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

This place is great. Diana is very nice and helpful. I recommend the Baja shrimp tacos. Cool that you can see the staff cook everything. I will be back tomorrow for more :) 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

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

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

I come here once a week for the San Diego burrito. The food tastes clean and amazing. Service is always great and the cooks and waitresses are super chill. Highly recommended. 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

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

Update: They brought back the salsa bar!!! Awesome!! Look.....The tacos are 5 stars. They're still legit and for real. However, I tried to branch out and try different menu items. Didn't go well. I'm not sure what it is. The flour tortillas? The quality of the cheese? You would think if the tacos are fire, everything else would be also. It wasn't. It was flat. It was mid. The burritos fell flat. The two best salsas are Habanero and Serrano. Arbol isn't good. Verde is mid, fresca is mid. I spend the extra money for the pico de gallo. It's ok. They chose the name Los Tacos for a reason. I think if they up the tortilla and cheese quality it would make a difference. Maybe procure from a local vendor. This tastes like it's from U.S. Foods frozen section. read more

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

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

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

Best surf and turf burrito in town, I've lived here my whole life and nothing quite hits like a los tacos spicy surf and turf.

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 - California Burrito with guacamole - Tacos Near Me - Encinitas, California

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

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

We are big fans of Mexican food. This place is amazing for getting tacos and burritos.

Taco Tuesday this is THE place to be. Birria tacos are good, but the al pastor is my favorite. Busy as you can imagine when tacos are $2.

I have only lived here for 7 months in San Diego but I will say since moving here Mexican food is my fav. Los Tacos has the best garlic shrimp tacos. Being a fish eater and non meat eater this is my go to place. They are located in a small strip mall and it's just a small little taqueria. I always get to go food but you can eat in as well read more

I tried the spicy surf n turf burrito, and its the best burrito I've ever had as far as I could remember.

We always dine in at los tacos, and the flavors are amazing every time. This last time we had the Mazatlán ceviche and was so good you have to try it at least once in your life the special black sauce it's so flavorful. The service is fast, I have been in places were I had to wait up to an hour to finally eat. Not here, busy but fast. Great atmosphere and a good vive. The staff is really friendly.

Second stop on the San Diego California Burrito Tour................. Walked in, ordered a California Burrito to go. Total was just over $11.00. I saw the man start to prepare everything fresh. Open kitchen where you can watch him cook. He threw the fries in the frier, put the steak on the grill and pretty soon he was constructing my burrito. This thing was heavy! Very large burrito! Good, tender, well marinated steak, crispy fries, good pico and some cheese. Really tasty burrito. Why not 5 stars? Definitely could have used either some sour cream or guacamole. Add one or both of those in here, and its elevated to an almost perfect burrito. Still, overall, 8/10. Friendly staff and cook, would definitely come back again if I lived up here near Encinitas and could see this as being my regular taco shop in the area. Really good! read more

Hi and welcome to the best taco spot around! There street tacos are the perfect blend of protein, onions and cilantro. Thinking of one of their specialty tacos? Also, a great plan! I'm wild about every single shrimp taco in their menu! Considering carnitas? Carne asada? Pollo? Do it. You won't regret it. The guac is something to write home about. But, y'all, the ceviche -- chef's kiss. It's bright, crisp and perfection in a plastic take home container. (Ordered it on a whim after a few visits of eyeing it in the specials menu.) I was *shocked* by how impressively delicious it is! But, why should I be? Los tacos has never let me down. The service is always wonderful and as someone who values service workers, I super appreciate the ease of their square system to add gratuity. The vibe here is always warm and friendly, but I always take it home or snag a stool at The Brewers Tap Room right next door. If you needed more convincing, Los Tacos website is good tacos dot com. Yeah, the tacos are good (more than good, really). Go to Los Tacos, now. Thank me later. read more

Delicious Tacos!!!!! This hidden little taco shop is very very good. Its on the corner of a small shopping center thing in Encinitas just east of El Camino Real so very inland Encinitas. The parking is good, the place is small, but that has been irrelevant lately. lol Customer service was great the tacos are priced very well and were all so good! We ordered about 5 different tacos and all tasted good in their own way. The meat was so well seasoned, the sauces were excellent compliments to the meat and the ingredients were very fresh. The tacos were a little small but for the teste and price, they were perfect. I highly recommend this taco shop if you are in the area. read more

Super weak. Ordered the San Diego burrito and paid extra for sour cream that wasn't added. Besides being over charged, the burrito is whack. Flavorless, overly spicy and bland. Worse than chipotle. The salsas suck too. The Chili De Arbol is just hot/spicy but has no flavor, the verde is ok at best. Paying 20$ for a burrito that has no flavor ain't the biz. Wouldn't recommend this spot. read more
