"I love this place! The food is always delicious, and the service is excellent. I don't know the name of the gentleman at the front, but he is always very friendly, welcoming, and attentive every time I visit. My favorite tacos are the fish tacos and the crispy tripa tacos. The carnitas tacos are also really good. I like mine fully loaded with onions, cilantro, salsa, and lime. My partner prefers his tacos simple, with just the meat, salsa, and lime, and he still loved the tripa and al pastor tacos. We've always had a great experience here. The food is flavorful, the ingredients taste fresh, and the friendly service keeps us coming back. Highly recommended!" read more

First and last time I'll be coming here. I live right across the street, and my family usually drives to Carlsbad Village for Vallarta's. I decided to give Los Tacos a try because the prices seemed comparable. I ordered four tacos at their promotional $2 price. Unfortunately, the tacos had whole beans and very little meat. The carne asada did not taste like carne asada to me, it had an unusual texture and flavor that reminded me more of pork. And genetically modified! The salsa also tasted off. I'm concerned all their ingredients are genetically modified engineered or highly processed with preservatives. I also ordered a bean and cheese burrito. It was about half the size of what I normally get at Vallarta's, while costing more. To top it off, I was charged an additional 30 cents for a takeout bag and 50 cents for using a debit card. Overall, the food did not taste fresh or authentic to me, the portions were disappointing, and the extra charges made the experience even worse. I definitely would not recommend Los Tacos. read more

Hiya B.U.M.S., After a relaxing afternoon spent soaking up the sun at the beach, I always look forward to grabbing a quick, satisfying bite. Honestly, if it were't up to me every single post-beach meal would involve a giant burrito. On our latest outing, we decided to drop by Los Tacos in Oceanside to split a California Burrito and a cold glass of horchata. Having read a bunch of glowing reviews prior to our visit, I went in with high expectations. While the burrito turned out to be fairly average overall, the carne asada definitely stood out--it had a distinct, juicy, flavor that kept each bite savory. I've always held the belief that a great Mexican spot is defined by the quality of its salsa bar. The hot sauces on their own were pretty mild and standard, but I found a fun workaround: I grabbed an extra cup and combined three of their different salsas together to create my own custom blend, which totally upgraded the flavor profile. Tips: Pro-Tip (The Salsa Mix): If the individual salsas feel a bit standard on their own, try mixing the roja and verde options together for a balanced kick of heat and tang. Family-Friendly Vibe: It's a very casual, welcoming spot with quick counter service, making it an easy, stress-free stop if you're grabbing a casual lunch with kids right after the beach. Help us on our quest for the ultimate post-beach meal. Where do you think we can find the absolute BEST California Burrito in North County?

Go to the Vista Way location!!! This place went seriously downhill since around end of 2025 or beginning of 2026. I had an unpublished 5 star rating that's no longer the case, sadly. Their burritos used to be amazing, I even recommended the place to others. Then I started getting freezer burnt shrimp in my favorite Surf and Turf, way too much cabbage as filler, and otherwise atrociously small burritos no matter what was ordered. Fish burrito had the same problem, very little freezer burnt fish, way too much cabbage, no flavor. Accidentally ate here again recently and there's been zero improvement. Another comment said the regular long time chef had left, and it definitely shows. Very clear cost cutting happening here. Seriously, drive the few extra minutes down the 76 for the Vista Way Los Tacos. read more

Los Tacos - Saddest Surf and Turf burrito. Super small with barely any shrimp, old beef, bad flavor all around. - Mexican Near Me - Oceanside, California

Their Dos Amores burrito is the best burrito I've ever had! Soooo flavorful. Pro tip: add French fries! I also love their elote. I get multiple salsas too to switch it up! read more

Terrible experience. I picked up a to-go order around 4:00 PM today, and when I started eating my California burrito, I bit into something sharp and felt a metal wire/string inside the burrito. I'm extremely disappointed and concerned about how this could have ended up in my food. This could have seriously injured me if I had swallowed it. I have photos of the metal piece and the burrito as proof. I expect a restaurant to take food safety seriously. Finding a piece of metal inside my food is completely unacceptable. I hope management addresses this issue so it doesn't happen to someone else. read more

I ordered the baja fish tacos and shredded beef rolled tacos to go. Not a big fan...the food was pretty bland. They had a nice salsa and pickled veggie (carrots/onions) bar, but that didn't help the overall flavor of the food. I'm giving this place a 2 for food but added another star because the customer service was great! read more

Below average Al Pastor burrito. $18 for a small burrito and small drink for below average food is not worth a return. Spend your money at Valerie's taco instead read more

Husband had the spicy surf and turf and has talked about it for the last 2 days. He wants to come back and get it again tomorrow. He said it was the best burrito he's ever had. I had the 3 taco combo meal, it was amazing. Definitely recommend read more

Stopped by here since we love Los Tacos on Vista Way location but I was disappointed that the food at this Los Tacos did not taste as good as the one on Vista Way. Tortillas were not handmade and flavoring on the meat is not as nearly as flavorful. I won't be back since the Vista Way location is only few min away, I'd choose that over this location. read more

We walk to this location at least twice a month. The food here is some of the best Mexican food I've had in all of San Diego county. Love it! read more

First time visiting Los Tacos in Oceanside and I had a great experience. I got the al pastor and carne asada tacos--both had really good flavor and were well made. The al pastor was the standout with fresh pineapple chunks that added a great sweet contrast. Carne asada was solid and flavorful as well. Tried two spicy salsas, both had nice heat and good flavor without overpowering the tacos. Overall, great food and a solid first visit--I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu. read more

Updated review: I have given this location many opportunities to match the higher standards of their other locations. They have failed: Salsa bar not kept fresh or refilled No ice in soda machines Manager not addressing issues...appears to be trying to save money! Will never come back to this location....concerned on many levels! Close this location or fix the problems! The long term cook left too! Gail K. Oceanside read more

Food and Atmosphere is phenomenal. Highly recommend Carne Asada Fries or the 3 Birria Tacos dish!! Service is amazing; glass is never empty.

Have had pretty good experiences before but yesterday went for some tacos and drove about 5 minutes away to eat and open the box and this is how my tacos came 1 box has 1 taco with 4 tortillas and the other box the meat wasn't even on the taco. And when I noticed I wasn't rung up on my agua fresca after placing a phone order the lady still had a little attitude and wasn't my fault. Not happy with their service. read more

Great service and food every time I come here always a welcoming and good vibe! Highly recommend

Pardon my millennial lingo here, but dude, this place was bomb! The Ghengis Nhan burrito was so good and the chicken was so tender. I also ordered a chicken quesadilla and was happy that the chicken was flavorful but not spicy for my sister who has to stick to a pretty bland diet. I'm visiting from out of state where I never get good Mexican, but I used to live in Oceanside and can't believe I never checked this place out until now. Definitely stopping by again before I leave! Also the customer service was lovely, the cashier was bubbly and friendly. His attitude and the quality of the food made every cent of the food and tip worth it read more

This place is amazing! Great quality food and the service is always pleasant. We love their tacos as well as the surf and turf burrito. The salsa is incredible as well. read more

SERVICE IS AMAZING AND THE FOOD IS GREAT! I like the fish tacos during the thrusdays and the fresca sauce

Great tacos, not so great service but you should go there just for the food. Beer is lukewarm which is kinda weird. Al pastor tacos are great, girlfriend loves the carnitas as well. Salsas are ok, could be better. Good place for quick tacos. read more

I was really excited to try this place! I ordered a California burrito and paid to add sour cream and guacamole, not only that but I requested extra of both. I think they may have added a minuscule drop of sour cream and NO guacamole, otherwise there was nothing but dry, chewy, old meat and potatoes and maybe a tiny pinch of cheese. Such a pet peeve of mine when my order is wrong and a really bad first impression - will also be the last. Waste of $15+ for garbage. Threw it away and ordered from a real Mexican food establishment that knows how to make a burrito. read more

Dang - this burrito SLAPS. Great vibe in this place with super friendly staff. Rita our server highly recommended the Ghengis Nahn burrito and it did not disappoint. Legit salsas - try the Chilanga. We'll definitely be back. read more

The food was delicious the mulitas were great and I love the deals for the tortilla chips purchase of 10 dollars for half order of tortilla chips. The salsa was fire and the handmade tortillas are bomb. The servers Lucy and the lady that makes the salsa and tortillas are the greatest they served with a smile. The ambiance was great the music was great. The place has been running for twenty years and still looks and tastes amazing. read more

Rita was amazing! So kind and helpful, she got us whatever we needed and made us feel right at home!

Made a phone order two weeks in advance for catering for 30 ppl, paid in advance, with a pre-arranged pick up time. When I arrived to pick up the order, they had completely forgotten to prepare it. The manager promised to have it ready in one hour, delivered. The order was delivered with profuse apologies. Needless to say the order was incomplete, the food was mediocre at best, and insufficient to feed 30 people. I was extremely disappointed and embarrassed to serve my guests. I asked for a partial refund, which they ignored. I will never patronize this establishment again. read more

Came here for lunch hoping for Taco Tuesday but then realized it's only from 5pm to closing. Got a Birria (tender) and Al Pastor Taco, friend got grilled fish. Flavors were good but the size of the tacos were really small...mini street taco size. 2 bites and you're done Service was super friendly and staff was on point. This location was clean. But left still hungry read more

Los Tacos - Taco Tuesday...but only from 5pm to closing!!! Not all day... - Mexican Near Me - Oceanside, California

Tacos Tuesday, anyone. Los Tacos is a great spot in Oceanside with very flavourful Tacos. I have tried the garlic shrimp, Pollo, and El Pastor and they don't disappoint. It's well located off of College and near shopping spots on Marron drive. So if you're out doing errands and need a quick bite, I recommend. The place is small, but clean, good customer service, the staff wears masks (if it is a concern), and reasonably priced. The only knock for me is the lack of proper serving plates, but I'll give it a pass for such tasty treats. Next on the list will be the fried potato Tacos. See you next Taco Tuesday. read more

Wow, serious try this place out. Came here for a casual lunch meeting by recommendation. Now, a returning customer. Seriously good tacos. There's a lot of options out here and everyone has their favorite Mexican spot but this one seriously pushes my og #1 spot to second place... it's that good! read more

Food was to go,the store was very clean too! I ordered the Local burrito pastor. There was very little meat or pastor in the burrito. Basically, I was biting into a vegetarian pastor. I will not be back, Adios! read more

I always come here because first of all everything on the menu is bomb! I have a few favorites that I highly recommend. One is the magnificeno tacos. They make a chipotle sauce that's really good. He's a grilled chicken tacos with fresh avocado and chipotle sauce. I also love they carry my favorite guava jarritos ! Yum!! The Bria tacos are amazing. The rice is good the beans are good. But one of the best things about this place is a salsa bar. My favorite salsa is here and I begged him to tell me how they make it and they just won't. . They have at least six different kinds, three different thread, three different green. They're all bomb. Also, outstanding customer service they're really friendly it's a cute place. They have a lot of specials through the week. I never make it for the specials, and it costs a lot to be here but I love it worth of splurge . If you're interested in something great and not just good.. Oh yeah, I always have leftovers, so whatever Mail I guess there's always enough to have at least one more taste of it the next day . read more
