Their prices are better than many other taco spots and the flavors are on point! My all time fave is the cabeza (which yes, they do sell by the pound, and it's so worth it!), but the carne asada, carnitas and al pastor are also delicious. The kids loved the carne asada fries and rolled tacos! The staff is friendly and quick, and they have plenty of tables to eat inside. They have Taco Tuesday deal for Al pastor tacos (pork and chicken) for $1.59 and a sopes deal on Wednesdays for $3, so if you want to try it out those are good days to come in! Depending on the time of day, it can get busy! Also, super random but they have an horchata with matcha that I had to try.. it was pretty good!

I'm giving this place 3 stars for now because my first experience was genuinely great, but my…read moresecond visit was disappointing enough that I almost rated it 2 stars. The first time I visited a few weeks ago, I had a really positive experience. The location was a little hard for me to find, but once I got there, it seemed worth it. I walked in craving a breakfast burrito and was helped by a very nice, slender gentleman at the counter. I asked for a ham, bacon, and sausage breakfast burrito and also requested that it be cut in half. He was friendly, said no problem, and within minutes I had exactly what I ordered. That burrito was delicious. The salsa station was stocked and convenient with self-serve cups readily available, and the atmosphere was nice. The people around me were friendly, and one gentleman even mentioned this was the place that used to be near Peterson's Donuts. Overall, it was a great first impression and I left happy, already planning to come back. Fast forward to today, Saturday, April 25, 2026 around 10:30 AM, and unfortunately, my second experience was the complete opposite. This time there was a young woman working the register, and from the moment I approached, she didn't seem very welcoming. I told her I wanted to order a breakfast burrito but wasn't sure what kind I wanted today. She told me the only options were bacon, egg, cheese and tater tots, or egg and cheese. I politely asked if I could add ham and sausage and pay extra, since that's what I had ordered before. She immediately responded that they "didn't have that type of breakfast burrito." That response confused me because I had literally ordered one there before. I wasn't going to argue, especially because her tone and attitude made me feel like I was bothering her just by asking questions. I then asked if the burrito could be cut in half and never really got a clear response. I also noticed the salsa station no longer had the little self-serve cups available, so I had to ask for those too. The same cashier asked how many I needed, and I said two. A few minutes later, another woman called my name and handed me the burrito. I sat down and realized it wasn't cut in half like I requested. At that point, I had to go back up and ask for a plastic knife and fork just to cut it myself. Which was not a problem or issue for me. I ate half of the burrito, but honestly, it wasn't nearly as good as the first one. The taste was underwhelming, and by the time I left I was just so disappointed. I ended up throwing the other half away after I left. Consistency matters, especially when the first experience set the bar high. The food was great the first time, but the service and quality were lacking the second time around. My honest opinion: if someone is having a bad day, they probably shouldn't be the first face customers interact with at the register. I may update this review depending on how management responds, because I know this place can do better based on my first visit.

Great local spot, that I want the world and yet no one to know about, all at once…read more I had a craving for fish tacos. Sir we ventured here. I have the El Pascado, TallGirl had the Adaboado and the Coco Loco. For good measure we also got chips and guacamole. They have stubborn cola, which is always a hit for me. The chips were fresh and crisp and perfect amount of salt. The guacamole had a lovely lime hit. It was very good (from a non guacamole lover) and I especially like it with the chipotle salsa. My tacos were so yummy! I love how each taco had some fresh fruit on it. Each bite made my mouth happy!! The service was friendly, quick and personal. I felt like we were in a place where everyone knows your name. There is outdoor seating in the front and rear patio. And about 11 tables inside. This is on the list to come back to again and again!!

When ordering my food customer service was great. I sat own and received chips and salsa. These were great as well, the chips were amazing! Today I ordered the Vegan Avocado, Vegan Al Pastor and the Vegan Zucchini tacos. I was really looking forward to the chips and salsa but I didn't receive anything :/. Since I was the only one that just ordered in the restaurant I just figured maybe they don't offer them anymore. My food came out quickly but it was nice last time to have the chips to scope up my fallen fillings. Another customer came in and ordered and within minutes they received chips and salsa. Not sure why I didn't receive anything. I was disappointed I didn't receive any because I really enjoyed them my last time here. Atmosphere is great and a nice quiet place to enjoy your food.

Definitely recommend.

It'd been a couple years since the sad limp rolled taco encounter. So given how often these places…read moreturn over ownership or management, I figured it time to give That Mexican Place anonymously go. I ordered a #1 combo (shredded beef taco, cheese, enchilada, beans/rice) for myself, and two shredded beef tacos à la carte for Mom, to eat at home a half mile away. Upon opening, the combo looked good, although the tiny smattering of pico on the taco and particularly the super skimpy portions of both beans and rice immediately stood out - a real bummer as I REALLY love Mexican beans and rice. So presentation was quite disappointing. Then, the second I picked up the taco, it was apparent it didn't survive the trip, having completely disintegrated on the bottom. This appeared to be from using a thinner than usual tortilla to make the taco, which was then set directly in a puddle of unusually watery enchilada sauce. So that was strike 2. As for the cheese enchilada, there was so little cheese had I not known what I was eating I wouldn't have been able to tell you. In addition, it was swimming in the same watery enchilada sauce that caused the demise of the taco. As for the à la carte beef tacos, mom reported they were good. So at least she was happy (Whew! Thank goodness!). The good news is, the food all tasted good, with the issues all relating to quantity and plating, not quality or taste. So despite the low rating, I'll be back at least once more to give them another go, if only because it's so conveniently close to home. Fingers crossed...

Everything else I've tried here has been A+ 10/10. Wonderful seafood spot. Highly recommend. The only bummer is that if you sit on the patio you have to listen to the annoying music that the Walgreens across the street blasts 24/7. Last time I was there, I had to hear the same short clip of Korsakov's "Flight of the Bumblebee" looped about fifty times. Next time I visit here I'll probably ask to sit indoors for that reason alone.

Hiya All, We pass…read morethrough this area a lot, and after driving past Four Tunas countless times, we finally decided it was time to give it a second try! We had eaten here once before, but didn't really get to sit back and fully enjoy the experience--so we brought the family along to give it a proper run. Safe to say, we are so glad we came back. We came with an appetite and tried a little bit of everything across the menu: Garlic Shrimp Tacos (2) & Grilled Fish Tacos (2): Generous portion size with a fantastic meat-to-veggie ratio. Balanced, fresh, and super satisfying. Chips & Salsa: Crunchy chips paired with a flavorful salsa. I personally loved the kick of spice, though more than half our table found it a bit too hot for their palate! Red Snapper: Ordered deep-fried with garlic butter sauce on the side. The fish was cooked to absolute crisp deliciousness. My aunt loved it so much she practically ate the entire head and left nothing behind. Surf & Turf Burrito: Hearty, packed with flavor, and hit every single mark. Deep-Fried Ice Cream: The perfect sweet ending to complete the meal. The atmosphere is warm, vibrant, and incredibly inviting. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating provides a live band and it added such a fun, lively local backdrop for a dinner out with family. Tips: Spice Gauge: If you or your kids are sensitive to heat, ask about the spice level on the salsa beforehand or request a milder option for the table. Seating Choice: Grab a table in the outdoor patio area if live music is playing--it creates a great local Escondido dining experience! Complimentary Soup Check: On our first visit, we were treated to a small complimentary soup tasting sample. They didn't bring it out this time around (which made us a little sad because it was so good!), so if you're hoping to try it, it doesn't hurt to kindly ask your server if sample tastings are available that day.

You order at the Bar counter for your Brew & for the tacos. The food is made at their permanent fixture food truck outside. The tacos are amazing and generously portioned. The Birria was my favorite!

We ordered and paid for our food, then went to the restroom to wash our hands. To get there, you have to walk through the kitchen all the way to the back, and that's when everything changed for us. Back there, we saw large bins of food, what looked like beans sitting out, open containers of chips, and food exposed with doors open. It didn't look clean or properly handled at all. The bathroom itself also wasn't in great condition. On top of that, there were shared sauces on the tables in open containers with spoons sitting inside, which didn't feel sanitary. After seeing all of that, when we got our food, we honestly didn't even want to eat it. We ordered birria tacos, carne asada, and carnitas. My husband didn't finish his food, and I didn't let my daughter eat any of it. Unfortunately, after eating there, I ended up getting very sick and was dealing with what felt like food poisoning for about a week, which affected the rest of our trip. The only thing that tasted okay was the lime water. I don't understand how this place has such high ratings. Based on what we saw and experienced, I would not recommend it, and I think it should be looked into for basic health and safety standards. We would not return.

Unfortunately, the fries were undercooked, and instead of the campechana fries we ordered, we were given carnitas. I tried calling to let them know about the issues with our order, but the phone kept going straight to voicemail. After I called, they texted me asking what was wrong with the order. I explained everything and even attached photos. After that, they simply stopped responding. For an order that cost over $60, I expected much better food and customer service. Mistakes happen, but completely ignoring a customer after they reach out about an incorrect and poorly prepared order is unacceptable. Very disappointing experience, and safe to say we will not be back.
