Ordered the asada taco and although they didn't have a breakfast torta, they were so generous as to make one for me anyway! I am picky about asada and the asada here is delicious, with an almost citrusy color being visible on the carne The breakfast torta had ham, egg, beans, cheese, lettuce, pico, and guac. The restaurant is very clean and has a nice mexican charm inside, which is hard to come across nowadays 10/10 and very friendly customer service!! read more

The food is delicious! Carnitas burrito is my go to. Their breakfasts are yummy too! They have a dish that's carne asada roll tacos and includes carne asada on top of them too. You have to ask for this as it's a special item! read more

Tried the chilaquiles for $16.99 plus tax and ordered them to go. They felt a bit pricey considering the portion size and the fact that chilaquiles are mainly tortilla, cheese, sour cream, and cilantro. They also had a little too much red onion for my taste. The restaurant itself is clean with plenty of seating, and the staff were very friendly. They even offered a side of salsa with my order. The red salsa was tasty and had a good kick to it. read more

I can't believe I have never been here and I live just a few blocks down! The staff is super friendly and the food was delicious. I saw that there was a review complaining about the price. My Machaca burrito was $14 and it was literally the size of my forearm.. I am 5'7' so I don't have short arms. The "salsa especial" left me speechless. YUM! read more

It's one of the two taco shops that I go to. this one is closer .... service is solid food is good they aren't stingy with their salsa. food comes out quickly (which is good since I only have a 30 min lunch) I have been coming here for nearly 20 years (through name changes)...and will likely continue to come for 20 more read more

This place was so clean. The food was fresh. Everything was really good. The Jamaica was not too sour or sweet, just right. The Machaca burrito was good, but had too much veggies. They brought the food to us and was asked if everything was fine. Would come back again! read more

They are always consistent and good. They make a really good guacamole. I appreciate that they give really good portions and that the food is delicious. Tonight we ordered fries with guacamole and cheese on top. They made the order fresh and we were super happy. They are always nice and customer service is great here. They have Chamango drinks that look AMAZING and when it gets hot again I will try one. read more

My family loves this restaurant. We almost always call ahead to pick up, and our order is done quickly. We're ecstatic that our order is always correct, and the staff is very helpful and clear. The food is delicious, we're very partial to the carne asada! The look of the restaurant is cute and classic. There is a sitting area with a restroom indoors, and some seating outside. Parking from the street is incredibly easy. We have been happily dining here for many years and recommended many other families. read more

The food is sooooo very bland. The chicken burrito, rolled tacos, and pork adobada had zero flavor...ZERO! I thought they had bomb mexican food in Diego....I'm from L.A. where all the taco spots are BOMB! I was very disappointed and wasted $50.00! read more

This little taco shop is located right next to PRC in Paradise Hills. We were hosting a happy hour at PRC but needed some food. They allow you to bring in outside food so we ordered a bunch of items from here. We got a huge tray of chips and salsa and guacamole along with five quesadilla trays all for under $50. The chips were super fresh and warm. They did not skimp on the salsas and guacs. They were really tasty. I can't wait to come back to try some of their other food. The people here were really friendly and nice. read more

This place sure knows how to make a mean breakfast burrito! The burrito I ordered was not on the menu, but they will make it. It's the ?A la Mexicana" which is basically the tomatoes, onions, and peppers scrambled with eggs and cheese. I wanted a little heat, so I asked them to chop up a Serrano pepper and include in the burrito which they happily did. The burrito came to about $6 with tax. It burrito was very tasty, just because of the ingredients, but also because they seasoned it very well. I love that the burrito arrived piping hot and that the eggs were well scrambled. There Serrano pepper gave the burrito that kick and added flavor I wanted. The flour tortilla was one of those moist buttery ones that kept you wanted to take bite after bite. It was a great burrito and I hope they add it to the menu as a non meat option. Not that I do not eat meat, but sometimes I am good with out it. I tried all three if their salsas and they were all quite good. I was especially fond of the deep red one made from fire roasted red peppers and the green salsa. They both sported great flavor and a good mild to medium heat. The orange one or "habanero" salsa was hot. I usually veer away from overly hot because I do not want it to burden the flavor of the food. It was still a good salsa however. I like this place! Great service and great eats!. read more

The mango pineapple smoothies with almond milk is to die for; better than Jamba. Everything on the menu is delicious. I recommend the Cali burritos or some rolled tacos. It's filling and great prices. The Green salsa is the best. Staff are kind and welcoming. read more

We come here often because it's close to home. We usually order bean & cheese burritos with guacamole, or menudo, or rolled tacos, but this last time we ordered the enchiladas.. & let me just say that they so the bomb! This is the way I like my enchiladas. Not just with chicken & cheese but with a bunch of lettuce & bell pepper & onions. It just had so much flavor & texture. I really really enjoyed them. We obviously will continue to support this small business & we reccomend you do too. read more

Not sure what's going on..it has changed..We have been going sence they opened the doors. The food has changed. I hope it goes back to what it once was. Pros: *Very local and convenient *Clean * Plenty of parking *The owners are very nice Cons: * The food has changed, no flavor. Either too salty or too much fat. * I got a nachos with meat.OMG it was chips that were extremely soggy, very little meat and nacho cheese sauce...It use to be a good amount of meat real cheese and guac and Mexican cheese on top. Got home took a bite and threw it away. This will fortunately will be the last time ,past few times were no bieno. read more

Was craving nachos. Nachos w/ cheese sauce. So, I figured I should give this spot a try- new owners/ management for 5 months now. I really wanna give this experience 2.5 or 2.75 stars... Ordered the carne asada nachos ( w/o beans, since it does come with) & jalepenos on the side. I decided on the habanero salsa, instead of green or red. I ordered, to go- since I live a block away. Got home & YAY! Cheese sauce, sour cream, cotija cheese. Taking a few bites- some chips were stale & some were crunchy. That was a deal breaker. I couldn't finish my order. read more

Los Tapatios - Just in case... - Mexican Near Me - San Diego, California

One of my fave local taco shops. Not many in PH so this place is my go to for convenience. They have good portions and prices but I feel like there carne asada could use more seasoning. Compared to other places, the carne here lacks that asada/grilled/smoky taste. It taste like regular gringo steak. I usually have to soak the food in the green sauce to bring out the flavor. I go to this place because they are local and within walking distance, but sometimes I go to other shops because they have more flavor. Depends how hungry I am. I think they could do better, and have nothing to lose by switching it up!! Leaving this honest review hoping they consider making changes. I've been coming here for years and will still support them occasionally. read more

Not amazing, but not bad. Close to home. A solid 4. Good place to have in the neighborhood!

Ordered the Cali burrito and boy was it delicious! Fresh and fast! It's not hard to find a good burrito place in SD, but I will def be back here! Close to home and Enjoyed my food and service! Thank you for my first experience! read more

I came here for dinner and it was taco Tuesday so they had a special for three tacos. I got the carne asada tacos. The meat was pretty bland. There was a lot of guacamole and onions on top. I also got to sample the carne asada fries. I didn't care for the cheese whiz that was on top. I would rather have shredded cheddar cheese on it. The guacamole didn't taste fresh. The fries were pretty descent but I have tasted better. Food was just mediocre. I had a Diet Coke to drink. They sell canned drinks. I didn't see a soda fountain. The inside was cute. I liked the tables and they had two sides to the restaurant. Very spacious. Plenty of parking on the side. I just wasn't impressed with the food. I have tasted better elsewhere. I don't think I will return. read more

Was craving Mexican good and came across this local gem with my brother in law. Ordered a couple burritos & some carne asada fries. California burrito was a definite hit for me. The carne asada meat is very good as I had the chance to indulge in the carne asada fries. I'll guarantee that this will become a recurring place to go when in town and craving Mexican food! If recommend calling in for faster service otherwise once there it's made to order which is also a plus! See you soon! read more

Tosti-locos. Do it. It looks like a train wreck of slightly spicy sauce over tostitos chips, jicama, Asian peanuts, and other goodies - AH-mazing!! You are sure to be thirsty after a few bites so be sure to get the delicious jamaica (made in house). Prices are low. Quality is high. People are super nice. So glad to have this shop in my neighborhood! read more

Love ur ur food tapatios .... All ur menu is amazing still need to try all ur menu ... thank u tapatios for ur great food n services

No clue to how long this taco shop has been here, it came recommended to me off Yelp one Sunday evening when I was looking for a new Mexican place to try. Pretty much located in the central area of Paradise Hills, it's a quick drive from the 54 freeway going North. When pulling up off Reo Drive, you'll find tons of parking spots off the main road, I didn't see any private lot though. Not much different than most taco shops, this place offers some quick Mexican food at comparable prices. Nothing too unique about their menu than most places, they do however have some custom burritos on their Tapaitos menu, but that's about it. No salsa bar here, all their sauce is kept behind the counter and it seemed like they only had a green or red sauce. Most people, including me, seem to rate these places on their effort making a standard burrito. Their California burrito (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/los-tapatios-san-diego-2?select=YhDQUf1MUDVjBjKZ8illrA&userid=H1x-M7zrDWbtnSAW6ZZznQ) here comes with asada, cheese, sour cream and medium-sized french fries. In my opinion, their size doesn't warrant the hefty near $8 price tag they give them. The carne asada meat they do use here is quite flavorful and fresh tasting. They also give you plenty of it even if the overall size was on the smaller side. I like how they didn't overstuff it with fries and the fries that were there weren't mushy at all. Their tacos seemed to give more of a bang for your buck, they were definitely on the larger side for around $3.25 a pop. I was able to try their adobada, pollo and fish ones (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/los-tapatios-san-diego-2?select=6ISFwuVpbqmFTAz9zrYabg&userid=H1x-M7zrDWbtnSAW6ZZznQ). The adobada taco was pretty good, plenty of marinade on the meat and I like how they added guacamole instead of "guac sauce" like a lot of places do. The pollo asado was more like diced chicken meat than actual asado, it could have used more seasoning to it. For fish tacos you get a choice between baja style grilled or fried. My battered fish was still very crispy after arriving home and their tartar white sauce was exceptional with the cabbage pieces. Corn tortillas tasted fresh enough, even though they don't make them onsite. The wait here wasn't long as they weren't very busy at the time. The inside of this place is quite big inside for larger parties and they do a great job at keeping the place super clean. Service was decent enough, the cashier didn't seem the happiest to be there but did a good job at getting the orders correctly. They took my credit card no problems, I didn't see any extra fee added onto it, which is always good. Hot sauce? Well, it wasn't really the best in my opinion, too watery and not enough spice. Overall the place isn't too bad, but very out of my way, enough that I wouldn't specifically drive out to give it another shot. read more
