    New menu June 2026

    Great new location a few doors down (suite 104). Larger inside. Always great food and quick service.

    Grilled Fish burrito
    Carmen A.

    I wish this Valerie's was close to my home. The Valerie's (170 Emerald Dr, Vista, CA 92083) close to my home does not grill their fish. I will drive the extra miles to this delicious Valerie's. Yes the cooks are better!

    This was my first time at Valerie's and I was pleasantly surprised. I got the california burrito, which was loaded with carne asada and fries. I loved how the tortilla had a nice char on it from the grill, and the salsas were solid. Also, service was extremely efficient. Will definitely be coming back to try more!

    Beef Flautas
    Pascal L.

    It gets busy at lunch time, so you know, but it goes pretty fast. We loved the mahi mahi fish tacos! Huge portion of fish, crispy, not too greasy. We also tried the flautas which were good, big portion as well.

    Chicken Flautas

    Stopped here after my prenatal appointment and had the best Chicken flautas and Horchata! Service was excellent and very friendly! Delicious and authentic!

    Great food for a typical taco shop. Prices were on par with your average taco shop but the food was really good.

    Very expensive for some basic Mexican food. 3.25 for 1 taco that would be 1.25 anywhere else. Never coming back

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.

    We had a party of 6 people and there was no crowd on a Tuesday evening. The place in located in…read moreOceanside on Douglas, north of the highway 76. Everyone was pleased with their meals. We ordered from basic chicken enchiladas to ceviche and pescado veracruzana which I had. Honestly, I wish there were more vegetables in the dish. However, the flavor and the fish which was bassa was very good. Overall, a nice meal and quiet.

It's a true family-style operation--one owner personally takes your order while the other is in the kitchen cooking everything fresh, and you can taste that attention to detail in every bite.

It's the kind of place where you know you're getting authentic, homemade quality, not something rushed or generic. On top of that, the service is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant itself is clean and well-kept. It's rare to find a spot that checks all the boxes like this.

Since then we've been visiting other burrito places, but decided to give them another shot. We were pleasantly surprised to see things were "back to normal". Burritos were big again and the salsa bar was back. Chips were no longer free (I remember they used to be a long time ago), but no biggie. We were just picked up to-go. The burritos were good. Not great, necessarily, but good and the prices are some of the best around. They have a ton of options, and lots of drinks, including beer. We were just picking up, and it was a very hot day. The restaurant didn't have any air-conditioning so it was quite warm inside. Most people were eating outside. We'll be back again to try some other menu items given that their prices are generally pretty good.

After I paid, the guy who took my order asked if I wanted salsa...replied yes, he asked how many, I said 4 or 5 ramekins? Gave em to me, no problem. Salsa bar was LIT - all fresh, good tasting stuff, clean and orderly. After getting my salsas, I sat and waited for a moment while they made my order - fresh, made on the spot...saw that was the case for a couple of other patrons who got there shortly after I did. Got my order and, HOT DAMN, my burrito was GINORMOUS. I ran through it as soon as I got home and it was delicious. So good that I would definitely want to go back and try some of their other offerings. Looked to me like they have a number of daily specials (e.g., 5 tacos for $12).

Such a fun, laid-back beachy vibe and the location is perfect. You can kind of see the water, but more importantly you can FEEL it. We walked along the pier afterward which was a great way to end the night. We were both pretty jet-lagged and I wasn't feeling my best, so we unfortunately couldn't eat as much as we wanted. The birria tacos were definitely the standout! Tender beef, cheesy, crispy on the outside and SO good. I would 100% get those again. I got the pollo asado taco bowl with cheese. The chicken and grilled veggies were fresh and good, but I found myself wishing it had something a little more substantial like rice. Nuzz got the carne asada mulitas and loved them. Very cheesy and he'd definitely order them again. We also got chips and guac, which was fresh and definitely worth ordering. The salsa wasn't really our favorite since we prefer it chunkier. You scan a QR code at the table to order and pay, which was pretty cool, and the food came out FAST. The staff was really friendly too, especially the guy who helped wrap everything up when he realized we weren't eating much. Bonus points for the Cokes in big glass bottles! The tap water, however... not so much It was kind of warm and definitely not my favorite. My only real disappointment? NO FISH TACOS! At the beach!! Definitely somewhere I'd go back to when I'm feeling 100% and really hungry. And those birria tacos are happening again!
