    OMG. The tacos are probably one of the best tacos I've ever had. I had the carne asada and the Adobada tacos and they certainly did not disappoint. The asada was full of flavor, maybe a smidge salty for my taste but nothing a little lime can't fix. The Adobada came straight off the trompo and was crispy and fatty. Definitely use the lime to cut through the fattiness. The avocado was a nice touch and smoothed everything out. I wish I could rate it more than 5 stars. My food came out quick and the people behind the window were so nice. The space is small and very limited seating, but these are lovely on the go for sure. Come and show Tacos Minali some LOVE.

    I went because of the hype taco fiend had and I was so disappointed the aguas frescas tasted so watered down, the tacos were so dry I felt like I was gonna choke you couldn't tell the difference between any meats just such bad food I got carne asada, adobada, pollo and chorizo. Only one that tasted different was the chorizo because it's chorizo but nonetheless dry I'm giving one star because the service was okay

    Carne asada taco and adobado taco with everything

    Was visiting SD from LA and could not go back to LA without having some SD Tacos/Burritos. I did some research and found these guys. Went in a Saturday night around 6. Really friendly chill staff working there. Ordered a carne asada taco and a Adobado taco with everything. This was really good, so good in fact I ordered two more. Prices are great and the complimentary consommé was very good. Not greasy at all. They had a dude there grilling the meats so I knew I was in for a treat. Highly recommend.

    I never write reviews but seeing this place getting slammed is wild!! Maybe bad days or they had just opened. I saw the negative reviews because I came on here to get the address to send to people. I go here 2-3 times a week. It's awesome! Nice people, fantastic food, great prices. These are the best tacos i've had in SD. I will admit, I have only tried the Carnitas and Birria tacos. They are so good I can never change. Also, ask for the complimentary "Birria Soup" which comes piping hot in a small white cup and I drench my tacos in it. Taco's with everything includes onions, guac, salsa and probably some other toppings I haven't noticed while pounding them down. Also cilantro, so if you don't like cilantro make sure to ask to hold it. You will also get cucumber slices, radish slices and lime wedges all complementary. Orders usually take 5-10 mins depending on how busy it is. There are also some really tasty hand made mexican style beverages available but I don't remember the names off-hand. Ask them... One is purple. English isn't the best so I sometimes use google translate to help. There is a nice little seating area outside there and they also pack it to go very well. Enjoy!!

    This place had just opened on the corner a few months ago which was close by and the sign said prices $3.50. I thought how much could a quesadilla be. I received two extremely greasy tiny tortillas with a little bit of avocado that seemed old and was charged $4.50. I'll never go back.

We got our customary classic Old Fashioneds and they were definitely delicious. My wife then got a Mezcal Old Fashioned and it was surprisingly delicious. The bartenders were very attentive, gracious, and fun to be around. We then got our food which was 50% off because of the happy hour. We got cochinita tostaditas, carne asada quesadilla, and pastor quesadilla. The portions were just right. All 3 items were very delicious! The restaurant/bar was full and the atmosphere was very pleasant. We've been here a few times and will continue to return!

The carne asada was my favorite out of the three. I'm knocking down a star because the carnitas were pretty mushy and bland. If you like spice, ask them for their habanero hot sauce! It has a major kick so a little goes a long way. I also ordered the chips and guac which came with a huge bowl of house made tortilla chips and huge dollop of guac on top. This was some of the best guac I've ever had so I recommend this as a starter for the table.

I had to take photos in night mode so it looks a lot brighter than it actually is. If you are going with someone older or who has trouble seeing in the dark, they are not gonna see anything lol 3. I heard reservations were required months out but i went in the same day. It was the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend around lunch time but they took walk ins left and right so maybe just dinner is what needs to be booked in advance? The decor was immaculate and everything that came out was delicious and it came out very fast. It is connected to the Lafayette hotel which has the jungle room, bowling alley, pool and multiple bars. You can easily spend the day here. Mmmm not if you have kids though. 10/10 recommend

Our server was attentive at first, but later in the evening it became difficult to find her when we needed things like water refills. We ordered the Oaxacan fondue, ribs, grilled fish, and chicken tacos. The stars of the meal were definitely the Oaxacan fondue and the ribs -- both were flavorful. Unfortunately, the grilled fish was a disappointment and didn't live up to the rest of the dishes.

    Delicious food, great view, and wonderful hospitality!…read more On our last evening in San Diego, we went to Coasterra to wrap up our vacation there. This restaurant came highly recommended by major Visit San Diego websites, and we felt we should give it a try. Located right next to the water, the restaurant offers expansive view of the harbor and the San Diego skyline. Sitting is about 50/50 indoor vs. outdoor, and we chose the indoor sitting as it tended to get colder in the evening. Parking is available out front, but we took Lyft there. We came in around Happy Hour, and we were able to score two appetizers for $11 each. We got fried calamari and fish cervice as appetizers. For entree, we had the fish tacos and scallops. Both of the appetizers were excellent, and the cervice was so light and flavorful. My husband loved his scallop entree, and the taste and presentation were original and outstanding. My fish taco was enjoyable as well. For dessert, we had fresh churro that was paired with ice cream, which was excellent as well. Our meal came to $143 with taxes, which was a very good value with the quality and services offered. Our waiter was attentive and friendly, which made us felt right at home. As for the ambiance, it felt modern and relaxed. There were diverse customers from locals, tourists, and business people. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience and we will return.

I also ordered the Island Getaway cocktail and it was okay. A bit too strong on the rum. Other than that, food was good. Service: Our server, Jack, was very polite, attentive, and even brought us complimentary desserts for our special celebrations. His service is the reason I am rating this visit a 4 instead of a 3. Good job Jack! You redeemed my overall impression of Coasterra based on my prior negative experience. Ambiance: Overall, its quite a beautiful location with the city skyline views. Cant beat the views.

    The name might be Puesto but the food was PRESTO!!…read more Never been here before but I will ABSOLUTELY return in the future. From start to finish, everything was wonderful and I will NEVER forget my experience. We were met immediately with great service as well as continuing to receive it from every member of staff including our lovely server. Every other member that brought out our food & drinks was just as delightful. The weather was perfect to be seated outdoors in their patio, it matched the relaxing and enjoyable vibe we had. The food, I mean, the FOOD was undeniably delicious and full of flavor. I've literally never had a better taco anywhere else. The Al pastor was exceptionally juicy and tasteful and I'm so glad I went with my go to because it's a meal I'll never forget. The Agua Fresca were so refreshing too, sweet but not overly sweet, just the right balance. Overall, I have another new favorite when I come back out again.

It was nice being able to watch the tacos being made. We got Classic Guacamole in addition to the chips and salsa. The guacamole was excellent, it had a little more lime than I usually find, it was nice and fresh. The chips were fresh too! We weren't starving so we each got 2 Tacos and were very happy with them. We got grilled Baja Fish Tacos, Tamarind Shrimp, Carnitas, and Filet Mignon. The last 3 were recommendations of our waiter; they were right on. It was a great way to celebrate a birthday.
