Me mysel and I
I hate to admit I was looking for another taco shop with a similar name when I found this place. I didn’t have time to redirect to the other taco shop, so I placed my order here. The girl was super friendly, being patient as I cautiously ordered for my first time. I can’t wait to work in the area again as I really enjoyed my tacos. Enjoy a cold beer with your food, they also have radishes and their hot sauce is good.

California Burrito Rating (#24)
On a mission to find the best California Burrito.
Stop number twenty-four: Tacos El Paisa
The Burrito:
They served me a massive burrito. Hands down the biggest one I’ve had so far. The meat was flavorful, the French fries were crispy, and the sour cream sauce worked well. They didn’t skimp on ingredients, which is great — but the burrito was on the dry side. You’re definitely going to need some sauces, which I didn’t see available. If they had added avocado and a solid sauce lineup, this could’ve been an amazing California burrito. Price? $14 — pretty fair for what you get. 7 out of 10
Service:
Service was… neutral. The guy behind the counter stood with his back to me for a solid minute, staring at the menu like he was meditating. The girl was friendlier, though. 2 out of 10
Atmosphere:
Colorful walls, paintings, and a fenced-in patio give the place a bit of charm. But it wasn’t exactly clean. One TV was playing Daredevil, the other had cartoons — kind of chaotic vibe, no clear style. 5 out of 10

Iv been a loyal customer for over a decade, and even though this hurts my soul because I loved it here unfortunately as of the last year or so, IV been experiencing disappointment after disappointment. I understand Mistakes happen , but when it comes to the handling of allergies and customer satisfaction theres a line you can’t cross and they sure have multiple times. I thought since they’ve added the pressure to tip and are getting tipped by me always they’d ensure quality and better attention to detail. Especially when dealing with allergens. Multiple times have we had to waste not only time, gas and the unnecessary arguments with employees to get our food corrected . I know the owners and head chef would never let this quality of satisfaction fly by

Nice taco shop in a rough community, store has a old colonial vibe. Tacos are really good, nice and hot. Nonetheless street tacos were good and affordable.

Tasty! Fresh! Filling! I stumbled upon this place coming back from San Diego, so happy I did. We got the Machaca burrito, Asada burrito & a cabeza taco. Soooooo goooood! Music was fun, food was spectacular. Workers are all friendly. Highly recommend!

You must go here with an appetite. Because the portions are huge and the food is delicious.
They have a very nice outdoor patio area that is very colorful. Or you can get your food to go.
Very obvious how much pride they take in their food, as everything is cooked to order with fresh ingredients.

Been here for over 20 years. Never disappointed always satisfied with my tacos. Taste and texture. Sometimes on a busy night definitely a spot for us to go grab some goods for the family. The parking is very small but will not stop anyone from coming to get some yummy Tacos

Never had a bad experience here. I have had quite a few items. Today I got the chilaquiles al cilantro with an horchata. Very well prepared. Staff is friendly. Come check them out!

The service is terrible, the atmosphere is not good, but the food is where it’s at most of the time, especially if you go in the morning when the head chef is cooking. Otherwise, it’s a hit or miss if you get sub-par food quality. I would highly recommend visiting during morning or early afternoon times to avoid inconsistencies in food quality.
