    Carne asada tacos
    Jay C.

    Just because it's a truck doesn't necessarily mean it's good or authentic. Nice working ladies, but the carne asada steak tastes like boiled meat on cold corn tacos. Such a disappointment. The salsa was a thumbs down. It was basically a chip and salsa type of sauce. Didn't come with any lime. Could've used some. Recommend?- no.

    Decent option out of all the casino/resort food offerings. It is located right next to the South Tower elevators and next to 'ritas Cantina (it is 'ritas taco truck). Actually looks like a truck and you can see the chefs making your food as you wait. I opted for the carnitas burrito ($10.99 not including tax) which seemed like a better deal judging from how small the street taco tortillas looked like. Meat was cooked well. And the burrito came with rice, salsa verde, and cilantro and onions. Salsa definitely helped give it a little bit more flavor. TL;DR: Not the best burrito I've ever had, but good "fast food" option at Harrahs that isn't a sandwich or hamburger.

    How do you make beef taco taste so bad?? The chicken taco is less bad. Skip this place.

    Fantastic Find: Cocina de Ledezma…read more After a hike, I was on the hunt for some great local Mexican food and found La Cocina de Ledezma--what a gem! The food was incredible and tasted fresh. I tried three different tacos and a Quesabirria, each packed with great flavor. Their birria was especially impressive--it's hard to find good birria! To top it off, there's a coffee cart across the lot with refreshing drinks. I had a Lotus energy drink, and my girl had a spritzer--both hit the spot after a long day outdoors. The service was as amazing as the food. The brother at the register was super friendly, sharing how they prepare everything with care, and his sister in the truck was incredibly sweet and courteous. The two girls at the coffee cart were also lovely and added to the welcoming atmosphere. Though I live far, I'll definitely be coming back. If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping by for delicious food and great service.

Look for the flags directly after the rite aid. You go up a small hill and it's to the left. The person taking our order was so nice when taking our order. We asked more questions than most and he never seemed bothered. More happy to answer everything about the food. Mentioned it was a family business and they are there every Saturday and Sunday! We will definitely be back!

    I HOPE SOMEONE FROM MANAGEMENT SEES THIS... WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON?!?…read more My son & I stop at least 1-2 times per week for breakfast burritos & we stop for lunch often as well, it has been very inconsistent. I keep thinking maybe the usual cook is on vacation on something, but it's only getting worse. When I was in a few days ago another couple were complaining about their order & they informed me that a when a certain gentleman is working they won't even order anymore because he is making the burrito's half the size they use to. Which is the problem we are having also. They raised the price to 15 dollars a burrito & most days they are coming out half the size they use to & with hardly any meat & mostly potatoes. I didn't the 15 which is ridiculous for a breakfast burrito, but I agree with the couple that was complaining, I'm not going to pay 15 for half the size, when I can go down the street & get two for 8 bucks. The food is so hot and miss also. I love the taquito's platter for lunch. One day I will order and it will be great & the next they are so burned & hard as rock I can't even chew them. THE LADY CASHIER IS ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL...I DO HOPE MANAGEMENT SEES THIS & GET'S TRAINING ALL STAFF ON HOW TO BE CONSISTENT & HOW TO MAKE EVERYTHING CORRECTLY, SO YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR GOING TO GET EVERY TIME. I love to support small businesses/mom & pop places, but if a change doesn't happen, then I will take my business down the road.

    I believe I recently reviewed this spot, so I'm confused why it popped up on my Yelp "algorithm"?…read more Since I'm positive I did recently review Jilbertos, I will keep this one brief, just in case I am mistaken or possibly never posted it. Love it! With a full menu of items I've always ordered the burritos and taquitos. Both outstanding. The burritos are literally bigger than my forearm! And the carne asade is some of the best I've ever had! There you go. Short and sweet!

    my search for the best taco spot in sd is finally over. im a big tacos el g hater and tj tacos blew…read morethem out of the park. tacos el g used to be good, don't get me wrong. but the quality went down, salsa tastes like water, meat is tough, dry, and chewy, and expensive. tj tacos did everything right. tacos were huge and full of meat. 10/10 no notes. we ordered adobada, carne asada, lengua, tripas, and cabeza tacos. everything was insane. adobada was juicy, flavorful, and addicting. my brother looooved their carne asada and he's picky with his tacos too! the smokiness and char from the grill gave it the absolute best flavor. it was also super tender and juicy. my lengua and cabeza were just perfect. cabeza wasn't too fatty like some places. i enjoyed how carne asada was paired with a fresh flour tortilla while the others came with corn. they had the best tortillas! i'm just a girl who loves salsa and i need them spicy. that's where a lot of tacos spots here fall short. their salsas, especially verde, were spicy and soooo good. i was so impressed! lots of seating inside and outside. you order first and pay after. don't forget to ask for grilled onions, jalapeños, and extra salsa. can't wait to come back for drive thru!

    TJ Tacos was a disappointing experience. We ordered 12 tacos, and the total came out to almost $59,…read morewhich felt very expensive for what we received. The tacos had very little meat, and the portions were not satisfying. To make matters worse, our order only came with four hot sauces. When we politely asked for more hot sauce and extra napkins, the staff refused. We were also told that only one napkin was allowed per plate, which was surprising. Even other taco places, like Frida's, are much more accommodating. Overall, the food did not justify the price, and the customer service left a lot to be desired. Unfortunately, this was an unpleasant visit, and I won't be returning. I'll definitely be taking my business somewhere else in the future.

    Great local spot, that I want the world and yet no one to know about, all at once…read more I had a craving for fish tacos. Sir we ventured here. I have the El Pascado, TallGirl had the Adaboado and the Coco Loco. For good measure we also got chips and guacamole. They have stubborn cola, which is always a hit for me. The chips were fresh and crisp and perfect amount of salt. The guacamole had a lovely lime hit. It was very good (from a non guacamole lover) and I especially like it with the chipotle salsa. My tacos were so yummy! I love how each taco had some fresh fruit on it. Each bite made my mouth happy!! The service was friendly, quick and personal. I felt like we were in a place where everyone knows your name. There is outdoor seating in the front and rear patio. And about 11 tables inside. This is on the list to come back to again and again!!

When ordering my food customer service was great. I sat own and received chips and salsa. These were great as well, the chips were amazing! Today I ordered the Vegan Avocado, Vegan Al Pastor and the Vegan Zucchini tacos. I was really looking forward to the chips and salsa but I didn't receive anything :/. Since I was the only one that just ordered in the restaurant I just figured maybe they don't offer them anymore. My food came out quickly but it was nice last time to have the chips to scope up my fallen fillings. Another customer came in and ordered and within minutes they received chips and salsa. Not sure why I didn't receive anything. I was disappointed I didn't receive any because I really enjoyed them my last time here. Atmosphere is great and a nice quiet place to enjoy your food.

Most know that one taco shop normally does not excel in every single thing on their menu. And we have our favorite spots for certain menu items no doubt about that. Over the years staying at the nearby Harrah's resort, I have been sent to this taco shop several times. Never had anything but great burritos, plates, and friendly service from here! The chorizo plate is my personal favorite but honestly I really haven't found anything we didn't like. I feel like we have tried a good cross-section of the menu, breakfast, rolled tacos, asada and more. It has all been very well prepared, good portions and great bang for the buck. I have them at 4.5 stars overall for the 6-10 times visited, which I'll round up to 5. No other taco shops around nearby to compare them to, but they have been very good to us. By the way, we've also been to the other two locations nearby in Valley center and they're exactly the same, just as awesome!
