    Trinity
    Hadley H.

    Having grown up in south Texas I've missed the sacred meal that is the breakfast taco. No other place outside of San Antonio / Austin have come close to delivering the perfect breakfast taco, but HomeState has done it! Specifically the trinity taco is *chefs kiss*! Plus the vibes and decor are great! The staff is super friendly at all locations I've been to. Such a feeling of warmth and like coming home

    Such a fun unique spot. Flower tortillas have butter so be aware if you're allergic to dairy. I think the service is top notch and they have a huge staff which I'm a fan of. I also like that they do a partnership with bands. Leon Bridges had a taco which I believe proceeds go towards a charity. I can get behind that. The place just feels hip and the food is satisfying. Bathrooms were clean and it is in the coolest part of Oceanside right next to Tanners.

    The best tortillas I've ever had! Only four ingredients.
    Libby J.

    These are the best tortillas ever! Made of four ingredients. I would highly recommend a visit to HomeState for tacos and tortillas. They use said flour tortillas for the tacos, although we also purchased a dozen tortillas since they tasted so fresh and amazing. In addition, I got a Ranch salad which was jam packed with fresh ingredients and also a good size side of soyrizo for $4. I didn't even notice the missing avocado on the salad until we had left the restaurant because I was so distracted with the delicious tortillas. The collective of restaurants here has limited parking. I don't know how the burger place next door was more packed than HomeState because this spot has fresh and delicious items.

    I stopped by on a Saturday afternoon around 1 PM. You order at the counter, and the line moved quickly. Once we ordered, our food came out in about 10 minutes. We ordered: *Tijuana Panther: I had this on a corn tortilla. It felt dry and lacked flavor. *Chips & Queso: Pretty solid, and the small order came with a generous portion. *Crispy Potatoes: The first batch was soft instead of crispy. We mentioned it to the staff, and they made a fresh batch right away, which was delicious. The sauce it comes with is great too. They have a self-serve area for water and condiments. You bus your own table, but the employees still went above and beyond. A couple of them checked in on us while we were eating. When I asked for a to-go box, they packed a bag with chips on top of the containers without me asking. Really thoughtful. There's both indoor and outdoor seating, and the space feels open and bright. Overall, the employees were phenomenal, and service was quick. The food, though, is just okay.

    Brisket
    Zana K.

    The tacos were okay. The brisket taco we ordered was cold but they brought us a new one that was much better. The breakfast taco with eggs cheese and bacon was good. The chorizo and egg taco was not it. Maybe we came at a bad time but nothing we ate stood out. Everything was pretty average and not memorable. The service was friendly and i appreciated their effort to get us a fresh taco. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating available.

    Loaded queso w/brisket, Trinity, Guadalupe, large margarita on the rocks

    Stopped by for a late lunch and enjoyed my meal. What I ate: - Trinity Taco: pretty much the perfect brekkie taco - eggs, bacon, cheese potato. Really satisfying to eat - Guadalupe taco: Chorizo, eggs and cheese, this was also great but I think I think I prefer the trinity taco - Loaded queso w/brisket: this was perfect queso, hearty brisket, sour cream, guac, pico de gallo. Great to share for the table, or just be greedy and crush it all by yourself like the champ you are - Large margarita on the rocks: My rule of thumb is always go for the larger size when offered. I thought this was kinda great for a margarita, zippy, sour, strong. I preferred it on the rocks, but they offer it as a frozen slushy as well Pros: - Those tortillas! I love homestate's flour tortillas, homemade, slightly thick, but pretty perfect. If you're a corn tortilla die hard, those are offered to, but live a little and try the flour ones - Red and green hot sauce in squeeze bottles, both were delicious - Staff walked by at least twice during my meal to check in on me. Super sweet - A few table inside as well as plenty of tables on a patio overlooking the parking lot. Two long bar seating areas as well - Order came out pretty quickly Cons: - Teeny tiny parking lot. I circled the block twice, and both times it was full. After finding street parking I came back, and found 2 spots open. This lot can be busy with the bakery and burger place next door. - Price is on the expensive side Would I come again? Yea

    Potato (vegetarian)
    Christine D.

    Walked in knowing I wanted a breakfast taco and an anytime taco. Walked out with the Trinity, Tijuana Panther, and potato tacos per the cashier's recommendation. They were all delicious, but the potato was my favorite. Not only do I love potatoes, this was one of the most well distributed taco I've had. I got guacamole in every bite!

    Good breakfast tacos. Small but at a good price they offer flower and corn tortillas which was nice. The ambience was casual and friendly. The family really liked this place. Maya was helpful.

    I decided to stop by here on the way home from San Diego! I heard about HomeState from an old YouTube video and it was always on my list of must try's. Ambiance/Service: This is a fast casual Tex mex place that specializes in breakfast tacos. There's plenty of seating but it does get chilly in there so bring a jacket. The woman who helped us was informative and kind, giving her suggestions on what to order. Food Consensus: My family and I ordered an array of breakfast tacos. I ordered the Trinity and Pecos. The tacos weren't bad but they weren't the best either. Out of the 2, I would recommend the Pecos. I also tried both the corn and flour tortillas and I think the flour is superior to the corn. The corn tortilla was a bit dry for my taste. I think at $4-6 per taco, the price point is a bit steep based on the size and quality of the taco. I would like a bit more filling in the tacos and flavoring on the salsas. I think my expectations were a bit higher because of the video I saw. I would go if I needed a fast and easy quick bite but I wouldn't go out of my way to get homestate.

    A taste like Torchys but closer to home. I've had HomeState on my list for quite a while, but I'm rarely in Oceanside. When I found myself in the area, I knew I had to visit! The breakfast tacos are absolutely delicious! I ordered the trinity (egg, cheese, bacon and potato) and Chicano Batman (soy based picadillo, guac and potato). The trinity was my preferred taco and I think I'll stick to the breakfast menu moving forward, because they were so good! I got one taco on flour and one on corn and I definitely preferred the flour. You can tell its homemade and was the perfect chewy and fluffy?! I wish I had bought a bag of tortillas just to take home. The chicano batman was good as well, but the meat got a little saucy and overwhelming and I liked the breakfast taco more. They pair them with delicious salsas though. The queso was a nice addition to the mix and we were offered more chips when we finished our tray. Even though this is an order at the counter situation, the folks were so friendly and attentive.

    Nachos
    Lora B.

    Stopped in here on a whim cuz I'd seen it on Instagram enough that I thought I should check it out finally. They did not disappoint at all! Service was super easy, they took my order properly and fast. The nachos were piled HIGH with meat and other delicious toppings with various flavors that complemented each other perfectly.i especially loved how thinly sliced their jalapeños are so I could get some with each bite. I can see why the queso is their star and would probably go back for just chips, queso, and drinks. Plenty of seating but we stayed outside for some nice pre-summer evening weather.

    Kristine T.

    My husband and I rarely go to Oceanside but we thought to try this place out. SERVICE - This spot offers counter service where you place your order, grab a number, and find a table. FOOD Ranch Salad - A solid taco salad with a good mix of toppings and plenty of flavor. Nachos - Generously stacked with toppings and had good flavor overall, but the pickled onions dominated the dish a bit too much. Tacos - We tried both the breakfast and brisket tacos, but the flavors didn't come together well. Both felt bland, and nothing really stood out. A mixed experience overall, with some highlights, but we would not go back. There are better tacos elsewhere.

    Tijuana Panthers
    Chelsea F.

    I've been to 2 different locations and they are similar in vibes, food, quality..etc. I like the convenience and affordability of breakfast tacos, and that there's something for everyone. Quick pick-me-up after a hike, or to pair with a coffee run. They also don't skimp out on the filling. My only complaint is that it feels like something is missing from the tacos. I'm not sure what it is. They get the job done, but that doesn't mean they're mind blowing or anything. I really don't want to hate on this establishment because the employees are kind and the interior is great... I'm just not wowed by the tacos themselves. With that being said, my favorite is probably the Tijuana Panthers - I thought it had the most flavor overall and I would get it again. Got this based on a recommendation from the guy at the register - props to him!

They have the best molcajete and fajitas around, at the best prices. We are here just to see if Cocina Del Mar is better. Long story short: it's not. However, their ceviche is AMAZING. Best ceviche I have had in north county San Diego outside of Dija Mara (which has the best ceviche in the known universe). It is extremely fresh and not overpowered by acidity, fishy smells or rubbery shrimp. The ceviche here is legit. Great. AND ONLY $10 (for cameron). If you order anything here, get the ceviche first. I'm anxious to try their aguachile now. We also ordered the fajitas ("suprema" with chicken, steak and shrimp). Fajitas did not come out sizzling at all. I have never seen this before. Also, there were only two shrimp. The steak/carne was bland and dry. Not great. Wife ordered the Sopes (3) and mother ordered the Enchiladas Cameron. The sopes were okay, but a bit bland. Wife had to salt everything on the plate. The enchiladas had a sauce my mom said was too sweet. She wasn't a fan. For all three dishes to be a miss is completely strange considering the sheer number of 5-star reviews. I want to believe. We must have come on an off-day, but the place was busy. Quite a few larger parties were here, so this place is popular with the natives. We also grabbed a Model and a Corona. Only $5 for the beers! Total for everything came to $117.64 (with tip). I would absolutely come back for the ceviche and to give them another shot by trying a different dish. I snapped pics of the menu so you can see the latest prices. Check it out.
