This spot seriously impressed me. The tortillas were fresh and had that perfect texture , soft but with a little bite. You can immediately tell they care about quality. The steak was cooked perfectly, super flavorful, and not dry at all. The salsas were on point too! great balance of heat and flavor, not just spicy for no reason. Everything tasted clean and well thought out. You can tell there's an experienced chef behind the scenes who understands how to keep it simple but execute it at a high level. Definitely coming back. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Came to try Taco Tuesday. Wasn't anything special. My take out order somehow got messy but I never tipped the bag over or anything. Salsas were bland/flavorless. Parking lot small. Tacos next door at the shawarma place are actually better if you're in the area. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Saco’s Tacos - Tacos Near Me - San Diego, California

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. read more

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. read more

By far some of the best Mexican food Pacific Beach has to offer and finally don't have to drive 20+ min for authentic Mexican food! Oscar's, La Perla's, Mission Baja Tacos -- their quality doesn't match that of Saco's. So happy to have this hole in the wall, hope it stays! read more

I was really excited to try this place! I got the chicken burrito which comes with guac and salsa. I added cheese and beans which was an additional $2 for each which I thought was a lot. Most burritos come with that. I also got chips was additional charge, so my chicken burrito with chips came out to almost $20. It was good, but not for the price read more

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. read more

What a great new spot! We had carne asada tacos and the California burrito. The tacos came with guac. All were good! The carne was a little dry and not the most flavorful I've ever had, but it didn't spoil the experience. They have a good variety on the salsa bar, with limes and pickled carrots/ onions as an option. The jamicah Agua fresca was very sweet but yummy. The staff were all kind. The shop itself is your typical strip mall taco shop. Nothing fancy, 4 tables. Clean! The read more

Lots of menu options and clean place. However, food didn't have much flavor. I was particularly disappointed in the birria consome - it was very watered down. Carne asada also didn't have flavor and it was overcooked - we had this in our tacos and fries. read more

Great food, great prices, and great service! I especially enjoyed the street tacos! Will definitely be coming back!

Literally typed in "Mexican food in PB" on TikTok and this place popped up--and I am so glad we gave it a try! I stopped in with my boyfriend and we were immediately greeted by Ray, who made us feel right at home. I was super hungry and ordered one each of the carne asada, birria, and al pastor tacos. My boyfriend went with the pollo asado burrito, and we added chips & guac on the side. Total was $33.56--reasonable, especially considering the generous portions. They do not skimp here. I was starving and still barely made it through two tacos, and my boyfriend only managed half of his burrito! Everything was absolutely delicious. Carne asada had a great char and was full of flavor, topped with fresh pico and guac. Birria taco came with a very generous side of consomé--so rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced (not oily like some places). I even dipped it in the chipotle sauce from the salsa bar--10/10! Al pastor was just as tasty, loaded with meat and pico. My boyfriend enjoyed his pollo asado burrito, though honestly, the tacos alone would have been more than enough for both of us. Ray went above and beyond he even brought my boyfriend a pineapple agua fresca on the house. Such a thoughtful touch! We saw lots of to-go orders, but if you're in the area I definitely recommend dining in. It's casual, clean, and the food is best enjoyed fresh. I also noticed they have a breakfast burrito on the menu, so we'll definitely be back to try that. This place is new to the area and truly deserves all the love. Highly recommend! read more

The food is delicious. The service is fairly quick. The food portion is decent. The ambiance of the restaurant is pretty nice and quiet, but I wish more people would dine at this restaurant. The parking is pretty limited, due to restaurant being located at a strip mall, but I had no problem finding parking every time so far. The price is pretty reasonable. It is even cheaper if you Synergy Restaurant Gift Card from Costco. read more

We visited Saco's on Sunday 11/16/25. All the things many of us want in an eating experience were here. Great food, great price, nice atmosphere and staff that appreciated us being there. They brought out free fresh chips and fresh salsa. Chips were perfect. Not overly salty. I had the fish burrito and my wife the 3 tacos. The same beer I paid $10 for at another local restaurant was $2.50. read more
