I'll start by saying I grew up in NM the land of enchantment and Mexican food to die for. I think I've tried every single Mexican food spot in SD by this point. This place is NEXT LEVEL! The carnitas taco with Serrano creamy salsa is like heaven on earth. The quality of meat, homemade tortillas and quac. Too die. The carne asada taco takes a close second. The prices are unbelievable and I promise you cannot go wrong here. Yum. read more

This place is always good. Friendly and caring staff. You can tell they really care about their customers. Porko Verde fries are so so good!

Their food is delicious! We ordered to go. We were extremely happy with the veggie bowl (me) & the carnage asada burrito (my husband). We would definitely get their food again. Try it! You won't be disappointed. m~ read more

Los Tacos catered our wedding rehearsal dinner and we had a great experience! The food tasted fresh, authentic and full of flavor, with unique touches. Armando the manager made himself available by phone ahead to answer all my questions. We confirmed the order, and he was open to last minute additions. He was confident about the portions, and he was right on. We especially loved the wonderful meats (Sirloin steak asada, al pastor with pineapple, and chicken), large variety of salsas and freshly made corn tortillas and chips. The team was helpful and responsive. Thank you! read more

I've recommended this place to many people, but not quite sure what happened with my last order. Still generously giving four stars for flavor, but the grilled fish tacos that used to be amazing are now street taco size and had maybe had one ounce of fish. And, they didn't include requested sides of salsa. I paid for an 8oz container of salsa that was included, but a couple of sides of different salsas that were requested would have been appreciated. I understand prices on things are crazy right now, but paying $5 for tacos that are 3 bites, I'm hesitant to re-order for now. read more

I was really impressed with the food here. Affordable and delicious. I ordered the El Pastor burrito, with pineapple. I recommend this place to anyone with an appetite for Mexican food. Small place, but comfortable.service is friendly and fast. read more

I was searching for a breakfast burrito & landed on this spot. My husband and I ordered two breakfast burritos (eggs potatoes bacon cheese, and el pastor eggs potatoes cheese). Ordered online for pick up, service was efficient, my order was ready within 10min, burritos were piping hot & wow were they GOOD!! Think we found our new go to spot for breakfast burritos. Will definitely be back! read more

Food is so flavorful and delicious. I've had several of the tacos. Diabla shrimp And the Baja fish taco both are amazing. I recently tried the spicy surf and turf burrito. Huge burrito and so good. They have many different salsas and that's a plus ! Photos of my lunch today the Baja dish taco. They are not skimpy either. Mmmm read more

Disappointed with the food here. Ordered the surf and turf burrito and it lacked flavor. The carne asada and carnitas tacos soggy, over did it with salsa Fresca. I asked if we can redo and was denied. The ambiance was a little nuts. The Carlsbad location is far better. read more

I'm from Palm Springs and was craving a California burrito after a day on the beach. It was after 8 and a lot of spots were already closed so we drove out to Los Tacos. Totally worth it. We tried the surf and turf burrito, California burrito and the magnifico tacos. I would reorder all these items. Plus the chipotle sauce. So good. Wish I got pics of the food but we were eating in the car. Service was really kind too. Definitely worth checking out! read more

Service was good. Food came out quickly. Now the bad...Salsa cups are waaaay too small. Like spilling salsa everywhere just to get it in the tiny cup. We took our food to go. About a five minute drive. 3 taco combo and not a hint of warmth was left in the meat. TLDR: Go here if you want cold food. I'd rather spend my money at Sharkey's. read more

Driving from LA to S. D. We stopped at los tacos place for carne asada burritos... let me tell ya... they were not kidding when they said massive burritos! Besides that size, they were so delicious and I was really happy because sometimes if the food is massive the flavor is minimal! The restaurant is modern and very clean! The customer service was fenomenal! Super welcoming and very grateful for your business! We will be coming back soon! Thank you! read more

The workers were nice. We ordered two tacos and a burrito. The wait was 35 minutes. The food was average, especially because we waited so long. read more

I ordered from Los tacos on Uber eats. They didn't include half my order (including food for my daughter) in my delivery.. do better. Also, they didn't include salsa for the tacos, burrito, or bowl I ordered (I even ordered an 8 oz container of salsa to make sure I got salsa and they forgot to include that too.....) won't be eating here again. read more

First time trying Los Tacos and it was way better than expected. Every taco I had was juicy with tons of flavors from the combination of the meat, pineapple, and guacamole! They make their own tortilla's and the texture was phenomenal. They also give multiple options of hot sauces and the habanero one was the right amount of sweet and spicy that balanced out all of the other flavors. You can also request grilled peppers on the side and it's definitely worth getting when you when an extra kick of spice with every bite of your taco. My experience was nice and smooth, the hostess answered all my questions and concerns about the menu without hesitation. The wait for the food wasn't long either, I got my order within 5 minutes. For the most part, the restaurant was clean with lots of room to sit. The kitchen part has a glass wall so you can see everything the chefs are doing which is fun to watch. Overall, great experience and I would recommend coming here for tacos! read more

Los Tacos - Al Pastor Taco - Tacos Near Me - Encinitas, California

Ordered a California burrito after craving it all week and was extremely disappointed. No sour cream, doesn't come with guacamole. My husband added guacamole to his and it was a very small amount. Basically just steak, pico, and fries. Very dry and not good. Will not be back. Also steak seemed a bit pink - as someone who is trying to be careful early pregnancy that was very disappointing as I couldn't eat it. Steak is supposed to be well done in a cali burrito. read more

Tried the California burrito! It was the best burrito I've had. The overall sound inside was nice lots of family in there, the food came quick. And the people working there were nice and brought out the food quick! read more

Freshly made, fast and inexpensive. (I didn't think the prices were out of line for what we got, but I'm from the bay area so maybe I just didn't notice?) We got 2 fish tacos, a half order of fries and a fish taco platter (3 tacos, rice and beans) for under $25. The fish was battered and fried while we watched, none of that frozen stuff. This was the real deal. We sat at the window and watched the cooks while we waited. The pastor seemed to be the most popular meat, if fish isn't your thing. I'm sorry I don't live closer, but then again, I'd probably eat here more than was good for me. But if you, give this place a try. You won't be sorry. read more

Food (5/5 stars): These tacos are AMAZING. It's a close call between the Carne Asada and Al Pastor, but I had a slight preference for the Al Pastor because it was so flavorful. I still recommend trying both though Experience (5/5 stars): * Price: reasonable * Wait Time: minimal * Service: very good and friendly * Parking: there's a parking lot * Ambiance: it's a nice quick service restaurant read more

Los Tacos - Awesome salsa bar! - Tacos Near Me - Encinitas, California

San Diego Taco Series, Part 2 If you were following our 1st installment in this series then you'll recall that we began the season with the All Star Game. In reality, being selected to participate in the All Star Game only means something if the selection process is exclusive. In other words, not everyone can get that honor. Now does that make their efforts meaningless? Hardly. At Henry's Take we don't hand out participation trophies. Participation ribbons? Well, if we had an actual budget, then yeah. Probably. And so it is with "Los Tacos." Did they do well? Yep, sure did. All Star Game invite? Not this season. Their rolled tacos paired nicely with both salsas that they offered us. The fish, pollo, and carnitas tacos all attended the event well dressed and needed no accompaniment while strolling down the red carpet. Is this a destination taco location? Not in our estimation. However, if you find yourself in Encinitas they are certainly worth a visit. And that's...Henry's Take. #sandiegotacos read more

Walked in. It was very clean. The woman taking our order was very thorough and polite. When we ordered our burritos she asked if we wanted salsa and gave us an extra flavor to try. Extremely accommodating. The food came in 4 minutes. The burritos were massive. I got the original breakfast burrito with carne asada and he got the California burrito. As pictured. We ate in under 15 minutes because they were delicious. We didn't leave anything on our plates. If you are looking for a massive tasty burrito, go. Go now! So so good! 12/10 would go back and would recommend. Also bathrooms were clean. :) read more

Los Tacos - Top: California Burrito Bottom: Original Breakfast Burrito - Tacos Near Me - Encinitas, California

Still terrific. I tried the Spicy Surf and Turf burrito and it's a monster. The shrimp was delicious but, honestly, the carne asada was a little tough. And it is pretty spicy even before adding any of their nuclear-hot hot sauce so fair warning. I also tried the shrimp tacos and they were good, too. But I prefer the burritos here. This is really good fast Mexican food. read more

Super cute spot! Stopped in on our drive down from OC. My husband is a BIG fan of breakfast burritos, so we found this spot. The first thing I noticed is how clean it was when we walked in. The cashier was a total sweetheart. We ordered the Machaca burrito. It was pretty bomb! It's hard to find a breakfast burrito that really is unique, since we have Mexican food quite a bit. I can tell you when food is mediocre and this was not. It was tasty! The prices were decent. They had some specials on their menu, the music was upbeat, and this looks like it would be a fun place to check out for Taco Tuesday. If I'm in the area again, I will definitely stop by! read more

I had an amazing breakfast burrito here today. The tortilla was hot and all the ingredients tasted fresh and amazing. It's a bit on the pricey side ($12.45 for my burrito), but that's to be expected in Encinitas. I would definitely come here again in the future when I'm really hungry. The burrito was massive! read more

We ordered our food to go. My wife placed a phone order and then picked it up. Both the phone call and her in-store experience were great. The tacos here are very good. I especially like the cabeza, the grilled fish, and the shrimp tacos. My new obsession is the ABC burrito. The execution is superb. Fluffy scrambled eggs, perfectly cooked bacon, ripe avocado and the right amount of melty cheese. It arrived at the house piping hot. In general, we've been pleased with our orders over the past few years. read more

In my opinion, this is the best California burrito around. Los Tacos (and its locations in Oceanside) is consistently delicious. Great burrito and a great variety of sauces! I wish this location had an open salsa bar, it's a bit annoying having to ask the cashier for salsas. read more

Los Tacos - Encinitas (A-) Loved this place. Sure, there are other spots that have a better Adobada or Asada, but this place offers fast-food pricing, with high quality for both meat and seafood tacos - that was impressive! I'm now torn on where to rank them with TJ's, El Gordon, and Craft & Taco lounge. If I specifically just wanted Adobada & Beef Tongue, I guess TJ's wins for me. But if I feel like a mix of stuff, Los Tacos ranks very highly for me. ----------------------------------------------------- My friend had 1 day to spend in San Diego. He actually worked in the food & bev industry in Hong Kong, so tasted pretty much anything one can think of, from local cheap eats all across Asia, to Michelin fine dining. And he asked me what's unique in San Diego. To me, that has to be tacos. So, our first stop with TJ's since their adobada is one of my favorites. I also took the opportunity to try the beef tongue, also pretty wonderful and will be ordering that instead of asada in future visits. My plan was to then take him to Craft & Taco Lounge so he gets to sample both street tacos and modern tacos, but apparently, many taco places are closed on Mondays. Referring back to my taco hopping list, I had yet to try Los Tacos so off we went. I had low hopes when I saw the store front. Too clean a building to be down & dirty street tacos, situated next to a Peets Coffee, it looked like a regional fast food chain. I walked in and saw the unimpressive meat pit, and a bunch of veggies being grilled on a hot plate that reminded me of Chipotle. Did I bring my buddy to the wrong place in the one day he gets to spend here? We studied the pretty expansive menu, and settled on 5 different tacos and a shrimp ceviche. Baja shrimp taco (A): nicely marinated, beautifully crunchy outside, fresh "springy" meat with seafood sweetness. This was the highlight taco for me. Al pastor (A-): meat had very nice crust, smokey, maybe a touch less tasty than TJ's, but the great mix of avocado and pineapples really enhanced the overall taco. Baja fish (B+): nicely fried fish, although a touch underseasoned. That baja sauce, or whatever it's called, bloody awesome! I want to bathe in it, with buckets of tortilla chips floating around. Asada (B): nice meaty, smokey flavor, but a little tough. Still a pretty good taco, but nothing that excited me. Birria (B): nice and tender, but underseasoned. I know it's a little apples to oranges, but having just had the beef tongue at TJ's, this was definitely not in the same league. Tortilla with dip (A): tortilla chips were served very warm, super light & crunchy with just the right amount of salt to not overpower the toasted corn aroma, and that damn wonderful dip! What the heck is it? Shrimp ceviche (B-): this was the weak dish. The flavor was okay - tangy, savory, like many other ceviche spots. Everything tasted fresh, but the shrimp felt rather tough and overcooked. Guess it wasn't just cooked in acid but also boiled or steamed? This place was a very nice surprise, and already added to my list of places worth revisiting in San Diego. For a fast food spot, I feel this place deserves more honors than In & Out, especially given the variety of food they serve. Well done and I will come again! ---------------------------------------------------------- Grading scale: A+: You absolutely have to try this place, even if it's a big effort to get there and may or may not cost an arm & leg. Oh, and parking might suck pretty badly too so be prepared. A: Awesome spot and worth the effort, say up to a 45 minute drive with painful parking and may cost an arm only. A-: Very very good. 30 minute drive, a little pain parking. May or may not be pricey. B+: Very good, and a little bit of driving is fine. B: Acceptably good and a solid choice if in the area, but not a destination restaurant. B-: Not bad, reasonable choice if in the area and it's difficult to get to a better spot. C+: You're really hungry and want something to eat, this place won't make you foodie happy, but at least now, you're full. C: Mediocre. You ate, and you're thinking "meh". Probably not coming back, but not bad enough to make you angry. C-: Okay, that was kinda sucky. Not coming back but feeling a little pissed about the bad restaurant choice. Dummy. D: WTF?! Would have rather stayed hangry. Hope this place closes down soon. F: You're secretly planning how to get the place shut down without getting caught, and wishing your worst enemy has to eat from this place the rest of his / her life. read more
