I finally tried Tres Hermanos Locos Tacos and honestly... this might be the best taco shop I've ever been to. I ordered the California burrito and it was unreal. The carne asada was perfectly cooked--super flavorful, tender, and you can tell they actually marinate their own meat. That alone sets them apart. The fries inside were still crispy (which almost never happens), and everything was balanced perfectly--not overly greasy, just straight quality. You can really taste the difference here. Fresh ingredients, solid portions, and attention to detail in every bite. The staff was also super friendly and the service was quick, even when it was busy. If you're anywhere near Lakeside, this spot is 100% worth it. Easily one of the best California burritos I've had--I'll definitely be coming back. read more

I was pleasantly surprised with the breakfast I had from this new Mexican eatery in Lakeside, CA. The best part, it is really owned by three local brothers raised in Lakeside, a suburb of San Diego, CA, They offer a variety of breakfast items, including chilaquiles, breakfast burritos, and breakfast tacos, which I ordered. In fact, I ordered two chorizo and eggs breakfast tacos at $5 a piece. The chorizo was of the pork variety and was quite good. The tacos came with savory chorizo mixed with eggs, shredded Jack Cheese, red onions, and a garnish of cilantro and cotija cheese. They were delicious to eat. I really liked the way they prepared the corn tortillas on the hot griddle. They added a little bit of the juice coming from the cooking of the chorizo to the tortilla while on the hot griddle. As a result, the tortillas had a great color and added texture. Nice call. The place offers bar like seating along the walls and window. They plan to extend the restaurant to the building next time in the future to offer sit down seating and beer and wine. The service was super friendly and welcoming. Oh yes, I forgot to mention! Do try their carne asada. I was given a taster and it's fantastic. They use inside skirt steak also known as arrachera in Spanish, and it's prepared on an open flame. It has a great charring flavor from the grill and is not only super tender but tasty as well. The meat is offered in a lot of their items on the menu. read more

3 Brothers Crazy tacos have the best food! Menudo, tacos, and more! Friendly staff and good service.

THESE GUYS ARE LEGIT AF! Their ingredients are so fresh it's nice to see a taco spot that takes their craft seriously. I haven't had guacamole that tastes this good in a long time. If you're coming here for the first time, I HIGHLY recommend the smoked tri-tip burrito, the flavor profiles are absolutely out of this world, hands down the best burrito I've ever eaten, kid you not! You will not be disappointed checking this place out! read more

Food is excellent!!! I will definitely go back. I don't eat much Mexican food but this place is amazing!

It pains me to say it, but the cooks do not pay attention to the tickets and whoever packs the food doesn't check it. The cashiers are super friendly, and my husband and I have ordered 3 times now to be able to say only once have they gotten our order right. The other two times there have been missing ingredients or requests not followed. The first time we ordered carne asada fries and chilaquiles, the chilaquiles were missing the pickled onion that is listed on the menu item and was specifically requested (pregnancy cravings). The second time I ordered pollo asado chips with beans, no problems or complaints. The third time we ordered carne asada chips with cheese/sour cream on side and a taco with no cheese, the chips did have the cheese on the side AND in the chips...and the taco had cheese on it too. It sucks because the quality of the food is amazing! But it's too discouraging to order when they don't pay attention to detail. We may not return. read more

Great food, this is my second time there. Fast service, clean establishment, and very convenient. I would highly recommend read more

I don't recommend this restaurant. The food arrived cold and appeared to use low-quality meat. Service was poor.

Monday night special was the Carnitas plate for $13......soooo good I haven't had Carnitas like this in a long time. Beans were very good and rice was not bad either. The service was great, very nice people. Im sure I'll be coming back!! read more

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!! The service is great and everyone is so nice. They accommodate any changes, and the food is 1000/10. I've been here 4 times in the last week because of the great quality, great portions, and great taste. The ambience is a classic taco shop, which is nice to see. My family and I are huge fans. read more

Awesome place ! The brothers all work together and the food is top tier. There hot sauce is the best. The service was better.

I'm not an owner, nor an employee just a customer who was fortunate enough to listen to several of our neighbors and have become another one of your customers. That said, you folks have the absolute best Mexican food I have ever eaten, and I've been around for more than 84 years. Unique and outstanding with great preparation My wife and I recommend Tres Hermanos to everyone with the absolute confidence they will love your food as much as we do.

We tried this place a few nights ago. We ordered rolled tacos, a combo plate with rolled tacos, rice and beans, an adobada burrito, carne asada street tacos and cheese quesadilla. The cheese quesadilla was the only thing we all liked, it was very tasty. The rolled tacos tasted like they were fried in rancid oil, and there was very little guacamole on them. The adobada burrito was cold and meat chewy. The carne asada was chewy and tasted like there was no seasoning whatsoever on it. The rice tasted like the ones you buy at Costco that come in plastic bags. Sorry to say we will not go back. It's too bad. read more

A lot of mixed reviews, therefore I decided to give it a try to form my own opinion. Unfortunately, the bad reviews were very spot on. I am not sure why there is a review stating it's the best in east county. I personally would say it could possibly be at the very bottom. The chicken, carne asada, guac and shrimp all had no flavor. The "spiciest" sauce they had did not taste like anything. The chicken was a bit burnt and looked like carne asada. On top of it, the surf and turf fries stated they went with sour cream and no sour cream was added. They left the sour cream out and added rice to it. I personally will not be ordering food here again. I really wanted to love it since I live closest to this spot than I do to others. Very disappointing food. read more

It's a 1 star place cheese not melted who eats a cold bean n cheese diabolical our tacos has no meat in it its was all guac and cilantro and onion, Customer service is bad 1of the brothers offered a remake from the shop and wrote my name down day of next day another brother said there policy is no remakes for any ordered even if messed up I called back after I posted this review and the brother was gonna make it right and write down my name for a remake I called today 11/22/2025 just the next day later ask for my order to be re made and the other brother offered a 10% off when I had already got that previously because I'm military do it was very disrespectful and they rather take a review than make it right so I want to share this listen if u order here make sure you specify detailed how u want ur food if you need your cheese melted tell them they had a new cook who was just learning how to cook and make the food ‍ read more

We just visited recently and, unfortunately, the food was really disappointing. We ordered the carnitas, carne asada, and chicken street tacos. The guacamole was dark brown, the meats lacked seasoning, and the carnitas weren't shredded--just large, fatty chunks. Couldn't even finish the chicken and carnitas tacos because the taste was awful. The rice tasted like it had been sitting in the fridge--dry and very hard. We spent $40 and sadly won't be returning. We decided to try this place based on the great reviews, so it was a real letdown. read more

Best taco shop around! Fresh food cooked to order. Was over all the local places tasting the same and having nothing standing out about them. This one does, tri tip burrito is so good. read more

Great food and service from here every time. Eddie U, go try your eat for free some where else.

Friendly greeting and help from the cashier was almost the only good thing about this place. There was an unpleasant smell upon entry but didn't have time to drive home to eat our dinner, so we ate it at the hi-top counter/shelf. My carnitas plate was dripping with grease, unseasoned and the amount of meat was probably equal to 1 1/2 street tacos. The rice had overcooked dry clumps in it but the beans were good. The price of my carnitas plate was not appropriate for what I received. My wife's 3 street tacos were a good value for the price. We wanted to support local but I cannot give a good review when it's not earned. I hope they can get this turned around. read more

Very disappointed with my order, carne asada was not well cooked. I was very hungry but unfortunately I had to throw a big portion away.

I was pleasantly surprised at how good the Cole's bowl was it's not on the menu yet but I heard from a friend to try it out. It is a perfect mix of protein and vegetables and beans and rice. You can tell that it's relatively new which is always great because it's a super nice atmosphere. The staff were also very helpful, I will definitely be coming again. read more

The food was ice cold by the time we got home which was 7 minutes away. They also forgot to include the quesadilla we ordered

great food best spot in lakeside ....,, great people great service best prices in town.
