    Love their roll tacos. Fresh salad and cheese

    The cooks know what their doing in this location. The workers are so friendly and keep the restaurant clean.

    Soc Cal definitely has better tacos than Nor Cal. I feel Nor Cal is late to the party. My favorite was the El Jefe. The bacon rally makes this one. Next was the Carnitas. The flavor and moistness of the pork was so good. Also the tortillas are all home made. Nuff said! I've been here a few times and this will be in our rotation when we visit the area.

    Bacon Breakfast Burrito  Stacked not Slacked

    Breakfast burritos to start the new year from Valerie's. They don't come with potato's but you can add if you want, they're fries. Burritos made it home large still hot and in charge. Not even mad that mine didn't have potatoes as it's just more filler and these babies were packed with eggs,cheese and bacon / one with ham. Fantastic breakfast burritos. They also have an assortment of about 6 different salsas at their self serve salsa bar. Will be back to try some other menu items. Happy eatjngs ! I ate half and pretty stuffed for now. Simple menu with all the normal taco shop foods

    In the parking lot of Winco, this shop has some indoor seating. You order at the counter off their simple, but plentiful menu. The service was prompt and attentive, and when asked if they have tostadas (couldn't find it on the menu), the cook said yes. Several parties were enjoying their dinner at their tables, but several were also ordering take out. We ordered a bean and cheese burrito and a bean tostada, to-go. The refried beans made the burrito a bit dry, but it was still decent with their salsas. Sometimes wet frijoles make a burrito messy and smash out, you know? Their frijoles are on the drier side so they stay put. Their flour tortilla is great! The tostada was made with a freshly fried tortilla with a nice serving of beans and lechuga to make a light dinner. The fact that they had queso (in addition to shredded cheese) was a huge plus! Only wish was fresh tomato on top of the salsa, maybe they have it for request next time. Their salsa bar is honestly one of the best. Their prices right now are a savior too! Thank you for this!!!! We'll be back again. They close early at this location (8 pm), but they have several others that close at 10 pm (according to Yelp).

    Needed a flavorful quick meal and they delivered! The location is perfect with a lot of parking and a decent amount of seating. They offer beer and a salsa bar. They play classic Mexican style music and reminded me of a late evening at a family gathering. Service was fast and accommodating to my request.

    While waiting for my order, I witnessed one of the employees chopping meat. While chopping the meat, he accidentally dropped a chunk of it in the trashcan at the station he was working at. He looked around and then pick the meat up out of the trash and put it back in the pan. Disgusting! 04/03/25. I decided to give them a second chance since I frequent their other location on Emerald regularly and have been super satisfied with them. I visited the El Camino location twice for breakfast burritos. The first time was awesome. The second time, I found two hairs in my burrito. I just let the first one go, as this happens more than we probably know. After finding the second one, I went in and showed it to the representative and told her she should be wearing a hair net. She also works the register and then goes to the grill to prep food. I never see her wash her hands after performing a transaction before cooking the food.

    Terrible service. The owner was screaming at one of his employees. Completely unnecessary. Will not return.

    Yelp delivery or Uber eats?

    We prefer our food to be eaten at its peak of freshness and deliciousness-in store. As of right now we aren’t partnered with any companies. Though these companies do deliver our food.

    Great stop! Great IPAs and good folks behind the bar! Thanks Joe! Beautiful weather, nice place,…read moreand excellent beer...Tough to beat.

    I'll come down from LA just for Pure Project and I can't go down to San Diego without making a stop…read moreat one of their locations. That's how much I enjoy their beers. I've been going since they were limited to their Miramar location. Having been to all of their locations at this point they're all very beautiful. We end up visiting the Carlsbad location the most, as it's the most convenient location on our way up and down from LA. Perfect place to get some food around the area and have a drink before picking up a case to take home. They have a great and varied selection of beers for everyone. I'm a big IPA fan so I tend to lean towards their Diamond Dust as my favorite from their core line. Their specialty releases and collabs are always a hit. Their beers are all uniquely flavored, you can really taste the different elements to their offerings If it's your first time, their flight deals are a great way to try all of their selections. Feel free to ask the staff on recommendations as well. This location has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and very clean. It's the perfect place to grab a drink and take some to-go as well. Excellent vibes all around Definitely one of my favorite breweries!

    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.
