The Taco Stand is a must for my husband and me whenever we're in Southern California. I actually planned our most recent vacation rental in La Jolla based on how close it was to this place. Be prepared for a line during the lunch or dinner rush--but the food is absolutely worth the wait. The menu includes tacos, burritos, volcanes, and quesadillas, but the tacos are the real star. The tortillas are made in-house, and the fresh salsa bar lets you customize each bite. Everything tastes incredibly fresh with bold, vibrant flavors. My favorites are the fish tacos--both the grilled fish and the Baja (fried fish). The fish is always fresh, well seasoned, and the Baja version has a perfectly crispy bite. The al pastor (pork with pineapple) is a close second and has a great sweet and savory balance. The avocado is always perfectly ripe, and the street corn and guacamole are excellent. My only small critique: the horchata was very sweet and seemed to be made from a mix rather than fresh. Still, this spot is always a must-visit for us when we're in the area. Pro tip: try both the grilled and Baja fish tacos and don't skip the salsa bar. read more

The Taco Stand - Al Pastor Taco, Baja Taco, Grilled Pescado Taco (left to right) - Food Stands Near Me - La Jolla, California

Decided to try the taco stand on a Saturday morning after a walk in downtown La Jolla. The spot can be a little walk from the downtown. The spot was busy in the morning so recommended getting there early. The service was speedy. My burrito was good though it could use a little more flavor. The salsa bar had plenty of salsa options depending on the spice palate. The prices are good for the portions. Overall a good experience! read more

Tasty tasty tacos that took about an hour to get. Self serve salsa and toppings bar which is awesome, the different sauces all added something yummy. Had the fish and beef taco which were so much better than a few other places during my trip. My complaint mostly is the wait. I get it, we came on a Saturday but the line barely budged, although when you're inside you can see they're producing tacos and packing them really quickly so what it looks like is they're doing a lot of mobile orders in between standing customers which to me isn't great. Maybe turn off mobile ordering on busy days and treat the people waiting in line first? read more

The Taco Stand - Food Stands Near Me - La Jolla, California

Went on a Sunday around dinner time and this place was POPPING. We ordered online for pickup and still had to wait about 15 minutes when we got there, but honestly good thing we did because the line to order was literally out the door and down the block. The workers were BUSY. Not a ton of seating inside, but we just took our food to the beach and had a mini picnic, which made it way better anyway. They also have a self-serve sauce bar, which I always appreciate. We got carne asada tacos, al pastor tacos, and carne asada fries. The carne asada was solid. Good flavor, decent sized pieces, not dry or chewy, actually pretty tender. The al pastor was kinda underwhelming though. A little dry and just didn't hit the same (flavor-wise). Also not a huge fan of raw onions and they cut them pretty big, so it was a bit overpowering. The fries were really good texture wise, and the steak was just as good as the tacos. Only thing is the nacho sauce on top was a bit much for me. Made everything kinda soggy toward the end. One thing I will say, they are VERY generous with the guac, and it actually tasted really good too. But I still can't get over the price... ~$5 per taco is kinda crazy. I get that they load them up, but still. read more

Wow just knew walking up this taco joint it was going to be amazing by the line of a dozen plus people waiting outside to order. In the pics you'll notice a small press they are loading fresh masa mash into and hand rolling out fresh tortillas to heat on the grill. We ordered cactus & Baja tacos both super yummy also got grilled shrimp & carne asada tacos. Skirt steak, shrimp and Baja great flavor n spices going on here folks! Cactus taco unique but worth tasting! Fresh salsa bar was on par, everything about this place was fantastic so get some for sure if your in La Jolla. Oh and don't forget they got churros yea buddy ya going to enjoy those too! Crispier than a new $1 bill. I'll be back as Arnold would say. Cheers! read more

Menu is on a corrugated aluminum and was kinda hard to read unless you're up close. Seemed like other people were having the same issue so IMO it slows the line done. Food is made to order so the wait can take a while as well, so just be ready to wait a bit, but that's enough of my logistical analysis of the cue. The tortillas are elite and the pollo asado tacos was solid but didn't blow my socks off. Now the Mar Y Tierra burrito, was def a banger. Beef was tender and the shrimp weren't over cooked, cabbage added a nice texture and the salsa paired well. The salsa bar had some variety but the pickled veggies were better than average to me. Place is not huge but does have outside seating. Parking can be a bit of a chore so stay diligent. 4/5, want to pull up again and get through the menu read more

This was a taco stand alright because we spent most of our time standing and waiting. That being said, the food tasted so good that it was almost worth it. The parking lot is pretty tiny--especially considering how it's shared by several restaurants. We must have come at the right time though because one spot actually opened up right when we got there! The line never let up the entire time I was there even though it was already well past lunch time on a weekday when we arrived. I think we waited for about an hour before even taking our order. There was plenty of seating both inside and out, but there were just so many people that not everyone had a seat. Not only that, but many of the people who were sitting were still waiting for their food. After ordering, I think we waited another 30 minutes for the food to be done too. Luckily, some people left and we were able to take their seats before the food was done. The entire menu looked really interesting and yummy, so it was hard to make a decision. There was a small fridge by the doorway that was full of alcohol and soda in glass bottles. They even had churros being fried right next to the register! I ended up going with three soft tacos--baja, carne asada, and al pastor. Each taco was loaded with plenty of things already, but there was also a sizeable sauce/salsa/topping bar in the back to get even more! The tacos were all a pretty good size. They were packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. The fish in the baja taco was especially delicious. The fish was fried to perfection It's too bad that this place is so far away from where I live. If I lived nearby, then I would try to find the slow hours and then go all the time! read more

The Taco Stand - L to R (Baja, Carne Asada, Al Pastor) - Food Stands Near Me - La Jolla, California

Ok, so... the wait on a Saturday is long. It doesn't get shorter in the afternoon or weird hours between lunch and dinner. Long. There's another wait for salsas and soda. Then, there's the wait for food. It's also long. Seating is sparse. Vegetarian review: mushroom taco was ok. Filled to the brim though, with mushrooms and topped with a fair amount of avocado. It just wasn't very flavorful. Chips and guac: chips were good. Guac was ok. Churros: these were good. You get 3 of them along with some condensed milk. Crispy outside, chewy inside, lots of cinnamon and sugar. Salsas were pretty good. Parking was not too bad. read more

The Taco Stand - MUSHROOM TACO - Food Stands Near Me - La Jolla, California

The Taco Stand on Pearl St in La Jolla never fails to draw a crowd of people who are willing to wait a little for the tacos self included. This taco shop is between POP's Bagels, and Pizza on Pearl, which is next to a burger shop. It's a small restaurant with a few seating inside and out. Parking can be challenge. Overdue review because I Have been coming here for over 2 years and mostly for togo but sometimes when seating is available I may stay. My pup knows the aroma of tacos and she drags here for her carne asada meat taco. My favs are the Baja crispy Mahi Mahi fish or Grilled Mahi Mahi fish tacos, the mushroom with cheese and also the Nopales which is diced cactus...All are so good especially with added spicy hot sauce from the salsa bar. They have cerveza aka beer or Topo Chico the mexican sparkling H20, which I like. This taco stand is casual, not fancy and everyone knows it's among the best for tacos and other casual mexican foods( burritos, quesadillas, loaded fries, chips and salsa, elote(corn) and churros( a sweet cinnamon and sugar sprinkled longish skinny donut dessert you can eat most of the foods without utensils, it's finger foods and you can eat with your CLEAN hands. There are other locations throughout San Diego but this spot sure gets a lot of attention with the locals and visiting tourists. Remember this, It doesn't have to be Taco Tuesday to Go Get Tacos!!

This is the original location (circa 2013) for this ever-expanding local franchise that's now up to sixteen restaurants in four states (CA, TX, NV & FL)--with six more "coming soon" locations. The Good: * The menu is pretty straightforward and not overly complicated. * Handmade corn tortillas. 'Nuff said. * Great self-serve salsa bar in the back. *Bottled beers available *Service was fine. Nothing great, but nothing terrible. * Maybe the best carne asada I've ever had. Thick, tender, and plentiful--now this is what a $5 taco should look like! * Carissa thought their Al Pastor was phenomenal. She couldn't stop talking about it. *Maybe the best Carne Asada Fries I've ever had. I don't know how they kept the fries so crispy even with all the toppings on there, but they did. Marvelous. Simply marvelous. The Meh: * Small outdoor space, but it's available at least. *Free street parking only The Ugly: * Very cramped and tiny interior, especially if you're the size of a small village, like myself. Definitely bull in China shop vibes, as every slight turn I felt like I was going to run someone over or knock something over. *This place gets very busy, busy, busy and for good reason! Get here early. Conclusion: Some of the best Mexican food we've ever had, but we just wish it was a better environment to dine in at. read more

Second time trying this location. I came around lunch so it was busy so I expected the long wait. Note,if you come during lunch or on the weekend, there will likely be a lot of people and you will need to wait (1hr+). I enjoyed the food I had this time. Had an al pastor burrito. Great. No complaints. Their salsa options are great too. plenty there to choose which you prefer. Tacos - carne asada, fish, al pastor were all good too. read more

Decent taco spot for the price. I think the carne asada could have had a stronger flavor to it and the meat was rather chewy. Tortilla was good but the cilantro salsa saved it all. Definitely could put that stuff on so much. Line and wait can get very long here. Street parking only which can suck depending when you go. Indoor and outdoor seating but can also be competitive depending when you go. read more

So the long lines and the social media definitely has a hand in the popularity of this place is it worth lining up for well I think that answer depends on the person but our experience is definitely one of the most tastiest that we have been to any Mexican restaurant somehow the meat is very very smoky flavor and one of the favorite items is the asada fries and definitely get the churro since you're standing in line for such a long time you might as well go all out limited seating area in the front outside in a few tables inside the salsa and sauce bar definitely gives a lot of variety and definitely you need to get that up there's always a line and very limited parking what better place to eat at read more

This is hands-down the best tacos ever. They make their corn tortillas fresh in-house, the meats are deliciously grilled, and their unlimited salsa bar is filled with delicious pico de gallo, salsas, limes and pickled onions. Although it does take some time when it's busy to get your food, it is so so worth it. There is plenty of street parking a few blocks down by the neighborhoods. The service is fast and the atmosphere bustling. Only bad thing I can say is there is not bathroom. The tacos are the best I've ever had in the States though, so full of fillings and fresh! The steak and shrimp fries are also delicious and the burritos are highly recommended as well. read more

Good, but not as good as the tacos from Tacos El Gordo. - Baja Taco: Good, but the fish could've been crispier. Also would've liked more flavor. - Camaron Taco: My favorite of the bunch. The shrimps were plump, juicy, and flavorful. - Al Pastor: Super meaty which I liked, but could've been moister and warmer. Meat isn't crispy, so if you like your al pastor that way this might not be for you. I also wasn't the biggest fan of the tortilla texture which didn't seem fresh. Regardless of the critiques, I still generally enjoyed the tacos here. read more

We got takeout on a Friday night. Line was long but moved quickly. We tried to order online but it said they weren't taking orders..yet we saw ppl picking up orders, so maybe they take phone orders? We got: Sonora taco (5/5) Pollo asada taco - they got this order wrong and gave us a carne asada instead (4/5) Carne asada burrito - meat was overcooked (3.5/5) Carne asada quesadilla (4/5) Elote/corn on the cob - corn did not seem fresh and too much lime juice (3.5/5) Overall, I'd go again to get the Sonora taco and try other tacos. read more

Out of the three Taco Stand locations I've been to, I've definitely visited this location the most. Although known for their tacos, the Taco Stand also has quesadillas, loaded fries, and delicious burritos. I haven't tried their loaded fries yet, but I have tried every taco, every breakfast burrito, some regular burritos, and a mushroom quesadilla. And I'll start with the mushrooms: what a flavorful and interesting choice for a vegetarian meat at a taco shop! I feel like I was thinking about how Mexican food doesn't really feature mushrooms a few years ago, but I either didn't realize or totally forgot about Taco Stand. I guess mushrooms provide the right texture for the way they season and cook meat here. I've also ordered a mushroom taco and a mushroom burrito before, and they're all good. My mom loves mushroom and she really enjoyed her mushroom burrito when I brought her here. For the tacos, I honestly think they're all good, but make sure you add cheese! They grill it so it sticks to the tortilla. My favorite taco is the sanora taco, which comes pre-loaded with toppings and salsa. If you like to add salsa yourself, they do have a pretty bangin' salsa bar, which provides salsa of every spicy level, pico de gallo, pickled veggies, and limes. My fiancé and I enjoy the cilantro crema the most, and we've tried them all except the "hottest" salsa (which comes pre-portioned). Their breakfast burritos are fiiiire, but I don't know if they offer them at other locations, or just this one. I know that you can't call in to place an order, and the online menu doesn't list breakfast burritos yet, so you have to just show up in the morning and hope for the best. They have some unique offerings for breakfast burritos that fall outside of the "eggs, potato, meat" format. Taco Stand is also home to my fiancé's favorite California burrito of-all-TIME! He exclusively comes here to get one, and I've tried it, and it's pretty dang good. The seasoned fries are what elevate it, methinks. As for ambiance, uhhh it's taco shop ambiance? This location has bar seating for the windows that meet in the corner of the shop (which is pretty cool for this location), and the other tables are for small parties (maybe one or two available for a group of 4). Their branding is "red accents" so you see this in the dining room as well. Anyhoo, if you come early enough on the weekends for the breakfast burritos, the line isn't too bad yet. I think once it reaches like 11am, you shouldn't expect to wait any less than 30 minutes for food if you order in-person. I've definitely seen the line go out and down the street many times while driving by. But it's a pretty well-oiled machine and the employees work hard and get through lots of orders every day. You won't be disappointed, either. read more

15/10 One of the Best Burritos I've Ever Had The Taco Stand at the La Jolla location is unreal. From the moment you walk in, you're watching them make fresh tortillas right in front of you, which already sets the tone. I ordered the California burrito, one pastor taco, one carne asada taco, and one chicken taco, and honestly, everything was amazing. I usually default to pastor, but at this location the steak completely stole the show. The carne asada was perfectly cooked, flavorful, and easily the highlight of the meal. The California burrito deserves special recognition. It's hands down one of the best burritos I've ever had. So good that I immediately ordered another one to go so I could have it again the next day. I also tried the churros, and you can tell they're fresh-made. Crispy on the outside, warm on the inside, and the perfect way to end the meal. The orange sauce at the salsa bar was absolutely out of this world and paired perfectly with the steak burrito. Everything around me looked amazing too, which just confirms that you really can't go wrong here. This spot instantly shot to the top of my list for Mexican food. It's so good it genuinely makes me consider moving to San Diego just to be closer to it. Absolute must-visit. read more

The Taco Stand - AL PASTOR TACO POLLO ASADO TACO - Food Stands Near Me - La Jolla, California

This is the first time for me to come to this location as I've only been to the convoy location. My favorite is the shrimp taco and the carne asada taco. These are good size tacos stuffed with meat, guac and sauce. They make everything fresh here. This location tastes very similar to the convoy location. One thing I've never ordered before was the carne asada fries. And it was very good here. The fries were on point! They were thicker type of fries and crispy on the outside while soft in the inside. The cubes of carne asada on top of the fries with all the cheese was delicious. Great to know the food here is consistent to their other locations. read more

Visiting La Jolla for my birthday weekend, I was told The Taco Spot was a must-try lunch spot--popular and all over social media. When I arrived, there was a line out the door, which actually gave me plenty of time to look over the menu. They offer a great selection of meats. We sat at the bar, and it was such a treat watching the staff prepare everything. They press and cook fresh corn tortillas right in front of you. The staff member making them must have noticed us admiring them because he handed us two tortillas fresh off the griddle while we waited...such a nice touch! I ordered the steak burrito, which was delicious. It wasn't oversized, but it was the perfect amount for lunch. My friend had two tacos, and we shared chips and guacamole. We topped everything with their fresh salsas and pickled peppers from the salsa bar. The restaurant was small, busy, and filled with what looked like mostly locals, always a good sign. I'm really glad I got to try The Taco Spot, and I'd definitely come back next time I'm in town. read more

Get here early or you may find yourself waiting in a long ass line. Parking can be tricky so you may have to walk a bit. In a non-descript small strip mall, The Taco Stand does not have a ton of seating. Hence another reason to get here before the dinner crowd. Loved sitting at the counter and watching them make the tortillas and tacos. I should have gotten the fish and am kicking myself, daughter ordered it and it looked very tasty. Flaky fish fried up with a fresh slaw on top. I was feeling adventurous and got the mushroom taco accompanied with an al pastor taco. The latter turned out to be much better, in my opinion, with its tender meat and touch of pineapple. Next time I would get these to go and take these to the beach! read more

Stopped by The Taco Stand in La Jolla for a late lunch, and it was a good experience. I did not anticipate such a long line, but we waited about 40 minutes and then I opted to go ahead and place an online order. The restaurant itself is a bit small and a bit cramped. There's limited seating outside and inside, so finding a table may be a challenge. Luckily, we were able to find a table inside and sit down, and I requested to switch our to-go order to dine-in. Customer service was quite friendly and better than expected, especially since I had to go and interrupt them to check in on my order and then my additional order (I forgot to initially order drinks and churros). They have an area in the back (next to soda dispenser) to get salsas, limes, and etc., but there can be quite a line for that as well. So, it's important to be patient & prepared for possible crowds and very limited space. The pricing for most dishes seemed pretty fair and reasonable. We initially ordered 5 tacos, a side of chips and guac, and 1 order of carne asada fries & it was a little over $40. Now for the food, I opted to try the carne asada fries, which were pretty good, but seemed to lack toppings. The meat had a nice char and flavor, which made the dish. I really enjoyed the sonora taco, with steak along with the churros. Unfortunately, the food this time was not as enjoyable, as the last time I visited but I still thoroughly enjoyed it. However, I will say the staff were trying to be diligent and polite with all customers, but there were a lot of orders and I imagine it was quite overwhelming. The Taco Stand is definitely a solid spot for lunch or dinner. I'm curious to also try their burritos & quesadillas in the future. The good thing is there's several locations in SoCal, including a few out of state. So, if La Jolla is out of the way, I'd recommend going to another Taco Stand location and trying out some of their tacos! read more

The Taco Stand was tasty and good but not quite worth the hype in my opinion. We were lucky enough to come when there was no line to order, and we got at least one of each taco except for the mushroom and Sonora. My favorites were the spicy shrimp, Baja battered fish, and carne asada, and the tacos tasted clean and not greasy. The meats were flavorful, and the fresh housemade corn tortillas were great. The grilled fish was a bit dry and overcooked. The self-service salsa bar was cramped and inefficient in the corner, but I liked the variety of salsas and pickled onions, jalapenos, and carrots. I wish they had more specialty cuts like cabeza or lengua, but I'm still glad I tried The Taco Stand! read more

The Taco Stand - Food Stands Near Me - La Jolla, California

TLDR: A chain's challenge is to maintain the size and quality of the food. Although they managed to match the same flavor as the other branches I've been to, I feel that they struggled with size uniformity, and the standards of how they served the food. Mar y Tierra Burrito - It's still the best light burrito that I've ever had. The lack of rice and beans inside meant that you're consuming a good balance of steak, shrimp, and coleslaw with a very nice sauce. My issue is that the group ordered 3, and all 3 were different sizes. Baja Taco - It's really hard to beat the fried fish taco in general. This place's version is nice because the batter is light, and you still get to enjoy everything in the taco. Grilled Pescado Taco - The healthier option for people who want fish but don't want to eat fried food. Some would argue that it tastes better too, but I think it's comparing apples to oranges. Two issues, the first one is that they can't seem to decide if they want the taco wrapped in a piece of paper or laid out flat. The more concerning issue is that one of our tortillas had a funky smell, so we had to let it go and just make do with the filling. Service - It's self service after you get your order. You get your food and help yourself with the drinks and sauces, just like all the other branches. Ambiance - I think this is the worst one in terms of the handful of branches I've been to. The inside is pretty normal and fine, but the outside isn't a great place to eat. It's a dirty parking area of a business strip with a bunch of flies and birds. Normally, I wouldn't mind, but I guess I just saw enough to notice and say something about it. read more

The line was super long and out the door when we visited on Labor Day weekend around 12:30pm. We waited about 30 minutes to order and another 45 minutes to receive our food--honestly not bad considering the amount of people. One thing that I wish I knew ahead of time is that you can order online. We were originally promised a 15 minute wait for food after we ordered, but it seemed like they suddenly got slammed with online orders as we saw a bunch of people grabbing food from the pick up window that we had not previously seen in line. So order online and skip the waiting! We ordered the california burrito and the mar y tierra burrito, and both were delicious but not the best I have ever had--that honor belongs to another taco/burrito shop that I visited years ago on the south side of San Diego. The steak is done well and the shrimp is fresh! The other burrito toppings are great as well and their condiment bar allows you to customize each bite as you go. My favorite salsas were the cilantro sauce and pickled onions. Like I mentioned earlier, this restaurant can get quite busy and crowded, but they do a very good job of getting people in and out as fast as they can. We had no issues finding seating for our party of 11 as our food was coming out. Parking is a bit of an issue, but we street parked not too far away. Great spot to visit after enjoying La Jolla's beaches! read more
