I ordered a chile relleno burrito and got burnt chiles that were drenched in old oil. I called 3x and no answer. It tasted terrible and even using napkins to get rid of some of oil wasn’t edible. Dissatisfied and disappointed. Would never go back.

I ordered one of each taco. They’re all pretty good but our favorite was carnitas with fish coming in as a close second. The green salsa is delicious (I like a lot of citrus so I added some more lime juice). Customer service is great and the portions are generous. Humberto’s is a solid choice.

One of the best carne asada fries in San Diego!!!! The cotija cheese sprinkled on top *chef’s kiss* Super fresh food, I did not feel heavy or bad after eating here!!! The quesadilla had such a good cheese pull!

A humble small seating configuration might make you overlook this absolute gem. Food seemed fresh, came off RIPPING hot, and was considerably larger than expected and that flavors were on point on my California burrito. The red and verde sauce were bright and vibrant, and they gave me more than enough without prompting. The cashier was attentive, friendly, and quick. Were I local, I’d be hitting this place often. I literally came here 10 minutes after another great meal in the neighborhood and still felt the value was there and food was great.

Came here for the first time on a whim to try their CA burrito and fish tacos. My mom gave fish tacos 9/10. I loved how much beef was in my CA burrito vs. fries. However, it did not come with guacamole, only shredded cheese and a bit of pico de gallo, so it was dry. Ate a bunch of red sauce with it to wash it down. I would come back and order it with guac next time. Customer service was very friendly. No public restroom. I definitely feel this place is one of the better ones in terms of portion, flavor, and price.

I’ve been wanting to try this place for a long time but could never make the time to get here. They did not disappoint. I ordered the carne asada burrito and it was really, really good. The burrito was big enough to split between two people or to make two meals. I did split mine and had the second half of the burrito the next night for dinner. Tasted even better reheated.
The carne asada was a nice cut of meat, cooked tender and perfectly marinated, no gristle. The rest of the ingredients were super fresh. The parking situation is very tight in this area, especially at lunch time, but if you’re lucky enough to get a space inside their parking lot, it’s all covered with solar panels, so it’s shaded! A big bonus for a downtown fast casual eatery.
I’ll definitely be coming back to try other popular Humberto’s suggestions.

Every time we are in SD, we have to get Humberto’s! Massive, flavorful burritos. We have had the steak and shrimp burrito and all of the breakfast burritos. So good!
Today’s breakfast was the steak egg and cheese burrito. Breakfast ends at noon, though, so come early.

This place was recommended to me to try to satisfy my carne asada fries cravings. After a full day walking around SDCC, this place satisfied my cravings
It’s definitely that old school hole in the wall type place. Small, order the counter with limited indoor seating. Parking can be difficult in the tiny lot and you may have to rely on street parking.
Staff is great, very friendly, accommodating and helpful
We got carne asada fries in small size for $14 which was enough for two meals. Love the skinny fries they use. Good portions of fries, guacamole, sour cream, and of course protein.
Also go chicken enchilada and rolled tacos (forgot to take a picture bc we were hungry.
Rolled tacos were just okay, nothing special. Chicken enchilada was delicious and not overly salty.
Not a fan of their guac, it’s just too runny for my preference. It’s too much like a sauce
Red sauce has a good kick, green sauce has too cilantro for my liking
It’s a good place, would try the tacos next time, but their carne asada fries are great

Humberto’s Taco Shop definitely feels like an authentic Mexican spot, and it’s one of those places everyone mentions when talking about a California burrito. We came specifically to try that.
The tortilla was actually really good and tasted fresh, but overall the food didn’t fully live up to the hype for us. The fries were a bit soggy and the burrito itself felt kind of plain. The place was also a little dirty, but to be fair, we weren’t expecting anything fancy or upscale. This is more of a quick, no-frills taco shop.
Overall, it’s not a bad spot, just not one I’d personally go back to if I’m really craving a great California burrito. That said, I can still see why people like it, especially if you’re nearby and want something quick and casual.
