We…read morewere greeted and seated by a very friendly young lady, who recommended the outdoor dining area behind the restaurant--and it was a great call. The space was really nice, and the weather made it even better. We started with chips and guacamole, both of which were excellent. The chips were clearly made fresh, not the usual bagged stuff, and it showed. The aguas frescas were also made from scratch. We tried the horchata and jamaica, and both tasted incredibly fresh and so good. I even asked the owner to confirm, and he backed it up, our taste buds didn't lie. For our meals, we had the chicken tinga enchiladas, which were amazing, like something mom used to make. We also tried the veggie tacos, and they were just as good. The nopales were especially impressive. The service was extremely friendly, the food was great, and the location made the whole experience even better. Looking forward to coming back, thank you!

The location for this restaurant is great they have the option to eat indoors or outdoors. The accessible option was to eat only outside which could be viewed as inaccessible especially during the cold weather. (Didn't ask if they had a ramp to possible go inside so they might be able to make accommodation) The tables outside were bar height that is a little too high for an electric wheelchair user. Overall the food and ambience was amazing I would definitely recommend giving it a try.

Decided to come in over the weekend, the town was extremely crowded, like overly crowded. But the restaurant really wasn't too busy so we decided to eat here. There was maybe 3 or 4 other groups of people there at the time. Our food took over 40 minutes from time of order to receive it. Mind you we didn't get anything fancy. The birria soup was extremely salty and the burger patty was extremely small for the price. We only ended up getting the fries and onion rings pictured because another party decided to leave and were nice enough to offer us their appetizers so they didn't go to waste. Our server was nice but once the place started to get busy we barely saw her. They were definitely short staffed over the busy holiday weekend.

This is some of the best Mexican Food I've had in a long time. And this is coming from someone…read morewho's lived in San Diego all of his life (and is now in LA!) Service was amazing, so quick to come out with fresh chips and salsa (FRESH! as in they made the chips in-house... rare trait to come by these days IMO). Quantity of food was incredible. I can't speak for the menudo (dad got this) or for the 3 egg platter (not really sure why my mom got this) but $16 for a carne asada burrito as well as the beans, rice, and veggies on the side was such a steal. Especially in Anza Borrego. I would've thought it would maybe be more expensive since it probably costs a lot to bring out the best ingredients in the desert but somehow they have it all figured out. The carne asada burrito meat was top tier. Smoky flavor, soft with charred edges, so flavorful and overall the quantity of the burrito was way more than I was expecting. Lastly, I'm just so happy my dog got to sit outside with us. They have a shaded patio with a couple tables. I think other pet parents followed suit, as this seems to be a hit for dog-friendly spots here in Anza Borrego. I'd highly recommend. What a great find by me. Go me!! This is truly a hole in the wall that needs more recognition. You won't be let down!

It was late in the day, just after 2pm before closing at 3pm. They were sold out of couple side items. It was a bit windy that day, so it was very chilly. We started with a cup of creamy tomato soup. That hit the warm cozy spot! We decided on the bbq brisket sandwich with the potato salad. OMG, it was the perfect pairing! The sweetness of the sauce from the brisket and the tangy potato salad. I ate every bite together! I love fries and sweet potato fries, but they were sold out. Staff were super nice! There were still customers coming in for lunch after us. There is a small outdoor patio area where you can eat if you have dogs. Lunch was so yummy!

Plants hanging from the ceiling and painting on the walls. We decided to have an early lunch and arrived around 1030am on a Sat. and holiday weekend. (MLK). Great choice since we missed the crowds. I ordered hot green tea which was served in a cute teapot. Which they also sell. I decided on the soup and 1/2 sandwich special. The BLT and the vegetable soup was so flavorful. Wished I had ordered a full order. My husband ordered the Curry Tuna sandwich with a side of potato salad. I'm not a fan of curry but if you are this sandwich is amazing. And the potato salad had so much flavor. Everything we ate was amazing. Service was great too. I would highly recommend. 5 Stars for sure!!

Decided to give it another try and ordered a wet chicken burrito à la carte. I was shocked when I got the bill - $21.

There is better Mexican food in town at a much more reasonable price and free chips and salsa to get ripped off here.

We booked Tacos El Gabacho for a milestone birthday celebration…read more Maria and Devan were personable and easy to work with in the process. I'm a TOTAL novice at using caterers and probably asked quite stupid questions. I certainly needed a lot of hand-holding along the way. I found them more responsive by phone and text communication than by email. Regardless, they adjusted our order to exactly what I wanted and we only had 25 people in attendance. I was hoping they'd be able to set up in our backyard, but the cart couldn't fit through our gate, so driveway it was. They made it look so nice and official that some of our neighbors came by, wanting to buy tacos! The smells wafting around the neighborhood were great. We had a lot of kids in attendance and so they made quesadillas an option. My younger daughter loved the horchata especially. ;) My very favorite items turned out to be the beans and the freshly made (on site) tortillas. I mean, who does that?! It was awesome. My only complaints (and please notice that they're insufficient to knock off even a single star) is that I'm very picky about any gristle or excess "texture" in my meats ... and the carne asada had some of that. That wasn't to my taste. But my guests seemed entirely pleased. Oh, and we added cooked veggies to our order to accommodate for vegetarians and I didn't think they were well-seasoned enough. Still, the salsas, cilantros, and guac could compensate for that. I hope we get to work with Maria and her team again. They helped me package up leftovers and we have TONS remaining. Wow. Thank you for making our event special and a success! My husband, the focus of the party, LOVED every bit of it and only raved about how delicious everything was.
