Not a fan... We decided to give this place a try because it's close and we've heard good things about it. Definitely not a fan! Prices are pretty high for subpar food. Carne Asada was super fatty and chewy and my burrito was under seasoned, my sons tacos were salty. My husbands burrito was full of fatty meat. My daughter said her mushroom tacos were ok so that was cool I guess. Am I missing something here because there are a lot of good reviews... did we just visit when they were having an off day? read more

Love tacos here and their service is fast. Shrimp tacos are the best. The restaurant is clean

The menu has expanded from just a year a go. And I think I've tried pretty much everything here. And I have to say I like them all. The meats are seasoned well and the overall presentation of the food is always on point. The salsa bar is nice because their salsas are in squeeze bottles. So it's convenient to get salsa to go or right onto your food. Their staff is friendly and the place is always clean. I have to call them out and say sometimes their fries are a little soggy. And their burritos are on the smaller side. Other than that, I really like Taco Lounge and what they bring to the neighborhood. BTW the daily specials are great. Especially Taco Tuesday's!! read more

Taco Lounge - Rolled Tacos and a Carne asada torta - Tacos Near Me - Chula Vista, California

I ordered out of here a few times because of its walking proximity. I've tried a variety of their tacos (steak, pork, fish, and chicken) and burritos. The food is average and sometimes dry. The guacamole is meh. The best part is the sauces they offered, which I appreciated for adding flavor to my food and that they offer take out. read more

Okay, housesitting my parents home and Doordash has me trying out new places I would never think to order from! My husband and I ended up order Taco Lounge for dinner, he ordered a Birria quesadilla and I ordered carne asada fries. When it first arrived I was very underwhelmed, my fries were a little plain no onions or tomato's, the fries were soggy and there very little flavor in the meat, the one saving grace was the hot sauce, I wish they would have given more than 4 hot sauces, 2 of each, but both of them were very flavorful. As for the birria quesadilla, there was way too many onions, I'm an onion girl and there was way too many! It was a little disappointing to be honest. read more

I paid for the quesatacos which are an extra fee. When I notified them not only did they not apologize the gave me cold cheese on the side. 6.43 for a cold taco read more

Taco Lounge - Tacos Near Me - Chula Vista, California

Ordered al pastor fries yesterday and currently dying on the toilet from food poisoning. 1/10 would not try again.

A nice clean little spot in the neighborhood.The food here is decent and hits the spot. I've been here a few times and the food has never been hot, always warm. Service is great, they're always friendly. Parking can be annoying at times because if there's none you have to park pretty far. read more

Annoyed. By the time I got home (I don't live far at all), the LITTLE BIT of guacamole they did put on my rolled tacos was black! Tacos were soggy because they place them on a bed of cold, wet lettuce. Meat was very under seasoned with no taste at all. Same for the birria taco. Meat was flavorless, chewy and tough. I won't be back. read more

Taco Lounge - My Cali burrito after 3 bites . THE SMALLEST BURRITOS IN TOWN. - Tacos Near Me - Chula Vista, California

Great authentic Mexican food. Good customer service. Food was fresh and the wait wasn't long to receive our order. Clean, well organized taco shop. Definitely better than other taco shops in the area. We ordered the 4 carne asada tacos, carne asada fries, carne asada burrito plus 3 surf and turf tacos. Reasonable prices and portion sizes. Parking can be a nightmare depending on the time of day. Must share to do the Yelp check in for the soda. Will return in the future. read more

Small stylish taco shop on E. Palomar. Friendly and efficient service. Employees are wearing masks and adhering to safety protocols. Ample seating and limited street parking. Ordered 3 california burritos. Food was prepared quickly and included sliced limes, salsa, and napkins. The burrito was subpar and included fries, semi seasoned steak, and sour cream. The star of this taco shop is definitely the flour tortillas and salsa. read more

First time trying the portobello fries, they were really good but I wish the fries were a bit crispier they were soggy. The size medium is more like a size small perfect for one person. I added lemon and the green salsa was amazing. Cool too spot right in the corner, good customer service as well :) read more

Taco Lounge - Vegan fries ! :D - Tacos Near Me - Chula Vista, California

just had the worst experience coming here. I called and no answer for over an hour. Came to see why and the girl literally was misting the calls. I could see from my car that they were purposely not answering which was super annoying. assuming I didnt speak Spanish the cashier told a female employee "oh she was the one calling" they made up this crazy story the phone wasn't working like yeah right. then they made my tacos wrong and the girl was trying to tell me I told her my order wrong. I come here often but this will be my last. so disappointed. also my tacos were just AWFUL cold and stale it wasn't worth my money honestly. read more

I had their bean burrito and it was alright. I wasn't sure about the cheese they used. I think that threw off the taste of the burrito. So this time they get 3 stars. I'll try them again to see if I get the same feeling read more

Great taste, fast service and their salsas are really good. My go to for their bean burritos.

Taco Lounge always hits the spot. I love their different tacos options. My favorite are the Al Pastor and Shrimp Taco (Ensenada Style). Today I ordered their rolled tacos. What I like about their rolled tacos is that they keep it simple, but very tasty. I also like their different options on quesadillas. Today, I had the carne asada quesadilla and it was great. I also enjoy their different salsa options as well. If you are in the Otay Ranch / EastLake area of Chula Vista, stop by Taco Lounge. You will not be disappointed. read more

I want to say this place was hot trash but my food wasn't even warm when I got it. It took 30 minutes to get my order with only 1 person before me. When I finally got my food, it was wrong. I was given a chicken taco when I ordered an al pastor one. My rice was so undercooked it was still crunchy. The beans were definitely straight from the can. The Carne was OK at best. They get an extra redeeming star just for the good salsa, which I doubt they even made. read more

I was skeptical of this place but I will be coming back! Being born and raised in Chula Vista and being used to crossing the border into TJ to get 50 cent tacos, I was very skeptical to find a good taco place close to home. I love how you can choose between homemade flour or corn tortillas and that they do not skimp on the meat! I loved the flavor of the al pastor tacos!! Don't forget to check in on Yelp for a free can of soda. I honestly like this place better than Tacos el Gordo and will be recommending this spot to others. $2.50 per taco is pretty pricey though, but I went on taco Tuesday where tacos are $2 each, which is worth it. I hope they add an actual salsa bar and bring in the option of grilled green onions! And that they get a liquor license to sell beer. I would come here for beer and tacos every Tuesday!! read more

We have been customers since they opened years ago, but we ordered today and the taste and quality has definitely declined. We ordered birria, asada, and pastor tacos and they were stale, flavorless and the meat was gummy. Sorry to say that they have lost customers today. read more

A "al pastor" taco and a "pollo adobada" taco were in order when I stopped by this Taco Lounge. The tacos were $2.50 each. A little pricey for these size tacos. Both tacos came loaded with their respective proteins, but for some reason, the chicken adobo and the al pastor's pork meat were a little on the dry side. Both had very good flavor, but it was hard getting over the dry meat. The tacos came single wrapped on a warm soft yellow corn tortilla, should of probable been double wrapped, but they work for the most part, except for the one with the chicken, given it kinda fell part with all the ingredients. Both tacos came with a dollop of freshly made guacamole which was quite tasty, and both tacos came with the appropriate amount of fresh chopped cilantro and white onions. I was kinda bummed they did not have a salsa bar and nor offer corn tortilla chips. Service was very nice and the ladies in the kitchen were in good spirits while the gents were kinda grumpy for some reason. Smile people! read more

Had to wait 30 minutes so I was expecting fresh tacos, I wasn't too bothered. However, once I got home and unveiled the fish tacos I was greeted with a fish the size of a chicken nugget. It is the saddest fish taco I have ever seen. I tried not to be dissuaded by this and went to my carne asada tacos and wow, they were colder than my grandmas corpse. I wonder what they were doing during the 30 minutes they had apologized for making me wait. read more

Best surf and turf burrito and fish tacos in Otay Ranch. We eat here every week or two, the workers are so nice and the food is always fresh and delicious. read more

A hidden gem nestled in Otay Ranch. I tried the vegan taco (portobello), birria taco, al pastor taco, and some of the surf and turf burrito. Everything was really good and reasonably priced. Tacos are a normal size but packed with not just meat but flavor. Don't know why I only found out about this place recently, but I can see myself coming here often, especially for the tacos! It was a weekday night, so not very busy. Service was quick! Barely 10 minutes and we were on our way with our to-go order. read more

Area this is located in is convenient for the neighborhood there (upper class Otay Ranch). Very clean area. The food itself is pretty well proportioned. Their monster rolled tacos are noticeably wider than your average rolled tacos which justifies the price spike (its $8.99). The rice and beans though are literally about a spoon and a half or so in that meal. Their salsa bar is efficient as the sauces are in bottles for you to squeeze into the little plastic sauce cups. I'm interested in the street tacos next round here. Parking are one hour stalls in front. read more

UPDATE: Went back to the restaurant today and the cashier confronted me about my review wanting to clarify what happened. He denied my review and said he "didn't know" why I wasn't charged extra for previous requests. He then pointed at me and yelled at the kitchen staff "he's the guy that posted the review!". Man... way to go from bad to worse! read more

I have ordered from here several times because I love their Carne asada tacos! However this time around I ordered via Doordash and had my tacos delivered. I was surprised that there was a lot of tough fat that I had to pick out. This is not typical because I have ordered here before and the food was delicious. However, they missed the mark today with the amount of untrimmed, tough fat which made my tacos unenjoyable. Despite that, there was alot of meat and toppings. Two tacos is enough to make you full. Also, I did enjoy the fresh corn tortillas and the tasty salsas. I may give it another shot but I prefer Lolitas over this. read more

Ordered a California burrito that was awful. I was totally disappointed. It lacked flavor

This was a great experience to check out this place. I could not believe that a taco shop can be this clean tidy and organized. Great specials and it was supreme quesadilla that day besides tacos and cali burritos. All were amazing to taste with a feeling of hygienic food. Salsa bar had all types of salsas and veges and so were the drinks. Can't get enough of their menu! read more

Good little taco shop. Been coming here for awhile now & as time goes by they have improved in portions, customer service, options & flavor. They got good specials too like $2.99 Mulita Monday's & $5 Torta Wednesdays. Tacos are $1.99 on Tuesday's, tacos ain't that big but their a good size. They show Yelp love too, if you check in on Yelp you get a free soda can. They just added shrimp tacos & Roll tacos too & orders of birria which is pretty good. I've had many items here, my favorite is anything with Carne Asada here, they have great Asada here & that's a big plus now a days in taco shops! A lot of shops now use wack Carne Asada or they just use Beef like Lolitas & that's why Lolita's is a white wash taco shop, yeah I said it. This shop is legit, great Carne Asada & I like their birria it's flavorful & love their tortas especially on Wednesdays when their $5. The burritos are a good size, the breakfast burritos are good try the ham one or chorizo. Salsa bar is ok & the the place is clean & well kept inside. Parking can be a bit rough at times but you can just park in the back if needed. Over all it's a good little taco shop that I enjoy going too & sometimes go out my way to go too. They have a fan & customer in me, keep up the good job Taco Lounge & see you soon especially on your special days, yeah I'm a bit cheap sometimes, no shame baby, the less I spend the more tacos I can buy...Tacos Por Vida! read more

Very disappointed with this place. I got three CA burritos and added guac; they were so expensive and they were not good. The meat was so bad I literally kept spitting hard pieces out. The fries were soggy. The horchata was good and they gave us some red rice, for some reason, on the side which was tasty albeit a bit greasy. The red salsa was awful. The green was okay, the salsa macha was good. The service was good and the location was nice with a good atmosphere, though not much parking. Their menu looked good but my food was not worth returning here for. I only wrote this because I decided to just stop eating my burrito halfway through and now Im still hungry :(. read more

My family and I came here before going to a concert, it was our first time here and honestly our last. My mom ordered the "monster" rolled tacos but there was nothing "monster" about them. Also, she barely got any guacamole. My sister ordered a bean and cheese burrito and she could tell the beans had been sitting there for awhile. I ordered carne asada and birria tacos but I did not get the traditional birria sauce with my tacos!! On top of that, the carne asada was very dry. I only gave this place two stars instead of one star because the horchata was good and so was the service. But there's MUCH BETTER Mexican food options out there! read more

As i drive by after picking up my son and see "taco lounge" and i decided to give it a try.... because of the catchy name and location! Was the juice worth the squeeze? YES this place is a new hidden gem! Very clean inside and out... downfal is they do not offer free refills on drinks but thats ok! The $5 breakfast burrito is really more of a $10 burrito with as large as this portion is! Potato, egg, beans and your choice of meat? For $5 and change? I would take a picture of my burrito but all that is left is just the wrapper! This place is worth a try! They dont have tacp tuesday specials yet but they said soon and i cant wait. Inside of the resturant is nice and cozy and pleasant very bright woth natural light and you can see your food be prepared if you would like! read more
