    Current daily specials as of 9.23.25

    1st time . Hopefully it's good. Ordered their specials Taco Al Pastor and 3 monster rolled tacos with rice and beans. Tacos were great. Very flavorful and good size for the price. The 3 monster rolled tacos was also good based on my wife's feedback but in my opinion the price point is a little high ($12.99) Overall though I would come back and try there other menu items or with their daily specials.

    It's been a couple of weeks but hope to get back on a Tuesday. Those tacos are worth going for. Only thing I've tried so far but I wish they were near me. Clean restaurant, good service, & great tacos.

    Stopped by for some rolled tacos. This place was pretty solid. They only have 1 option and its pork or beef (not sure) but theyre called the monster rolled tacos. But theyre topped with crema and guacamole on a bed of lettuce. Comes with a side of rice and refried beans. Those were pretty solid and tasty especially when combined with their salsa verde. The battered fish taco was pretty good too but the batter had some kind of seasoning which didnt add to the dish and made it taste a little different. I probably wouldnt get it again but it also wasnt bad. Overall, id come here again, id like to try their other items if im ever in the area again. The service was average and you get a free soda if you check in on yelp so that was cool.

    the quesadilla was the star!

    Got an amazing taco and a quesadilla with sour cream. I took the quesadilla to go. They give ample cheese and the sour cream was generous too. I really like the open kitchen and the interior is very modern and clean. I will definitely be back to try different tacos they offer! Also, I recommend their house red salsa. It was amazing and I tasted garlic in it! One thing I was impressed with this they gave me a side of cilantro at no charge! Highly recommend Taco Lounge. There is easy street parking.

    Side order of rice and beans for 2.99 each.

    2.99 for a side order of rice and 2.99 for a side order of beans... you could eat both in one bite. Ordered a surf and turf burrito with no shrimp. Don't waste your time here, this is probably the worst taco shop I have been to. The food has no taste.

    Carne Asada tacos
    Anthony A.

    Fist time here. It was nice. The place is clean, and the customer service is good. The prices are a little high for tacos. Well for me. I believe they were 3.79 for a carne asada taco. The Asada is cooked well and has decent taste. The Al Pastor is pretty good. The Monster roll tacos were very good. One thing I really liked, was the red salsa. It had a little heat, but more on the flavor side. The green salsa, was to tangy for me. I will come back to try their Protein Bowl.

    The fish taco was bad... not crispy and tasted old fish
    Josie N.

    Went here for late lunch and saw a few post on insta so decided to try it out. I got the fish tacos, birria, and asada while my bf got the fish tacos. The fish taco was pretty bad, it was freezer burned or something but tasted old and the batter was soggy and not cooked till crispy so that was a fail. The birria lacked flavor and the asada was way over cooked. The corn tortilla looks house made but it's just very thick and wasn't really sturdy. They plus side they do give a little bag of chips.

    Taco Lounge is our favorite local taco shop! They serve high quality ingredients each and every time! The staff is kind, consistent & super efficient. My favorite is the grilled shrimp taco. They use fresh avocados & the best chipotle sauce! My daughter's favorite is the carne asada tacos (& occasionally carne asada fries). We also love the Birria taco (pictured) & consommé. We dine-in often and do take-out as well. Both dining options are great. Taco Lounge is clean & inviting. The staff sets you up with all of the necessary condiments. We appreciate everyone at Taco Lounge! Both locations! (Photo from Escaya location)

    These are the small tacos. Carne asada tacos are good. The fish tacos are good. Recommend ordering for pick up.

    Lately, I have cravings for tacos. Especially, fish tacos!! Came into the taco shop and it is very welcoming. I ordered two fish tacos and a asada tacos. I saw that they make their tortillas in-house and fresh to order, I couldn't resist and captured the proof! The tacos were a pretty good size. Let me say, the corn tortilla was nutty, soft - I really liked the texture! The asada taco was soft, and seasoned very well with all the toppings. The guacamole was the mic drop for it! To my main event, the hot crispy fresh fish tacos was amazing (top 3). The fish was meaty, flaky and overall seasoning -toppings, had complemented in the best way possible. For the fish tacos, the green and red salsa was light-refreshing and changed flavor profiles in every bite. 10/10 recommend

    What type of fish is used in your fish tacos?

    Duh. Frozen tilapia. Non sustainable I presume. As if sustainable means anything to the boat captions when the inspectors aren't onboard

    40 min wait for tacos... is it really worth it?

    i have never had to wait that long and i usually go on a Sunday but yes 100% worth it

    How much do you charge for catering for about 50 people?

    Hello, we charge $12 per person but we currently have a promotion at $10 per person and that includes choosing your protein or a mix of proteins (carne asada, chicken or pork) and we will include chips, beans and rice. Limes and salsas are included… Read more

Just be more patient and mindful that they're doing the best they can Food 5/5 -mixed(surtido) and cheek(cachete) tacos, meat is TENDER. I honestly can't taste the difference between the two, I just knew I wanted to keep eating them(even after eating 3). Sturdy tortillas so the tacos weren't falling apart as I was eating, I also really liked that each table had two squeeze bottles of salsa, so convenient -orden/order, if you come here, you have to order this soup with the head meat. It's the essence that sums up the restaurant, it's a little peppery with the sweetness from the diced onions and meaty goodness. It comes with about 4 tortillas and there's a lot of meat in the soup to be made into more tacos Ambiance 5/5 -restaurant was full of people eating food happily(obviously the food was delicious) and there was a guy that sang for donations and vendors that came through selling trinkets, just a mixing pot of life and happy place to eat

    It's been awhile & I gladly like to update my review here up to 4 stars! One of my fav taco shops…read morein SD. At first I gave them a great review & last time not so great due to prices & portions. Well now over the years their prices are better than other taco shops & portions have gotten bigger. Tho they only have 3 tacos on the menu, Carne Asada, Birria, Adobada, they are good & they have one of the better Birria soup/broth in SD. Their carne asada is one of the best in SD, so juicy & soft I love it, their Birria taco is good too but I prefer their order of Birria or broth & their Adobada is ok just a bit too marinated for me. They also have burritos, tortas & Mullitas & I recommend the Carne Asada form in those because I believe they have one of the best Carne Asada meats in SD. The customer service is really good, cooks are cool & fast & the girls on the register are really nice & the place is always clean. And you know the best part, they have a dispensary/weed store next door so you can buy a joint & go smoke a joint in your car & then walk here & get a few tacos & Birria broth, now that's a perfect breakfast or lunch, tacos & weed go hand & hand baby :) Overall a good little hole in the wall taco shop if you don't want crazy long lines & good service & good tacos & Birria meat or broth this is your place. I even met the Baseball player Adrain Gonzalez here (you can see in my pics) & had tacos on the table next to him & talked baseball a bit & no I was not high, at that moment.

    Tacos El Cino - A Must-Try for Adobada Vampiros…read more One of my favorite taco spots, hands down. I've tried a million places, but the adobada vampiros here keep me coming back. Think of it as a tostada sandwich with cheese on both sides, onions, cilantro, guacamole, and perfectly seasoned adobada meat. Unlike other spots where the tortilla is overcooked or turns chewy, here it's always crispy--adding a satisfying crunch to every bite. The salsa is a standout, too. There's a unique spice in it, maybe cumin, that I can't quite place, but it's delicious. They also offer a green salsa and a habanero salsa, which I'll have to try next time. The slightly sweet adobada pairs really well with the savory salsa, making every bite flavorful and balanced. I also tried the adobada keto taco--just in case I ever decide to do healthier Yelp reviews. It has all the same ingredients but swaps the tortilla for a cheese shell. Surprisingly, the shell held up well with all the toppings and had a great taste, just slightly less filling. If you're thinking about going keto but don't want to give up tacos, this is a solid option.

    Have had this saved on my yelp for a while now. Was not able to try it last time in the area. Was…read moreable to try it this time. We had the adobada, Asada, tripas, tacos and mulita. The adobada and tripas were very tasty! Friendly staff. Fast service. $2.95 tacos! Will definitely be back!.
