It was impossible to enjoy the tacos during our visit today 2/15. This was our second time giving them a chance. On our first visit we had tortas, but they lacked flavor and seemed like a taco put into bread. I don't know what was going on today, but the smell of cleaning products was so strong it started to make my mouth burn while I tried to eat. I could still feel it on the way home. Our party of 7 moved around at least 3 times to try and find a table where the chemicals didn't feel so strong. The kids could be seen covering their noses and remarking on the smell. We tried to eat, but left without finishing. We mentioned it to the staff and they had nothing to say. Not even an apology. Fue imposible disfrutar de los tacos durante nuestra visita de hoy, 15/2. Era la segunda vez que les damos una oportunidad. En nuestra primera visita pedimos tortas, pero les faltaba sabor y parecían un taco pero puesto dentre pan. No sé qué pasaba hoy, pero el olor a productos de limpieza era tan fuerte que empezó a arderme la boca al intentar comer. Todavía lo sentía de camino a casa. Nuestro grupo de 7 personas se movió al menos tres veces para intentar encontrar una mesa donde los químicos no se sintieran tan fuertes. Se veía a los niños tapándose la nariz y comentando sobre el olor. Intentamos comer, pero nos fuimos sin terminar. Se lo comentamos al personal y no dijeron nada. Ni siquiera una disculpa.
Wow wow wow. These are some of the best tacos I've ever had. Fresh tortillas and their birria is so flavorful. Don't get me started on their consome, mmmmm. I enjoyed their meats, we tried a little of each. All flavorful and fresh. Their salsas were so good and their spicy one was burning my tongue but I enjoyed it. The staff was very nice. The inside wasn't packed so we were able to grab a table and enjoy our time. It's helpful that they share a parking lot with a grocery store because the street parking wouldn't be sufficient, exorcist if they were busy. I like how they had condiments inside so we can serve ourselves. I'll definitely be coming back for some tacos!
This place has been around for decades. I came as a child the quesadillas are so good and I see some of the same staff is still there since I was a kid. They have a sit Down area and sometimes someone outside singing makes a great vibe. I'm always eating here before I leave Rosarito back home to the U.S. I recommend. Yummm!
One of my fave taco shops in Rosorito. Came by unplanned, was across the street at the grocery store and saw Tacos Manuel. Located on a busy street, you'll see the huge sign. Ordering is a bit confusing but the pastor tacos were pretty tasty. The tacos are street tacos so on the smaller side. Nice and flavorful pork. 3 tacos for about 80 something pesos. You can't really beat the price.
I ordered "consomé con carne" and it was served hot, with tortillas on the side! It was yummy and perfect for this cold weather. The tacos were good too, but our group agreed that los de adobada were the best, and they truly were. Ordering was a bit confusing and my tacos were served wrong, I ordered 2 de harina no cebolla and got 2 regular with cebolla- that's why I did t give the 5 stars! Overall, a good spot to hit up for food when in Rosarito.
Solid 4 stars! Tried this place on our way to Puerto Nuevo and it was good but it left me wanting a little more. As others have mentioned, this place is easy to find and has some street parking that makes it easy to get in and out. Tacos are prepared made to order and sliced fresh from the trumpo (Al Pastor). Since the meat had yet to achieve full caramelization on the spit, the pork was further grilled on the flattop grill. Niiiiice. You will order your food and drinks in advance and then pay after you eat so be sure to remember what you ordered. Carne Asada- So I went with a carne asada quesadilla here and they are large and come in at 65 pesos a pop ($3.75). The quality of ingredients was good however the carne asada was extremely thin and cooked very well done. The meat was mostly tender although I did have to remove a large piece of grissel while chewing. So embarrassing when this happens. I'd definitely order this again though. Adobada- This is what we came for and although it was good, it wasn't great for me. The meat was tender but it was definitely on the wet side. I'm typically used to my Al Pastor being heavily seasoned, charred, and dry in terms of seasoning. While pretty tasty, it didn't blow me away as other Al Pastor has south or even north of the border. I ordered 2 tacos at 22 pesos each ($1.27 a pop) and a quesadilla for 65 pesos. All three were nicely packed with ingredients, the tacos held up better due to the corn tortillas. The additional wetness of the adobada made the quesadilla a bit on the soggy side. Both quesadillas were good but they both left me looking for more cheese. Overall it was a good meal, but with the wealth of taco establishments in the region, I probably wouldn't go out of my way to eat here. Good decent food though so try it if you're in the area.

When in Baja this is a family tradition to feast on when fulfilling our street taco cravings. They are known for their tacos but sell it all. By far with some of the most reasonable prices to the size and portions. I usually start with a tip for the taquero before I order. We indulged in carne asada (6) this time with 1 suadero, 1 cabesa and 1 adobado also known as al pastor The winner most definitely was the carne asada. With the winner, winner being the quesataco asada. They add cilantro, onions, guacamole and your chile of choice. We always opt for the HOTTER option they call the birria chile which is a darker red color. They bring you slices of limes, cucumbers and radishes. Parking is right in front with a security guiding traffic. They are open super late and have two on the main road. We often prefer the one closer to all the night life and action because it's larger. They recently remodeled their bathrooms so they are CLEAN and usable. Yay! read more

The food was fire Cannot go wrong with the staple of Rosarito. All pastor was seasoned beautifully and cooked to perfection. Meat was succulent with that nice slight char. Handmade tortilla adds to the authenticity. Cannot wait to come back and try the other offerings. read more

Best street food in Rosarito. There are 3 locations, but the one off the road by Las Vacas/Jersey Dairy, in front of La Florida is by far the BEST! Been our favorite for over 15 years!!! read more

The food really has no flavor. They have a salt bottle on each table but this was lacking more than just salt. We had al pastor and asada tacos and mulitas. Service is good. But I wouldn't bring anyone here. Our party of 7 didn't enjoy the food. read more
Traveling south of the border and looking for a legit taco spot? Look no further than Tacos Manuel! This place is the real deal. It's hard to say for sure, but I think the Birria tacos are my favorite. The meat is so tender and you can tell it was cooked in the most amazingly delicious broth you've ever had. Coming to a close second if the Al Pastor. I get so excited and do a little dance when I see that meat on the spit all crispy and dripping in juices. Mmmm.... Another top contender is the Suadero. If you've never had it before, GET IT. Trust me on this one. If you're squeemish, don't worry. It's nothing more than the section on a cow or pig in between the belly and the leg. It's smooth (not tough or grainy) and when it gets a good crisp on it, you won't be able to stop eating it. It's actually relatively hard to find, so when I find it, I get it. Service is quick and you can order in or to-go. There's never a shortage of radishes or limes and there's a salt shaker on every table (something I appreciate as a salt addict). I think it's safe to say that this is one of my favorite taco shops in Rosarito! read more
Beeaaachhhh! I'm not a virgen of the taco culture so trust me when I saw I was crying happy tears while eating these dang tacos! Thanks to my girl Missy, she said we have to take you to this place, it's a further drive but worth it. She advised me to get the Suadero taco, yes it was hella tasty. I also got El pastor with everything. You order your tacos with the guy making them and at the end you pay for them at the counter, just telling them how many. I went to sleep real happy. read more

We walked like 3 miles for this restaurant.....and I can say it was no disappointment.. The El Pastor tacos were to die for but you have to ask "con todo" The horchata had nothing special to it...to little horchata mixed in. So nope not good... Also the carne asada tacos were good but not outstanding Place was clean...I just wish they wouldnt allow people from the streets to come and ask for money read more

This was the first place of business for us when getting to Rosarito. The smells were scrumptious. Tacos were magnificent. The taquero was immaculate. I didn't get to meet or speak to Manuel personally, but if I could, I would thank him for his service. Brilliant man that Manuel. read more
