My mom hates tacos but after she ate the tacos here, she's been clamoring to go back (we live in LA!). The taco skins here remind me of something between a mix of naan and chinese scallion pancakes which works really well and is pretty unique! If you have low spice tolerance, ask for salsa on the side, cuz the salsa here definitely has that fire. The craft sodas are super refreshing too and you can sit on the rooftop with beautiful ocean views. Good service as well. This place is hard to find. It's in the food court section of Seaport village inside of Mike Hess Brewery.
Unless you're from the area, this was quick tricky to find as it's connected to Mike Hess Brewing. We must have gotten there at a good time since the line to order got longer and longer. We ordered the chicken nachos, tostada, double IPA and one of the local sodas. We were given a number to bring to our table. We sat outside with the water view. Both drinks were good but it took awhile for our food to arrive - maybe 20 mins. One good thing was this homemade tortilla chips. The nachos was average and could be skipped. Our favorite though were the tostadas. The fish was fresh and topped with onions and avocados with some spicy sauce.
Perfect for a casual meal with amazing views, these tacos are some of my favorite in San Diego! Highly recommend the ossobucco taco and the quesibirria tapatia taco we love sitting on the upper level and watching the sunset and the water
I came here on a Monday night after walking around the Seaport Village area. This place is tucked along the walkway near the water. There is a brewery (Mike Hess Brewing) connected to this restaurant. I ordered the Crispy Shrimp Taco, Surf & Turf Taco, and the Fish & Chips. The tacos were both delicious and I realized after I ordered them that they were made with homemade tortillas! They also have several different salsas that can add some spiciness to the tacos. The fish and chips were crispy and delicious. The fries were nice and crispy and had cotija cheese and green onion topped on it. The service was good and it's a restaurant where you pay first. I would definitely come back to try the other menu items when I am visiting next.
Today was my fourth time sitting upstairs and eating Quiero tacos with a Mike Hess beer. Service - always good. You order at a kiosk and you get a number to take to your seat. Food - delicious every time! I always get the seafood options and surf turf. Well seasoned and cooked perfectly. View - STUNNING
Delicious little spot on the water! My friends and I came in for a wedding and found this spot on the water. It was slightly hard to find and I only knew it was inside the brewery because of other Yelp reviews I read. I got the shrimp taco and the fish taco. Both were light delicious and flavorful. I also had the mango margarita slushy - so I think it was a brewery item and not a Quiero taco problem - but it had no flavor at all... They were trying to host trivia on the patio but the speaker/microphone was so low- you couldn't tell it was happening, or there was more music drowning it out. Overall enjoyable place
Stopped by for a quick bite as hubby wanted their micro brewed beer. And I opted for some tacos. Note there is a downstairs which is right off the pedestrian seaport pathway, which gets so crowded and there is an upstairs which is accessible from the back of the building, which had no lines and open tables! So glad we found the upstairs! Hubby got their brewed beer and I got a non-alcoholic beer. And we opted for a fish taco, shrimp taco and a mahi mahi cooked ceviche. All were so fresh and delicious! Why can't we get tacos this good in nyc?
This place reminds me a lot of city tacos. It's inside Mike Hess brewery. You order inside and eat on the patio. The patio faces the harbor so it's pretty nice. I was happy with a few veggie options. I got the portobello and zucchini tacos. Bothe were delicious. It's inside seaport village which is a little tourist trap place with expensive parking so you kinda have to want to wander around the village to make it worth it. But if you're there and want some tacos maybe this is your place.
Idk if I ordered the wrong thing, but the food was very average. I got the chicken tacos and the chicken was sooooo dry. Not a great amount of flavor either. The ambiance was nice though! In a great location
Not planning to eat here, we were walking along the waterfront to find some outdoor seating, and we found this amazing venue, right on bay! Fresh seafood and land lover foods made on rich, freshly made flour or corn tacos. My work associate had two amazing fish tacos that were remarkably fresh, where I enjoyed both a carnitas and Hawaiian chourio taco! Outstanding with a cane sugar local California cola! Stop in for lunch or dinner!
Why 5 stars? Because I was just so happy to be here. --- --- --- After a long work week of constant travel, San Diego was our last stop. I had time for a quick lunch, and knew I wanted tacos. I nearly went into the Gaslamp to another place with great ratings, but I spotted Quiero Tacos at the last minute. While they didn't have as many reviews, people seemed to love it, but most importantly, I could sit on the water as I engorged myself with meat-filled tortillas. YES. I ordered at the counter and grabbed a spot outside, with a perfect ocean view. I will admit, I pretty much knew for sure at that moment that my review was going to consist of 5-stars, regardless of what the tacos tasted like. But the good news is, a couple of them were excellent, scenery aside. The Mike Hess fish taco and the Quesa Birria Tapatia were basically perfect tacos. If I could go back, I would have just ordered two of each of these and called it a day. In the spirit of fairness, I did not love the Hawaiian Chorizo or the Carne Asada tacos, but again, I was already about 93% of my to 5-stars because I even saw those tacos on my plate. I'm so glad I came here and I'm about *this* close to moving to San Diego. I may never leave.
Reviews are largely positive. Many highlight the taco flavor and variety, homemade tortillas and salsas, and the scenic waterfront location.

Fish taco grilled shrimp taco spicy shrimp tacos flour tortillas. All so good. Their fish is 10/10... Fish and chips. They fried this to perfection, the batter is everything to me. This is everything to me and the fish is just so good. You need this. We also got elote + chips & salsa. I'm going to be dreaming about that thanks. Couldn't get enough of everything genuinely read more
Initially tried these tacos at the Mike Hess in IB, but HAD TO bring my parents here when they visited from the east coast. I was super stoked to find that they also have a seaport village location which is closer to me than IB. These tacos were awesome with lots of great salsa options as well. The menu is massive with tons to choose from to satisfy whatever craving you're having. read more

My wife and I were in SD for 4 days for a work conference, and on the 1st day of the conference, we had a lunch break. The Seaport Village is adjacent to the Grand Hyatt where we were for the conference, so we looked around for some local fare. Specifically seafood. We couldn't have picked a better place for that! Though the line was a little lengthy, we ordered within 10 minutes, and had our food within 6 min of ordering. The view was fantastic, and the facilities were clean. We ordered fish and quesabirria tacos, while our co-workers ordered ceviche and nachos. Everyone enjoyed their orders, and I particularly think these were top 5 fish tacos I've ever had. The quesabirria was also very tasty as well. For being in SD during the summer when inflation was running rampant, together all 4 of us spent about $40 with 3 drinks. I totally recommend! read more
Great spot to dine. Easy order and seat yourself ordeal. Impressive and extensive menu. We ordered a wide array of food to share. On weekends they have live music which is nice to have especially seated outdoor lookin out the bay. For food there we're a few hits and misses. So fan favorites were the Quesi Birria, belly cubes, fish taco , fish and chips The others were ok. My biggest miss was their fries (carne asada fries, fries from fish n chips, carne asada burrito) the fries here were undercooked, cold and soft. Sadly this put this dining experience down a few stars. I'm hopeful it was just a bad batch since it was end of the night. read more
We enjoyed lunch at Quiero Tacos inside Mike Hess on a Friday afternoon. Upstairs was packed with people so we ended up downstairs. The view wasn't quite as amazing, but still very nice. Service was prompt and polite, although there was a bit of a wait for our food. Everyone was able to order different tacos, and there wasn't a dud in the bunch. We had fish, shrimp, carnitas, and birria. My tacos were great, the fish one was remarkably tasty. I've never had a fish taco in a flour tortilla, and it was crisped up so nicely. Also, get the frozen pink lemonade. It was so refreshing! read more

Perfect. This place is what makes San Diego great. I went for a walk along the waterfront and got hungry for a mid morning breakfast. I had the sunny side up taco along with avocado toast. Wow. The fried taco, beans, and egg was a perfect combo. Only $3.50. But the main treat was the avocado toast. The bread was perfect crunch, cold perfect avocado with toasted bun. And goat cheese. Great view of bay with outdoor dining. And flavored soda on draft. Great. Simple. 5 star. Eat here. read more

We love Mike Hess and of course we love tacos, so this was a no brainer as a stop on our trip in SD! We love that Sea Port has gained this great option. Tacos were soooo good and who doesn't llove the Grapefruit Solis! I also had a great seltzer. Great service, awesome location next to all the tourist spot. We will be back! read more
Quiero Tacos has opened its doors in Mike Hess Brewery at Seaport Village. They will be here for awhile until they open their brick and motor in Imperial beach, but I do hope they keep this small version of themselves at the brewery as well. Why, because tasty beer for Hess and tasty tacos from Quiero, makes for some tasty double fisting! On the weekend, they are also open for breakfast. As a result, you can order some "Sunshine Tacos" or breakfast tacos in the form of a take on Huevos Rancheros. Although these tacos did not come with that creamy ranchero sauce, they were quite good to say the least. You can order your eggs to order, so I had them over medium, which they cooked on point. The tacos came with freshly sliced avocado, that rocks, a sprinkling of pico de gallo, that's always good, and a little smear of refied beans which were nice. What the tacos were missing was a nice sprinkling of queso seco or a dry grated cheese right on top. I would of been happy with some Cotija or a milder queso fresco. That would of been just grand. The tacos came on a terrific yellow corn hand made tortilla. The fluffy warm griddled tortilla made all the difference with these tacos. Good stuff indeed. The tacos were $3 a piece. The ladies who took my order via Mike Hess were very nice and so was the young lady who works at Quiero Tacos and brought my food out. read more
Great tacos! Loved the quesi birria tapatia (au jus) taco. Also got the esquite which was good but way too salty for us. Too much tajin unless they add salt too? Also I think there were spicy Cheetos on it? Not bad, but I couldn't tell for sure The churros were the best I've had in San Diego. I'm a stickler for only getting them in Mexico usually so I was impressed. I brought home a few to eat with Nutella as they only had caramel-which I highly recommend doing! read more

Quiero Tacos is a casual eatery located in Seaport Village, where you order at the counter and then grab a seat while waiting for your food. We shared the shrimp in a glass, some ceviche, and the seaport tuna tower. The presentation was prettier than I expected, but the seafood was not that fresh. The chips were thick and had a nice crunch though! read more

What a great location for a casual taco stop. The spot is right next to the ocean and there was some live music to definitely keep up the fun vibes. The place got busy pretty quickly during dinner time and I was told the wait for food could take up to 45 minutes.After ordering, it actually didn't take that long to get our order. I believe our full order came out around 15-20 minutes. I got to eat with a large group so we got to try a bunch of different items. The stand out items would be the Birria Tapatia, Fish Taco and the meat cubes. The food here was delicious but unfortunately anything that had french fries was absolutely horrible. The fries were cold, soggy and poorly seasoned. I love french fries and was shocked on how bad they were. I would stick with the tacos and avoid anything with fries. read more

I have been in this part of San Diego for almost a week. I can't get enough of this place... the tacos are outstanding and innovative. Mike Hess craft beer is as good as anything. I've tasted. Hard to believe that there aren't more positive reviews. If you like, creative food and high-quality brew with an amazing sunset, this is your place. The staff here is some of the friendliest you'll find in seaport. Something that I discovered a little too late was the upstairs. Probably one of the best views of the sunset that you will find in San Diego. Do not pass this place up... read more
