Enjoyed the food very much. Daughter brought me here to try it. I usually go somewhere else. I liked that I could watch the food being prepared. She had a surf turf burrito $14 and I had the Asada burrito $13. The burritos were a good size. Shop was clean and service good. The cashier was friendly. read more

Ordered 2 birria street tacos and a carne asada mulita. 1. The 2 tacos were full of meat on a soft, warm corn tortilla. Very flavorful and satisfying. 2. The mulita was 5 stars! The beans, meat and toppings is exactly what you want in a mulita. Definitely a winner and will order again and again. The only ding is that there was no salsa bar. The red taco sauce they provided was good but I was looking for more heat. Sorry no pics, when I got my order, I was memorized by the look and smells of everything that I forgot to take photos. Next time for sure! read more

Amazing staff, good food! Called in for a to go order at a certain time and they were able to accommodate me easily. read more

The staff is rude. The cashier at the register acted like he was bothered that he had to take my order. The cashier also refused to give me a cup of water " we don't give out water at all "which I later looked up to find out that it is illegal to give someone water in a restaurant when they request water. Our food came served on horrible paper plates, which looked like they had been crumpled up and used. The music was so loud I could hardly hear my wife talk. The salsa had consistency of gelatin and came out in chunks and was not smooth. It looked and tasted gross. They don't let you get your own salsa. They pull it out of the back. They also charge you for more salsa if you want more. The salsa cups are very tiny. read more

The owner is a very rude human being. We're returning customers and he complained for taking too many radishes even though I ordered more food. Half of the radishes were rotting which is why I took more after they cut fresh ones. He said he doesn't need a customer like me. I can't believe a business owner would say those kinds of word. How immature and disrespectful. I think he said those words because I'm Asian. I can't support a business when I get racist vibes from the owner. read more

Great food, great service!!! The tostado was amazing and I loved the atmosphere and space of this restaurant! The staff were kind and accommodating! We had a party of 20 and they sat us right away! read more

Just happened to be in the parking lot so we gave this place a try, glad we did. Nice selection of items and a clean place. High points, delicious chicken in the quesadilla. Great carne asada in the nachos, fresh guacamole. Outstanding bean and cheese burrito. Not so high points, charging for hot sauce and the skimpiest taquitos I've ever had, couldn't swear there was anything in them, but good guacamole again. All in all, better than average. read more

My family and I go here basically weekly (maybe even 2+ times a week) and everyone is so kind and they give off such a great vibe!! My family and my favorite dishes they make are the shrimp tacos (I mean it has grilled veggies/shrimp that are so juicy instead of those nasty cabbage/friend shrimp tacos you get everywhere else) & tacos de tripa (so crispy and yummy). We also love their agua frescas (limón con chia is our fav). 10/10 service always and love their kind smiles. Thank you! read more

I stopped at Little Mexico for some take out on my way home from the mall. I was in the mood for some shrimp tacos and I also picked up a birria bowl for my boyfriend. The tacos were juicy, a little spicy and very generous! The birria bowl was also very generous. Both were delicious. There was more than enough to fill up a man. Fyi, this restaurant is located in the food court of the mall. read more

+Again with the win! If you know me, I like to go somewhere a few times before I leave a review. For this little gem, Ive been countless times with the same result each time. First, I am greeted by the friendly staff in a peaceful environment, looking over the kitchen as they prepare the food. For a short time I drool on the window, especially when the little lady in the back smashes those perfect little balls into the tortillas they were made to be. I definitely recommend trying the Surf and Turf tacos, or any of the burritos. This place clearly has a passion for quality, you can taste it in every bite. I'm not sure, but I am pretty sure they are actually from Mexico, and have actually been passionate about this food for a lifetime... I wouldn't change a single thing about this place and am proud to say they have earned my business for years to come. read more

So far I have had the carnitas street tacos and the torta cubana and the carnitas street tacos - both were great! Service was quick and friendly. You can see the whole kitchen area so you know it is all super fresh. They have a good size dining room, not fancy but bright and pleasant. I will be back to explore the menu! read more

Best chicken torta and chicken nachos and the best spicy creamy green salsa ever!! The service is great too. Best food and people. Highly recommend. read more

Updating the pic of their pricing ! Still so fresh and homemade here. They hand-make their corn tortillas, and the guac is soo good. read more

The quality is great, always a good meal and super affordable. Something for the whole fam and consistent every time! Our go to!

I've been here twice in the past couple weeks and only discovered it when I was heading to the Taco Bar in Vista and found it is now Little Mexico. I have not been disappointed either time. Both times we experienced friendly and quick service. Not a huge menu but they do offer a good variety. I stuck with my street tacos and got a carne asada and carnitas. I get them plain, just the meat and tortilla, (I know...boring) then add some salsa and lime/lemon. My daughter got the California burrito. They do not skimp on the amount of meat and they were flavored well, without a lot of fatty pieces (I hate when that happens). They add cut radish pieces and a few wedges of lemon to the taco box/container. While on the topic of lemon wedges, the person(s) cutting them might need to go to lemon slices classes. They provide these odd cuts of lemon; some barely have any rind on them and maybe a couple drops of juice when you squeeze them. Most places I've gone to have them cut in quarters, not here. Maybe they are trying to get more wedges out of a lemon. Let's not forget the salsas. We like heat so asked for their two hottest ones. The hottest one I believe was supposed to be a mango habanero, I could be wrong. It had a good heat kick to it, but I don't know if I'd get it again, the mango (or whatever sweet it was) just didn't do it for me or my daughter. The next one was a creamier greenish looking one (nice way to describe it huh?) and it was awesome. We would get that one again for sure. A good kick of heat but not enough to grow hair on your chest. Glad it's come to Vista and look forward to many future visits to Little Mexico. read more

I've been coming to this taqueria for a while now on "Taco Tuesday" when they have specials, and it's always been great, and I had a craving today. Got a fish taco and a carne quesadilla. Both were great, and the red salsa was terrific. Prepared quickly, staff is always friendly, the place is always clean and the artwork is cool. read more

We've been going to little Mexico since it opened mostly due to proximity to our home. The bean and cheese burrito is pretty good, good chips but totally over priced, never a full container of full chips (last time we barely got half a container of totally broken chips) which I've forgiven because the guacamole is so good! To me, this is unforgivable. I unwrapped my burrito to find, not just one hair but a good clump of hair. Unfortunately, I won't have dinner tonight and will never be going back there. It was 6:30 on 3/31 - a not busy friday. People make mistakes but food's too expensive! read more

Tried to order by phone...I know it's weird but I like to try burgers from Mexican restaurants...it's on the menu. The gentleman on the phone said we don't make that. I understand no biggie was going to continue with my order and he hung up. Oh well plenty of other places to try. read more

I was heading next door into the Stater Bro's market to grab a pre-made salad or lunch plate to take with me out on the job site. I noticed the Little Mexico sign out front to be catchy with it saying "Fiery Grill". I went inside to find some interesting things on the wall and an interesting menu of sort. I ordered a Gobernador shrimp fajita burrito, but asked to have it made into a salad without the tortilla. The 'now' plate had a nice combination of shrimp, peppers, onions, cheese and pico de gallo. They even threw in a few delicious carrots to help my Keto plate. I just didn't care for the cream-based Chipotle sauce that I asked to be placed on the side. Just the grilled shrimp and veggies created enough sauce to compliment the green and red salsas. A very courteous and thoughtful service staff and chef helped me out today. An interesting new place with a clean new look. Dicks read more

This place is great. Makes tortillas fresh and their nacho chips fresh to order. Super cute little spot with great food.

This place is quite the little hidden gem! Even the decor is fun. Their Taco Tuesday offers pastor, carne asada, or chicken tacos for $1.75! These chefs work so fast, and you can see them make everything. The menu is pretty extensive, too. Oh! They also have Mexican Coke! Yum! Check it out! read more

Great food and friendly cashier. Fast service and not so crowded either. The place is clean and they keep it well maintained too.

Yo vengo todos los días a comer ese lugar y hoy solamente use el baño y el que atiende la caja bien prepotente me dijo que no puedo usar el baño si no compro nada no vuelvo a comprar más en este lugar read more

Stingy with the salsa! I ordered 9 tacos today. When I called they were very friendly and it only took 15 minutes for it to be ready. When I went to go pick up they asked me what salsa I wanted. I asked for 3 of the red and green. They informed me that with 9 tacos they could ONLY give me 3 salsas! I was shocked... that meant 1 salsa cup is for 3 tacos... They said the best they could do was 4. I don't know about you, but I like salsa on my tacos. Thank goodness I had my own salsa at home. read more

Delicious, authentic, family business with great prices that is super clean and very friendly with great menu selection

Authentic and delicious food. Sauces are obviously homemade and outstanding. Service was friendly and helpful. Counter server was patient and helpful with a newcomer like me with plenty of questions about menu items. The chicken mole enchilada tasted homemade. I gobbled it up! The Chile Relleno was soooo good; Crispy coating topped with a savory sauce. I can't wait to try more of their menu's deliciousness. I tend to judge by a restaurant's beans and tortillas; it was a definite winner here. I highly recommend this little gem tucked away in a supermarket lot. Now, if I could just find homemade Horchata... Gets really busy when nearby schools let out but still moves fairly fast. I'm so happy to have found this wonderful little place. One can't live in SoCal without having at least one go to Mexican fast food I think I've found my latest one. See you there. I'll bring the Girl Scouts cookies being sold outside the supermarket. read more
