    For $2 for chips & salsa I would EXPECT nothing but the crispiest, hottest, freshest, deliciousness chips but unfortunately I would not pay $2 for these the tacos were so mid!!! The veggie to steak ratio should be illegal.... 100 pieces of steak vs. one cilantro leave and 4 onion chunks -_- The kimchi taco was pretty good & the birria quesadillas was BUSSIN!

    Asada Taco and Crispy Shrimp Taco

    I got some late night munchies at Taqueria52 on Friday, Jan 17, 2025 at 10:30 pm. The establishment wasn't busy for a late Friday night for dine-in, but was more busy at the bar. Honestly, I wasn't that impressed with the tacos here. They looked and tasted pretty typical of tacos you would get from a taco truck. The presentation was elementary and lacked that restaurant quality. The asada was bland. The shrimp tasted like it was previously frozen. It really needed help with some more seasoning and I thought it could benefit some freshness from pico de gallo. The guacamole was such a small portion that I cannot really forgive for given the price of $8.50. I'm a huge chip dunker when it comes to guacamole and the entire bowl was gone after like 5 chips. The kicker here is when we ordered a second guacamole, it came out with even less portion than the first time. Although the service was friendly and nice, it was slow. It probably didn't help that we were sat in the back of the restaurant. It took a while for our orders to be taken. Overall, a pretty underwhelming experience in terms of both food and service.

    Jan. 17, 2025 Came with my sister and fam to try it out and was good. I ordered: - Al Pastor Taco - Birria Taco - Crispy Shrimp Taco - Guacamole dip (appetizer) The Gauc was good but it was a small portion. You might want to order 2 portion . I really loved the Birria Taco, my favorite out of the 3 I ordered. 2nd runner up will be the Crispy Shrimp Taco and then Al Pastor (there are slices of pineapple). I'll come back next time and try out their Korean Fried Chicken.

    I come here often and the only thing that keeps me coming back is the bartender ASHLEY... remember the name. She speaks Spanish and English and makes sure the tab is always correct. She lowkey be cheffing in the kitchen to make sure the order right. Pull up and ask for Ashley

    I didn't know they owned by my fav Tonkatsu spot Kisoya and Their fried whole chicken is amazing!!!! Tender and so well seasoned! Their taco also taste pretty good as well! But what best is it comes with an ice cream store and the ice cream taste amazing too! Got the Ube and Horchata flavor. They both taste strong and like how it should be. Highly recommend!

    This place is really close and if my receipt is correct (forgot to ask), our server was Kacy J, who was really awesome. It's nice and new and a cute place. We got complimentary chips and salsa, which was ok. I ordered 3 tacos, which was more than I can eat, substituting for flour tortillas and no white onions, but the guacamole and pico de gallo is decent. I had a birria (which I need to stop getting bc it's an oily one with cheese like a mini quesadilla, but that meat is really good!). I had a chicken and a steak, which they give a lot of meat and it was decent. K had an asada burrito, which he liked and said was super filling. He also ordered the spicy Korean chicken wings, which we both loved!! They should keep them year round and not just seasonally. K had apple pie flavored ice cream and he really liked it. I tasted the coffee ice cream and it was decent, but I didn't get any. I would come back for the wings!

    First things first, they're open till 1am so if you want a late night restaurant, this is the place to go. It wasn't as busy as I thought it would be so I was able to be sat immediately, and had to option to choose where to sit. I was greeted immediately and was brought water as well. After looking over their main menu and seasonal menu, we ordered 2 kimchi tacos, T52 fries (loaded fries), and the al pastor burrito. The total was around $30. I had my mom with me, so we ended up sharing everything we ordered, and she really enjoyed it and still talks about it to this day. For some context, this isn't the type of food she would normally enjoy, so for her to continuously talk about it it was pretty good. The reason I'm giving this place 4 stars instead of 5 is the service. As good as the service was, our server waited next to us for us to pay, even after we told them we would pay in cash. It not only puts pressure on the guests, but also the burden to leave soon. Overall, would come back though regardless of the service since it wasn't entirely bad.

    The food was really good. I didn't expect the guac and queso to be as good as it was. The restaurant is located in a nice cute little area. Paris Baguette is across the parking lot. Service was good also.

    Me and my husband decided to try out this taco place that's in the area and it did not disappoint…read more It's such a hidden gem, and I'm surprised it wasn't busy. We ordered drinks, apps, and tacos. Drinks were good! We ordered grapefruit paloma and a margarita. Ask for extra salt, if you like. The apps we went for was queso with chorizo, and it was yummy. The salsa was okay, it looked like it came from a jar, but otherwise I was fine with it since I was craving salsa and chips lol. I ordered 3 tacos: 2 carne asada and 1 barbacoa taco. They were so good! Their corn tortillas definitely look handmade, and the portions are filling. The meats were juicy and not dry, very flavorful. This restaurant was very clean, with a 99 health score so iykyk! I'm surprised this place was already opened for 3 years! It's such a hidden gem in this plaza, and I look forward to going back. It's family owned, so the hours are not like most restaurants.

    I am always in the mood for Mexican food! So here we are :) I will be posting on my YouTube channel…read moreof my Foodie journey soon! Thanks to you all reviews, I decided to come here. I order the Texan fajitas and a Texas margarita. I was going to go the al cart route and order tacos but I literally just had that Friday and I came here that following Monday. The food is delicious! Seasoned well and my steak was cooked the way I like it, medium well. Don't beat me up for not posting it! When I am in the area, I will definitely drop by to try other options!

    It's part of a gas station property but no importa!…read more We felt like we were sitting in a local restaurant in Ensenada (not the tourist area). The facilities were modern, very clean and the staff, very kind and helpful. The food was delicious with the majority of the patrons being from Latino descent. We ordered chips with queso, 2 tamale and taco meals and a Carne Asada. Tasty, moist and flavorful tamales (one chicken and one pork with mild red sauce) as well as delicious tacos (Al pastor and birria). I've heard good things about the mole sauce but they were sold out of it. The steak was a little tough but the flavor was delicious. Honorable mention to the rice and beans and guacamole! Wow wow wow. The portions were really great also. So much so I needed a box for my taco. Overall great value with a lunch meal for 3 with an appetizer for about $50 bucks. Great experience!

    I don't often find myself in this direction, but had bookmarked the place because they have vegan…read moretamales. We stopped by at breakfast-time and ordered: breakfast burrito: flavorful and good, plus easily split into 2 meals. comes with chips or fries. Fries were perfectly cooked and had a tasty seasoning on them. $13-14 breakfast plate: This was ok. It's billed as a scramble but is griddle scrambled and the eggs were very very hard cooked. I would prefer an overdone egg than a soft egg, so that was ok, but I would order them differently if I returned. There were lots of tomatoes, peppers and onions which was nice for flavor, but there were so many that there weren't many "curds" of scrambled eggs if that makes sense. The refried beans might be the tastiest I've ever had. The rice was "ok". The soft corn tortillas were very fresh. If not housemade, these are coming in every day for sure. $13-14 Rajas and cheese tamales: Didn't try these because of the cheese, but they were medium sized and smelled good $4 each Vegan black bean tamales: These come in banana leaves, which I've not had before. I could do without the flavor of the leaf, which is actually pronounced (this surprised me). The masa was lovely and the black bean filling was delicious and well seasoned. I like to pan fry my tamales to reheat and they were stellar the next day. $4 each The staff was friendly and handled accommodations (no dairy, corn tortillas instead of flour) smoothly. I would go again if I was in the area.
