We frequently visit this establishment while at work so this was not my first visit. The first time I had the lengua tacos (beef tongue) they were SO good. Next time I shared an ample size of csrne asada fries, so good. Today I had the shrimp plate with rice & beans. Seasoned well but the only disappointment were the beans. Extremely dry. It had to have been a bad day for the cook so everything is worth coming back for. read more

Small unassuming taco spot on Broadway with one of the cheapest tacos in the area, $3 for a taco and $8 for 3! Tacos are a bit smaller but still flavorful. Friendly service and not really crowded, maybe because it's easy to miss but you definitely shouldn't! read more

We are visiting the city from central New York and have had breakfast burritos for the past 3 days. These burritos were our favorite! Very fresh and flavorful. The person working was very helpful and got bonus points from me for his attention to hand hygiene! Small place without much seating, we took ours to go and ate at our hotel's roof deck! read more

Simple and delicious tacos. Has the shrimp, adobado, and carne. Just meat, pico de gallo, and guacamole, the way tacos were meant to be. And affordable for sure. read more

Wanted a quick lunch and decided to try something new instead of El Gordo. Cashier was nice and friendly. Small store and few seats. Prices were reasonable. 3 Rolled Tacos: $7.99 Price is good. Flavors were good overall. Salsa fresca, sour cream, guac, lettuce, cheese toppings on top of a crispy rolled taco with shredded beef. Beef flavor inside was just okay. Could be seasoned more. Freshly fried. 4/5: Would definitely recommend you to try them! First time having rolled tacos in SD and I'd order these again. Carne Asada Taco: $2.99 Price is good. Beef was seasoned, but the smoky char wasn't there for me. Tortillas were okay, but could've been better. Good toppings on the taco though. It was an okay taco, but I'd try the other ones next time. 3.5/5: I would recommend trying the others to see if they taste better. Side note: They have an every day special for 3 Tacos Carnitas or Suadero for $7.99 that I will try in the future! Overall, give them a try. read more

This is an update to my previous review. I went here again the other day and, while I was getting my salsa from the salsa bar (yum! And most of the other taco places around here dont have salsa bar), I accidentally left my umbrella on the table. After I left, I got about a block down the street and the owner caught up to me to make sure I got it back. 5 stars, amazing service! You got a customer for a long time now sir! read more

Came here twice in my last trip. Best bfast burritos and homemade salsas ever. Well worth it

Friendly customer service. The cook knew the menu very well. I ordered a chicken burrito. The chicken was dried as if the chicken had been overcooked or recooked a little too much. There's a salsa bar. The salsas were watered down as there was hardly any taste. The green salsa is ok. Good prices on food in comparison to other similar local spots. read more

Very fast. Delicious. The cashier was very friendly I felt like they were glad to have our business. The crispy chicken taco is the bomb. This place is small. They grill up the food in front of you. Hot in there. Cute. Stop by for a bucket of tacos. read more

Hit this spot for a quick dinner while staying at a downtown hotel. Was right before closing and the cook made me some fresh rolled tacos that did not disappoint.

Service was fast and friendly, even right before closing up. read more

I am giving this place 5 stars in relation to other "hole in the wall" taco shops in SD! One man working his a$$ off here serving delicious Mexican fare...he was hustling! I ordered the Pollo Asada plate which came with rice, beans, and a small salad...delicious and plentiful! It was about $13 and worth it...filling. I also had a fish taco which was packed with good stuff! I recommend this little place for taste, value and service! I'll be back! read more

After a night out at the bar with friends, they wanted to stop here for late night/early morning snack as is tradition. For such a small place there is a variety of food options. I ordered just a churro since I wasn't hungry and I was disappointed, my churro was not crunchy and on the underdone side even though it took a while to come out. There is no AC so in the summer the place was sweltering even late at night, thought there was a long line it moved at a good pace, just not place to really sit down as there are only a few stools and a couple of tables that get filled quick. I advise for the future to just order the tacos with your favorite meat of choice they come out with plenty of filling and satisfyingly hot, the toppings here for the tacos are so good. The location can be a little on the dicey side, as a we were walking here a fist fight broke out on the kitty corner but I was impressed at the fast response of local cops on bicycles and even had a police van there in minutes. read more

DELICIOUS almost like I was in TJ ! Felt good to have some tacos very similar to where I came from!

Better than Tacos El Gordo! Great value. Owner takes pride in the quality. Super flavor. Give it try!

A unique Mexican place surrounded by pizza stands that's open late at night. Arriving San Diego late in the evening I found myself feeling hungry. The pizza along fifth street didn't satisfy my hunger so I followed a sign that directed me to tacos. A small hole in the wall kind of place. I was next in line and was stuck in deciding to get rolled tacos or a california burrito. I ordered two drinks (Pina and hibiscus) and two carne Asada tacos. Then I asked the cashier who also happens to be the owner whether I should get a california burrito or rolled tacos. Be mindful it is 1:30 am in the morning surrounded by people consumed by alcohol. The response of the owner/ cashier "are you kidding me!?! Your wasting my time, give me your money!" I was confused at first, I just told the cashier I'll just get the california burrito. The cashier just made a comment "unbelievable, I eat a california burrito every morning! I am not kidding!" At this point I was irritated by the comments of the cashier. The cashier prolly assumed I was a person consumed in alcohol but didn't realize I was sober. My experience in this establishment costumer service was terrible. As for the food. My expertise in Mexican food comes from the varieties of establishments I have tried such as tacos el gordo, Alberto's, albertas, tacos from Mexico, homemade Mexican food from close friends. The carne Asada tacos I'll give it a 4/10 The carne Asada seasoning was okay had a lack in flavor. It didn't have the color when you grill it over a flame. California burrito 5/10 Not the best california burrito I had but if your drunk and hungry and there's no other taco stands around then this will be okay. Guacamole had no flavor or seasoning. Fries was okay, it wasn't to soggy nor too crispy. Carne Asada wasn't the best. Salsa verde seemed to be watered down The pina and hibiscus drink was on point and tasted the same like in any other store. Would I recommend this to friends .... maybe if they were drunk. But as for a sober person I wouldn't recommend it. read more

Senor Taquero - California burrito. It was okay - Mexican Near Me - San Diego, California

Perhaps I eat here more than I care to admit - but that's because the food is such quality. I remember my first Bean & Cheese burrito from here. Upon my first bite - I noticed that the Beans were not refried.... They were actually Pinto Beans - and in the bean shape no less. Then the discovery of their Spicy Salsa, incredibly spicy but had such a flavor to it. Best of all was the freshness. Well over time, I've since expanded my horizon - starting with the California Burrito: which I always add the Beans to. It is seriously one of the best burritos in San Diego. I also really enjoy the Carne Asada Burrito as well - again add those beans. I've heard from others - that the Pojo Asada Quesadilla is good - but have never had one myself. Do to the addiction that is my love for their Burritos. Overall a very great place to get Mexican food. The service is always great - and everyone is super friendly. Even stopped in with my family one time - it felt like they went the extra mile to make them feel welcomed. Such a great experience. read more

So to tell the truth I wasn't even hungry. My buddy jrye was like we have got to get something to eat so I was like ok cool let do it. We got in here and I though it was sus but my girl was hungry too so I got one carne asada taco and it freaking changed my night. That you so much I will be forever grateful. read more

Divey deliciousness! It doesn't have the most polished look but the fish tacos are legit and the staff was friendly.

Love their tacos! Stopped by here after a night out in the gaslamp quarter. They had quite a few people coming through. But they were pretty quick with our order. I got two Asada tacos, two pollo tacos and their asada burrito. All were good! Especially loved their burrito! Will come back when I'm in the area and craving a quick Mexican bite. read more

First off.... OLE for being open into the wee hours of the night!! Just when I needed you, Senor Taquero! The guy behind the counter was so nice and friendly, really helpful too. I needed a taco or two and I couldn't decide (as usual) so he said I could mix my tacos and get one of each. Well, in that case, I'll have 3 and try all the ones I was curious to try! So, 3 tacos is what I had. Basically that's what my review is about too. Just great service, perfect hours and DELICIOUS tacos!!!! Small little place, so don't plan on going in to get comfy and stay a while. Loads of items on that menu too. I sat down next to a guy and I asked him if he was a regular, he said he'd just moved to San Diego a week ago but that he'd been to Senor Taquero's FOUR times during that week! Whoa! I was so ready to try these tacos after hearing that! Here are the 3 that I tried: ** Birria: which typically are my faves however I've never had beef birria (normally I have the goat) but it was really great beef, he said it's beef shoulder and cooked in the yummy tradiitonal birria style. Very juicy and full of flavor, loved this taco. It was my favorite. :) ** Adobado: I was looking forward to this one the most. Marinated pork with pineapple. Pretty good but a little dry and not a whole lot of flavor. Maybe an off night? ** Shrimp: Loaded with lots of shrimp and a ranchero sauce, pretty Mmmm if you ask me. I'd have this one again too. So, SI SENOR for late night tacos!! I would recommend. There are lots of items on the menu and I don't know how those are, but I really liked the tacos they hit the spot! CHEERS!!! read more

I got 4 tacos: fish, carne asada, lengua (tongue), and suadero. All were double tortillas filled with meat, salsa, and a sauce, and of course you could embellish with as much of your own extra toppings as you want (e.g. pickled jalapeños, onions, carrots & radishes, salsas, etc). Although they're not quite as large or gourmet as tacos from a more proper restaurant (that are usually $3.50-$4.50 each), for only $1.75 theirs are fresh made with fair portions of meat, they definitely fit the bill for cheap, quick, and decent taco joint served by a friendly staff, right in the middle of the popular GasLamp district. I'd definitely go back again. read more

The worst taco shop ever! I haven't written a review in a while but this brought me out of my shell. I used to eat often when they first opened few years ago. Then I had a delivery incident so I stopped. I tried again today because I remembered how good the food was. Huge mistake! A bowl of cereal would've been more filling & more flavor. Hell crackers & cheese would've been better. Taco Bell would I love been better!!!! I ordered a carne asada burrito and paid extra for sour cream and cheese. It came with salsa fresco & guacamole. As you will see from the pictures there was hardly any ingredients inside. Not to mention the meat was unchewable so half of it I couldn't even eat. The topper is the burrito was $7.25 which is ridiculous for the size of burrito that I got. Where the hell is the meat! Seriously, it was enough to make a taco. If I wanted tacos, I would've ordered tacos. People don't waste your money you will be pissed & hungry. If I could give 0 start, I would. Just imagine that's what you see. read more
