It's free, but parking can be a major pain in the butt…read more We drove down from Escondido to see IB's famous Sandcastle competition. We were fortunate to have a parking driveway reserved for us, but the traffic was really bad and people were parking many many blocks away from the beach area. Paid parking lots were even farther away.. Overall this was a fun time, though I suppose if you came here for just for the sandcastles you might be disappointed. This year's theme was "Pirates" and I think they did a good job hiring the right people to entertain guests. Bonus points for not hiring that fake Jack Sparrow that seems to find himself at every event in San Diego. They also had a large kid area for various crafts. Sandcastles - After talking with some of the locals I found out that the professional sandcastle builders no longer come to this event and it's much smaller than previous years ( back when the US Open for Sandcastles was held here). So come with an open mind if you're looking for true master craft sandcastles. Food - Various street vendors and food trucks. I think the best options were the big slices of pizza, and the street tacos sold next door. Tip - If you're just wanting to see sandcastles you might want to come after 4pm.. The festival ends at 5 and people start leaving en masse. Plus you get to see a sunset too. - Imperial Beach doesn't have a lot of beach area between the ocean and where the castles were made. You're going to have to hike a bit to find some empty beach space. That is unless you want to sit yourself by the sandcastles ( Which surprisingly / not surprisingly some people seemed to be okay with castle watchers standing on their beach towels and invading their personal space...

Tacos are good ,all but 1guy worker seemed busy trying to help get orders completed...- this guy was just pretending to work while he ate with "gloved hand" - ewe this is your business not your house, no one wants your germs ! Guy seemed to be somewhat buzzed idk maybe his goofy persona is natural and dont belong making tacos - it was uncomfortable having him be part of preparing my food ... he was drinking and picking/eating meat from a plate with same hand he was using to turning meat and never did he change gloves until I asked the cashier to tell him to change them . what he was doing was unsanitary.! - Just sharing my observations from my visit and I wont be coming back- even though flavor was good it is not my style of tacos . - tortilla is dipped in grease prior to being warmed up. - asada is alright not a fan of this one here - suadero was delicious - tripa tacos was also delicious LIKE wow the best ive tastes minus the grease dipped tortilla. - Adobada was also delicius - Cabeza was also a good one --Cons : they dip all tortillas in oil before warming up, carne asada is just alright and one of the guy who works there eats with his finger (does not use utensils ) while he prepares your food :( . Corn tortillas are not hand made. - No kitchen utensils to grab Radishes and lemons . Sanitation practices for sides and one employee(guy eating) is questionable. Pros: Open late, - mostly all their protein options are tasty. -Salsas are delicious. - protein portion is adequate - price per taco 3.25 - they also have mulitas and quesadillas

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!
