    So, when I can't decide what to have for lunch, I end up choosing to try a new spot... sometimes I find a hidden gem. Sometimes I find a cubic zirconia if you catch my drift. This place isn't the best and it isn't the worst. It isn't the cleanest. It is cash only and doesn't have an indoor dining area, which means also no air conditioning. What they do have is pricey taco shop food, red and green salsa and workers that are friendly which is why I gave them a generous 3 stars. I ordered their carne asada chips, which they call nachos. It came out on a plate, which looked as if though it might have been microwaved. The cheese stuck to the plate in some spots. The meat was tasty but the beans and salsa fresca was a bit too overbearing for my liking. There was a blab of sour cream and guacamole just for the sake of saying it was on it lol. I believe their food is authentic. I probably won't be back. I should have known... there was no drive thru, they didn't accept credit or debit and it was dead when I made the dreadful decision to dine here. Needless to say, I ended up finishing my food as I am always thankful to be able have a meal and didn't want to be wasteful. Try other spots in town. You can thank me later.

    So good! I love this place. The only reason I'm not giving a full 5 stars is because my husband is not a fan of their chorizo. They have ceviche which is delicious. Their breakfast is great and they serve more than just burritos. Breakfast tacos and plates too! The don't have an indoor dining area but they do have a wonderful patio and in Fallbrook it is always great to sit outside. It is right next door to Village Market & Spirits so we go grab drinks there. My husband and friends have even bought cold beer to have with their food.

    Taco Tuesday.  4 asada tacos for 5 bucks.

    In my quest to try every restaurant in Fallbrook ran into this place. I stopped by tonight on a Tuesday night when it was not too busy. There was ample parking and you have to order at a window kind of like how you would order your food at a taco truck. There is sitting outside and little heaters to keep you warm. When I showed up there was a small group sitting at some of the tables so there wasn't any available tables left for me so I decided to eat in my car like a couple of other people that I saw. I ordered four asada tacos for $5. The four tacos came on a single plate with a couple of slices of lime and slices of radish I also got a side of red hot sauce. The meat was not too greasy and it was a little bit salty. The taste of the asada was drowned out by the thickness of the tortilla that it was wrapped in. I can't honestly say that it was the greatest tacos I've ever had but it wasn't bad either. It was average. The limes and hot sauce make it taste better. In my opinion, tacos should taste great without sauce or additional condiments, but taste is purely subjective depending on how you like your tacos. If you're looking for a cheap place to eat in Fallbrook, this is the place to go!

    Bean, rice, cotija, and pico de gallo burrito. $4.35

    5 stars for authenticity. Always high quality fresh ingredients. They even have cotija queso! Everything is done good here. Breakfast torta's, meats and seasoning, tortillas, salsas red and green. Even the basic ingredients like beans and rice are prepared with tradition and authenticity. I think since the kitchen is so small it requires them to stay organized, and with a small amount of storage room ingredients are fresh. Radio always plays on the clean patio with a nice garden atmosphere. High quality with low price has been consistent since the beginning in 2009. Thank you Village Taco.

    I love coming to this place whenever I don't feel like cooking and want some authentic Mexican food. So far everything I've ordered had been delicious. Tonight I ordered the enchiladas plate and it's the first place that I've gone to that actually makes their own enchilada salsa. Perfect red rice and beans. Of course made here as well. Just make sure you bring cash. They don't accept cards. Enjoy!

    Cabeza, Pastor, and Carnitas tacos with everything on them.

It was packed, and we waited about 10-15 minutes before getting the first available table outside. We started with chips and salsa, then shared a carne asada quesadilla. The chips were crisp, warm, and lightly salted, and the salsa had a bright, fresh kick with just the right amount of tang. I ordered a beef chimichanga with rice, and it was perfectly fried, golden, and satisfyingly crunchy on the outside, with a rich, savory filling inside. The portion was so generous that I had to take half of it home. The fried ice cream was a wonderful way to end the evening, with a cool, creamy center, a cinnamon-sweet flavor, and a satisfying crunchy exterior. Our wonderful waitress recommended it, and I'm so glad she did. I would definitely recommend this restaurant if you are ever in the area.

My parents loved their food and I was just glad I don't have to cook or clean. After looking at the pictures I took (and posted), I realized the plates look so similar which I found humorous. We order enchiladas, tacos, salad and a chili relleno. The chips and salsa were my favorite part while my family enjoyed their food. Service was good and fast. We arrived just as they opened (11am) and we ordered and our food came out pretty quickly and the food was super fresh. The rice and beans were good but don't really need all the extra cheese on it, I'd order again but ask for no extra cheese on top (personal preference). While my parents liked it that way, myself and my kids just took it off. Taste overall was good. I'm definitely going back to try other items on the menu and not driving so I can order an adult beverage.

Chips and salsa were brought out right away as well as water. The chips, although greasy, were very crispy and tasty. The three flavors of salsa were a nice touch. Then we waited... Someone eventually came to take out order...didn't introduce herself, didn't ask if we had any questions about the menu/Taco Tuesday...just, "what can I get you"... We ordered the queso fundido app to start and then I ordered the fried fish taco, the shrimp taco and a side of refried beans along with a regular margarita. After taking my order, she started to walk away and then realized she hadn't taken the Hubs order...I mean, yes the restaurant was busy but wtf? The Hubs ordered the California burrito and all that was said was, "It comes with fries"... Then we waited... I noticed a lot of the patrons were regulars...having their orders taken right away, their drinks prepared right away and receiving exceptional service...while we waited. Finally, I received my margarita and then our fundido came out. The margarita was just that...a boring margarita that tasted more like a $5 happy hour margarita than the $10 margarita it was. The fundido was a huge bowl of bubbling cheese with balls of chorizo at the bottom, it was delicious...after we asked for more chips to eat it with (other restaurants usually serve tortillas with it, but, okay...) Then we waited.... My shrimp taco and side of beans arrived as did the Hubs burrito. The burrito was just a plain/dry burrito. I'm not sure why this wasn't mentioned with he ordered it and why adding toppings and/or sides was not suggested...but, okay... My shrimp taco and beans were very tasty... But wait, you exclaim...didn't you also order a fish taco? Why yes, yes I did!!! But, since NO ONE ever came to ask how or meal was or if we needed anything, it was impossible to let them know they forgot my taco. When the server saw that we were finished eating, she was quick to get out check...only then was I able to notify her of the missing taco by telling her to make sure it's not listed on check. At no point did she offer an apology, she just stated that we were not charged for it. The restaurant was busy, but not busy enough for the service to have been as bad as it was...also, there were plenty of servers in the restaurant as well as a couple of bussers and a bartender. Food: 8/10 (only because of the dry ass burrito) Drinks: 5/10 Service: 2/10 (only because of the good service we initially received)

The beans are good but a little bland. I had the Adobada taco which was absolutely out of this world. The red Chile spices were spot on. My lunch date had beef flautas which were delicious.
