Current daily specials as of 9.23.25

1st time . Hopefully it's good. Ordered their specials Taco Al Pastor and 3 monster rolled tacos with rice and beans. Tacos were great. Very flavorful and good size for the price. The 3 monster rolled tacos was also good based on my wife's feedback but in my opinion the price point is a little high ($12.99) Overall though I would come back and try there other menu items or with their daily specials.

It's been a couple of weeks but hope to get back on a Tuesday. Those tacos are worth going for. Only thing I've tried so far but I wish they were near me. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Clean restaurant, good service, & great tacos.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Stopped by for some rolled tacos. This place was pretty solid. They only have 1 option and its pork or beef (not sure) but theyre called the monster rolled tacos. But theyre topped with crema and guacamole on a bed of lettuce. Comes with a side of rice and refried beans. Those were pretty solid and tasty especially when combined with their salsa verde. The battered fish taco was pretty good too but the batter had some kind of seasoning which didnt add to the dish and made it taste a little different. I probably wouldnt get it again but it also wasnt bad. Overall, id come here again, id like to try their other items if im ever in the area again. The service was average and you get a free soda if you check in on yelp so that was cool.

the quesadilla was the star!
Jaz A S.

Got an amazing taco and a quesadilla with sour cream. I took the quesadilla to go. They give ample cheese and the sour cream was generous too. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I really like the open kitchen and the interior is very modern and clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will definitely be back to try different tacos they offer! Also, I recommend their house red salsa. It was amazing and I tasted garlic in it! One thing I was impressed with this they gave me a side of cilantro at no charge! Highly recommend Taco Lounge. There is easy street parking.

Side order of rice and beans for 2.99 each.

2.99 for a side order of rice and 2.99 for a side order of beans... you could eat both in one bite. Ordered a surf and turf burrito with no shrimp. Don't waste your time here, this is probably the worst taco shop I have been to. The food has no taste.

Carne Asada tacos
Anthony A.

Fist time here. It was nice. The place is clean, and the customer service is good. The prices are a little high for tacos. Well for me. I believe they were 3.79 for a carne asada taco. The Asada is cooked well and has decent taste. The Al Pastor is pretty good. The Monster roll tacos were very good. One thing I really liked, was the red salsa. It had a little heat, but more on the flavor side. The green salsa, was to tangy for me. I will come back to try their Protein Bowl.

The fish taco was bad... not crispy and tasted old fish
Josie N.

Went here for late lunch and saw a few post on insta so decided to try it out. I got the fish tacos, birria, and asada while my bf got the fish tacos. The fish taco was pretty bad, it was freezer burned or something but tasted old and the batter was soggy and not cooked till crispy so that was a fail. The birria lacked flavor and the asada was way over cooked. The corn tortilla looks house made but it's just very thick and wasn't really sturdy. They plus side they do give a little bag of chips.

a variety of tacoss on a table

Taco Lounge is our favorite local taco shop! They serve high quality ingredients each and every time! The staff is kind, consistent & super efficient. My favorite is the grilled shrimp taco. They use fresh avocados & the best chipotle sauce! My daughter's favorite is the carne asada tacos (& occasionally carne asada fries). We also love the Birria taco (pictured) & consommé. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We dine-in often and do take-out as well. Both dining options are great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Taco Lounge is clean & inviting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff sets you up with all of the necessary condiments. We appreciate everyone at Taco Lounge! Both locations! (Photo from Escaya location)

Fish taco
Kenny C.

Stopped by this place on a weeknight and definitely enjoyed our meal! We tried a fish taco, chicken quesadilla, and pastor bowl. The fish taco was OK (tortilla was a bit hard), quesadilla was awesome, and pastor bowl was tasty. Portion sizes are fair and prices were reasonable. There are daily specials during the week too - I'll definitely be back!

These are the small tacos. Carne asada tacos are good. The fish tacos are good. Recommend ordering for pick up.

Ask the Community - Taco Lounge

What type of fish is used in your fish tacos?

Duh. Frozen tilapia. Non sustainable I presume. As if sustainable means anything to the boat captions when the inspectors aren't onboard

40 min wait for tacos... is it really worth it?

i have never had to wait that long and i usually go on a Sunday but yes 100% worth it

How much do you charge for catering for about 50 people?

Hello, we charge $12 per person but we currently have a promotion at $10 per person and that includes choosing your protein or a mix of proteins (carne asada, chicken or pork) and we will include chips, beans and rice. Limes and salsas are included… 

Does taco lounge offer taco Tuesday deals?

Hello, yes we do!!!

You have to try this place!…read more It's one of my family's favorite seafood spots. I've had the pulpo tostada and taco multiple times and they're always amazing, super fresh and never overcooked. I usually get the macho sauce on the side so I can spice it up to my level lol. My family has also tried the tuna tostada, micheladas, chilaquiles, and even Dino nuggets for the kids, everything has been consistently great every time we go. The service is always on point, the ambiance is nice, and it's in a great central location. We usually stop by Wood Market afterward to grab a few things. Highly recommend! definitely a spot we'll keep coming back to. Also, shoutout to the Convoy location, it's just as good!

Love spending time with mom and sis. I was the one driving, and I got to choose this casual dining…read morespot. We got some chilaquiles! Even though we were a bit late for the breakfast menu, they still let us order the Smoked fish, Gobernador, and Pork Belly-quiles. I loved the flavors, and it had just the right amount of spice I prefer. I also had a Mango-rita that snuck up on me in a good way. We each tried all three plates, and all agreed they were sumptuous. Everyone running the restaurant was super friendly and accommodating to special diet needs as well. I'm glad we tried this establishment. It was quite busy that day, but there was still plenty of parking, and they had booths to sit and enjoy the experience. Portions were large - we all had leftovers to take home. I would love to come back and try more of the menu!

Sometimes, there are nights when only tacos can fix me. It's no secret that San Diego has tacos in…read morespades and being so close to the border, you'd think that a quest to find the perfect taco would be as simple as rolling down to the nearest taqueria. Except, it's not quite that simple. Many beloved staples have gone downhill, while some newer spots that might boast things like a Michelin mention or multiple locations ranging from TJ to Vegas contain more hype and gristle than tender meat and substance. Enter Chula Tacos. Chula is, and always was, the type of place that makes you forget that you're not actually in Tijuana. While part of me misses their OG Market Street location, seeing them with brick-and-mortars feels hard-earned and well-deserved. This location on Palm in IB is relatively easy to access from the freeway, but parking can be tricky. You can safely assume that it will be busy and you will either have to be very lucky or be willing to find a spot on the street. Out of all the times I've been here, it's always been crowded enough that I've never been able to find a table inside, but I enjoy sitting out on the patio next to the ahumederos. The first thing that hits you walking through the door is how amazing everything smells. The queue to the cashier takes you near a window showing the kitchen where you can see the Chula Tacos team making fresh tortillas, slicing meat from the trompos, grilling up jalapenos, nopales, onions, labio, and tripa. For me, it's not so much a challenge to decide what I want, it's more a challenge to keep myself from ordering everything. My usual is four tacos: two asada, two al pastor (but I've heard that I should also try their world famous keka). The tacos though? Perfection. Every time, the asada is the juiciest and most tender I've ever eaten, the al pastor is succulent and flavorful, and no taco in front of me is long for the world. At $3.50 each, every one of them is absolutely loaded. Three would honestly fill me up, but I always want four. After getting burned by spots that ask around 75% more and deliver anywhere between 25-50% less, Chula Tacos feels like an absolute godsend of a Tijuana-style taqueria and I can't see any other contenders being my go-to. So, when I say "Tacos will fix me," what I mean nowadays is "Chula Tacos will fix me."

Chula Tacos in Nestor is definitely worth a visit if you're looking for authentic, flavorful tacos…read morewith generous portions. Every item we ordered was packed with delicious flavors and made fresh. One thing that stood out was their attention to detail with to-go orders--they provided plenty of condiments, including a variety of salsas, cucumbers, radishes, and peppers, which really elevated the meal. The highlight of the menu is the Keka Taco. It is incredibly delicious, loaded with flavor, and so filling that it can easily satisfy even the biggest appetite. The only downside to this establishment is the limited parking, which can make picking up your order a bit challenging during busy times. However, the amazing food and generous portions more than make up for the parking inconvenience. If you're in the area, the Keka Taco is a must-try!

It's been awhile & I gladly like to update my review here up to 4 stars! One of my fav taco shops…read morein SD. At first I gave them a great review & last time not so great due to prices & portions. Well now over the years their prices are better than other taco shops & portions have gotten bigger. Tho they only have 3 tacos on the menu, Carne Asada, Birria, Adobada, they are good & they have one of the better Birria soup/broth in SD. Their carne asada is one of the best in SD, so juicy & soft I love it, their Birria taco is good too but I prefer their order of Birria or broth & their Adobada is ok just a bit too marinated for me. They also have burritos, tortas & Mullitas & I recommend the Carne Asada form in those because I believe they have one of the best Carne Asada meats in SD. The customer service is really good, cooks are cool & fast & the girls on the register are really nice & the place is always clean. And you know the best part, they have a dispensary/weed store next door so you can buy a joint & go smoke a joint in your car & then walk here & get a few tacos & Birria broth, now that's a perfect breakfast or lunch, tacos & weed go hand & hand baby :) Overall a good little hole in the wall taco shop if you don't want crazy long lines & good service & good tacos & Birria meat or broth this is your place. I even met the Baseball player Adrain Gonzalez here (you can see in my pics) & had tacos on the table next to him & talked baseball a bit & no I was not high, at that moment. So keep up the good job Poblano's & staff & see you soon amigos :)
