"Hermanos taco shop " BEST ROLL TACOS This spot has the…read morebest carne asada fries, the best carne asada chips, and honestly some of the best tacos and rolled tacos out of any taco shop in all of Southern California. Trust me, I've tried pretty much all of them. It's super consistent, definitely a local favorite, and one of those must have staple spots. What makes it even better is the price while other places are charging $10-$12 for a 5 taco plate with cheese and guacamole, you can come here and get it for around $7. That's a win every time. Service is always great. Location is always clean if you want to sit there and eat I normally love eating my food in my car, but that's my thing. #Tacos #CarneAsada #Foodie #SoCalEats #TacoShop #BestTacos #LocalFavorite #FoodReview #MexicanFood #FoodLovers

This was the best burrito I had in San Diego during my most recent trip! I heard the further south…read moreyou go, the better the food, and they were not wrong. I went to Hermanos and the worker helped me order a Surf and Turf with Adobada. I asked him if the liked surf and turf better or adobada, and recommended I combined the two! The place is cash only, and it has some seating inside. We waited about 5 minutes for our burrito, and it was delicious. The burrito was wet and saucy (I love saucy burritos). The flavors were strong and the pork was tender. The shrimp had the perfect bounce. Every bite was delicious! I would definitely recommend!

I have been eating…read morethese tacos as a kid for years and would only get to enjoy them when we would cross the border. Now thankfully they are here to enjoy in National City. They have a variety of things but my go to will always be the Tacos Al Vapor! (Carne-steamed beef: shredded beef with potatoes and secret recipe). I enjoy them with long stem onions, salsa, and pickled hot carrots, and radishes. The staff is friendly and there is indoor seating available. The place is simple. You come for the authentic tacos not the ambience. I forgot to take a picture of my tacos at the beginning since I was so ready to eat them.

Delicious birria tacos! We stopped for lunch and I ordered:…read more1. birria taco: perfect- I suggest ordering it with all toppings. If you are sensitive to spice, be sure to OMIT CHILIES! 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.

They seemed so promising and I wanted to love them but they just didn't hit the mark for me. I felt like the meat was overpowered by all the toppings. I really didn't taste the meat. They're supposed to compliment each other and mix well but hmm not these. Staff was nice and quick with the food, they had tables and benches covered so you're not in the sun and it was a really clean outdoor spot. Maybe I'll give them another shot and try something different

What we ordered: * Breakfast Burrito * Burrito De Hielera - Machaca Con Huevo * Burrito De Hielera- Bistec Ranchero Service was just as amazing. They have so many options.

I ordered two burritos de hielera, one with chicken mole and the other with a chile relleno and rice. Both burritos were great. The mole was delicious and the chicken was tender. I liked that they included Mexican orange savory rice in the burrito. The chile relleno burrito was most excellent. The flavor was there and the the stuffed pepper came with a tasty white cheese. The chile was lightly battered, was tender, and tasted great. It had no heat level. The flour tortillas are locally sourced and the corn tortillas are made in house. They offer a very good salsa bar with house pickled red onions. The hospitality was very good. Everyone in the restaurant were very nice and had a good sense of humor. I really like visiting places like this. They offer free parking in front and there's only inside seating available.

The music and vibes of the restaurant was perfect for a well spent taco Tuesday!!

Chula Tacos will still always be my favorite spot for adobada tacos, but I was a little…read moredisappointed with this location. The location itself is great, and the service and seating are all big pluses. It's more spacious, less crowded, and there are usually more open tables, which I really liked. I also noticed (though I didn't ask to confirm) that they seem to take drive-through orders, which is super convenient. That said, the adobada tacos and vampiros didn't taste the same as the original location, and the food was a little cold when I got it. They do use a bit less meat, but I think the main reason it didn't taste the same was because it was cold. Because of that, I'll probably stick to the original spot for my adobada fix, but don't dismiss this location! The cebada drink and the oil salsa were still just as good as ever. I can really only vouch for the adobada tacos and vampiros since those are my go-tos. I personally don't care much for the kekas or asada tacos, but that's just me! I'd still recommend trying them for yourself. The asada is good if you add a little salt and eat it hot right away, but it's not something I usually order. I tried it again a long time ago, and it just didn't stick for me.

Personal opinion* We went on a chase for "the best rolled…read moretacos in SD" I hate to say this but we were really underwhelmed. Def not the best in SD. The only thing we liked was the texture, crunch and the amount of meat that was inside of the rolled tacos. The meat didn't have much flavor though. The toppings were just not it. The sour cream was actual thick sour cream that was overly loaded on top. Consistency like Daisy sour cream. I was expecting a crema kind of sour cream like the other taco shops. Guac was really bland. I don't even think they add salt. We even ate them right away because we were so excited. Whoever said these are the best, haven't had GOOD rolled tacos. Please stop gassing these up. Influencing people to drive super far for mediocre food. The burrito was ok, meat was not seasoned and there was lettuce inside (which was a first for me). Nothing we ate WOW'd us. I would say, honest opinion...I won't trust influencers who say this place is the best. There are way better places with more bang for your buck. Our experience wasn't great unfortunately. We traveled a half hour. There was a homeless man screaming from the top of his lungs in the parking lot and 5 cop cars across the street. It's a little too active for my family and I. The only thing we liked, was they were generous with the salsa, which was appreciated. They do give you salt packets, (which is also a first) so I'm assuming they know their food is bland. This will be a last for us.

Tacos El Vaquero Taco truck in downtown Chula Vista has some of the best tacos in all of San Diego…read more They are so good that we used their catering service for my daughter's wedding at our home, last month. They actually served out of the truck parked in our driveway. It was a very cool experience. They served carne asada, adobada, chicken, soy chorizo tacos and quesadillas. They were all delicious but my favorite is the carne asada. We had unlimited taco service, however they were very well served and a good size. In addition, they had other sides like salsas, beans, nopales, onions, grilled Chiles and aguas frescas among others. They served from truck but they also set up a grilled area where they were also serving tacos. Our guests had two lines to order from, which was great because we had over 100 guests. At the end of the service they left the rest of meats and sides all set up and very clean. They were super friendly with a great attitude. The whole experience was very positive and professional. Would use their service again.
