Y'all! We experienced The Krispy Boyz at the Oceanside Farmer's Market and let me start out by saying... Oh Em Goodness!!!! The "Boyz" have a fun, easy-going vibe that make you want to sit down and enjoy the food. They are friendly and don't hesitate to give recommendations. My first bite solidified what I already expected...SO GOOD!!! The queso birria taco was everything I expected, but bigger. read more

A birria Mac and cheese taco?? Who knew it could be so good! This is the epitome of cultures combining to make something so delicious only the melting pot of America could create. I didn't know how I'd feel about this taco before getting it but damn, it's good. The birria is so flavorful and dripping with juices that combine with the Mac and cheese beautifully, all inside a cheese crusted tortilla, a beautiful marriage of flavors and textures you just have to try. read more

Got their Quesabirria with Mac & Cheese because it sounded really unique. Honestly, not worth the price. It was just a small, soggy taco and I couldn't taste the mac & cheese at all. Their birria was pretty good, though. The people working it were very nice, but I don't feel inclined to eat here again. If I did, I would definitely skip the mac & cheese part. The taco just made me feel gross while I was eating it and after. read more

The Quesabirria and Quesabirria with Mac and cheese tacos??? It was enough to grab my attention. I checked out Krazy Boys at their pop up at Mira Mesa farmers market. They are not there every week, but have been there a few times. The taco's were made fresh to order and were served hot!!!! The regular Quesabirria taco was my favorite. Crispy, full of meat...all around delicious. The mac and cheese added...not my favorite. It was a unique flavor, but not one that I would associate with birria taco. Price-wise, these taco's were more than I would expect to pay for the portion size, but still what I would expect at a farmers market or street fair. It's worth a try, but not sure that I would race for a second chance. read more

SO GOOD! Had the Quesabirria and Quesabirria with Mac and cheese tacos at their pop up at east village brewery and they are definitely my favorite Birria tacos around! Tacos were made fresh to order and loaded with beef and cheesy goodness! Crispy cheese on the outside and gooey, melted cheese on the inside of those corn tortillas. I could've ordered a side of the Mac and cheese on its own if they had that option as it was quite tasty as well. Staff were friendly. I am certainly a fan and will be scoping out their pop up schedule at the brewery. read more

I first tried Krispy Boyz at a farmers market. I'm super picky about quesabirria tacos and typically only go to a spot in a LA to get them. These ones aren't too mad and are my go to when I can't go to LA. I order the quesabirria tacos and consommé. The first time I had them everything was really good but for some reason the 2nd time wasn't as great. I have a couple theories way that may be but I'm either way the best I've had in San Diego. They are typically at farmers starting at 9am I would suggest don't go to their tent at 9am typically they aren't ready. Try going around 9:30a maybe even later when they've made few tacos and ready to serve. I haven't tried their fried chicken yet but it looks really good. read more

I'm picky when it comes to food, but this blew me away! The mac & cheese was creamy, cheesy, and perfectly seasoned, while the birria was tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. Dipping each bite into the rich consomé took it to another level. Every element blended flawlessly, making this a dish I'll definitely be coming back for. If you love bold, comforting flavors, this is a must-try! I most definitely will be coming again!! read more

The hubby and I took a trip to San Diego and had the opportunity to visit "The Krispy Boyz" stand. We each ordered a Birria Mac N Cheese Taco, but shared a chicken sandwich because the Tacos are VERY Filling. The Taco: Tender, well seasoned Birria with all the fixings, topped with Creamy, flavorful Mac N Cheese, all wrapped in a tortilla. An explosion of flavors that'll make your tastebuds dance with joy. A well executed idea! The Chicken Sandwich: It's moist on the inside, crispy on the outside, seasoned well, and drenched in THE SAUCE! I don't know which one of them created this divine sauce, but they did their thing. If you're in the San Diego area, you have to try them out! I could go for a taco right now... but I'm not in the San Diego area. Woe is me, lol. read more

It's alright. Got their Mac and cheese birria taco and the Mac and cheese was salty. I scraped it off and just ate the birria. The taco shell was crunchy and good. Their customer service sucks. Was 3 of them. 2 kinda just snooted at me. The other smiled and helped but I was already perturbed since spending my $9 for 1 taco and poor service. And the mac and cheese to spoil the taco.

Tried at the La Jolla Farmers market. The mac and cheese is a fun addition to a birria taco, but the crispy cheese on the outside of the taco is genius. Extremely delicious, highly recommend. The person who helped me was also extremely friendly and made a convincing argument that I wouldn't be able to find mac and cheese birria tacos anywhere else. I suspect he was right, but I'm not sure why not--it was a delicious idea. read more

Was really excited to order this at the ocean beach farmers market. There was no line & I saw one of the employees cooking a bunch of tacos. I paid & wasn't given a number & thought nothing of it until two people got their orders ahead of me. I noticed that they had ordered after me but didn't really think it was an issue & continued to wait patiently next to the booth. Another order is served & I ask the staff if my order is next to which the staff look at me and say "did you order"? And I politely say yes & repeat what I ordered. He asks me if I have a number and I say no, I was never given one, but I ordered about 15 mins ago. The guy rolls his eyes & mumbles something to the other staff & then says he will take care of it. I feel bad & decide to pull up my bank statement with proof that I ordered & paid & he rolls his eyes again and asks if there is a time stamp on it?? He then waits another 15 mins & finally gives me my one taco which is ice cold. Not a great experience for 1 $10 taco read more

One guy says he's been coming there every Tuesday just for the Mac n' cheese birria tacos. So I was definitely excited to try this spot...I patiently wait after ordering the chicken sando and the infamous Mac n' cheese birria taco. Both were delicious and I had a hard time picking a fav.

Tacos El Gordo continues to be one of my favorite taco places of all time. I found out that…read moreMexico City was the place that originated al pastor tacos as they were inspired by Lebanese immigrants who brought Shawarma to Mexico; however, I appreciate that it worked its way to Tijuana and SD through Gordo. Gordo's adobada can compare favorably to al pastor anywhere; however, my experience at this "Gordo" location in Gaslamp has been inconsistent compared to Chula Vista and Vegas locations, due to their higher volume. The smaller space also has less seating, which is a bummer if you are coming here on a busy comic con day. The adobada here, though, is the taco to get. Consider yourself lucky if you get a nice portion of crispy and burnt bits as they offer nice textural bites. Their sauces/salsas are also equally good, and it sets it above and beyond another taquero from Tijuana, Tacos El Franc. Don't shy away from their asada tacos either, as the meat has a nice kiss of charcoal and it's topped with a generous portion of guac. I don't love that prices have gone up to almost $5/taco; however, I'll gladly pay it if they can give me my favorite taco.

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."

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!

I picked a place off Google but when we landed there we were not comfortable stopping to park, so we looked again and decided to check out La Puerta not realizing it was in the Gaslight District. I am not a fan of the Gaslight District, which is why I am so mad!! I'm going to HAVE to go back to the Gaslight District!! The food was AMAZING!! I HIGHLY recommend the Potato Flautitas. It's the kind of dish I'm going to dream about, I'm salivating now just thinking about them. I also did the Pick 3 Street Tacos (and actually ordered a 4th). The Ranchero Shrimp and Grilled Veggie were top notch. The Conchinita was recommended by our waiter, and it was interesting, tasty but different. It could have used a little more pickled onion. The only one I would not recommend (shockingly, I thought it would be the easy pass) was the carne asada. It was too greasy. My husband ordered a carne asada quesadilla and said the same, it was too wet and soaked through the tortilla. But there were no many other delightful options, I would say just don't go traditional. But honestly my favorite thing on the plate was the side dish rajas con crema, seriously, that alone is going to drag me down to the Gaslight District. I'm even considering going to a Padres game just for the excuse. I'm salivating again! As for our waiter, Colin, he was fantastic. Very informative, made great suggestions and seemed genuinely pleased by our satisfaction. He was smiling the whole time, friendly and stayed very present. I highly recommend you get yourself through the door at La Puerta and sit down for a meal ASAP. (We ate the food so fast I forgot to take pictures.)

The tacos also came with a side of beef consomme. The tacos were very good. The beef was tender and flavorful, but it needed more of those chili and herb sauce mixed into it. The tacos came with chopped white onions and cilantro. The beef consomme was good. It was good pouring or dipping the tacos into it, which was the purpose of the broth. I do recommend that when they warm up the tortillas on the hot griddle, they pour a little bit of the consomme on the tortillas for that added texture, flavor, and color. The service was very friendly. The two gents in the truck were in good spirits. Although it is a food truck, they do offer tables and chairs on the sidewalk. That is cool.

This was present in Caprese via the fresh and delicious mozzarella cheese. Along with the incredible griddles mozzarella cheese, the Caprese came with ripe and juicy tomatoes, fresh cut basil leaves, and a thyme-mint pesto sauce topped with a drizzle of porcini truffle balsamic reduction all on a soft warm roll. The contributed to the overall success of the sandwich was it nice flavor and a bit of a chew. All the ingredients and flavor went very well together and the Caprese was up there with one of the best I have every had.

Unfortunately, they were completely out of menudo, which I can understand on a busy morning. What surprised me more was that they also had no cheese for the birria -- one of the best parts! Drinks were scarce too, with very limited options available. To top it off, there was only one employee handling everything up front: taking orders, making the food, serving, and ringing up the cash. I didn't see any gloves being used, and I'm not sure how often he was able to wash his hands with how slammed he was. I don't blame the employee -- it's clearly not his fault. It just seems like they were severely understaffed for a Sunday lunch. The lack of basic items and the chaotic service made the whole experience pretty disappointing. So they are open 9am-8pm, wonder how the next 8 hours will go with just birria no anything else. Won't be rushing back anytime soon.
