Solid food, but even better is the fact that you can come in here in your bathing suit straight from the beach.

My husband picked up food from here since it was close to our Air BnB. At first, I was kinda skeptical about a taco being $7/8, but the portion and flavor is worth it! They are not small street tacos. You could make about 2 tacos out of one, given how much filling they had. The salsa is also so tasty and has good heat, so if you don't like spicy, be a little cautious. My husband said that when he went in the evening, it wasn't too busy but staff mostly spoke Spanish, so just make sure to brush up on it or point to what you want to order. Great, local and tasty! read more

I've tried this place a couple times. Unfortunately was disappointed both times. I dog sit near the area so I wanted something close by and drive thru convenient. The food is okay, nothing special. I'm a big salsa girl, and I did not like either of their salsas. Lacked flavor over all. The customer service is probably the worst part. They're not friendly at all. If everything else is closed nearby, I would probably give it a go, but it would not be a priority choice at all. read more

Ugh. I come to SD from LA expecting amazing Mexican food at all levels. Came here as we needed a quick bite. Food was solid, Mexican fast food. I had the costillas en chile verde which were perfect with just the right amount of heat. My kids loved the huge asada tacos rice and beans. The rolled taquitos were not great, The filling was tiny and the tortilla too thick. The flying saucer was no good, the tortilla got soggy. As others have mentioned service was horrible. The lady with a mask on was mean, she was not happy and could care less about my order. read more

Yummy authentic Mexican food at great prices! This is a great place to get some authentic Mexican food at very affordable prices. The servings are huge! The prices are great. We had a lot of leftovers. We came here for lunch and were never hungry for dinner. We ate outside because it was hot inside, especially with the sun shining in and no AC. The weather was great outside. I would definitely come back. read more

This is a delicious taco/burrito stop. The inside is like a simple taco shop vibe with some seating. Prices aren't bad and the staff were friendly. I ordered a breakfast burrito and it was huge! I couldn't even finish it even though it was delicious! read more

This is a pretty small shop with about three tables inside and maybe two outside. The parking lot is very small and limited street parking. The worker is very kind and waited for us to be ready to order. They have a lot on the menu! I got the breakfast burrito, which is egg cheese, bacon potato, and she got two tacos with beans and rice. The wait was not long at all and it was all very hot. My burrito was exactly what I was looking for: flavorful and salty, but that perfect salt amount you crave in a burrito. I found it kind of interesting. I've never seen french fries be used for the potato portion in a burrito before. Regardless it was all very delicious and I eat it all. Beans and rice were very yummy and my girlfriend devoured the two tacos . We look forward to coming here and trying more items. I know they have a location down the street the offers drive-through. read more

Great food and service! Will definitely visit again. Roberto is great and so are his many locations.

This is hands-down, some of the worst Mexican food I've ever had and by far the worst fish taco I've ever had. It was fried, fishy, and tasted like it was super old. Also, the service was very poor. The woman acted like we were an inconvenience to be there. We're on vacation here and I wish I hadn't wasted our time going to this awful place. Avoid at all costs. read more

Terrible service, lady at the front is just insanely RUDE, for no reason. I've tried to be nice to her for the past 10 years that I have been going there and nothing ever changes. If their service was not so TERRIBLE then maybe it'd be okay but the food is'nt even anything crazy good. LEMME SAY AGAIN THE SERVICE IS TERRIBLE. THERE IS NO REASON THE LADY NEEDS TO BE THIS RUDE IT IS RIDICULOUS. read more

On a beautiful sunny day in San Diego I decided to go to La Jolla and eat some Mexican food to enjoy my Friday. Terrible service, the lady working here was absolutely rude for no reason. I ordered carne asada fries, meat dry no sauce no cheese, quaq had no flavor, tasted expired. Never coming here again read more

Taco stand was extremely awesome and on Fleek fire as hell the burrito was epic and extremely good highly recommend a burrito if you want something delicious and we'll hit the spot and last you all night long. I recommend this place. read more

This place has to have the worst costillitas de puerco chile verde I've ever had. This crap was pretty much hot flavorless soup. Not to mention tacos are $6 each! That Plate was $18! This place will never see my business again. Las costillitas de puerco, Valen pura verga. Hasta se mira, como una puta sopa sin sabor. If you're gonna be overpriced, make sure food is actually good. read more

I'm not sure why the rating for this shop is so low as I loved the burritos here! I got a carne asade burrito and it was amazing. The service was great and my food came out in a few minutes. The shop has limited seating, so it best for takeout. read more

Great food with friendly staff! Favorite place for carne asada fries in San Diego. The tacos and taquitos are very good as well.

Tacos are pretty good and big, full of flavors and juicy. Service is quick, and they have a drive thru, which makes this place very convenient for a late night snack. It is not a fancy place, just like a fast food, but good for price and flavors read more

This is amazing. Hidden gem. The steak in the quesadilla has actual quality flavor and seasoned well. The taco salad is Very much loaded. The shredded chicken is also flavored and seasoned well.

The very best potato rolled tacos in the city! So good, whenever I visit San Diego, this is on my list to eat!!!

This place isn't anywhere near incredible, but it's solid. My shrimp taco was $6 and it was filling and good with lots of salsa verde on it. The guy at the counter was really nice. All around a pleasant experience. read more

So, the fries in my California Burrito were Soggy and not Fully Cooked.... Knowing how to Cook, myself... it looked like the oil they used Needs to be Changed.... Coz, something I Sensed about the oil Seemed unclean and dirty....or old... So, I asked them to Re-make it. And, the poor guy, I think was traumatized because he re-made it.... But, Exactly the Same way, w Soggy, not fully cooked French fries.. I was trying to Jokingly say "Please don't hate me!!" And, Thanking them so Much for doing it. The Cashier guy in the window, I asked him Politely to have it re-made because I Traveled a far distance just to get a burrito and spend about $23.00 on my Total Purchase...there was No Apology.. I Appreciate they re-made it. But, I just couldn't eat it, it went in the Trash, Unfortunately. I Stopped by on 2-9-25 Just delayed on giving my Review. Ps) I'm Sorry I didn't come back for a drink. read more

I came here with my boyfriend for a quick and easy takeout dinner and we were pleasantly surprised! We got the carne asada burrito ($12.20) and the shrimp burrito ($12.40) and they were delicious and very filling. Both burritos were HEAVY. So though the cost is high, just keep in mind these are La Jolla prices and you're getting an enormous burrito. The asada burrito was loaded with an insane amount of carne asada and came with pico de gallo, guacamole (if you're trying to get a lot of protein this will do it!). The shrimp burrito came with rice, cheese, lettuce, and guacamole. Their green and red sauces on the side were also yummy :). The burritos here are bigger and more filled than the burritos from the Taco Stand and they taste just as good (but they cost about $1 more than the Taco Stand). This place is good if you want some simple, good burritos in La Jolla that are worth the cost. I saw someone else say that a lot of the negative reviews were confusing this place with another Rigoberto's and that definitely seems to be the case. This place does not have a drive thru and is next to Promiscuous Fork. It is also a minute away from the Taco Stand. It shares a bathroom with Promiscuous Fork (you have to ask for a key). The interior is very tidy and clean and the signage is easy to read. The service is fast and the workers are very polite. We will be coming back the next time we are in La Jolla! read more

How did I like my California burrito, you ask?! Hmmm take a look at my picture. Can't believe I just paid $12.30 for a soggy potato burrito. The only reason I gave an extra star was for the guac....yeah there's some in there. Not only was there very little carne asada but they didn't even use French fries. These potatoes were soggy...like left over hash brown potato. I came an hour after the lunch crowd so I guess they just threw in all the leftovers. There's a few other taco shops in the area...guess I'll be skipping this place from now on... read more

You don't go here for ambience or on a date. They do make a very good breakfast burrito with different options. They are always well-made and delicious with the Verde sauce and Tabasco. We got an assortment of burritos, some had potatoes, bacon, and sausage. Reasonably priced and very filling. read more

Ate takeout breakfast burritos from this shop, so can't comment on the ambience. However, based on the hash brown, egg, and cheese burrito, a solid spot. read more

In town celebrating a birthday, however the festivities are until tomorrow. Decided to step out and get a bite to eat with the honey. The other restaurants around were pretty loud and we were looking for something a bit more subdued. The service was friendly and fast. We ate outside. We had the chili relleno burrito and the combination plate with the beef taco and cheese enchilada. The food was very tasty however, the salsa they provide is lacking but serviceable. I would definitely go back. read more

I would absolutely shut the place down if you can for attitude. There is no reason the lady at the front taking orders should have quite possibly THE WORST ATTITUDE in probably the United States. The food was horrible and could find a better spot just down the road. I don't understand the small congested area for seating. Would never EVER COME BACK HERE read more
