    Crunchy Chicken Taco.
    Eric H.

    A solid offering for Valerie's Taco Shop. I came in for a small, quick bite before my drive back to LA. I ordered two crunchy tacos, (1 chicken, 1 beef). Both tacos were tasty and the shells didn't break on first bite. I also liked how the tacos were not overloaded with lettuce or cheese. The beef seemed to have a little bit more flavor than the chicken, but both were good. The salsa bar has 6 or so varieties and the self-served soda fountain is convenient. The service is kind and the dining room is clean and comfortable. I will definitely eat here again. Valerie's Taco Shop is A'OK!

    My husband and I were on the hunt for some tacos while in Oceanside, and boy, are we glad we stumbled upon Valerie's Taco Shop. This place looks humble from the outside, but inside, it's a pretty inviting, open space, adorned with cute little signs and a big screen showcasing a slideshow of pictures of the various items you can order. It's perfect for a quick and casual meal. I've eaten a lot of Mexican food, but I can confidently say that this place is above average. Everything was flavorful, from the rice and beans to the enchilada and hard shell taco. They even let us swap our cheese enchilada for a chicken one, and let me tell you, that was a decision I do not regret. I'm already looking forward to our next visit!! Don't miss out on this hidden gem!

    Improve? Not much to work with. We never got the food we had ordered. Then they stonewalled the Citi investigation. Pitiful.

    Based on recommendations and tried it and food was very good server was great that night he served…read moreand waited all on his own and did it with a smile and was very gracious Try the Baja fish tacos

    Came in for an early dinner and to try this place out. Have heard many things via social media…read more For starters, we got complimentary chips & salsa. The salsa was good IMO, though the rest of the table thought it was too spicy. For drinks we chose a Mexican Candy ($15) and Hibiscus Margarita ($14). They were okay. I think not really worth the price (barely any buzz). I'll probably stick with a beer next time but that's okay. For food, we ordered the Chile Relleno & Cheese Enchilada ($20), Queso Birria Taco Plate ($18) and for me, the Fajita Mixta ($26). Everyone liked their food. For me, I've had better fajitas elsewhere (Mariscos Hualtulco is my fav) but these were still good (except no green bell pepper for some reason). I noticed the *new* menu price for the fajitas was $29 (Mixta), but on the bill it was still $26 (old menu price). So be aware, the new price is coming obviously. I want to try the Molcajete but $38 is a stretch! Atmosphere was okay. It was a Saturday and although it was early, I expected a more vibrant feel, but maybe that comes later in the night. There was plenty of seating. Parking was okay, but the lot was oddly packed however even though the restaurant was not. I would come back to try something else on the menu, but with so many great Mexican options in our area, they need that extra something to attract more patrons. A happy hour with $10 margs for starters would be nice.

    Their meat is not just flavorful, but it's so tender! Generous with the guac, and their hot sauce…read moreselection has really great flavors and kick! Especially this one green sauce Their veggie taco has grilled mixed veggies that were not over cooked or dry. I enjoyed how they took care of the veggies with the same amount of care with the meat. Flavored nicely and cooked well! Place has a dog friendly patio and can get packed. Service is also pretty decent!

    This place is great!…read more Wife and I came out on a date night to this local spot we've been trying to come to for months. It was on a Friday night, the place was packed, and difficult to find a spot to park. The line to order was almost out the door, but still fast to get through, and we were quick to choose what we wanted before struggling to find a spot to sit and talk. After about 15 minutes, our order was ready and we got to enjoy our food. We started with the Carne Asada Nachos, Refried Beans on the side. The meat was flavorful, very tender, and plentiful atop a pile of crisp and fresh tortilla chips. The cheese was nice and salty and the sour cream was warm to the point where it drizzled over it all nicely. All in all, it was a very tasty start to the night. The only two issues I had with it were that the guac was a bit overly pureed, making it kind of runny. And the refried beans had a very sour flavor, making me think that they were over the edge of going spoiled. I had to thank my wife's aversion to eating beans, helping us avoid having them spooned on top, which would have ruined this course. I also had an Al Pastor Taco, Craft Coast Style. The whole it was crisped up well, the cheese forming a great crust on the inside of the taco. The meat was sweetly marinaded, flavorful and delicious. On top of it was a good amount of beans, onions, cilantro, and guacamole, making for a good sized taco without any overflowing. It was pretty damn tasty. So, our first trip out here had more highs than lows, resulting in a very positive initial dinner. I'm sure those beans were just a one-off, at least I hope they were. And there's still hope that the guac may have had too much lime or had been overly mixed this time around. A second trip is definitely in the cards, with more of the family to expand what comes to the table.
