    El pastor mini tacos

    An absolute standout experience! The tacos are incredibly fresh and come with generous portions of meat. I couldn't even snap a photo of the bean and cheese burrito before it was devoured I've been told it's the best in San Diego, and based on how fast it vanished, I believe it.

    Fish taco

    No complaints! Fish tacos was so tasty. Huge piece of fish, pico isn't toooo tomato heavy which is nice. The chipotle sauce isn't super chipotle forward either so good for everyone even if you don't like chipotle like me. Lemon adds a nice acidity. Chimichanga is massive.. this could feed two people easily. The guac and sour cream is a good addition too. $19 for both, a little expensive for the taco but when you see how big it is, it feels reasonable for San Diego prices

    All potato, some sausage, basically no egg or cheese! It was like this all the way through.

    I am so sad to leave this review. We've always loved this place for breakfast burritos and it was our go-to when we catered our daughter's daycare staff for breakfast. I'm pregnant and today all I wanted was the breakfast burrito! I got a sausage breakfast burrito (no beans) and it was literally 90% potato! Just crumbs of egg and barely any cheese. It was so dry. Not my typical experience there at all! When I showed the staff (I honestly thought they forgot the egg?) they said there are always 2 eggs in there even though we were all looking at a pile of potatoes.. they offered eggs on the side, but no refund or remake. I was splitting this with my toddler and wasn't able to take eggs on the side to go. Sadly probably won't ever get a breakfast burrito there again if this is their new "recipe." If this was my first and only experience, it'd be 1 star. It was inedible. I'm giving a 3 to be fair because it's usually a solid 4-5 star place with super friendly staff. The pic is from when I got home and cut it open, hoping the eggs were just hiding somewhere at the bottom :(

    This taco shop is right on the corner of University Ave in La Mesa, and is a convenient drive thru option. Pros: Friendly service that's appreciative of customers, ADA accessible seating, outdoor patio, few parking spots but mostly street parking, decent food. Staff is friendly and everything is made to order

    Carne asada fries

    Nachos never misses! Kind workers and the portions are always huge. Didn't get to take a pic of the rest of the food only the carne asada fries

    Surf and turf burrito and rolled tacos

    My favorite taco shop in the entire world! Family run never disappoints! Super quick service and the people there are so nice, it's also amazing to sit there and eat in the AC on a nice hot day! I love getting their carne asada burrito and their carne asada nachos normally but everything I've tried from their menu has been absolutely delicious! 10/10 always has me coming back!!!

    CA Burrito

    Always friendly service, good food and a clean restaurant. Our current favorite for CA burritos which have gone up to over $14.

    Still great food as it's always been but like everything else - prices have skyrocketed. As long as the quality doesn't go down I'll still continue to come here. Fast service and inside is always kept clean.

    California Burrito
    Alex M.

    I hit the drive-thru at Nachos Taco Shop and grabbed a California burrito--easily one of the best I've had. The burrito was massive and had the perfect balance of everything: plenty of meat, guacamole, and fries (not like other spots that just load it with fries and skimp on the good stuff). The salsas are absolutely bomb, and the worker at the drive-thru was super friendly and welcoming. Great food, great service--I'll definitely be back!

    Bean and cheese burrito
    Katie G.

    I drove by this taco shop a bunch of times and finally had time to stop by and eat here . I had a bean and cheese burrito and boy was it delicious! I highly recommend their bean and cheese burrito. It is very fresh and a good size. The customer service was top notch and the taco shop is clean and adorable.

    Carnitas, Bean and Cheese Burrito

    Monster Burrito, full days meal. I went in hungry, and shamelessly polished off the Carnitas, Bean and Cheese that they rolled me. Barely made it, but with the excellent Salsa it all went down

    I've lived in San Diego for over 15 years and this is by far the best taco shop I've found! Tacos are delicious and burritos are huge!

    This is probably the In-N-Out location I visit the most, and overall it gets the job done when I'm…read morecraving. The food is usually fresh and the service is good. That said, consistency can be a little hit or miss. Sometimes the burger comes out uneven - tomatoes all stacked on one side, patty sliding off to the other, and I'm basically rebuilding it myself at the table. Still tastes good, but presentation definitely depends on who's on burger duty that day. Still my go-to because it's convenient, quick, and reliable.

    IN N OUT BURGER @ LEMON GROVE…read more Parking is available right out front, but it's definitely limited. The lot is pretty small, and it seems like most customers prefer going through the drive-thru, which keeps things moving but also makes parking a bit competitive during busy hours. My friends and I stopped by on a Thursday evening, and it was packed. The line was out the door, but it moved fairly quickly. Even with the crowd, the energy felt lively and fun. We ordered a bunch of cheeseburgers, and every single one came out perfectly cooked, juicy, flavorful, and fresh. You can really tell they keep their quality consistent, even when it's busy. Overall, I'd definitely recommend stopping by this location. The staff was friendly and efficient despite the rush, and the burgers were spot-on as always. If you're craving a classic cheeseburger, this spot does not disappoint
