    I came to Mexico last week, and during our free time, we came here. Everything was incredible. Our group sampled everything from the papa rellena, the beef, tripe, pork, and everything in between, and these tacos were incredible. The place can get busy and loud, and sometimes they're not the fastest in getting your order in. The horchata was a deliciously cold way to wash down the food. Once you get past the noise and the busyness, this is a fantastic place to eat lunch with. I would genuinely come here again. The beef tacos were the standout dishes. If you're ever in Baja California and you miss out here, you're missing out. I also had a tostada, but it tasted like it was cooked for a little too long, but definitely worth the hype. 4.5 stars.

    Friendly staff. Lots of children playing. Tacos and guac were outstanding! Food was authentic vs Americanized!

    Tacos Al Pastor & Tacos Asada

    In 2016 (8 years ago) my wife and I dined here while on a week long vacation. This is, without exaggerating, virtually the best taco experience we have ever shared in a restaurant. My spouse is Mexican and grew up on tacos. We have authored a cookbook on Mexican cuisine. These tacos and the taquero who prepared them were unbelievably perfect in flavor, consistency, texture, and freshness. It is simple counter service. Order any version you like, then STAY OUT OF THE WAY OF THE CHEF. He is friendly but works at lightning speed with unrivaled accuracy. While we were there a fellow US visitor started using his mis en place like a taco bar. He shot this idiot a look like a total pro, and the idiot sauntered back to his table. That kind of forgiveness is what makes Mexico and its people the most forgiving to our ignorance. This chef's operation is remarkable. If you are lucky enough to eat there, savor every bite, and don't look for a white tablecloth or fancy signs & service but trust it s THE taco experience you should have.

    This place was so good! Tacos were reasonably priced and delicious. This is the perfect lunch spot when visiting Todo Santos. No frills environment but clean.

    This place is usually only open late afternoon/evening. I've had their pastor as well as Asada tacos, both were good but the pastor is hands down better. It's not the best taco place in town but definitely good. My only complaint is the lack of condiment selection, only one salsa which is mild and not crazy flavorful, some cucumbers, radishes and limes.

    Best tacos ever! Tortillas hot and perfectly toasted, meat was piping hot, nice crispy yet soft and tender and incredibly flavourful, cheap and awesome! Best tacos ever! We are DEFINITELY going back! Quick service, but very busy, zero ambiences, but when the food is THIS good and cheap, who cares? 6/5!

    Bro. These tacos. Breh. Best ever. Menu is simple. Food is fresh. Flavors are off the charts. Service is friendly. Jamaica agua fresca is bomb, not too sweet. Or bring a beer or two from the market across the street. First night in town we ordered six tacos, three asada & three pastor. Server recommended corn tortillas for the pastor and flour for the asada, so that's how we rolled. She was right. Tortillas are handmade, meat is piled high, and tacos are topped with the usual onions & cilantro plus a heaping of guacamole. All types of juicy messy goodness. Also they bring out a plate of salsa, radishes, and cucumbers to have with your meal, and the radishes were amazing. A building heat that almost gets up in your nasal passages like wasabi. Ate here two of the three days and it wasn't enough. I miss it. A filling feast of tacos for two for less than 10 bucks. Yea I miss it.

    Very authentic CDX style tacos. The staff were friendly and accommodating. If you need a break from fish tacos, prioritize Tacos el Poblano.

    This place is fantastic, not a lot of options but everything is good. It's in a concrete shell, no doors, all adds to the ambiance.

    This review is only for the mezcal, we did not eat any food…read more This is a legit mezcaleria. Compared to other area bars, they have sourced bottles directly from mezcaleros in Oaxaca and other DOM states (vs average bottles you find at most other area bars e.g. Union, 400 Conejos). Presentation is traditional with sliced fruit & crickets. So why only 3 stars? Pricing!! Holy Cha-Ching as these prices are even more expensive than you would find in most US mezcal bars. For example, they have a flight of 6 pours (maybe 1oz each) for $53 USD! They have a Borrego that is going for $26 a pour...thems Las Vegas baller room prices! I dig it but I've not encountered those prices anywhere else in Mexico or most places in the US. Great space tho, and I hear the food is excellent.

    This is my all-time favorite place in Todos Santos. Every day there is a limited menu with veggie,…read morechicken or red meat, and seafood options and a daily desert. They now have a kids menu too. You never know what the menu is going to be but that's half the fun of it, plus everything is going to be delicious so you can't order wrong. We started coming to El Refugio back in early 2018 when they were in their old location near the park. The new location is much bigger but hasn't lost their charm, it still feels like coming home when you walk down the alleyway. Do not leave without doing a mezcal tasting, it's worth it just to read the descriptions of the different mezcal on offer. Everyone who works there is an absolute delight. They also offer cooking classes which I highly recommend. We have done cooking classes in several other cities in Mexico and I can honestly say learning from Noel is an honor and a treat not to be missed.
