    Crunchy Chicken Taco.
    Eric H.

    A solid offering for Valerie's Taco Shop. I came in for a small, quick bite before my drive back to LA. I ordered two crunchy tacos, (1 chicken, 1 beef). Both tacos were tasty and the shells didn't break on first bite. I also liked how the tacos were not overloaded with lettuce or cheese. The beef seemed to have a little bit more flavor than the chicken, but both were good. The salsa bar has 6 or so varieties and the self-served soda fountain is convenient. The service is kind and the dining room is clean and comfortable. I will definitely eat here again. Valerie's Taco Shop is A'OK!

    My husband and I were on the hunt for some tacos while in Oceanside, and boy, are we glad we stumbled upon Valerie's Taco Shop. This place looks humble from the outside, but inside, it's a pretty inviting, open space, adorned with cute little signs and a big screen showcasing a slideshow of pictures of the various items you can order. It's perfect for a quick and casual meal. I've eaten a lot of Mexican food, but I can confidently say that this place is above average. Everything was flavorful, from the rice and beans to the enchilada and hard shell taco. They even let us swap our cheese enchilada for a chicken one, and let me tell you, that was a decision I do not regret. I'm already looking forward to our next visit!! Don't miss out on this hidden gem!

    Chicken and shrimp tacos

    Yummy tacos!! I've been there a couple of times. And each time was really good. I normally get chicken and shrimp tacos. The tacos are very fresh! The service is good, I believe it's family owned. The employees are pretty friendly and helpful. The only hiccup is, there's not a lot of seating for dinning in. Pretty small setting but there are tables and chairs outside which is decent.

    Finally visited Cocina Del Mar after always seeing it popup on Yelp or Google Maps. Our defacto…read morego-to standard for Mexican food has always been Mariscos Huatulco. They have the best molcajete and fajitas around, at the best prices. We are here just to see if Cocina Del Mar is better. Long story short: it's not. However, their ceviche is AMAZING. Best ceviche I have had in north county San Diego outside of Dija Mara (which has the best ceviche in the known universe). It is extremely fresh and not overpowered by acidity, fishy smells or rubbery shrimp. The ceviche here is legit. Great. AND ONLY $10 (for cameron). If you order anything here, get the ceviche first. I'm anxious to try their aguachile now. We also ordered the fajitas ("suprema" with chicken, steak and shrimp). Fajitas did not come out sizzling at all. I have never seen this before. Also, there were only two shrimp. The steak/carne was bland and dry. Not great. Wife ordered the Sopes (3) and mother ordered the Enchiladas Cameron. The sopes were okay, but a bit bland. Wife had to salt everything on the plate. The enchiladas had a sauce my mom said was too sweet. She wasn't a fan. For all three dishes to be a miss is completely strange considering the sheer number of 5-star reviews. I want to believe. We must have come on an off-day, but the place was busy. Quite a few larger parties were here, so this place is popular with the natives. We also grabbed a Model and a Corona. Only $5 for the beers! Total for everything came to $117.64 (with tip). I would absolutely come back for the ceviche and to give them another shot by trying a different dish. I snapped pics of the menu so you can see the latest prices. Check it out.
