After leaving San Diego over 15 years ago to around the world and settle in Florida I have always missed a California burrito. Many many have tried but do not love up to the hype. I found one in Orlando and it made weep it was so good. Well I found another outside of San Diego. The Cali burrito and the carne asada fries were top notch. Hats off to this little shop. read more

Stopped by San Diego Taco Shop with my team. They have a very large menu with plenty of options to choose from, and the service was friendly and efficient. I ordered the Super Nachos and a horchata. The portion size was generous and definitely filling--I left full. For me, the food was just okay, but several members of my team really enjoyed their meals and had positive things to say about their choices. Overall, it's a good spot if you're looking for variety and large portions, with solid customer service. read more

So good and authentic food. The carne asado burritos and the machaca burritos are my go tos

I'm from SoCal (shame me later) and this is the closest thing to Cali-Mex out there. The portions are gigantic, the menu is expansive, and the service is very fast and friendly. If any LA or OC transplants are missing their fast-casual Mexican spots, that aren't Tex-Mex, this is IT! read more

As a San Diego native, an Irving resident I wanted to love this place so much. Everytime I've tried, sometimes years between visits, it hasn't been good. Burnt Carne, old Guac, long wait times, wrong orders. I wish I could recommend. That's being said, if someone can vouch for improvement I will try again. read more

Literally the worst burrito I've ever eaten... It was so dry and I asked for chips and queso but I got chips and cheese If I wanted American burritos and chips I would of just gone to Taco Bell or chipotle smh Worst $16 I've ever spent on food read more

The food tastes good, no complaints there. *Having a minimum of 2 breakfast tacos to buy is a no go. *The size of the tacos are ridiculously small *More than positive the flour tortillas are not house made San Antonio has better tacos in Tejas read more

San Diego Tacos Shop - bean & cheese taco. they need to state they sell small tacos. this is NOT standard size. Yall head down to SATX, b/c this ain't it. - Mexican Near Me - Irving, Texas

We go here regularly. We love their burritos. Always good and you make two meals out of one if you are not super hungry. Their taco plate and salsa and chips are excellent as well. Not super speedy in the drive through,but fast enough considering what they are preparing. Dining room clean and basic. We will continue to frequent them. read more

Amazing food! I've been here every week since I've tried it, their carne asada burrito with beans and cheese has my heart! Soooo freaking good read more

Came here on a friend's recommendation. There so many little Mexican spots in the area and it's hard to decide on good spots. This place was pretty good it is a small place with maybe 8 small tables. They feature tacos, sopes, gorditas and burritos that are massive. If the flavor was more prominent I would give it a higher rating but don't think that it wasn't a good eat. I wanted more after I was done. It is great for quick Mexican food and the portions are pretty fantastic and definitely gave it another stars worth especially for the value. Perfect place for a good lunch. Plenty of parking, quick and delicious. read more

this spot has definitely gone down. they give rotten food and will get offended when asked to exchange it. They also Give different pricing for sides and use "that's what we have always charged" when questioned. Go to Gilberto's Tacos in Arlington instead!!! I'm so glad I made the 20 min drive even tho this spot is 2 mins from my house. read more

Food was amazing, very reminiscent of SoCal Carne Asada Burritos and Carne Asada Fries.

Great prices, open late, good tasting food, plus they have a drive through!!! If you're in the area and want something quick, check this spot out! read more

Drive through and sit down (ish) fast food, authentic taco shop! These tacos are definitely authentic and live up to the name. The tacos orders comes with two tacos each, we ordered the carne asada and those were massive and good. The bean and cheese burrito was my favorite, and also the portion size was huge. The tortilla could've been a bit more authentic, it was a bit doughy. The quesadilla was probably the favorite overall, we asked for cheese but got carne asada and that was a good mistake! It was good and stayed well in the fridge when we ate the leftovers the next day. read more

This place is great for quick service tacos or Mexican food. The prices are very reasonable and the staff are always friendly. It's more of a good hole in the wall type of place than a sit down restaurant but it's perfect for carry out or a quick meal. I usually stop by for a quick bite when I'm in this part of Irving. read more

Drove all the way from Little Elm to try this place. I am originally from San Diego so I'm always missing my taco shop rolled tacos. I ordered rolled tacos which were really good. I also ordered a carne asada burrito for later but ended up taking a few bites there. The carne was too salty. I think the cook was probably just heavy handed with the salt that day. It wasn't dry though. But that's why I gave 4 stars instead of 5. I will revisit to see if that was just an off day, im really hoping that's all it was. read more

Tacos Muy Ricos Y A Un Comodo Precio Cierran Hasta Muy Tarde Y Cuentan Con Drive Thru Lo Recomiendo

The nacho were delicious! It was a very large portion of chips, carne asada, quacamole, sour cream, beans, and cheese. The gorditas were filled to the max with meat. The staff was friendly. Expect a slight wait, but it's worth it. read more

Good food and tacos y la agua de melon I've been going there since it opened and it was called Cesars tacos I recommend read more

This is one of the best taco shops in all of DFW! I am a San Diego native who moved to DFW and I missed the taste of Mexican food back in SoCal. This restaurant has always maintained great portion sizes, flavor, and they keep prices reasonable. If you are the owner of this location, I would love to help you with your drive through sign, it's incredibly hard to read and worn out and I am a graphic designer who would be happy to help create new menu signs for the drive through for free as a thank you for always having the best food. If you see this and are interested please reply to my review! read more

This has got to be the worst lunch I have ever had! I order the nachos with jalapeños. The meat was all stuck together and had a shredded sort of consistency. The cheese was in chunks that were only partly melted. The taste was as bad as the plate looked. I was sick to my stomach the rest of the day! I will never ever go back again! read more

Their carnita and fish tacos are delish!! And at a great price too! I will be back! Barbacoa Tacos are yummy too! read more

I'll save you the trouble. Outside of its name, there is nothing San Diego about the Mexican food here. Based on previous reviews, I really thought it was possible the food could be the same but it fell very short of what we anticipated. The produce didn't taste fresh and tortillas tasted stale, and the hot sauce was watered down. Service was decent- so I had to drop two stars. I hate leaving bad reviews so I always try a place a second time, maybe I will update in the future. read more

I drive past this place every morning. On 4 occasions I stop to get breakfast through the drive through. In all four cases, nobody ever takes my order. Today I pull up the the window and see an employee standing there and won't look over. Then a second. Finally a third person sees me and they come to window. I explain and the girl couldn't care less. I drove off for the 4th time after spending 15 minutes waiting. Clearly the people work there don't care. read more

Tried this place for the first time today, The Tong (lengua) tacos were chunky and meat was hard The Pastor tacos were chewy, the meat wasn't cut up very well The bistek tacos were ok the chicharron was very good. Over all it seemed a calm place, not a lot of traffic at lunch time. read more

Drove through here while on break from work. Ordered the asada taco plate & it didn't disappoint. Very filling & full of flavor. Lots of meat for the amount you pay will be going back. read more

I had been once before and it was okay. The barbacoa tacos are decent. Staff is rude and my torta came with expired bread. Literally it was not even staying together because it was crumbling so bad. Please just go to Fito's or anywhere else. read more

Love this place, but my partner doesn't just because they don't have taco de tripas. But for me this place is amazing

Food/Taste: 3.5 Customer Service: 4.0 Location: 4.0 Pricing: 5.0 Cleanness: 3.7 WiFi: no wifi (couldn't connect) The food is better than Taco Bell for about the same price. The place is very small but the pricing is good for a low budget outing. The chorizo had a good taste but the tacos al pastor weren't as tasty. There's a three dollar minimum in order to pay with card. read more

San Diego Tacos Shop - Tipo Chico, Breakfast Burrito (Chorizo) and tacos al pastor - Mexican Near Me - Irving, Texas

Best breakfast burritos! Their chorizo burritos are the best but their steak burritos are really good too!

I walked in, waited for service at the counter for several minutes. There were only five people in the place sitting together at two tables and they already had their food. There were four or five people working in the back. If someone had just acknowledged I existed I would have hung around. read more

Great food! Great price! Would recommend this to anyone living in the Irving Coppell area.

Atmosphere: Super loud music, so if you can't deal with a good time, stay away Service: see menu, walk up to window, ask for food, pay for food, sit down, they call your receipt number, pick up your food, consume heavenly meal Quality: I'm originally from San Diego, CA but I've lived in Texas for 7 years. The first time I tried to order carne asada fries at a restaurant (not here), I had to EXPLAIN what I meant and ended up getting a STEAK served on some waffle fries.. and at that point, I gave up ever hoping to find carne asada fries in Texas. Not ANYMORE, BABY! This place is like a small little piece of San Diego transplanted here just for me. Pricing: Who cares, this place has carne asada fries!? Just kidding, it's affordable and you can get 2 burritos and the fries for a little over $20, nbd read more

2 stars bc Chimichanga is decent however..... I lived in San Diego for about 12yrs before deciding to move to the DFW. I was so excited to try this place just to be extremely disappointed. There is no way the owners are from San Diego. This is a horrible representation of Cali-Mex. They use fish sticks for their fish Tacos‼‼‼ If San Diegans knew that, this place would be burned to the ground! And yes I tried most of their menu before making this review. This place has tremendous upside. No bad vibes I just hope to push you guys to represent San Diego better. read more

We are from San Diego and is the great Mexican food there. This place does the trick!!!

The best I have had in the area. I moved here from San Diego and they have legit carne asada fries and rolled tacos. It makes me so happy to find a place that reminds me of home because of the good food and the name of course. read more

1) food was good 2) salsa was great 3) tacos are the length of a finger 4) if you enjoy having flies swarming around you, then this is the place. I couldn't believe the amount of flies in this place 5) the light in the mens bathroom doesn't work so not sure how workers wash their hands. Good luck and bring a huge mata mosca (fly swatter) read more
