Taco Fiesta has quickly become one of my go-to spots, and the 24-hour drive-through is a huge plus. The workflow is a little different from your typical fast-food setup -- you order and then pull up to the window where they make everything fresh to order, so it's not the quickest process. But once you taste the food, it's easy to see why. I ordered the sopa (a Mexican sandwich), and it was genuinely impressive. The bread was perfectly toasted on the outside yet still soft in the middle, the meat was tender, and the seasoning tasted completely authentic -- not the watered-down version you sometimes get elsewhere. You can tell real care goes into it. I've also gotten the rolled tacos but much preferred the sopa's. If you're craving late-night Mexican food that actually tastes like the real deal, Taco Fiesta delivers. Just be prepared to wait a few extra minutes -- it's worth it. read more

Taco Fiesta is one of those classic taco shops that's been around forever for a reason. Affordable prices, huge portions, and consistently delicious food. I had the California burrito and rolled tacos late at night after a long day, and both absolutely hit the spot. Didn't get pictures of the food because I was tired and hungry and immediately started eating - which honestly says enough by itself. Great late-night spot and definitely worth stopping by. read more

Who works for you matters. CHECK YOUR ORDER BEFORE YOU DRIVE OFF! It's unfortunate to give 1 star, but with multiple errors, it's time for me to review. I really enjoy the food here. Ordered what I wanted. I know what I said and I know what I received. So simple: Plain Bean tostada, but what I got was a bean and cheese burrito. Price difference and female at register tried to tell me it was the same price. No it wasn't. I don't care if it's .50 or 2.00. My money is my money. Stop being lazy! I can't tell you how many times I have ordered sour cream, paid extra and got home to see there's no sour cream. read more

I grew up in the area, but have been away for several years. This is definitely not the place you should go to for a breakfast burrito. The ham they use is lunch meat ham from the grocery store thinly sliced. I found it to be pretty off putting. I do like their green and red hot sauce. They make those really well read more

Forget the overall rating as this place has some excellent food. And open 24/7. Here are my favorites. Chile verde plate and chile verde burrito are very good. They use high quality corn and flour tortillas which makes a big difference. Breakfast burritos are well regarded. They are not the monster size but a decent size and yummy. Chicken tostadas are substantial with a layer of refried beans and some delicious chicken stewed in a mild red sauce with nice big chunks of juicy chicken (not dry). Finally, the yummy chile rellano burrito is muy bueno. read more

Came here with a coworker on lunch as my coworker suggested it. It's a taco shop on the corner with outside seating. I love Cali burritos but never had one in San Diego, so that was my Mission. I had a cali burrito and a fish taco. Both were really good. The food came out pretty quick and the workers were nice read more

I used to come here 20 years ago for their Carne asada nachos. I finally came here again and they are just as good as I remember them. Prices are reasonable too. They actually give you a lot of salsa by default. It bothers me when other taco shops give you 2 red sauce for 3 burritos. This place hooks you up on the portions and on the salsa. Friendly staff and food is ready fast. Drive through or walk up to order. Very happy. read more

We left San Diego four years ago. Taco Fiesta on mission gorge used to be my favorite taco shop. When in town the other day, I stopped by to get my rolled taco fix. Unfortunately I was disappointed. The rolled tacos now have little filling in them and the toppings are very sparse. I ordered (5) rolled tacos with guacamole - The cashier argued with me because I asked for (4) of the small red salsas and she told me I could only have (3). Next time I'll visit Roberto's in Lakeside! read more

Best on the block for me. Cool spot out front to eat if you're too drunk to do the drive thru. For me it's the shredded beef taco, enchilada and toastada combo. Large Pepsi and three hot sauce read more

Surprisingly this was the only Mexican shop that we found that was opened on New Year's Day. It wasn't my first choice but it was opened for take out through the drive-thru. When trying a place for the first time, I always get the basic carne asada burrito. The burrito was on point but no guacamole. It's also slightly smaller than other nearby shops. Tortilla remained soft which I liked. The meat was not chewy and it had flavor. The fish burrito was the opposite. It was a bust. You can tell it was previously frozen and the batter kept on breaking and tasted all doughy. The service was super fast. There are so many other Mexican shops along this street that I haven't tried therefore I won't be returning here. read more

I come this place often I work near it, i had an horrible experience on 3/13/26, I was in the drive thru waiting on to get service for 20 min no one came to the intercom for at 25 min as I was sitting there, I screamed out several times if anyone was going to help me no one came it was one car ahead of me she had gotten her food already I was next in line and finally a lady came to the intercom I had 15 min left on my lunch to order my food and get back to work, to make a long story short the lady was unprofessional she was in a hurry to get my order after I've sat there for 20 min, She got my order incorrect because she was inpatient and unprofessional. Horrible service the food was nasty I do not recommend this place. HORRRIBLE SERVICE AND FOOD !!!! read more

This place has the worst service I have ever seen in my life . The only taco shop I know whose prices varies on workers meaning they make their own prices . I literally come here all the time for my son and get the exact same thing roll tacos the original price is 7$ and some change . They've charged me 8 something one time with cash and they are only suppose to do that with card but if you don't know any better they will GET OVER ON YOU . Today was my last straw be aware of the old men and the tall Hispanic they are the ones trying to access more money . Today they decide le for the same roll tacos they wanted to charge me $9 bever seen this price ever went and got my money back and I'm washing my hands with them and when t comes to the carne asada they are the most sting literally a teaspooonnof meat on carne asada fries your gonna get a bunch of fries fyi read more

Great large burritos. Rolled tacos were delicious! There usually is a wait bcuz they are usually busy. Cash discount. Cant complain!

Long overdue review! I go here at least twice a week for their burritos ! Amazing California burritos , delicious hot sauce and opened 24 hours. You can't beat it. read more

Appreciate the drive through (which I feel is majority of orders but they do also have walk-up). Easy to find on the corner of the street. Variety of items and unique items as well. Such as Hawaiian burrito which my boyfriend recently got (comes with ham, pineeapple, shrimp...). He gave it a 3/5. I agree on my one bite. It was good but has to be something you are in the mood for. They also have potato rolled tacos-those were yummy and their guac was freshly made and delicious all on its own. I ordered the #11(mixed burrito which is shredded beef & beans, beef taco, and rice). The two sides of rice were soft, fluffy, and tasty. I love RICE so was pleased with that. The beef taco was also super good and crunchy. I really like their red hot sauce, even bought a pint of it for $4. The beef burrito was mixed with beans and topped with enchilada sauce. I just wanted to try something different and although that burrito was not bad, i wouldn't order that item again. There was more beans than their was beef, but also the burrito itself felt like it was more tortilla than filling. I was not a huge fan of the enchilada sauce and would definitely not order a wet burrito again. It's my preference due to I like holding a burrito in my hands while eating, and that was not an option because it was quite messy to hold (I did briefly try it lol). Overall, I will be back since I have been coming here since my college days. I don't come often though, just when I'm in the area. And as far as I can remember, the drive through always has a wait. I've never experienced a fast wait time, but it's all good since I'm in my car listening to music. I appreciate the staff, they are super friendly with smiles. read more

Taco Fiesta - #11. Mixed Burrito with Enchilada Sauce, Beef Taco and Rice - Mexican Near Me - San Diego, California

Pass this place often so we thought we would give it a try tonight. Definitely won't be going back. Can't even say you get what you pay for because their prices aren't low. Husband ordered a torta and it came with little meat. I ordered carne asada fries and the meat was very little. Another downside was the meat that we did have was bland, little to no flavor. Meat was grey looking so not sure how it's cooked. Best part of the entire meal was the salsa. If you want good quick Mexican food I would recommend going to Cotijas. read more

Order the machaca burrito the meat was just dry the server was the worst Never Going To Hear Again also I had to tell the guy my order like three times and then when I get there he's wearing earphones over a beanie what the fuck would not recommend this place $14 for a piece of shit burrito read more

As a native San Diegan, I've never been more disappointed in a taco shop in my entire life. I don't know where to begin with all of the ways that this place dropped the ball... First, I ordered the 3 tacos & a side, and I was given 3 rolled tacos with no side. Then, I asked for red & green salsa twice, but I was only given red. Next, I ordered a side of rice and a side of beans, but I was given only a few spoons of each in the well of a styrofoam plate. The rice was undercooked and was crunchy, and the beans were probably the most bland refried beans that I've ever tasted. How do you screw up refried beans!? The Asada Deluxe Quesadillia was anything but deluxe... What made this deluxe? It was a few strips of meat and some cheese in a burned stale tortilla. In fact, the Carne Asada Fries was probably the weakest rendition I have ever seen. Sadly, the fries were small McDonald's type shoestring fries, the cheese seemingly consisted of melted clumps of cheddar, and the carne asada was not chopped enough. Just imagine McDonald's fries with clumps of cheese and strips of beef on top. Nothing more, nothing less... We are blessed to live in a city where there is a taco shop on every corner, so I won't be back until they step up their game to measure up to the competition here in San Diego, and take their craft a little more seriously. Based on the other reviews, it sounds like this place might be under new ownership, because the reviews were better in the past. I gave them 2 stars instead of only 1 star, because there might still be hope for them to restore their glory if they're willing to listen to their customers. read more

Nothing too crazy. Typical mexican food. This has become my local Taco shop since moving to the area. So far all the food Ive gotten here has been good. Its mostly drive through orders but they do have tables outside to sit and eat. They have only messed up my burrito once, which is pretty good for the amount of times I have been here. So Im not complaining!! Lol read more

Honestly, can't recommend this place to anyone. I've tried this place and had many items on the menu. I only come here because it's the only thing open at 3am in my area.

Great food with lots of flavor and wonderful service! The food always comes out delicious and fresh. Fair prices as well.

Even with the generous portions ($4.50/taco but it was double the size of a regular taco), the taste was extremely bland, dry, and forgettable. They did not even include limes with our order so there was no kick to it at all. The meat was barely seasoned, the al pastor was too lean (no fat = no flavor), and the tortilla was undercooked. Even the horchata was too sweet, almost like drinking melted marshmallow. This was an extremely disappointing experience given the plethora of good Mexican spots around here! read more
