We assign San Diego Tacos a four-star rating, primarily due to the exceptional quality of their steak breakfast burritos and the commendable customer service provided by their server/cashier. However, the rolled taco, or taquito, was merely satisfactory, appearing somewhat dry or overcooked. We anticipate an improved experience on our subsequent visit. read more

i had the strongest craving for a breakfast burrito and was in the area. when i stopped by, i legit thought this place was closed, since the parking lot was fairly empty and i didn't see anyone inside. When a place is called san diego taco shop, you would assume the food would be very legit. It may have been legit, but the quality just wasn't there all the way. i ended up getting a simple steak burrito. It was alight, the steak itself was pretty dry and didn't pack a lot of flavor. But it did its job and kept me full. people working there are very friendly. they also have a drive through. Good thing is they have child seats, although a bit dirty... but helpful if you bring a toddler with you. read more

Place is a joke, can't even get a quesadilla right. Went here a few weeks ago w my gf bc we live close and wanted to try it. Was disappointed the first time but I was otw home today and didn't want to go out of the way, decided I would give it another chance.... Ordered a quesadilla thinking how bad can it be? Literally all meat and no cheese, meat has been cooked so long it was hard to chew and it had no flavor. 13 bucks for crap read more

Normally Mexican Fast Food is all pretty similar which I love. I had high hopes for this location as Texas has great Mexican style food. Not here though.. unfortunately this isn't the same quality as your go to O's( Alberto's, Roberto's, Antonio's). The Nachos chips use horrible tasting not made in-house chips. The meat has no flavor and overall the taste is not on par with a place I would frequent. Maybe i'll go back to try something else but I don't have high hopes. read more

Opens early, great food and fast service. Taste like home. I'm so glad we live so close now. read more

The food is great. I should try it more often. I ordered inside and my food was fresh and ready in under 15 minutes. Affordable.

Always nice women who work or are the owners best plate #20 I love when I crave their food... today I also tried agua Fresca and the rolled tacos with cheese so good read more

San Diego Tacos Shop - #20 - Mexican Near Me - Irving, Texas

Not the same as in San Diego. Looks similar but the carne asada is more of a shredded fatty meat than what you'd get in Cali. Not worth $49 for 2 drinks, carne asada fries, 3 rolled tacos and a burger. Prob 2x the cost you'd pay at a local taco shop in SD. Not sure how anyone affords this in South Irving. Pico would also be nice to add on the fries as a culinary tip. Can't recommend. read more

SO disappointing! I've been here before and ordered a carne asada burrito before and I am from San Diego so I know what a carne asada burrito should be! I ordered a carne asada burrito plate. See the picture! That's not carne asada! That is just shredded beef just cut up! Also lacking guacamole! The burrito size isn't that big for the price! I ordered to go so I didn't go back and won't be going back! read more

Great food! Great prices! Great staff! Best this they offer is consistency in their food and quick service. I unfortunately will be moving from the DFW but will never forget the late nights and early mornings that this place made better for me. read more

We stumbled upon this taco shop when we were out shopping in the area this weekend. We were so pleased to see that it reminded us of a very popular chain we frequented in Los Angeles. The menu was identical and the food was reminiscent of what we had missed when we moved here. Plenty of options of choice of meats for tacos, tostada, torta, sopes, rolled tacos (taquitos). We were overly excited because we ordered too much food and both my husband and I were overly full. The barbacoa and carnitas are a standout, but I'm sure all of their meats are delicious. They have combo plates which we didn't get so I can't speak to their rice or beans. I will say that the guacamole wasn't very flavorful. They give you lime wedges with the tacos, so we used that to jazz up the guacamole. The restaurant is unassuming and welcoming. The staff was friendly. It was nice to hear Spanish speakers. I will say that I had to deduct a star because their air conditioning was not working. With 108 degree weather, it was no bueno. read more

My daughter surprised me & brought me lunch from San Diego Tacos & it was delicious! I started frequenting the place & one day, the flavors were totally different. I gave it several times & it got worst. It got so bad that the last time I was there I took the food back & asked for a refund! I have not been back but I heard they got good again. I will try one more time to see for myself. ‍ read more

always delicious, always friendly, & almost always open. what a great place. so many options! the agua fresca melón is the best & it's got real fresh melon pulp. read more

Having lived in San Diego, this place reminds of a local taco shop in California. The flavors are more akin to the Mexican food you would find there. There is less cheese associated with the Tex Mex (which I love too) here in Texas. I got the Picadillo and Fajitas tacos. The tacos were small but comparable to street tacos in size at other places. This place is not as fancy as Torchy's or Rusty's Tacos. The quality is better than a fast food chain like Taco Cabaña or Taco Bueno. Will come back again. read more

Let me tell ya this, The outside made me a bit nervous but holy smoke was I wrong! Delicious,Delicious,Delicious! True mexican flavors! I was happy they customized my burrito no questions asked and I loved it. Had the: Tacos de Chicharron (pork skin) Burrito de carne asada with beans. Breakfast Burrito with chorizo,potatoes and beans. Just like my momma would make them. read more

This place is literally 0.3 miles from the condo, my husband has already been here a few times for breakfast tacos. I sent him for a pick up dinner. It is difficult to figure out what to order since you need to look at the blurry menu photos on Yelp - there is no website and no menu posted on Yelp. (My husband did ask for a paper menu that I was going to photo clearly and post, but they said they did not have any.) I ordered the #1 (might as well start at the top right?) a beef taco and a cheese enchilada. We also ordered a carnitas sope to split. The sope was my favorite, and would be perfect for a light (small qty, not diet) dinner. I really enjoyed the tacos, they obviously fry the corn tortillas in house. My lease favorite was the cheese enchilada, those really need to be eaten directly after assembly, the one was a bit cold and no cheesy stringy-ness. read more

First time visit. I ordered the sausage breakfast burrito. It was a very ample size for the price. I was expecting breakfast sausage but instead got smoked sausage which is fine. I love smoked sausage. It came with egg and potatoes. I wish it would have included beans. Anyway, it was ok. Too big for me to eat. read more

Wow San Diego Taco shop I was so skeptical one because the tacos in Texas don't always hit but mostly because I've had actual tacos in San Diego, but let me tell you these are some of the best tacos in Dallas truly & I'm from California lol. I had two carne asada tacos with everything and it was delicious! Fire like really authentic! I had the nachos also and they weren't bad but I'd stick to the tacos ! Also amazing agua fresca I had cantaloupe and it was 12/10 should have got a large. read more

The BEST Carne Asada Fries I can find in the metroplex! They used to be extreme great value around $7 but it has since upped the price to $9 but I would still on occasion order it. Frys are cooked perfectly, guac and smooth, the red sauce is SPICY, I forgot how spicy it was and threw the whole container into half of it. but no regrets! They can be inconsistent sometimes with the quality but its one of the best comfort foods for me. Fast service and they have a drive-through as well. I personally would pass on the tacos, burritos are fine, might need to try again. read more

Chicken is stale and no tender. Feels like rubber.! I don't recommend this place. Service is quick but taste is so so bad

Hard to find what I call "SoCal authentic" Mexican food in northern Dallas, but this place has it! A Carne Asada burrito with no unnecessary ingredients, just carne asada, guacamole, and pico de gallo, perfect. Ham breakfast burrito delicious as well. And good hot salsa! Great job guys! read more

The carne Burrito is sooo amazing, i highly recommend this spot if your burrito cravings come back..

I prefer the location on Story, but this one is closer to me. Carne asada fries are hit or miss. Sometimes they use steak fries, which is weird. Other times, they use regular French fries that are either way too undercooked or way too overcooked. I can't recall a time where it was just perfect at this location. Also tried their fish tacos, which run for $1.75 or something. Tell me why it's straight up a fish stick and a few pieces of shredded lettuce. Uhh what? read more

I come here at least once a week, for tacos or breakfast burritos. I work down the street so it's always a plus having a San Diego Tacos near me! The food is made fresh but the drive thru don't take ages like other taco spots. I recommend you try the California Burrito with Al Pastor meat. I attached the most current menu with prices for Nov 2022. Give it a shot if you work near, don't forget the chips and salsa with Warm salsa! read more

I finally found a place in Texas that knows what street tacos are. I was a little hesitant but with a name like San Diego Taco Shop, I figured they may know about street tacos. The carne asada street taco plate was delicious and the salsa was spicy and not bland. The service was great as well. read more

Great value for money! Has purely vegetarian options and tastes great too. The vegetarian burrito is a must try and their salsas go very well with the food. read more

Yum! My parents and I *FINALLY* paid this place a visit after driving past it for years. They live in the neighborhood and had assumed that it wasn't the best because it never looked busy from the outside, but I was convinced by the mostly positive reviews re: the authentic tacos. We ordered the desebrada (shredded beef) plate that was the special, a carne asada burrito, and 6 tacos--2x barbacoa, 2x pastor, 2x carnitas to go. I live in Seattle so I was floored that ALL OF THIS was only $19 with tax. What the what?!? Absolutely insane value! We ate all of it family style and thoroughly enjoyed it all, although I think the carne asada burrito was my favorite. I was also very impressed that the hot salsa was actually hot with good flavor, since I'm a spice fiend and frequently scoff at non-spicy salsas. Needless to say, my parents are now converts and we were all so happy we finally stopped by! Way to go, San Diego Taco Shop! read more

Been here once. Really cant complain. It was good, I would would go back. I had carnitas nachos, carne asada buritto, fried fish dinner. Everything tasted well cooked and would recommend. I have only been here once, but I would go again. read more

Just average. The menudo had no taste. Good taquitos, rice and beans. Service was fine. They are dog friendly which was a bonus.

Had the pollo asada burrito, it has guacamole in it and is pretty dang good. One burrito by itself can fill me up to the point where I'm content and I have an appetite. They give you 3 salsas without asking, the red is pretty spicy and the green is mild. read more

Whoa! What happened with the prices? Food was the same but $8.45 for two cheese enchiladas, rice and beans. Mind you this is mexican fast food in an old Jack in the Box on a Styrofoam plate, not a sit down restaurant. Just not a good value anymore. Sorry to say this was my last visit.. but I suspect it will be out of business soon either way. read more

Garbage. I ordered rolled tacos because who can screw up rolled tacos right?! THIS PLACE. Rolled tacos were not cooked through. No flavor. Disappointed and food was not just okay at max. This is the Second time I have tried this place and will not be returning back. Gave me two mini salsas and wouldn't give anymore without charging. read more

I have been craving REAL San Diego rolled tacos (I lived in San Diego 10 years). In Texas restaurants offer flautas as a rolled taco...umm no!! So after an exhaustive search I found this place. The rolled tacos are decent but they don't offer the red sauce like REAL San Diego rolled tacos. In fact, the order taker looked at me like I was crazy. Three stars for a pretty good rolled taco. read more
