Wife told me she wanted to try a New Mexican food spot tonight, stumbled across this one on Yelp. Lived nearby and decided to give it a shot. Safe to say, the socks have been properly knocked off. I got "The Local" which is a California burrito but with Al Pastor instead of Carne Asada. It made me wonder why more people don't do this, because it was incredible. Rita took our order and she was so friendly, and made it feel like we were regulars. The inside looked clean, with some TV's, and seemed like a nice spot to chill and enjoy some good food. They have certainly made a recurring customer out of us! read more

Tried carne asada, pastor, cabeza, and carnitas tacos. All meats were extremely flavorful and they did not skimp out on loading up the tacos. Pro tip is to load up on the salsas and pickled veggies they have. All of the salsas are absolutely amazing. I tried every single one and could not even pick a favorite because they were so good. The pickled veggies are amazing too especially the carrots. Tacos came out pretty quick which was nice and the restaurant was generally clean! read more

This is my first time trying out Los Tacos. I picked up a Porko Verde burrito to go. It was amazing. Great flavor and big. Two meals for me. The meat was perfectly cooked and the tortilla was fresh and soft, yet held together perfectly. I look forward to trying out other items in the future. I would definitely recommend this place. I very satisfied and full customer. read more

These guys really let me down. First time ordering from them and when I opened the box after I left? I mean, look at the picture attached...... it's sloppy as hell, I ordered 3 chicken tacos and they gave me fish (what if I was allergic?), they charged me $15 for tennis ball sized tortillas with the ingredients just thrown all over the top of them sloppily. Then when I brought it back inside and addressed the issue.... the cashier, line cook, and manager all just stood there and said nothing. Pathetic and shameful to say the least. Would not recommend to anyone who wants a decent sized portion of food for their moneys worth. read more

Really only two salsa containers per burrito??What kind of cheap taco shop is this where you're worried about giving away more than two salsa per person. If you guys are worried about that then you're in the wrong business. Also, you get charged more than the menu price when you get there and people are sweeping cleaning and don't wash their hands before they touch your food. Yuck. Way too many good burrito shops in this town to choose los tacos. This place is a rodeo clown show. read more

We were happy to find Los Tacos for a nice relaxing low-key casual dinner. Order at the counter and they bring your food to your table. Service was friendly and fast. Had high hopes for the guacamole, but found it underwhelming. Good selection of tacos to choose from. Loved the homemade tortillas, and the California Burrito was a highlight of ours. All in all, really enjoyed our visit! read more

I'm a fan! I wanted some quick tacos before our Airbnb check-in and I looked on Yelp and found this little gem. The reviews are spot on, this place is very good! I'm from Oxnard and we think we have some of the best Mexican food but the San Diego area has some pretty good Mexican food being that it's so close to Mexico. The place is small but nice and clean. They have a glass section where you can see them preparing the food as you wait. The guy at the register was very cool letting me know that if I purchased three tacos I could get rice and Ben's for free. I decided to go with three Al pastor tacos and I must say, these may have been the best Al pastor tacos I've ever had. They shaved the meat off the vertical broiler, so the meat was super tender and they added not chunks of pineapple but a nice size slice. The tamarind fresca was fresh and delicious as well. The food was prepared quick, had an authentic taste and you can always tell what type of place you are eating at by the type of people who come into the restaurant. They looked like locals that were getting to go orders and dining in. Overall, I WILL be back when in the area and I think it is a food chain so I'll give it a shot elsewhere too. OOOOO 5 out of 5 Afros read more

We went here for a quick bite and it did not disappoint. We got the California burrito, asada and pastor tacos and an asada Gordita. All were delicious. We loved how they put pico in their burrito and meat was not dry. The tacos were delicious and everything was steaming hot. The sauces were ok but it's ok since the food was delicious enough without sauces. It's a small little restaurant but they had a couple seatings outside which was nice. Staff were friendly as well! read more

I ordered the Al Pastor Burrito with everything. The Pastor was so delicious and fresh tasting. There was meat in every bite all the way down to the last bite. This might be the BEST PASTOR I've ever had. It was perfectly cooked with a pineapple on top while roasting. They freshly slice the Pastor to add it to my burrito. I watched them cut the meat after I placed the order. It was a Thursday evening and they said there was a special price on their Fish Tacos, so I ordered 4 of those beautifully made fried fish tacos. Everything was very delicious and priced affordably. I love their salsa bar, I should have taken a picture of it, but there were descriptions of each salsa so there wasn't any guessing on what I was getting. All the salsas were very good, one with a Smokey taste had some heat and went well with everything. I think my favorite salsa was the guacamole salsa. Mmmmm I can't wait to go back again!! The service was amazing, they were all very friendly and made sure we were taken care of. We were asked if we enjoyed the food which tells me they care about the quality they produce. I'll be back! read more

You gotta love a family-owned shop that pours their heart and soul into creating an excellent experience. There's absolutely no higher quality Mexican food in North County. This place is supremely clean! The salsa bar is unmatched. There's absolutely no place that offers the diversity of flavors and freshness of the salsa bar. I absolutely adore the fajita bowl. I double up on the meat. I dialed down the rice. It's all protein all the time. The flavor profiles are top-notch. My kids absolutely love the shop, and they have a great selection of beer, to include Burgeon Brewing Company. I am so grateful for this establishment in our community. It's the kind of shop that makes your properties mildly more valuable. read more

Me and my boyfriend were looking for something to eat and decided to check this place out. I got two tacos de asada, one al pastor, and one tripa and it did not disappoint.

The best taco here was for sure the Al pastor I would come back for that taco. The service here was also amazing and the workers were very nice. The only thing was the carnitas and the pollo tasted very bland. They were cooked perfectly but had no flavor whatsoever. The salsas were very good I will say however. read more

My second time here and was just as good as the first time. Went for Taco Tuesday which is $2.00 per taco. They have options such as carne asada, pollo, el pastor and carnitas. The proteins are so flavorful! They have an amazing variety of salsas too (about 6 or so!) and the crunch spicy carrots are perfect. The restaurant is small inside about 3 full size booths, a couple tables and a few outdoor seating. The service was fast and the staff is friendly! Ample parking in the parking lot too. I ordered alot and couldn't finish it. Will be back again. read more

As soon as I walked in to this spot, I knew it was going to be great. The workers were grilling meats and making tortillas when I arrived. The workers greeted me in Spanish and I felt at home. I ordered three carnitas and three carne asada tacos for their Taco Tuesday Specials. I also got an horchata to complement the meal. The tacos were packed with flavor! The carne asada was delicious and the carnitas were so tender and juicy. They have a full salsa bar and all the salsa were fantastic. They also had pickled carrots and grilled jalapeños. I love how many salsas they have and the flavor on the tacos was the best I have had in a long time! The workers are friendly and create a welcoming environment. I am definitely coming back to try more of the tacos! read more

"I had the chicken tacos, and they were average at best--three stars. The chicken was overly seasoned and too salty. The guacamole was watery, and the lettuce felt a bit wilted, so it wasn't the best taco I've ever had, though not the worst either. I might try coming back another day, as it could've been an off time. My son raved about this place from a previous visit, and there are other menu items we didn't try that might be better. See ya next time! read more

I ordered four of the Los famosos tacos. Not the best famous tacos in the world, but will definitely satisfy your hunger. You won't regret coming here for a Mexican food fix. I tried four tacos and these are my rankings 1. Carnitas was crispy and not too dry. 2.Steak which had beans 3. Pastor had flavor, but not out of this world 4.Chicken alright with a lil flavor Nothing was bad which is all you ever really want. I have eaten here previously and the burritos are really good. read more

Another great local eatery! Food is amazing, fresh and exploding with great flavor. Tried the Birria tacos and carne asada tacos tonight. One of the best Birria in town tender meat home made corn tortillas and consume you want to drink! Carne asada tender and flavorful. They also serve huge burritos with unique combinations in freshly made flour tortillas. It's a walk up and order with indoor seating and a great salsa bar. Colorfully decorated and very casual. Food is made to order and arrives quickly to your table nice and hot. read more

Nothing rings truer to my heart than some beautiful, flavorful, tacos y burritos. I love Mexican food, truly a delicacy, the Al pastor doesn't get more authentic than this other than being in Mexico. They cook the Al pastor the traditional way pineapples and all. My brother and I came here on a Thursday and we're lucky enough it's $2 fish tacos fried or grilled. Ordered 3 tacos combo plate, and 3 fish tacos 2 fried 1 grilled. I'm sure by my photos you can tell I was a happy camper! Al pastor tacos were chunky and full of flavor, also in there were pineapple chunks. The fish tacos were very good too and for $2 they taste even better, I did like the fried better over the grilled, fish wasn't dry cooked just right. The salsas here are fuego!!! I loved all the spicy ones and the Smokey one yum! My brother thoroughly enjoyed his Al pastor burrito. He said "dude this might be the best Al pastor burrito I've ever had". We have had a lot of Al pastor experiences plus he's a huge burrito fanatic, (I'm more of a taco kinda guy) so needless to say take our word for some of the best Al pastor around. And we're in socal folks so that says a lot!!! Go try this local gem here in Oceanside! The restaurant is small seating areas and large salsa selections. Good music playing giving you the perfect taco cadence and vibe! The guys and girls here are so nice, mucho lindo. They are so fast from when I ordered and grabbed my salsa to sit down food was in my face in 2 mins no joke. Wait staff super nice, I can't wait to come back for the tripas y cabeza tacos.. Mucho gracias Los tacos of Oceanside!! Thanks for the tacos! read more

The food was excellent! The service above and beyond. Birria tacos with consommé were super beefy! Grilled fish taco was tender juicy and sweet, perfect bite with the fresh tortilla and slaw! Al pastor was super flavorful and juicy! Quesadillas were well done! Burritos giant! On top of great food the sweet lady taking our order was so genuinely sweet. She told me I didn't have to feel rushed when ordering as that causes stress and we all carry too much stress. And it was not necessary to be stressed here! I love her! Please cherish her as an employee! Places are extra special when there are special people working there. Her kindness made me rush to write this review as it's well deserved!! read more

Whooo-weee this place is legit. I've always made it my mission to have a California burrito before I leave SD and Los Tacos did not disappoint. Swung by Sunday lunch and Los Tacos was already packed - and rightfully so!!! Inside/outside - 4/5 Lots of seats inside, both booth and high top. Couple umbrella-shaded tables outside. Chairs were comfy enough. Sauce and soda stations in the back near the bathroom. My only gripe, which this is hard to fix at this point, is the order line wrapped towards the entrance which makes it tough for people to move about. Nonetheless staff and customers were respectful and polite. Customer Service - 5/5 Staff here were just in a good mood and on top of everything. From cleaning the shop, restocking the sauce station, and helping customers - the staff were very attentive, helpful and made conversation with everyone. Food - 5/5 Wow was I blown away by the food. I initially got sticker shock, but the amount of food you get in each order was great. We ordered, The Local Burrito, Fish Taco and Veggie Burrito. Tortillas were crisp and fresh. Meat (or veggies) were moist and tender. And the sauce/salsas just popped. The burritos were so huge, we saved half for lunch the next day. TL;DR Overall 5/5 - Could be very busy but the food is worth the wait - Phenomenal customer service with friendly and attentive staff - Given the array of food we ordered, we are very confident that all the food is fantastic. Can't wait to try their other dishes! read more

My boyfriend and I came here after the beach. We were shocked how amazing these tacos were. The cabeza y tripas tacos are cooked to perfection!! The service is great and atmosphere is cute and small.

So yummy !! Loved all the we tried!!!! Taco Tuesday had great options and great prices!!

My first time to the location on Marron Road in Oceanside since I get my nails done nearby, shop nearby, I go to the pharmacy nearby & I get smoothies next-door regularly. I ordered a basic shredded beef taco asking for the tortilla to not be fried for too long because I have a sensitive teeth issue. I got in my car with the taco drove off to my next stop for more errands. I open the bag. I had a soft tortilla that was not fried at all. I had Birria inside with melted cheese, not shredded beef no lettuce no tomato. Taco was pricey & it was a Tuesday.. That's not the taco for me, but it might be someone else's pleasure? Customer service good, ambience looks nice. read more

This had its time but now really lost it's touch. Taste and quality is decreasing but prices are increasing in my opinion you can find better tacos for less the price elsewhere. Dont det me wrong there food isn't horrible. I just think its reached its peak and wont improve read more

We absolutely LOVE coming here for Taco Tuesday and really just any other day too lol. Some of the best Al Pastor tacos for a great price in north county. Bring cash as they have free chips if you pay in cash (I think over $10). The quesadillas are HUGE so if you order those know you can probably split with someone else (or not!). Seating is small for Taco Tuesdays as it's really busy but they move fast and we've never had a problem getting a spot. read more

Great location and food. Ownership is on site to ensure quality of food and service. Highly recommend!

I went here for chips with carne and it was five star experience. Now it's rare for taco shops to slather every inch of your chips with toppings and this place does!!!! Love the salsa bar too! I went back for Tuesday taco night and when they say it starts at 5 they mean it. I arrived early and was told i would need to wait and by the time 5 rolled around there was a line out the door! My tacos were a four star experience because there was gristle in the meat and it came with no toppings or guacamole. I always compare to primos meat and this was slightly below yet still bomb and filling so good experience! read more

Absolutely phenomenal. Totally hit the spot. My FIL is always looking for a good burrito at a taco place and not only did he say it's his new go to burrito, but he and I had ended up ordering the same one! The portions are monstrous but the decadence is worth it. It's just good food done right. And lots of salsas and sauces to try too so you can dial it in just the way you like. 10 stars! read more
