Best Rolled Tacos in the Game! Hands Down. 6/5…read more It's been tried and it's been true. Where else can you get fresh AF, juicy, beef rolled tacos that are rolled and fried to order? I'm waiting.... I'll put La Lomitas rolled tacos up against anybody's, ANYBODY'S! Covered in freshly made, still green guacamole, tomatoes, and shredded cheese, these bad boys are smackin'! $9.25 for 5 rolled tacos isn't terrible, but you might as well phone a friend on some Who Wants to Be a Millionaire type ish and order that 12 pack for $16.99. Ya feel me? If you don't, you will. And don't forget to peep out all of the accoutrements at the salsa bar-4 different salsas, pickled red onions, limes, radishes, and hot carrots, all gratis my amigo. Say whaaaaaat!? Yes, they kindly ask that you don't go overboard and request you take only 2 salsas per item, but just don't be greedy and you should be fine. The salsa bar was super clean and the salsas were delicious. I've also had carne asada fries here (always ask for extra crispy) and they're delicious as well. If you're not asking for your carne asada fries to be extra crispy at any taco shop, you're just doing it wrong. Enjoy my friends! Thanks to La Lomita and crew for coming through again. You guys really shine.

I would definitely go here more often if they had drive thru…read more Food is delicious. They have their own salsa bar area. Service was great and got our food fast. The place was nice and they also have outdoor seatings. Ordered their carne asada chips in which the amount of food was better than most other places and of course, it was goooood. I've had their tacos and carne asada fries in the past which was delicious as well.

That alone made me feel like the wait wasn't wasted. We tried a variety of tacos, and everything was solid. The spicy pork (which actually isn't that spicy) was super flavorful and easy to eat. I will highly recommend even if you don't handle spice well. The beef tongue was another standout, it is tender, rich, and really well done. Ordering can be a little confusing at first since you line up by meat and then pay separately, but once you figure it out, it's part of the experience. If you're in San Diego, this place is pretty much a must-try. I'd come back again just for these tacos.

I came to Tacos El G around 9:30 PM. They're open until midnight, which I appreciated, and when we…read moregot there it wasn't hectic. The place was clean, and there was plenty of seating. You order and pay first, then they call your name when everything's ready. Service was nice and straightforward. The salsa bar was clean and stocked with fresh limes, two salsas, and radishes. There are a few tables inside plus a bigger table, but we chose to sit outside on the patio. It was clean, comfortable, and the weather made it easy to eat outside. Cabeza: $3.69. Super juicy and packed with flavor. If you like cabeza, this one hits. It came with onions and cilantro and didn't need much else. Lengua: $4.38. Lengua is usually my go-to, and this one was cooked really well. Not greasy at all, which I appreciated. The texture was right, and the flavor was solid, especially with extra lime. I enjoyed it, but I wouldn't order more than one at that price. Adobada: $3.69 each. These were my husband's favorite. They come with a creamy green salsa that isn't at the salsa bar, and it pairs really well with the pork. Probably the safest order here. I'd come back to try other items since they have a lot of different cuts and styles, but the prices do make you pause a little, especially if you're ordering multiple tacos.

This place is so mid and so overpriced for what you get. The pastor/adobada tacos are ok, but the…read morefries for $23 and like barely any meat is criminal. And the employees dgaf which just shows me they're underpaid. Save your money and your tummy. Go else where.

Great mom & pop business that provides authentic flavors with personal service…read more I highly recommend their "levanta muertos" seafood soup and their "pescado y camarones a la diabla" , great flavor and spicy enough but they do give you different salsas to add. It's cozy inside with a few tables and some outdoor seating available. Def worth a visit if you are in town or looking for good seafood

Came here with a small group for mariscos. Overall it was decent, but not super stand out…read more Their agua frescas are a little different than what you'd expect. They're more blended instead of that thinner, water based style. I personally liked the mango since it tasted like a blended mango, but just something to keep in mind depending on what you're expecting. The fish tacos were good and nicely battered. I just wish they made their own tortillas. The ceviche was more of a chopped mix of shrimp, tomatoes, and cucumber, and didn't really have any juice, which threw me off a bit. The aguachile tostada was really spicy. I know it's supposed to have heat, but this one was definitely spicier than most places. The flavor was good though. Overall a solid spot to try, but not one I'd go out of my way for.

This place is a mess!…read more I have been going here for years and just recently the service has been coming down. Today I went for two Carne Asada Fries and let me tell you, the cashiers there are super rude. They just call the orders at random, have you waiting there to order and don't tell you "sorry, give me a second" or anything. When I actually get to order the cashiers cannot even look at you in the eyes to acknowledge you. I waited for a long time and then they called the order that was after me before me, I was like"hey what happened? I was before" and then the cashier pretends like she doesn't know and starts making fun of me because I was wondering about my food being after than the customers after me. When I got home my food was super cold and the carne asada fries were more fries than anything, plus they were cold as if they were sitting out for a while. Total disappointment, they lost a customer with me for sure.

The restaurant itself is very small with a few tables/booths. Service was quick and the food was okay.

Food drink review: Strawberry pancakes: (3/5) These had an odd flavor, don't know how to explain it. The cream had a weird consistency. Overall, decent. Steak & eggs: (4/5) The chimichurri was tasty. The steak wasn't as flavorful as I'd hoped and is super thin. The breakfast potatoes were nice and crispy!

Why even ask what salsa I want if you're not even going to give me what I asked for.
