So glad I found Mar Y Tierra!!! Everyone was sooo nice to me even though I had a hard time remembering "sesenta" briefly (when I think in Spanish now, Japanese comes out... it's funny but it's a problem lol) and even though I'm a gringa with a basic order. I just got 1 shrimp & 1 fish taco both with avocado and a jamaica. When I tell you I ate these like I had never eaten food before... Shrimp was incredibly tender and wonderful. The fish was huge, flaky and crispy and juicy. Honestly I ate them so quickly they could've been made of liquid. But they were sooo delicious!! They included extra sauce and the green salsa wasn't too spicy for me which I so appreciate! They also included 2 limes for one of the tacos which made me think someone really loves me today :') I would definitely come back here anytime and try more things on the menu! Very very delicious!! Thank you for the delicious food and taking care of me today!!!

My bf and I stopped by Mariscos y Birrieria El Prieto on a Sunday morning and one of our favorite…read moreYouTubers suggested it. Ambiance: The place was busy but not overwhelmingly crowded. Just a heads up before you go, there is no seating. It's a standing-room-only setup with barrel tables throughout the outdoor space. You order from one of the trucks, find a place to stand, and enjoy your food. The atmosphere felt lively and authentic, making it part of the experience. Service: Service was quick and efficient despite the crowd. There was even someone helping direct parking, which made arriving and finding a spot much easier. Food: The complimentary consommé completely stole the show for me. It was rich, flavorful, and packed with chunks of seafood. Every bite had a deep, savory flavor with just the right amount of spice. It was honestly my favorite thing we tried. We ordered the Gobernador, the Negrita, and fish tacos. The Gobernador was loaded with shrimp and melted cheese, creating the perfect combination of rich, savory seafood flavor. The shrimp tasted incredibly fresh and was cooked perfectly. The Negrita was another standout, piled high with shrimp, sliced avocado, and topped with an oyster that added even more fresh ocean flavor. It was served with tostadas on the side, and every bite was packed with bold seasoning, fresh seafood, and great texture. The fish taco was good and made with fresh ingredients. My bf and I are big foodies and have eaten a lot of fish tacos over the years, so we're probably tougher critics than most. While it wasn't our favorite item of the meal, it was still enjoyable, and the Gobernador and Negrita were the clear standouts for us. While the prices are a little higher, the quality, freshness, and portion sizes help justify it. Overall, this was a great experience from start to finish. Between the flavorful seafood, and generous portions, it's definitely worth coming back again.

El Prieto (Main St, San Diego) Rating: 2.5 / 5 Stars…read more I really wanted to enjoy my visit to El Prieto, but unfortunately, the experience was a series of "almosts" that didn't quite land. Here is the breakdown of my recent meal: The Food The kitchen missed the mark on a few basics. My bistec ranchero was underwhelming; the sauce was overly "tomatoey," lacking the deep, savory complexity or spice you expect from a solid ranchero. To make matters worse, the rice served on the side was noticeably cold, which is always a disappointment. The Drinks The beverage situation was equally frustrating. I was surprised to find that the bar offers no wine options at all. I decided to pivot to an Arnold Palmer, which ended up being the worst version of the drink I've ever had--the proportions were completely off. Service & Atmosphere The service felt lacking throughout the night, with very little attention paid to the table. Most off-putting, however, is the policy stated on the menu: a 45-minute window to eat. It's hard to relax and enjoy a meal when you feel like you're being timed by the staff. Verdict Between the cold sides, a limited bar, and the rushed atmosphere created by the time limit, I can't say I'd be in a hurry to return. There are too many great spots in San Diego to settle for a 45-minute countdown.

The chicken, the rice, and the "vegetables" (it was just some squash and raw onions) had no flavor at all. If you scroll down you'll see other reviews with the same complaints.

After enjoying a cold beer, I asked them to make me the Mushroom and Sausage pizza baked in a red and black wood fire oven. The pizza cost $12. The pizza was quite excellent at many levels. First of all, I was very pleased with the sauce made from organic San Marzano Tomatoes. It was light but provided a great natural mild tomato flavor. I had a great balance between sweet and acidity, both being very subtle. The pizza's sausage is made by the proprietor, Mario M., and let me tell you, he makes some grand sausage. The sausage was lighter than most and not overwhelmed by herbs and seasoning. It did have a small amount of fennel seeds, but no so much that it allowed the natural pork flavor to come through nicely. The mushrooms that came with this pizza were rendered down well from baking and were tender with a good earthy flavor. The Mozzarella was fresh and the pizza came with just the right amount. I was very impressed with the pizza's crust. It was of the thinner variety but held up very well to the pizza's ingredients. Even though it was thin and had a good light crunch, it also had very good texture and where there was some sort of thickness, it had a bit of a chew. You can find this pizza truck at local breweries and such, so check out their calendar, twitter, or your local breweries calendar for when they might be in your area.

It's a new food truck that shares the same parking lot as the American legion and is hard to miss because it is at the corner of a busy Linda Vista intersection that can either take you down to university city, USD, or convoy. The best birria tacos I ever had was at a food truck near LAX. I dream about it every night and have been on the hunt for the best birria tacos in San Diego ever since. I'm glad that Birria Spot had a pretty big selection. Tacos, mulitas, quesadilas and even fries! I ended up just going with the good old birria tacos. The consome you have to buy separately. The service was friendly and tables were very clean. The only reason I can't give them 10/10 is because the tortilla was on the stale side and meat was also a little dry. Thankfully the consome and the hot sauces on the side help it be a little more moist. It still doesn't beat the ones I had in LA and I think El Viejon's birria tacos is by far my favorite in San Diego but for the convenience and decent pricing I would definitely come here again for a quick treat.

They were no joke! 2. Side of consommé: super delicious- must order this to dip with the birria tacos. 3. Adobada taco: exactly as expected- perfect but again- be careful with the strong chilies. 4. Agua fresca: all wonderful tamarind is my fav, horchata was ok, sad they were out of the watermelon and didn't refill it. 5. Pata de res taco: served up super lazy style. All the huge bones laying there and one huge chunk of the cartilage etc. I did not care at all for the plating. I had to take it home and slice it up myself and rearrange the whole thing to be edible as a taco. I think they just fished the entire hoof out of the pot and slapped it on a tortilla. No thanks - impossible to eat outdoors this way at a food truck bench. If they want people to order it, I highly recommend they slice it up and remove everything from the bones and put it in the tortilla properly. The bones serve no purpose because there isn't buttery marrow like osso bucco- it's all in the consommé. I had to look up a word to describe this mess and learned a new word- "inabordable" - in French and Spanish - unmanageable food. The condiments were divine- the curtados were perfectly seasoned. If my pata taco had been served edibly I would've piled it high with the red onion and devoured it fresh. The smoked chili condiment should be bottled and sold by them- it's amazing- not too spicy but full to bursting with flavor. The limes and radishes were empty most of the time we were there. Hard to keep up with a busy lunch crowd. Be prepared for lines and tight parking! Go early for the best experience. Also- don't get confused because they share the tent with another taco truck ElChino which was completely dead- no line while Xolo was 7 people deep the whole time.
