After driving past this place hundreds of times we finally remembered to give it a try. Found out that…Not just tacos are served! A sister restaurant to Romescos, a stones throw east, you expect Friendly service and good food. So no disappointments! My vegetarian wife enjoyed her portobello burrito and the carnitas were on point. We will definitely make a return trip!

MUST VISIT! All tacos are extremely good – if you order the beef cheek, it’s tender. If you order the pork adobada, it’s perfect – crispy char with perfect fat content and flavor.
Also, the employees are very considerate and attentive to you. But a litmus test that speaks to their character is how they interact with young children. You can tell the kids bring them joy and they engage with the kids in a polite way.

The taco tuesday promotion is buy 2 adobada tacos and get 1 adobada taco free. That is the only deal on that day. It is a great adobada taco. The carne was excellent as well. They used the filler squash guac on the adobada and the real guac on the carne. Lose 1 star because I feel like you can do more for customers with taco Tuesday. Overall I would absolutely come back. Nice hearty 3 big bite tacos.

Finally found a Taqeuria in San Diego I love. It’s as close to Tj tacos I can get. I keep coming back and happy every time with my belly full. Tacos are very good . Plenty of meats to choose from and Tacos are good size. I also enjoy the music selection they play while I eat. The prices are very decent compared to the trip you’re saving from going to TJ. Good weekly specials make it a must visit.

Placed my order 15 minutes in advance and it was still a few min wait when I got there. It is a nice taco place though. Ordered 5 but was too much so would suggest getting 3 instead.

Great music and even better food. The Adobada is fantastic and they run a deal on Mondays for it. The carne asada was also very good. Taco Machin is the local favorite. They are hand making the tortillas and chips. Everything is wonderful. This place is delightful

Excellent service and very friendly cashier. I was able to sample the agua frescas and definitely happy with my drink selection. I arrived on a very rainy day and I ordered one taco de carne asada, taco de caquete and quesadilla de carne asada on floor tortilla. The caqueta was my first choice and it had great flavor. But my favorite was the carne asada flavor on both the taco and the quesadilla. I would return as they have specials on Mondays and Tuesdays. Truly a very clean establishment with great job! Highly recommend if you’re in the area!
