EAT HERE!!! My Lyft driver told me about this place. A little research confirmed it is legit. The food…OMG! It’s a little intimidating at first, but the super helpful security guard/host explained. And all the cooks were patient with newbies. The spicy pork taco is their famous dish - and it was good! I also had the steak and the chorizo tacos - excellent. If it looks like there is a line, it moves fast. I might not ever be able to eat another taco. SO GOOD!!! I ordered mine to go so I could go back to my hotel room and drink wine and watch basketball. The food traveled well and was still delicious.
Very busy and popular spot. The line wraps around the corner. There is a lot of seating upstairs but because it’s so crowded, you have to cut through the line to go up the stairs. The food is good, nothing out of the ordinary. I think the Taco Stand has better quality meats but it’s not as trendy as this place. Overall, go for the experience but know there is better without the massive lines or long waits. The prices here are reasonable though. Three (3) Azada Tacos plus a can Coke for about $17.00 (June 2026).
This was my first meal when first visiting San Diego - and it set the bar for what a proper Tijuana style taco should be. I started with a few tacos and went back in to try a Mulas. All perfection! Absolutely amazing across the board, but the Adobada is a solid winner. Their creamy ORANGE drink is also amazing. Just like a melted orange cream float. I learned they have a Las Vegas location where I am from, they are for SURE on my rotation now.
Super busy spot with a line out the door, and everything was well organized and moved quickly. The tacos were amazing, especially the carne asada, some of the best I’ve had. Plenty of seating and great options. We found this place on TikTok and were told to go by many locals, and it did not disappoint. Visiting from Indiana and would definitely come back! 🌮
MUST GO AND EAT!!!!!!!! These tacos are the most authentic and genuinely tastiest you can get it. The service is very friendly and easy by lining up at the stations for each different type of meat or fries. I recommend the tacos de ADOBADA (spicy pork) you must try this one. Be prepared to keep going back and getting more, they are that good
