're expecting. The fish tacos were good and nicely battered. I just wish they made their own tortillas. The ceviche was more of a chopped mix of shrimp, tomatoes, and cucumber, and didn't really have any juice, which threw me off a bit. The aguachile tostada was really spicy. I know it's supposed to have heat, but this one was definitely spicier than most places. The flavor was good though. Overall a solid spot to try, but not one I'd go out of my way for.

I gotta deal with parking in a longer wait time. So hilberto's for the win On this specific trip, I ordered one beef taco I must say the beef taco is pretty perfect It is stuffed full of shredded beef They give me a good amount of very tasty salsa I'm not mad at all It would have five stars if it wasn't for that damn quesadilla I had a few months ago. I really can't let that go. Let it go just enough to come back, but not enough to forget about it or forgive it. I've never gotten out of the car and ordered at the walkout window.
