My mom got a little confused and mixed up her order, and the gentleman at the front was so gracious, patient, and incredibly kind. And the food... omg.

Also, it's like down the street from Don Pancho's, which is where I'd probably go if I'm feeling lazy. And then, towards the east is Chula Tacos, which is probably the best joint in IB. So uuuhh, yeah. Well, this is definitely better than the burrito I got at Burritos Luna. The salsa had a little bit of chunkiness to it. For the burrito, they gave me a green sauce after I asked for it.

Tacos El Cino - A Must-Try for Adobada Vampiros…read more One of my favorite taco spots, hands down. I've tried a million places, but the adobada vampiros here keep me coming back. Think of it as a tostada sandwich with cheese on both sides, onions, cilantro, guacamole, and perfectly seasoned adobada meat. Unlike other spots where the tortilla is overcooked or turns chewy, here it's always crispy--adding a satisfying crunch to every bite. The salsa is a standout, too. There's a unique spice in it, maybe cumin, that I can't quite place, but it's delicious. They also offer a green salsa and a habanero salsa, which I'll have to try next time. The slightly sweet adobada pairs really well with the savory salsa, making every bite flavorful and balanced. I also tried the adobada keto taco--just in case I ever decide to do healthier Yelp reviews. It has all the same ingredients but swaps the tortilla for a cheese shell. Surprisingly, the shell held up well with all the toppings and had a great taste, just slightly less filling. If you're thinking about going keto but don't want to give up tacos, this is a solid option.

Tacos El Gordo is an absolute beast of a business…read more Their team is producing thousands of tacos at lightening speed, all made on freshly crafted tortillas, featuring a variety of hand carved meats. How it works: you'll enter the business, grab a tray, go window to window collecting your choice of street style tacos. Once you're ready to eat, you'll purchase your final picks with the cashier. While this spot is affordable, it's not cheap. These tacos quickly add up and you could easily spend $20-30 a person depending on your hunger level. I tried a number of carne asada tacos, the cactus tacos, a tostada, quesadilla, and French fries. It's hard to choose a favorite since each item is so uniquely delicious.

Parking 3/5 -parking lot in front of the restaurant has…read moreabout 20 spots that are shared with other shops in the plaza so you most likely have to park across the street in the residential area during busy hours Service 4/5 -server is friendly and accommodating however feels understaffed during busy times, the owner is always present and very helpful and enthusiastic/passionate with customers, honestly great service! Just be more patient and mindful that they're doing the best they can Food 5/5 -mixed(surtido) and cheek(cachete) tacos, meat is TENDER. I honestly can't taste the difference between the two, I just knew I wanted to keep eating them(even after eating 3). Sturdy tortillas so the tacos weren't falling apart as I was eating, I also really liked that each table had two squeeze bottles of salsa, so convenient -orden/order, if you come here, you have to order this soup with the head meat. It's the essence that sums up the restaurant, it's a little peppery with the sweetness from the diced onions and meaty goodness. It comes with about 4 tortillas and there's a lot of meat in the soup to be made into more tacos Ambiance 5/5 -restaurant was full of people eating food happily(obviously the food was delicious) and there was a guy that sang for donations and vendors that came through selling trinkets, just a mixing pot of life and happy place to eat

That being said, I ordered a pair of sunshine tacos with their eggs scrambled. The tacos came with delicious re-fried chorizo beans, pico de gallo, house-made red salsa, and garnished with a sliver of fresh avocado at $3.50 a piece. The tacos were delicious. I liked that the corn tortillas had that wet appearance from adding a touch of oil to the hot griddle. The eggs were very well scrambled and seasoned, but what really shined were the beans. They were outstanding. The pico was fresh and tasty, and the house red salsa was very tasty and provided a medium heat. I a little more or larger slice of avocado would be nice. Sophia and Frida were both very nice. Sophia was super welcoming and helpful, and Frida was full of smiles. I love happy service and great food.

As time has gone on, though, it's lost its lustre, and in a big way. We ordered two Adobada tacos, a Carnitas taco, a Carne Asada taco and a cruncy beef taco to go yesterday, and were absolutely shocked at the poor quality. This was Saturday at 6:00 PM; this was not an off-time or one-off. This was dinner rush, and they should have had their A-game. Not even close. The Carne Asada was old and chewy, and had an off-taste. This had obviously been cooked hours before. The Adobada was equally chewy, and the crunchy beef taco was filled with old and hard beef. Carnitas was fair to middling. What gives? Why the TOTAL lack of quality control? You should be ASHAMED to send out food this old and unedible. We will never be back to this location - Shameful quality, and not recommended. REMOVED from Best of San Diego list.
