Best flan in San Diego so far!!!!! Most authentic Mexican flan I've had yet. And the tacos are delicious!!!! This is a must try if you like Mexican food.
I sampled three of their tacos: Asada, Carnitas, and Pastor. They are mid-sized rather than the street or large size, with house-made tortillas that are fresh, tender, and delicious. Topped with cilantro and onions but no light guacamole cream like many other places. The Asada was my least favorite as it was not well-seasoned, the little cubes were chewy, and there was some gristle. The Pastor was average, and Carnitas the best with very good flavor and some crispy bits. Chips cost extra at $1.50 and they're perfectly light and crispy, but unsalted. Four salsas are available at the bar: medium hot red, mild tomatillo, mild creamy green (not sure of the flavor), and a very hot green (I think tomatillo with serrano or some other pepper).
Quick, clean, and delicious! Famous for their tacos which you can't go wrong with. We decided to try the huaraches plate and Gorditas plate. Our favorite was the Conchita Pebil. It was juicy and flavorful! They have a serve yourself salsa bar and the salsa was spicy and tangy.
This is a large taco shop, it's not the fanciest place, the service is just okay. It depends on the crowd and what you order to determine the time to get your food. The menu is not that extensive, but mainly consists of tacos, and there's not many vegetarian options. I decided on the huevos rancheros, since there is breakfast in the morning/early afternoon. This plate was different than what I have experienced somewhere else, just the quality is not as good. The rice and beans are okay, but seem to lack flavor. There's a salsa bar so that can help.
Ok so I've been here a few times and I've come to enjoy their food. The salsa bar has all you need to make your tacos tasty. They have a huge kitchen with a mix of chairs and booths with different colors which makes you feel like you're in a taco shop in TJ. The decor is authentic too with big signs of Mexican sodas and beers. The food is legit and the service is decent as there isn't really much of a staff working here. I enjoy the adobada as well as the Barbacoa. They offer several types of salsa that are sure to tickle your fancy as well as Tiffany and Nancy lol. If you like soccer, boxing or telenovelas you'll be glad you stopped in here. If you don't like either of these, you'll probably want to take your food to go. I suggest brining cash as they do charge fifty cents of paying with card. Remember to tip well.
I had to try this place a couple times to make sure good it is!! Their small little Street style tacos are the bomb!! I usually order their chicken or carne asada quesadillas which are small and amazing. I haven't explored the menu to much beyond those tacos because they are so good I keep getting them. This Mexican food place is decent size, like double the size of your usual Mexican spot. No drive thru option but they are fast and located right off the freeway @ the 78 and 15 intersection. This last time I went there I noticed another patron enjoying their soup (which looked amazing!!).. I'll definitely be back this is a good unassuming place that you could easily drive past a hundreds of times before you noticed it.. Try it, and happy eating!!
The food is good here and we've dinner in before, we ordered Togo for the first time and our order was incorrect. I asked for 2 carnitas sopes no tomato no lettuce, 1 pollo sope no tomato no lettuce and 2 carne asada tacos plain. I received the tacos correct but on all the sopes they were missing crema and queso fresco. The only thing the sopes had was beans and choice of meat. Very disappointed on the first time ordering Togo.
Best tacos and Micheladas in North County, hands down! This place is super authentic and very affordable. We usually order a variety of tacos to share. If you like cheese on your tacos like I do, order the quesadilla de maiz and choose your meat. The carne asada and al pastor are my personal favorites, but the chicken and carnitas are also very good. My husband likes to order the nachos with al pastor and a Michelada (or two!). They have a serve yourself bar for the salsas and toppings. The salsas are very good, but on the spicier side. If you like mild, go with the avocado salsa, which is not spicy at all. You can also get onion, cilantro, and hot carrots at the salsa bar. The restaurant itself is fairly large and can accommodate larger groups. You order at the counter, pay, and then they bring your food to you. You can also order to go and I believe they do catering as well. I would eat here every day if I could! I can't wait to go back!
I really enjoy eating at Taqueria La Takiza The food is awesome and the people who work there are friendly and the atmosphere is very comfortable relaxed
Re Visited 3/28/2024 Wow this place has always been my go to place for great Street Tacos. The Great Protein selection is so worth a visit to try them all. The Birria is so tender and flavorful hard to stop eating once you start. The Carnitas has such great flavor. 14 different Proteins to choose from for your tacos. Great place to visit.. read more

I have driven by this place for years and never stopped by. Rolled tacos are clearly made in house. They had the perfect texture. They are served with sour cream, guacamole salsa, and lettuce. I also ordered a flour pollo quesadilla. It was good sized, melted cheese (super whack when the cheese isn't melted),with both white and dark meat. It had plenty of chicken inside. The salsa bar has 4 varieties. The darker green is spicier than you would think, but not super spicy. Don't sleep on the avocado salsa. Service was quick. One of the cooks came out to chat. He was very nice. He gave me owner vibes. The world cup was playing on multiple TVs. I would come back. read more
Good spot right in a busy strip mall. Kool ambiance with posters & art on the walls & very spacey not cramped tables & booths. Service was quick and painless with a wide variety of meats & food. The ONE thing that coulda got them higher was: NO avocado or guacamole on any of the tacos! To me that's sacrilegious!!! Tacos have to have at least an avocado slice or guacamole!!! Otherwise all pretty good!! Prices fair for amount of filling as well. read more

You can't go wrong with tacos. Well actually.. you can lol. Ive seen cheap tacos and these where actually really good without being too stingy with the meat. Hit the spot for my TJ taco fix. Don't come up in there expecting some over the top taco that you know would be $3.50 each, these tacos are $1.75... you know your getting a basic taco. What stands out for them though are the OPTIONS OF MEAT they have! Not all places offer many of these options. Tried almost all flavors, all where good. Haven't tried anything else on the menu but I will be back here to try their Menudo and Birria I heard others ordering read more

La Takiza is our second go-to spot for Mexican food. Let's be honest, there's a lot of spots to choose from, but we go here because 1) it's close to home 2) meat selection is varied and good 3) It's a clean restaurant and 4) Service is quick and friendly. I've tried different tacos and they were all good, but the ones that stood out were barbacoa and tripa. The barbacoa is yummy, tender, marinated beef. The tripa is slightly crispy and rich. If you're weirded out by eating "stranger" animal parts, just don't ask what it is before you try it. Adobada is good here, but I prefer another spot for adobada tacos. The salsa bar is well-stocked, I like the green tomatillo sauce, hubby likes the smoky red one. Hubby has tried a California burrito and was disappointed because the fries weren't cooked thoroughly, but we recently tried a regular barbacoa burrito and it was yummy! Lately, we've been enjoying the meat plate. It comes with your choice of meat, warm tortillas (they make their own!) with a side of rice and beans. It's like a build your own taco meal, but you know, a lot bigger and better. read more

Good micheladas, but very disappointed in the miscommunication on their websites. Came here at 9:10 pm with my amigas excited for a michelada since online it told me it closes at 10 pm, but when I showed up it was closed!!! I am frustrated that I went all the way there to find out it was close when online it said a whole different thing. Please fix that so no one else gets lead on when they're craving a michelada. Now I'm on my way to añejos since they close at 10 pm like their website says. read more
Updated review: I came here for the second time and I ordered the California burrito. The fries were seriously undercooked and the whole thing was sad and soggy. About halfway through, my burrito basically gave up on itself and fell apart. First time coming here. The venue is very large and spacious. The food is well-priced. I tried huaraches for the first time. It was a bit toasty for my taste, but pretty good. They have a mariachi man walking around; he is so cute! Overall a great experience. read more
Nasty this place is pretty gross. The salsa bar is pretty watered down the onion was like see through and the cilantro was black, and the lemons were dry and hard. this place was pretty gross. I ordered 2 Cabeza and 2 lengua and the meat literally tasted gross some off taste not sure but I could not eat it I tossed most of it out. I probably won't be back it was that gross! read more

Okay, so I guess I'm the first gringo with a smartphone to wander into this place... what can I say: I'm brave. La Takiza is a no-frills TJ style Taqueria. Tacos are $1.45/ea and there is a variety of "meats" to chose from. I tried the asada and adobada. You basically get a handful of meat slapped onto a 6" corn tortilla and add your own toppings. While the asada was nothing to write home about, the adobada was quite tasty. Cheap and fast. I'd come back... read more
