We ended up getting taco de Adobada, Vampiro de Adobada and quesadillas de Adobada. They were really good. We also really liked asada fries, taco de tripa and taco de leagua. They were so good that we went back two days in a row. If you come here for service and atmosphere, then this is not the place. It's quite busy when we got there. There were long lines especially for Adobada. I had no idea how to order when i got there. It's a bit overwhelming. You have to order food first and then pay at the cashier. There are different lines for different tacos, which is time consuming to get in many lines.

I tried the el pastor tacos with the guacamole salsa and salsa de arbol (?) and I was blown away, there's something about their pastor, it's the best meat I might have ever tasted in a taco. I did order the next day and fell in love with their chorizo gringa taco and their carnaza tacos, this is the place.

The tortillas were hot, fresh, soft, and fluffy, and the meat was flavorful and generously portioned. Their guac is always fire, and I love that they don't put onions or cilantro in it! I also got sides of rice and beans--the beans are more like whole pinto beans than refried. Service was good. Delivered it to our table. My boyfriend damn near ordered every taco on the menu and devoured them all. He said they were the best tacos he's ever had! The horchata is really good, too, and there's a self-serve salsa bar so you can load up on your favorites. I also order the Revo fries frequently--super bomb! The quality and flavor of the meat, generous portions, and fresh tortillas keep me coming back. The ambience leaves a lot to be desired, but honestly, I'm coming to a taco shop for the tacos and these absolutely deliver!

It is a small location but they really have maximized the space. We had no trouble getting a booth. We ordered the fish ceviche bowl to share, which was delicious. A generous shareable serving and the fish was perfectly "cooked." Ceviches are served with your choice of tostadas or chips. I would prefer more pico and perhaps some avocado. But overall it was a 9/10 dish. I also ordered a grilled fish taco with rice and beans. The fish taco was so flavorful and stuffed full with toppings and a large piece of grilled fish. This taco was outstanding. 10/10. My partner had the surf and turf nachos which he also rated highly. I think they could have used a little more cheese. But he said the steak was tender and juicy. The shrimp were seasoned well and there were a lot of them! Everything was delicious and we will be back for sure!

I particularly enjoy the Adobada tacos from Chula Tacos because they serve a very generous portion of meat, guacamole and are very tasty. The first time I tried them was at their H Street restaurant in Chula Vista, but that location is temporarily closed.

Sometimes, there are nights when only tacos can fix me. It's no secret that San Diego has tacos in…read morespades and being so close to the border, you'd think that a quest to find the perfect taco would be as simple as rolling down to the nearest taqueria. Except, it's not quite that simple. Many beloved staples have gone downhill, while some newer spots that might boast things like a Michelin mention or multiple locations ranging from TJ to Vegas contain more hype and gristle than tender meat and substance. Enter Chula Tacos. Chula is, and always was, the type of place that makes you forget that you're not actually in Tijuana. While part of me misses their OG Market Street location, seeing them with brick-and-mortars feels hard-earned and well-deserved. This location on Palm in IB is relatively easy to access from the freeway, but parking can be tricky. You can safely assume that it will be busy and you will either have to be very lucky or be willing to find a spot on the street. Out of all the times I've been here, it's always been crowded enough that I've never been able to find a table inside, but I enjoy sitting out on the patio next to the ahumederos. The first thing that hits you walking through the door is how amazing everything smells. The queue to the cashier takes you near a window showing the kitchen where you can see the Chula Tacos team making fresh tortillas, slicing meat from the trompos, grilling up jalapenos, nopales, onions, labio, and tripa. For me, it's not so much a challenge to decide what I want, it's more a challenge to keep myself from ordering everything. My usual is four tacos: two asada, two al pastor (but I've heard that I should also try their world famous keka). The tacos though? Perfection. Every time, the asada is the juiciest and most tender I've ever eaten, the al pastor is succulent and flavorful, and no taco in front of me is long for the world. At $3.50 each, every one of them is absolutely loaded. Three would honestly fill me up, but I always want four. After getting burned by spots that ask around 75% more and deliver anywhere between 25-50% less, Chula Tacos feels like an absolute godsend of a Tijuana-style taqueria and I can't see any other contenders being my go-to. So, when I say "Tacos will fix me," what I mean nowadays is "Chula Tacos will fix me."

Customer service was cool, parking was decent, and the inside was surprisingly big with plenty of seating. It's weird how many taco places have come and gone in this location... but I'm definitely excited because my #1 fave taco spot is opening up here now. Since they closed, all I can say is: I'm hyped Chula Tacos is coming!! I already know they're gonna last!

At first I gave them a great review & last time not so great due to prices & portions. Well now over the years their prices are better than other taco shops & portions have gotten bigger. Tho they only have 3 tacos on the menu, Carne Asada, Birria, Adobada, they are good & they have one of the better Birria soup/broth in SD. Their carne asada is one of the best in SD, so juicy & soft I love it, their Birria taco is good too but I prefer their order of Birria or broth & their Adobada is ok just a bit too marinated for me. They also have burritos, tortas & Mullitas & I recommend the Carne Asada form in those because I believe they have one of the best Carne Asada meats in SD. The customer service is really good, cooks are cool & fast & the girls on the register are really nice & the place is always clean. And you know the best part, they have a dispensary/weed store next door so you can buy a joint & go smoke a joint in your car & then walk here & get a few tacos & Birria broth, now that's a perfect breakfast or lunch, tacos & weed go hand & hand baby :) Overall a good little hole in the wall taco shop if you don't want crazy long lines & good service & good tacos & Birria meat or broth this is your place.
