Mini Street Tacos (top) and Surf & Saco (bottom)
Jessica S.

My friends and I were trying to find a taco place that either wouldn't be too crowded, far, and/or had good parking for a late-ish dinner. We found this spot via Yelp, and thought to check it out! It's located in a small plaza next to Shawarma Shack on Garnet Ave outside of Pacific Beach. There's a parking lot which could get packed during lunch or dinner rush hours. There was a deal for 3 street tacos (mini tacos) for $6.49. What a steal! It was mix and match as well. My boyfriend got their Cabeza, Al Pastor, and Carne Asade. I got an extra taco of their Surf and Saco. The tacos were loaded! This was honestly a steal with the amount of fillings the street tacos had. They were all soooo good. I did wish the carne asada had a little smokiness but not necessarily a negative. I couldn't really tell the difference of the tacos except for the cabeza without the plentiful guac, haha! The Surf and Saco was a bigger taco and drenched in a delicious spicy-ish aioli. It was full of shrimp and carne asada. No skimping at all. Soooo good! My brother also order some chips and salsa (pico de gallo) to share. The chips were hot! That was a huge plus to start off our meal. They had a salsa stand with a variety of toppings and sauces. I really liked their pickled onions, chipotle sauce, and avocado sauce. Their pickled onions were a huge plus in my taco experience. Definitely a hidden gem! Super happy to have found this spot. I definitely will be back for more of this Dela and their other tacos such as their fish taco combo.

Carne Asada Taco
Daniel D.

Street tacos? In PB? Yes. It's so hard to find affordable tacos anymore since a lot of tacos now cost upwards of $7 per taco! My wife found this place and told me about their street tacos deal where if you buy 3, it's less than $7. The restaurant is in small shopping lot about a mile from the beach in Pacific Beach. There is limited parking so you may have to park on the street. This is counter service restaurant where you order, sit down, and then they bring the tacos to your table. We ordered 3 carne asade and 3 adobada street tacos as well as a California burrito. They also gave use some complimentary chips as well. The meat was seasoned well, cooked perfectly, and had plenty of flavor. We loved the tacos. The California burrito was good too but the fries inside were super greasy. Chips were nice and crispy with a bit of salt. The salsa bar is basic but gets the job done. I definitely recommend coming here for their street tacos deal.

The staff were nice and on a Saturday at 6pm there was not many people inside. I mean, I am tutoring between a 3.5 and a three but I would have to say when we got the corn it was not as seasoned as other Elote that I've tried before. I saw them use just the prepped beans from a bag and rice from bag and then microwave the corn which I guess that makes sense for what they're trying to do. The fish was pretty fresh and the sense of them cooking on a grill plate so everything did seem like they make it to order. But the flavors just did not seem to be there maybe for their other tacos. It was much more flavorful, but with what we had, it was ok. The place is pretty well decorated and it seems like they have a lot of options. And the price was OK.

Carne Asada and Al Pastor mini tacos
Marcie L.

I came here around 8:45 PM on a Tuesday, just before their 9 PM closing time. There was only one other table seated, and ordering at the counter was quick and easy. For Taco Tuesday, mini street tacos are $1.69 each, with options of chicken, carne asada, and al pastor. I tried the carne asada and al pastor. *Carne Asada: tasted great and was topped with a generous avocado-style sauce. It was filling and packed with protein. *Al Pastor: my favorite. It had the most flavor and really stood out. My order was ready in under five minutes, everything tasted fresh, and the avocado sauce was especially good. Overall, a great experience. There's plenty of parking since it's in a shopping center, and they do take credit cards.

Quesabirria taco
Joy Z.

This was my second time getting a CA Burrito here. It is not just delicious but it's big enough for two meals. The girl behind the counter is super sweet and friendly. There is a good amount if seating but I took my food to go. It's very clean. The salsa bar was neat and fully stocked. I also got quesabirria tacos. They came with a dipping broth that was good (not super salty like other places). I couldn't taste the cheese so I'd probably order without the cheese next time. They were good but I loved the burrito a lot more. Prices seemed reasonable compared to other taco places in pb. Good takes a little bit of a wait but it is all cooked fresh to order. I will be back. Parking is also pretty easy as they have a parking lot and it had plenty of spaces.

Checked out Saco's Tacos in Pacific Beach--it's a newer spot, and you can tell the owners (same folks who run the smoke shop next door) really care about bringing something good to the neighborhood. Super friendly people who are clearly trying to support the needs of PB with some solid, quick eats. The food came out fast and hit the spot. The tacos were tasty, the salsa was fresh, and they've got a fun, unique spin on street corn that I wasn't expecting but really enjoyed. They're in a bit of a tucked-away location, but it's worth finding. Hopefully they stick around--PB could always use more spots like this.

Pollo Asado & Birria Street Tacos
Jack M.

This nice new taco shop in Pacific beach. They offer a three street taco special for $6.49 plus tax. It's a good deal but the tacos are a lot smaller than what the picture depicts on the window. On a good note, they put a good amount of protein and guacamole on the tacos. I had two pollo asada, which were tasty and the meat was tender, and I had one beef birria taco, which the meat was flavorful and juicy. The corn tortillas were very good. The service was good, but I do recommend that they open at the time they advertise, which is 10 am. They didn't open till 10:30 am, so O had to wait. They offer inside seating only.

Partial view of the suite front

Saco's Tacos has opened in an internal corner suite of a PB strip mall that has seen many businesses pass through after a longtime Thai eatery closed several years ago. Besides other taquerias, the latest venture was a hot chicken joint that lasted less than three years. The parking lot situation was not optimal if you visited when the neighboring restaurants have their peak customer traffic. The inside of the suite was reconfigured to allow for more on-site seating which was very beneficial. I came during the early days of the soft opening period. A menu sheet was available at the service counter as there were no boards or screens that displayed the offerings. Tacos, tortas, quesadillas, and burritos were the main categories. What struck me was how affordable the burritos were at a price range between $6.69 (bean & cheese) and $10.89 (surf & turf). I didn't try one, but that will happen at a return visit. A special that was not listed on the menu was three street sized tacos for $6.49! You have to go back to the last decade to get tacos at that low of a price. A grilled fish variety was included in the deal so that was one of my three choices. The other two were al pastor and carne asada for the proteins. A self-service salsa bar was available across from the counter. The tacos had sufficient flavor and toppings that I didn't need any salsas. The fish was the best of the trio with shredded lettuce, pico de gallo, and crema doused on top. Cilantro, onions, and guacamole came with the two meat tacos. The pork was a bit dry while the beef was tender and juicy. The service from the lady staffing the register was kind and helpful. Note that a credit card transaction did result in a $0.59 surcharge. My overall experience at Saco's Tacos was at a level between four and five stars.

Drink area

Good service, very polite! The salsas were great and tasted like fresh homemade. I tried the Surf & Saco Taco, an Al Pastor Taco, and a plain quesadilla. All were delicious. I'll be back to try more. The restaurant is also clean and well kept.

There are so many excellent taquerias in San Diego, and they all have their own great recipes for…read moreMexican food. I particularly enjoy the Adobada tacos from Chula Tacos because they serve a very generous portion of meat, guacamole and are very tasty. The first time I tried them was at their H Street restaurant in Chula Vista, but that location is temporarily closed. I decided to try their Palm Avenue location since I was in the area visiting family. The service was friendly, and the tacos were prepared very quickly. The restaurant was clean. I'm looking forward to the H Street location reopening since it is much closer to where I live. Happy Yelping :)

Sometimes, there are nights when only tacos can fix me. It's no secret that San Diego has tacos in…read morespades and being so close to the border, you'd think that a quest to find the perfect taco would be as simple as rolling down to the nearest taqueria. Except, it's not quite that simple. Many beloved staples have gone downhill, while some newer spots that might boast things like a Michelin mention or multiple locations ranging from TJ to Vegas contain more hype and gristle than tender meat and substance. Enter Chula Tacos. Chula is, and always was, the type of place that makes you forget that you're not actually in Tijuana. While part of me misses their OG Market Street location, seeing them with brick-and-mortars feels hard-earned and well-deserved. This location on Palm in IB is relatively easy to access from the freeway, but parking can be tricky. You can safely assume that it will be busy and you will either have to be very lucky or be willing to find a spot on the street. Out of all the times I've been here, it's always been crowded enough that I've never been able to find a table inside, but I enjoy sitting out on the patio next to the ahumederos. The first thing that hits you walking through the door is how amazing everything smells. The queue to the cashier takes you near a window showing the kitchen where you can see the Chula Tacos team making fresh tortillas, slicing meat from the trompos, grilling up jalapenos, nopales, onions, labio, and tripa. For me, it's not so much a challenge to decide what I want, it's more a challenge to keep myself from ordering everything. My usual is four tacos: two asada, two al pastor (but I've heard that I should also try their world famous keka). The tacos though? Perfection. Every time, the asada is the juiciest and most tender I've ever eaten, the al pastor is succulent and flavorful, and no taco in front of me is long for the world. At $3.50 each, every one of them is absolutely loaded. Three would honestly fill me up, but I always want four. After getting burned by spots that ask around 75% more and deliver anywhere between 25-50% less, Chula Tacos feels like an absolute godsend of a Tijuana-style taqueria and I can't see any other contenders being my go-to. So, when I say "Tacos will fix me," what I mean nowadays is "Chula Tacos will fix me."
