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.

I really like this place. The food is seriously so good. The corn dogs are always hot and…read moredelicious, and the quality is great every time. That said, I work in the mall and timing is a big factor. When you order, it takes at least about 10 minutes for the food to be ready, which is why my coworkers and I relied on DoorDash pickup. It made it possible for us to order ahead during short breaks, pick it up, and still be able to enjoy it while supporting the business. We recently noticed the topping options were removed from DoorDash, which is a big downside. The toppings are kind of the whole point, like the sugar coating and sauces. Without that, there is no way to customize in the app. When we pick up, we have to ask in person, and even then they usually just give the toppings on the side instead of putting them on the corn dogs, which is not the same experience. We really do love this place and hope the topping options get added back soon, because otherwise it is hard for us to keep ordering

Great burger! I don't usually come out to Esco, but this is…read morea great burger place, so I may have to make an exception! Today, we ordered the classic lunch combo burger with fries-delicious and does not taste like freezer burn!!! There is a choice of not just beef, but also impossible, gluten free, and grass fed meats. All burgers are cooked to medium unless you specify otherwise. Easy to order-just go to the counter and order, pick a seat and wait for your meal. The interior dining area has plenty of seating and restrooms in the back. The outdoor patio looks nice enough for when it's a nice cool night, it is covered as well. Anyway, we'll be back since the menu looks super inviting because there are other choices besides burgers and the best thing is that they use a lot of local, fresh ingredients! Support your local eateries!

The line is always wrapped around the block, that is usually a good sign the food is that good. The service here is good, the inside is always packed with people so we usually order in the drive thru. The lines move pretty quickly, our order has been accurate most of the time, we have had issues with our orders in the past. It also seems like the burgers are smaller than I remember, but it's still a good place for dinner.

We stopped by to try their jalapeno ranch chicken sandwiches and ordered a few extra items on the side. The sandwich was awesome, it was very juicyand not too spicy, most of the menu items I have ordered are good. I have have a couple issues in the past with chicken being dried out or orders of large fries only filled partially. But so far everything has been good with the quality of food.

But there is one thing that bothers me. No senior discounts are available (as far as I know). They used to offer a free soft drink for seniors. But not for a long time now. Many other restaurants offer senior discounts. And some even offer specially priced senior meals. It'd really be great if something like that would be offered!

This is how you do it folks!…read more Been here three times and we've had different dishes every time and so far everything is delicious. Service is on point, like I said I've been here three times in probably 5 months and the crazy thing is on both return trips the guy recognized me like this is the epitome of mom & pop business right here. You feel seen and you realize the money your paying for your delicious food is going to real folks and not some corporate overlord nonsense. The vibe of the place is an industrial-esque sports bar the style that was super popular during the hipster face of restauranteering where everyone was going for the stripped down minimalist aesthetic but for this place it works. They have high seats, low seats and a couple TVs playing live sports with no real obstructions. We always come at off peak hours so I'm not sure how packed it would get but this seems like a good place to catch a PPV fight or something IF they don't pack everyone in like sardines. The food, jeez I should have probably made this the start of the review the food is decadent. EVERY dish we've tried has been packed with flavor, healthy portions, and fair prices. I recommend anything on the menu but if you want to get out of your comfort zone get the balkan fries, they're so good you won't regret it! This is the kind of place you want to see in business the people rock, the food is great, and you feel like part of the community patronizing here.
