We ordered some crunchy tacos to go and it was the perfect meal for when you're at the beach. The restaurant wasn't busy when we went, but it looks like there's a lot of seatings. The service was fast and the food was stellar. The ambience is a chill typical Mexican restaurant. I would try other items next time

Haven been here in a decade and o remembered it being so good... my daughter and I were disappointed. The carne asada was tough and flavorless, the quesadillas could have used some moisture. Rolled tacos looked good with a mountain of cheese but they were filled with ground beef, not shredded. It was odd. The guacamole was alright. Seasons would have helped all of it. The restaurant was clean and the service was nice. It did say award winning burrito for breakfast. Unfortunately I would not return.

Beware! We got food poisoning here! Interior atmosphere is what drew us in, lots of surfboards on the ceiling and walls... very cool vibe BUT other than that I do NOT recommend. The service was short witted and unwelcoming- oh well, maybe she had a long day? The food was unfortunately lacked any flavor, I forced myself to finish my meal. Rice was bland, the carne asada tacos were alright but nothing to rave about, and the burrito was improperly wrapped and we ended up having to use a fork to eat it (not a big deal blah blah blah) -BUT!!! The sad part was both my partner and I got food poisoning from our meal. It was our last meal before we went home and now we're sick as dogs on an airplane. This sucks to write, I hate to be critical. But yeah, not exactly stoked about our experience here.

Potato Crispy Taco  Classic ... crisp... and delicious ! Everything is really good here!

Classic :) simple ! Love the hot sauce and everything is delicious here .... I always park farther down and walk because parking isn't the greatest but it's worth it to be honest!

The service here was great! The person at the register was very inviting and helped me choose between options. Of course, the interior is super cool, with a bunch of surfboards and stickers all around. Chicken Asado Torta ($15)- Huge portions, very flavorful and juicy. The meat was tender and juicy. I'd recommend putting the salsa verde for a kick.

Cute and inviting taco joint not far from the beach. Came in right when they opened for some breakfast burrito. They had a wall showcasing their past awards and I somewhat approve. The burrito was HUGE and full of ingredients but lacked in taste. Really liked the tatertots - a nice twist just wished the meat was tastier :( Place is cute and clean. Lady in the front was just ok. Not much love in the encounter.

Food was great. Cashier was not very friendly or inviting. She was attending to to-go orders for an extended time before focusing on the people in line. But the service overall quick. The burrito was great. The decor is cute with surf board decorations but I didn't eat in the restaurant. I got the Surf and Turf burrito. It was very large and had a great amount of shrimp and steak. Would absolutely order again..

A must visit when you're in Pacific Beach. Great variety of California Mexican food options. The Shrimp tacos were excellent. Hot sauce had a good kick. Potato filling was only ok for the rolled tacos, probably skip it. Burritos were big and filling

Just had the fried fish tacos...amazing. Great beach atmosphere. We will definitely be back.

A little disappointed that the burrito size here appears to have gotten much smaller. What was one a huge hunk of meat is now nearly the size of a Taco Bell burrito. New pic added for comparison. My hands are very tiny and so was this Cali burrito :(

The burrito was so huge it could have fed 2 without a problem. Carne asada and beans could both have used a little more flavor. The orange bang drink tasted like an orange creamcicle. The staff were nice. Nice open atmosphere inside.

One grilled and one fried fish taco with rice and beans.

Loved the food here!! The line go by super quick so don't get discouraged if it looks long. Inside…read moreyou basically go to the station of the food you want, and they have signs stating the food so you know where to go. The adobada was what I was most excited for. It's similar to Al pastor without the pineapple though. The meat was tender and the flavor was authentic. My partner liked this one the most! What shocked me was the carne asada. The taco was delicious!! It had a wonderfully smoky flavor to the meat and it was juicy and tender. I have been craving it ever since!! This was my favorite. There's no seating downstairs but if you go upstairs you'll find some tables! Be warned that it's hot upstairs. But since you chow down the food quickly you won't be there for too long anyway. If you're visiting San Diego, this is a must!!

Pretty good tacos. I always hear people saying there are better choices, but if you're in SD I…read morethink it makes sense to try this place at least once. I remember this place being super busy for the most part, but we came in with a short line, though it was still pretty busy. Definitely come here for the adobada tacos and always ask for pineapples to add on top on them. It's the perfect balance of salty, sweet, and spicy. The asada tacos come with a nice heaping amount of guac. Love the smokey flavor in the tacos. I also always get cabeza tacos and these were great. My only knock was that the tacos are pretty small for what you get and I guess the prices keep going up. I seems like $4 per taco is the standard for these kind of places. Also, this place was hot and humid, especially if you choose to eat upstairs. Came here on a hot day, but literally no AC running.

Wanted to try some tacos while out here and this one had good reviews. It was also near our hotel…read morewe were staying at in Gaslamp. They have drawings all over their walls which was fun to look at. They have a few specials which are a good deal if you're going to get a drink anyway. I love c that c they had a self serve salsa bar. Must get the chipotle shrimp taco! 10/10 with flavor. Battered fish taco was ah ok.... Salmon taco was great too 10/10. Service was prompt. We had chips and salsa while we waited so it was cool. Overall, I recommend checking this out and trying the chipotle shrimp and salmon taco!

I stopped by on a Wednesday after a fútbol game and found it to be a great late-night option…read more Ordering is simple. You walk in, place your order at the counter, and find a seat. There were a couple of groups dining in and someone picking up a to-go order, but there was still plenty of seating available. The employee working the counter was friendly. They also serve alcohol, and during my visit drinks were 20% off. Options included Pacifico, Modelo, Blue Moon, hard seltzers, and a selection of canned craft beers. I ordered: * Mahi Mahi Taco: the fish tasted fresh, and I liked the crispy onions on top. There was quite a bit of sauce, which made it pretty messy to eat. While the fish was good, it felt like a very heavy taco overall. * Surf & Turf Taco: this was loaded with steak and topped with two flavorful shrimp. The shrimp had an amazing flavor, and this taco was much more enjoyable and balanced. Overall, the service was great, the prices were very reasonable, and the protein quality was excellent. My only critique is that the tacos felt a little overdone with toppings and sauces when the quality of the protein could easily stand on its own. Still, it's a solid spot for an affordable late-night bite. One thing to note: there are no restrooms available inside the restaurant.

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!
