Breakfast burrito with potato, bacon, egg, cheese. Burrito is well seasoned, soft potatoes char to them but they worked in burrito. Bacon was bacon ingredients. I feel the burrito needed less potato and little more egg. Served hot and fresh, quick service. Red and green salsas were good, complimented burrito well. read more

We just happened to be in the area and were hungry so we randomly tried this place. It was mid afternoon on a Monday so not many other people there. We were pleasantly surprised with how good the fish tacos were, and they were big. The rice and beans were also very good. There was only one cook working but he was cordial and gave us good service. I will go there again the next time I'm in La Mesa. read more

I just got a taco and it wasn't bad but I won't be buying another. the beef is really soft and there's bell pepper in it, I'm not into that. But they have a lot on their menu so I will be back to try different things until I find something that I like. The customer service was great. read more

Delicious! Stopped here because it had some great reviews on Yelp. My daughter and I each ordered the carne asada burritos. They normally come with pico de gallo and guacamole. We ordered one that way and another one with guacamole and cheese, no pico. The man who took our order was very customer service oriented and he was helpful when we asked questions. We waited about 6 minutes and our order was ready. I opted for green salsa and we took our food home. We ran into traffic, so it was longer than 15min drive. The great news was that the burritos were still hot and delicious when we ate them...in the car! We are definitely coming back to this place. This is definitely a new Mexican food spot on our list. And, they have BIRRIA here! read more

Nancy's Taco Shop 2 - Sitting area has pretty colors and is very clean - Mexican Near Me - La Mesa, California

The service is prompt and very friendly then they keep the place clean and uncluttered. But the shredded BEEF TACOS are the best in the county!!!! I don't mean that lightly. I have lived here for 2 years and have been to every where from Old Town to no town from the most expensive place to the little taco stand even bought some out of Seniors trunk. WHEN I want a taco I mean I have to get the shredded Beef Taco from here Yaw!!!! I'm from Sweet Home Alabama so I don't care about the way a place looks but how it acts and This place Acts like a CHAMPIONSHIP Taco Shop!!!! We know a little bit about National Championships in ALABAMA!!!! ROLL TIDE Yaw!!!! read more

Was not a fan of their food. Order was wrong for autistic son had to go get him food elsewhere. Hot sauce was good. Not a lot of veggies in the Caldo de res. read more

It might be a small no frills hole in the wall. BUT Let me tell you something..... this (plain) CARNITAS PLATE right here !!!! I don't know who's Abuela is in the back roasting this pork. Normally I NEVER eat carnitas because it's dry and tasteless. But this right here is perfectly moist AND crispy with a delicious bouquet of seasoning. You get a great portion of pork, guacamole, red rice , and beans. Look it's just delicious and satisfying. I really can't say more ! Try it for yourself. It was so good I forgot to take photo. I will update !! I would have given 5 stars buuuuut a little sprucing up of the place's ambiance wouldn't hurt. read more

Best spinach bacon omelette in San Diego!!! My go to for breakfast when I'm in the area.

I frequent this shop often enough and have typically ordered the same items: carne asada fries (the fries are good quality, dont taste cheap and fried well), carne asada burrito (great flavor and decent meat cuts- not full of fatty pieces), rolled tacos with everything (these are crunchy on the outside and soft on inside, and not mostly tortilla with minimal meat like at some places), and hot carrots (which are pretty good, not too spicy, don't taste like they sat in a plastic bin but could slightly improve imo). We tried California burritos though and we're mildly disappointed. For the cons, there are soft potato chunks that take up a good portion of the burrito (1/3-1/2) and there's no guacamole or sour cream! :( BUT it is a really great size, the meat that was in there were not fatty/ chewy, and it generally had great flavor. Overall though we really like this shop because the food is consistently good, customer service is great, the prices havent become absurd and its close to home. Will definitely continue to eat here read more

It's 2-2 not that good to expensive for the quality of food salsas are good but not tha food

tl; dr Poor Customer Service This used to be our favorite taco shop because it's nearby, and the food is tasty and of high quality. The above is what I'll give it two stars instead of one. However, they have treated me poorly multiple times now, and that's why we'll never be going back. I have a dairy allergy, and on one more than one occasion, despite specifically asking for no cheese, I have gotten home to discover cheese on my food. Each time, we've had to go back, and they've demanded the food back in order for us to get a replacement. Last time I went there, when I got home and discovered cheese on my food, I hopped in the car and called them on the way to ask for a replacement. I was very calm and nice on the phone. I got there and they were already closed. They let me in, and get this: I actually apologized to them because I felt so bad that they had to stay open an extra few minutes for me. When the man asked for my cheesed food, I apologetically told him that I had left it at home. He got an aggressive tone with me and told me, very condescendingly, that they'd make an exception this one time. I said, "Just ask your cook. He'll tell you he put cheese on the rolled tacos. I'm not lying." He said he needed the old food. So I told him nevermind and to keep the food and I won't be coming back. He said, "That's your prerogative." I told him that my husband I have been regulars for years, and it's so messed up that he would treat me that way. THEY messed up the order. I had to drive back there. And he acts like I did something wrong? read more

Great little "hole in the wall" as they say! Friendly Customer service. My mom got sick while on vacation and wanted some caldo de res. Our first choice was Nancy's and they had sold out! Luckily they had some left without the larger portions of beef and were able to sell us some. My mom was so happy and said it was the best stew she ver had! Great broth, portions and quality of veggies and beef! They also have a great menu and their food is delicious! read more

Meh. Nice employees. Food is great in the clutch and you are drunk or high. Prices are raising but not their fault. 35T in national debt and a 100T in hidden derivatives. The BRICs will put us all the sleep soon. No problemas amigos! read more

This is a great hidden gem right off the 94 and 125 freeway. Stopped in while I was waiting at the laundromat and was pleasantly surprised! The cook was friendly and very kind, as was the man who took my order. Highly recommend this spot if you're in the area! The tacos were hot with delicious meat and the beans and rice were fantastic. Will be going again! read more

Nancy's Taco Shop 2 - a plate of mexican food - Mexican Near Me - La Mesa, California

I came by here to have some T.J. tacos. You can get 3 for $3.50 and you can choose from carne asada, carnitas, adobada, etc., I had the carnitas. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/Mh-vcuNZd46rLhmyxChAUQ?select=39OU34iaB1QhLLngaKgjyg) The 3 tacos on double mini corn tortillas will nicely filled with carnitas, guacamole, and salsa fresca. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/Mh-vcuNZd46rLhmyxChAUQ?select=hKBtaOb1DniGDVhWgts50g) The carnitas were good and so was the guacamole. Their red hot sauce went very well with the tacos. The tortillas were good but they were missing that nice stoned corn flavor. Could of been better. For $3.50 these tacos were a good deal and tasted good. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/Mh-vcuNZd46rLhmyxChAUQ?select=XEwcifi8Eft3poO2_QOW8Q The place is a little dingy and could use an upgrade. One may consider this place a borderline whole in the wall, but the food is good. read more

Nancy's Taco Shop 2 - California Burrito - Mexican Near Me - La Mesa, California

Not sure who or where Nancy might be, but there were only men working here when I visited. All the customers were also male. Since the signs feature breakfast (burritos), that's what I tried: a zucchini, tomato, mushroom, egg, and cheese burrito, and a nopales and egg burrito. Both were good but had a little less vegetables than I expected and hoped for. It also seems like guacamole only comes with their carne asada burrito or steak and shrimp burrito. No extra charge is added for paying with a card but the tax seems rounded up to make an even number and not the actual amount the California Franchise Tax Board expects to collect from the purchase price. read more

This is a local Christian owned business that has been here forever. I had never eaten here before. I was next door getting Chinese but my man wanted a Carne Asada burrito. We placed his order and it did not take very long at all. I think the total wait was about 5 minutes. The inside of the estyablishment is very colorful and they have their own Tax business in the back. LOL. I kid you not . This place should be called Nancy's Taco and Income tax notary public Shop 2. The burrito was a decent size however the burrito was just a regular burrito.. It was nothing special. So my quest is still on for the perfect Carne Asada burrito. I would eat here again but it wouldn't be the burrito. I would go for something more classic like the Lengua en chile verde or Higado encebollado. And guess what they don't have on the menu? FLAN. WHEW. THAT IS NO BUENO read more

One of the best in SD, I now live in Pennsylvania but I make it my mission to stop here every visit to get my fix! The only reason it's not 5 stars is because the two times I ordered my last visit the guacamole was already a little brown on my carne asada tacos, I could see if they've been sitting for a while but these were fresh so the guac shouldn't of been turning already. read more

This place is ok. Wasn't thrilled with the Carne Asada I prefer marinated Carne grilled in a hot tortilla with Mexican salsa Fresca and guacamole this wasn't it but the gold star tacos are real good! The menudo is good too. Can never go wrong with rolled tacos. The tax they add on their food is wrong I believe if the California Franchise Tax board is aware of their little heavy finger someone will be fined or owe big time. When I asked why they charge so much Tax was told it's already programmed in the cash drawer! Get your itemized receipt each time. read more

Best breakfast burritos in town. Cruz, the store manager is always friendly. Highly recommended taco shop in the la Mesa/spring valley area.

Husband and I were just driving around looking for some place to eat, decided to try some small food place we had never been to. We got to this area, saw the sign and thought...sure why not? I'm glad this ended up being our random choice because it turned out nice. The place is small but nice, the staff was friendly, & my California burrito was delicious. I'm sure we'll be back since it's not far from home. Lots of stuff on the menu I wouldn't mind trying. read more

This taco shop is great. It is close to home and work and the prices are perfect. The quantity is large and the quality is A+. I mostly eat carne asada and I know that the quality around town varies greatly. Can't go wrong here. Everything that I have eaten at Nancy's is great. Had pork tacos last night and the California burrito for lunch. Love it. I just wish they were open all night... read more

Highly recommend the steak and shrimp burrito, it is truly my addiction! The only thing I have to say is that they seem to be a little pricey for a taco shop. Its definitely the most I've ever spent on a burrito. It's about $8 after tax and Even when I get a plain bean burrito with Gauc I spend $6 bucks which is double what you would normally pay. Also,I wish they were open 24 hours read more
