    An all around always-going-to-be-good spot. Will say this is a 4.5 because the Onlyyyyy thing that can be improved is the Quesabirria. Would say this can use a little more liquid or include a consomé like many places do nowadays. This is not stopping the renoccuring visits. Carne asada/ pollo asada fries good Cali burrito good Tacos gooooood. (Fish/ shrimp/ carne/ pollo) Appreciate that the orange salsa actually has spice to it and the other red and green also tasty. Desserts pleasantly surprised us. The arroz con leche is a repurchase. Everyone always friendly . Parking is limited but will usually find a space. Space is small but clean from what you can see. Worth trying it if looking for good Mexican taco shop.

    CONTODO taco shop off Meadowbrook in Skyline is a location that has the possibility of being overlooked due to its location but, don't get it twisted as this taco shop is dishing out some delicious food! We ordered: Mar Y Tierra burrito - surf and turf style burrito, steak was so flavorful. Asada burrito - some of the best flavored asada there is in Daygo! Only downfall is they are not cheap by no means but, it's the quality you are paying for at this location! Both burritos out the door was a smidge over $30. Inflation is REAL! Might as well make sure you are getting quality food for your buck! If in the hood, don't hesitate to stop by CONTODO for your taco shop fix!

    Heard great things about this place & decided to give it a try with my family. Ordered a California burrito, an order of three beef rolled tacos, and a half order of the surf fries. There's no seating inside, you just order to go or you can order and sit outside. The employee who took our order was very patient and friendly while we looked over the menu. The rolled tacos were alright compared to other taco shops we've been to. My husband said next time he would pass on the surf and turf fries & order the California burrito instead.

    Service was fast& efficient! Everything pretty good. The green sauce is bomb! Myself & 2 kids ate everything &was full! The batter for the fish was a bit thick though.

    Ok foos I asked some questions to learn more. They make their roll tacos fresh every day and the crispy tacos are made to order. I had a Mikita last time and it was good. This time I ordered street tacos and a quesabirria to see how it was They also make their Aguas frescas they are not powdered. They make the tortillas fresh as well. So basically no frozen stuff like many of the popular spots including Roberto's The pollo asado and carnitas tacos were delish. The quesabirria was really delish.

    *I ordered through door dash* so I can't speak for the establishment itself. I ordered the rolled tacos with chicken. The chicken was okay I also asked for salsas and utensils. They did provide one of each salsa they had which I don't think was enough. I ordered the fries thinking they were the same as the picture I posted but nope they were just plain fries lol. So not sure if it's a restaurant issue or door dash. Fries were thin and crispy tho. Just bummed they weren't what I was expecting. The horchata was bombbbbb. It was cold and just the right amount of sweetness. Might try them again but go in person to see the actual menu. Paid around 25 bucks for all three items.

    I was craving a burrito but didn't feel like driving all the way to my favorite spot in PB. Since I live in this area, I figured I should try something closer instead of going to the same Mexican places within a 10-mile radius. While searching on Yelp, I found this place--and it's literally only five minutes away! So we decided to give it a try. The place itself is small and pretty unassuming. The young lady at the register who took our order was friendly, and the restaurant was clean. There isn't any seating inside, but there are a couple of tables outside where we sat while waiting for our order. We ordered the California Burrito and the Mar y Tierra Burrito. The meat in both burritos was thinly sliced and very flavorful. The burritos weren't as huge as some other places, which I actually liked--they were still nicely packed and filling. I enjoyed the Mar y Tierra, though I wish there had been a bit more shrimp in it since I could barely find any. The California Burrito was really good and seemed creamier than others I've had, probably from the sour cream. The salsas definitely had some heat--too spicy for my husband--but I personally enjoyed them. Overall, it was a solid find so close to home, and I would definitely come back!

    Based on their Yelp reviews I decided to give this place a try. It's a small, unsuspecting place with a pretty straightforward menu and a variety of food options. It was late, so I called in my order to decrease my wait time. I was disappointed when they said they no longer sell the pork belly taco I saw on their Instagram page, so I decided to go with the pollo asado fries, Adobado taco, and spicy shrimp taco. The chicken on the fries was seasoned well and moist and the fries toppings were plentiful and super fresh. I expected a little more flavor from the Adobado taco, but it was still tasty. The spiciness of the spicy shrimp taco was so overpowering that I wasn't able to enjoy it. It was freshly made, but I just couldn't get past the heat. The quality and flavor of the tortillas, fresh salsas, and Horchata were a huge plus. Customer service was great. Wait time was as expected. I'll definitely be back to try more things!

    I was excited to see a New Mexican restaurant on nearby. Fish tacos are good and good value. One of my go to places.

    I ordered a carne asada and carnitas taco, and what i was given were two generous vessels of heaven sent flavor combinations compacted in these tacos. The star of each taco was the tenderness of both meats. As i bite down on the carne asada it was near butter tender , and with each chew released what every San Diegan should know as Carne Asada. The carnitas ... oh the tenderness and juicyness of each bite i could not resist and became primal. Contodo is one of many reasons i may not leave San Diego, authentic local SD Mexican food

    Tacos El Gordo is a whole thing. I don't want to say it's "a vibe," because I would never say that!…read moreBut you need to visit knowing that you will be waiting in a long line, and then you'll be waiting in a medium line depending on what kind of food you want, and then in a shorter line to pay. You'll be waiting in lines. And then, hopefully, you will find a table at which to enjoy your food. If you're smart like me, you will bring your children and make them sit at a table while you wait in all of these lines. You will bribe them with promises of great Mexican food. And if you're like me, your children will be sleeping in the booth when you finally arrive with tacos and quesadillas, and they will be feeling cross at you for bringing them to a place that's so crowded and requires them to wait so long to eat. The food is worth the wait, though. My tacos were amazing. I got the specialty, which is the taco de adobada -- spicy pork. You can see the pork on spits in the kitchen, and the people who work here shave it off little by little. I can see why it's the specialty, because it's delicious. The tacos are prepared simply: on corn tortillas with diced white onion and cilantro, and that's it. They have a few other things at the condiment bar, like sliced and whole radishes and lime wedges. I also got an asada taco and asada fries, but you need to get in a different line to get those. Seating is extremely limited. There are some tables in a dining room upstairs, and there are a few tables outside on the sidewalk, but that's it. Depending on how busy they are, you might just have to take your food to go.

    Tacos for lunch?? Heck yes!!…read more This establishment is in a prime location, and since it sits on the corner, it's always busy. The lines are usually out the door. I've been to other Taco El Gordo locations before, so I came in expecting the tacos to hit the spot. Unfortunately... disappointment. The only tacos that were worth the wait were the Adobada tacos. The others Asada, Carnitas, and Buche were simply bland. The Buche tacos, in particular, were extremely salty. The salsa could also use some improvement. Overall, most of the food lacked flavor. We might come back for the Adobada tacos, but other than that, I don't see myself returning.

They had the buy 2 get 1 free deal which pushed me to try new meats since I always stick to adobada. ADOBADA HANDS DOWN FIREEE! I love me a good al pastor taco and they make it just right. Super flavorful, juicy and packed w/ meat. I'm always hesitant to try asada because I haven't found a good spot here in SD, but this one was bomb! The meat had great flavor, a smokey taste and was loaded with guac. I'd order one again. The lengua was perfect too, super tender and fell apart just right. They don't skimp on the meats either. Most of the salsas were tasty and had great flavor and the habanero had the perfect kick ! I heard of this spot because my friend had them cater her baby shower and I had to come try the actual spot. Def brought the same energy. Inside is nice and has a good vibe, love all the decor. Service was super sweet! Horchata was bomb too, not to sweet and they said it's homemade!

The ordering process was simple enough, quick and friendly service. However I took mine to go, and it was a mess. It was literally dripping oil from the burrito and made such a mess that I didn't even want to eat the 2nd half after eating the first. To be honest it wasn't very tasty either. I didn't even take a pic of the burrito because I was so focused on it not ruining the counter space in the hotel. It served it's purpose of fueling me, but definitely wouldn't recommend it or go back.

    "Adobada looks very disappointing"…read more People on TikTok have been really hyping this spot up lately, so I went in expecting it to be one of those "best in San Diego" type places, but honestly that's exactly why you can't always trust food influencers who base everything off one bite and a good angle. First thing I noticed was the parking situation is rough there's basically none, and you can't even risk street parking because it's marked red, so right away it already starts off inconvenient. When we got there, the tables weren't clean, which kind of kills the vibe before you even order, but I will say the carne asada mulita actually surprised me in a good way, it was solid, flavorful, and probably the best thing we tried. They also have a bigger version called the keka that I didn't get, but I could see that being more filling if the mulita is any indication. Customer service was decent, nothing special but not bad either, just kind of there doing their job. Overall though, even with a good item on the menu, it's not enough for me to say this place lives up to the hype TikTok is pushing. In my opinion, in San Diego it's still hard to beat Tacos El Gordo, and I've seen people online try to downplay it saying places like Chula Taco are better, and I just don't think that's accurate from a real first-hand experience standpoint. At the end of the day, TikTok food reviews can be entertaining, but a lot of times it feels like people are just chasing views instead of consistency or credibility, and you really have to try places yourself before believing the hype.The adobada was a negative 5 stars just look at it adobada is not supposed to look like :( #Tacos #SanDiegoFood #TacoReview #FoodReview #StreetTacos #CarneAsada #TacoLovers #FoodTok #EatLocal #TacoLife
