Mexican restaurant
La Guerrerense Carreta is a renowned taco and ceviche bar located in Ensenada, Mexico. The restaurant is known for its delicious seafood dishes and is owned by Sabina Bandera and Eduardo Oviedo. Additionally, they have recently opened Restaurante Sabina nearby, offering the same delightful seafood options. Another recommended spot for seafood enthusiasts is Muelle 3, a small eatery near the Malecon started by celebrity chefs Benito Molina and Solange Muris.
We had been once before and really enjoyed the seafood tostadas here. We were lucky to see the owner there and she was really wonderful and gave her recommendations and even took a picture with us. The seafood was super fresh and very delicious.
Joan L — Google review
The food was pretty good the options great too of the different types of seafood. The service was good too, the guy preparing was cool, cashier a little short with the friendliness. However the taste wasn’t worth the cost and quantity in my opinion. Glad I ate where one of my heroes ate at but that is where it ends. Once is enough.
Jay V — Google review
Street vendor with a bunch of unique tostada such as ones with uni into the mix. Saw a video on this place by Anthony Bourdain, and it was close by the cruise port so it was a goal to try it out. The ceviche was my favorite! The shrimp was so plump and tasted so fresh. For a street vendor in Mexico, it seems kind of pricey, but I didn't have pesos so I was charged $40-$50 for 3 tostada, shrimp ceviche and two watermelon juices. Is that considered pricey. I'm not sure..... The portion sizes were decent.
Deanna L — Google review
There was a long waitlist (about 40min and we didn’t have the time for that as this was a few hour stop for our cruise). We were able to order to go and just ate outside. However when you do to go - they put everything on the side instead of inside the taco shell which was a little annoying since I was eating it right then. You can also get drinks to go. Strawberry marg 10/10 - they put taijin on the rim or something similar. Fish taco 8/10 Shrimp taco 10/10

Famous little ceviche cart! The owner has won multiple awards and was given a shoutout by Anthony Bourdain himself.
Bobby A — Google review
We came here on a tour so I only was able to sample one tostada. It was a mixed seafood tostada, and was the best tostada I’ve ever had. Anthony Bourdain discovered this restaurant many years ago and was so enthusiastic about the owner that he sponsored her in a world taco competition which she won. After sampling one tostada now we know why. It is a must try experience in Ensenada.
Todd P — Google review
My friends and I visited this spot during our port day in Ensenada, and it was the highlight of our trip. We were craving mariscos and had heard rave reviews about this street cart. Let me tell you—it did not disappoint. In fact, it far exceeded our expectations, serving the best ceviche tostadas we’ve ever tasted. At just $9 per tostada, they were generously loaded with incredibly fresh seafood and bold, vibrant flavors. It was so fresh, we even watched the clams being shucked right in front of us! My husband and I tried the (#2) cebiche de erizo con almeja, (#4) campechana, and (#6) almeja con pata de mula, and every bite was perfection. The condiments were impressive too. They had an lineup of hot sauces ranging from mild to fiery, along with saltines that paired beautifully with the spice and acidity of the seafood. We would have happily ordered more, but we were pacing ourselves for a food tour around town. Even my friend, who typically doesn’t enjoy ceviche, rated it a 10/10.

Oscars Mexican Seafood is a popular chain of Mexican seafood restaurants, with its first location opening in Pacific Beach in 2011. Despite being modestly billed as a casual, local shop, it has consistently been listed as one of the best Mexican restaurants in San Diego. The Ensenada-style battered fish taco is a local favorite and even caught the attention of chef Andrew Zimmern.
I thought this place was great. We started with the ceviche which was awesome. They only had shrimp so we tried that. 5/5 I ordered the skirt steak, surf and turf and smoked fish tacos. My fav was the surf and turf. All were good but the surf and turf was exceptional. The smoked fish was unique and good but not something I’d order regularly. 5/5 Atmosphere was counter service with outdoor dining 3/5

A sincerly nice joint for a great bite of seafood. It's lovely food, made with love, with fresh in-house made salsas and agua frescas. I will say due to its popularity and the small size of the actual resteraunt, it *does* get super crowded at peak eating times. But what sets this place apart from other wonderful eateries? Veronica. She's almost always the cashier you speak to at the register to order your meal, and she's a literal angel. She's sweet, kind, and sp patient. She'll call you "sweetie" or "mija/mijo" and she means it. She's happy to tell you all about the menu items, and never skimps on twlling you how *she* likes it (spoiler alert: she's always right, imho). So come to Oscar's for the amazing mariscos (the fisherman's torta is INSANE) but stay for mama Veronica, because she's the heart and soul of this place. ❤️
Nicole A — Google review
Oscar’s is easily one of my favorite spots for Mexican seafood in San Diego. The fish tacos are next-level—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Our favorites are the especial, octopus, battered shrimp, and grilled spicy shrimp taco. Don't forget to use their freshly made sauces in the fridge along with an assortment of other hot sauces. Their fish stew is also surprisingly fresh and savory. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the casual vibe makes it the perfect stop whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or hanging with friends. This location has inside seating and easier parking since it's located in a strip mall. A must stop it you're in the SD area.
Clay W — Google review
Great service. Was given a cup of their seafood stew while we were deciding on what to order. Very hearty seafood stew with a chicken base. The taco especial was particularly great. Surf n tuf, which is usually my go to at taco shops was a little disappointing. I guess it goes to say that they are a seafood establishment and each and every seafood-based dish was fantastic
Joon L — Google review
Great casual Mexican seafood spot. Authentic. Set up is great for take out, but enough tables for around 20. They offered fish soup samples, which had excellent broth and plenty of meat and vegetables. The grilled octopus taco was balanced and substantial. Others in our party enjoyed fried fish and smoked fish tacos.
Douglas M — Google review
Best seafood tacos I ever had outside of Mexico. Staff members were very kind courteous and generous. Go straight for the shrimp or fish or shrimp+fish tacos. Don’t bother with the ceviche, taco was far better. And the horchata drink! That was amazing!
Shams R — Google review
The octopus taco was perfectly cooked and the tuna ceviche was fresh. Update: Revisited and tried the fish/shrimp ceviche. It was zesty and fresh. The only knock is that they didn’t include the extra tostada, but charged me for it

This was the first place I ate at after arriving in San Diego for the first time. The lady behind the counter was so sweet and helpful, as were the other members of the staff. The torta I had didn't hold back in size and taste, and every scoop of the shrimp cerviche was packed with flavour and zest.

Monte Xanic is a 300-acre vineyard located in the Valle de Guadalupe, in the heart of the Bodega region. The winery produces world-class wines, including a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. It is important to note that advance reservations are required, as guards will only open the gate once they've checked that a reservation has been made.
I can’t say enough good things about how memorable and beautiful this place is. The wine tasting where you smell and identify notes was so unique and well executed. It’s $60 a person so definitely pricey but included the full experience, a cheese board, and a short tour. I’m so so glad we came here
Aria S — Google review
Visited Thursday, July 24 – Monte Xanic is a must for wine lovers! We did the Aromas and Flavors experience, which included a beautiful tour of the winery, a fun tasting game where we guessed ingredients by taste and smell, and a delicious cheese board to pair with the wines. The experience was playful, relaxing, and set against the backdrop of stunning vineyard views. Sip local. Support local.
Lisa P — Google review
I never would have imagine a winery like this in the middle of the Mexican dessert. This place has everything and I would dare to say is at par or better than most Napa/Sonoma wineries. The views, the service, the wine, the attention to details, the different games to make the tasting experience better, the tapas, the knowledge of the people, all made for an elevated experience surpassing the best wineries in other regions. We went with the blind wine tasting and the personnel made the whole thing super interesting, fun and educative. I have never seen this in other wineries. And we learned that the winery has other experiences depending on your group. The wine was superb. Their reserve was our favorite. While not cheap, compared to others, it was completely worth it. This is one of those places to visit when visiting Valle.
Manuel N — Google review
Loved the winery. It's a beautiful property and our guide Abril was great. You do need a reservation though. Tried to come here a year ago and was turned away at the gate. This time we had a reservation and tried some very good to great wines, for a tour of the winery, and were able to enjoy time just hanging out there. At the end they let us keep our wine glasses. The Gran Ricardo wine has some hype to it; tried it and it is worth it. Ended up taking a bottle home.

What an incredible place. Monte Xanic was our favorite winery we visited in the area by far. Not only was the wine superb, and the views stunning, but our tour guide / wine tasting “guru” -Sara, really knew her stuff. She truly knew how to describe wine in a way that made us want to buy all of the bottles in the winery. The wine in an of itself though tasted delicious all the way down the line (I think we tried all of the ones on the tasting menu, plus the ones they served by the glass - ha!!) it’s also really cool to note that this winery was truly started by Mexicans for Mexicans which made it feel like a truly “Mexican wine” experience which I think is what we wanted to go for when we came to the area. We highly recommend this winery and we will definitely be back. Thanks Sara for being the perfect guide! Next time we come back, I hope you’re managing the place!! 😊

I’m honestly very surprised at this restaurant! The food is really good! The drinks are very yummy and they have a little bit of everything if you’re into sweet drinks or more bitter, you will be able to find something on the menu. The place is really big and spacious. It gets very very hot in there though 😓 so if you run hot make sure to bring layers.

Beers were great. The food was good as well. We had the burger and salmon. Our service was amazing as well. The only thing I woild say is it looked more like a restaurant then a brewery.

Nestled charmingly along the marina, Mitch's Seafood is a delightful seafood haven that showcases the best of locally caught fish. Established in 2008 by three families with deep roots in fishing around Point Loma, this eatery prides itself on serving fresh seafood sourced primarily from the bountiful waters off San Diego and Northern Baja. With a focus on simple yet flavorful California-style dishes, guests can enjoy an array of options paired perfectly with local craft beers and wines.
Had a great lunch here while in SD. Might be our new go to place as the food was excellent and service relatively quick despite being busy. Seating is limited both inside and outside but worth the wait if necessary. Reasonable prices, great selections and a variety of beverages as well.

When we arrived there was no parking. We had to park down the street. There was a line outside of the restaurant. You wait in line to order, and then you can sit down. I liked that you couldn’t sit without a number. We ordered the crab cakes and that was probably our favorite item from dinner. My husband ordered the sea bass sandwich. The fish was sparse for such a big sandwich we made just one sandwich with it. There wasn’t really anything amazing about the flavor and the fish was rather dry. I ordered the cheeseburger and there wasn’t no flavor. Luckily I added bacon because that added some flavor.
Sam C — Google review
Food was okay but most was kind of greasy. Service was fast as can be expected considering how crowded it was. They have a decent selection of food and drinks. Seating is very limited. Overall, I don't think it's worth returning to eat there unless w can find a time that isn't as busy. Mostly due the restaurant size not being able to handle the crowds. That issue alone makes it overrated. They seem to be a victim of their own success. There's both and table seating as well as inside and outside bar style seating. The location is okay if you're into looking at a marina. Parking was atrocious.

My mom amd I decided to come try Mitch's. The Spiney Lobster was very good. Mom had the Fried Combo. She was not really liking the Crab Cake (we are from the East Coast and she is a snob about Blue Crab Lump Crab Cakes). We were told that the fish was cooked with a Panko Crust not Beer Batter. However, she LOVED the shrimp!! And apparently, so do the seagulls! Hahaha! We were seated outside facing the Harbor and 2 swooped down and 1 grabbed the shrimp right out of mom's hand! She smacked it! But he got away with the goods! LOL! One of the guys that worked there saw what happened and brought over the stickers along with a replacement shrimp (which was super nice of them). We will be back!! The staff was awesome, kind and attentive! I recommend!

One of the only places I’ll go to for seafood! Everything is fresh, and it’s all reasonably priced. This is the place to go if you just want good seafood and a serene view without the frills of an overpriced dine-in experience. If you sit on the deck, be prepared to defend your plate. Seagulls are ruthless but the view is so relaxing and I promise your food won’t last long on your plate anyway. I love the grilled shrimp skewers and I never leave without one kind of fish taco and a golden fried fillet. Fry basket shrimp are yuge. Also Matt who works there is rad!

Casual spot with good quality and nice views. - Crab cakes 5/5 - these really stood out and were perfectly cooked - Fish tacos (grilled and fried) 4/5 - these were great but don’t necessarily stand out in San Diego. - Calamari 3/5 - lacked seasoning and didn’t care for the dipping sauce but was of good quality - Grilled rockfish 3/5 - cooked nicely and was high quality but also lacked seasoning and the herb verde was lackluster. Coleslaw was nice however.

Hodad's Downtown is a popular spot in San Diego known for its oversized, messy burgers with a variety of toppings and sides like shakes and onion rings. The restaurant has gained fame after being featured on The Food Network's Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. Its California-themed decor features skateboards, surfboards, and license plates adorning the walls. With a humorous touch to its branding, Hodad's offers generously portioned burgers that are described as more like doubles than singles.
My favorite Burger place All Time. We've been away for 3 years now. I had to come here and have a Burger during our San Diego vacation. I had the Blue Jay Burger; bacon cheeseburger with Blue cheese sauce and grilled onions. So Tasty. My wife had the Chicken Burger Fried with Crispy Bacon. It was very delicious. I always recommend this restaurant. The staff is Awesome and super Cool. The place has a Down to Earth San Diego Vibe.

I’ve been eating at Hodad’s for years, whenever I visit San Diego. I still believe that this is the best burger you can get in SD. You can taste the freshness and tenderness in the beef and vegetables to a whole other level. The atmosphere can be polarizing but I’m a huge fan of the plastered stickers and license plates everywhere. The service every time has been wonderful, too. It’s a great spot. That being said… they are just getting way too expensive. $21 for a double burger with no sides or a drink, is a bit much. There is a service charge of 3%, but then you are also expected to leave a tip. I don’t get that part at all. I get that these days prices are high, but so is the competition, and for $20+ my burger should at least have a side order and a small soft drink. I don’t remember them being this expensive in the past. Overall, amazing food and great service/atmosphere, so they deserve the 5 stars, but the menu prices and additional service fees are far too high. As much as I love the food, I probably won’t be returning until these prices are figured out.

Stopped in while visiting the area to get a burger and I'm glad that I did. I ordered a single patty bacon cheese burger which was more than enough for me along with onion rings. Both items were delicious and the service was great. If you're looking for a good burger you can't go wrong with this spot.

I arrived for a pretty late lunch since I was in the area for a conference and have been meaning to try out Hodads. I came around 3 PM on a Monday and there was no one else in the shop but me which meant I got super quick service. I opted for the single cheeseburger with onion rings and a Dr. Pepper. The burger was pretty good and the onion rings were amazing. It was definitely worth the 20 minute walk that it took to get there. I'd go back in the future just for the onion rings alone! The best part is that they give you 2 stickers at the end of your meal! I'm pretty sure you're supposed to stick the stickers on the walls of the establishment somewhere but I wanted to take mine.

Rockin' Baja Lobster in Gaslamp is a lively seafood-centric Mexican restaurant with a festive atmosphere and an outdoor patio. Inspired by the lobster village of Puerto Nuevo in Baja California, the decor reflects traditional Puerto Nuevo style. The menu offers delicious and affordable Mexican seafood dishes, including sizzling garlic shrimp and unique bites like Mexican Street Corn and Chili Lime Fries. Located in Old Town, the restaurant exudes an amazing vibe both inside and out.
First time at the new location of Rockin’ Baja. Better location, great setup, food was good but the staff and service was awesome. We saddled up at the bar and had some good banter with the bartender working there. Super close to the convention center - located in the heart of the Gaslamp Quarter.

This was our first time coming the Gaslamp location and was a little under impressed compared to their other locations.

We visited Rockin’ Baja Lobster during Comic-Con weekend, so we expected it to be busy but unfortunately, the service was disappointing overall. Shoutout to Diana, who was a great server! She was attentive, helped us correct an issue with our order, and really tried to make our experience better. We appreciated her effort. However, another server (the blonde one) who previously took our order, was not as friendly. She gave my friend a bad look when he politely followed up on his food, and when I asked her for a sauce, she said “yeah” but never came back with it. On top of that, my friend never received the extra chips he ordered, even after asking about them. The service felt very slow and disorganized. We understand it was a busy weekend, but it seemed like we were forgotten for long stretches of time. While others got priority. That said, the food was really good. Great flavors, fresh ingredients, and generous portions it definitely lived up to the hype in that department.

I got the Shellfish Taco Platter (one of each - shrimp, blue crab, and lobster) and a Cadillac Margarita. Really enjoyed each taco but the lobster was my favorite! I also shared photos of menu items I wanted to try like the Cali Surf & Turf Burrito and just check out the biiiiiig burrito and the 6XXL tacos!!!! Great food, service, and got to watch the Dodgers vs Padres. No complaints! Would definitely visit again next time I am in the area. Our waiter on June 16, Scotty, was so kind and patient as well 🤗

The wife and I love this restaurant chain, but this is their newest location, and the servers are subpar, and the food is not on par with their other locations. Luke the bartender, who helped us, was actually stellar; the rest were in some sort of daze, leaving 30 minutes between main courses for my guests. In other words, the main course would come for one person, then 30 minutes later for the next person. The place wasn’t empty, but there were only a few of us in there. The steak was like a shoe, the chicken was dry, in the $80 bucket they messed up the corn; it was supposed to be Mexican style, not just grilled. The lobster was super fishy, but maybe it was an off day for them? The other locations are incredible; this one just needs some attention from management to get it on par with the others. Kudos to Luke though, he’s great.

We ordered the Baja bucket which came with two lobster tails crab shrimp chicken carne asada and corn on the cob. It also came with tortillas and rice and beans. LOTS OF FOOD!! It was all amazing however The crab was lacking some serious meat and maybe overcooked. (Maybe it's not crab season?) This meal also comes with fried ice cream. We ordered a beer and a spicy skinny margarita both were delicious. The service was on top of their game lots of TVs for sports and a full wet bar with numerous beers on tap. They also have a full margarita menu. I would definitely come back and give it a try again. Total for two including tip was $150.00

Tacos El Yaqui is a popular spot in Rosarito, known for its wood-grilled carne asada tacos served on flour tortillas with cheese, beans, salsa, cilantro, onions, and guacamole. The establishment has gained recognition from #TasteAtlas as one of the best taco places in the world.
This restaurant has had a crazy evolution in the past 20 years. I went here for the first time in 2004 when I was just 14 years old and these tacos have stuck with me my whole life. I have never been able to find a perrone or taco of this quality, not even in AZ. Let me be clear. These tacos are the best in the world and you will never find an equal. (Cope Americans). If you're in the Rosarito area or even in Baja California Norte, I would recommend visiting Yaquis every day.

There’s a lot of local hype about this place. I’ll say that the food quality lived up to the expectation, but the service is lacking. They have a method to maintain a long line of people waiting. The preparation area moves very slow to maintain a steady line, giving the illusion that they are overly popular. The truth is there is ample seating available, the long line and wait time is due to the staff intentionally moving slow. I can’t say that I’ll wait in line for 45 minutes again for what I’d say is just good, not overly great or fantastic food. I’d stop by again if there’s no wait, but if I see a line like I did today, I’d rather go elsewhere. Kind of a let down.

They do one thing and they do it RIGHT: carne asada. Tacos El Yaqui has the recipe down and has some of the best tacos I've ever had in my life. Is the wait long? Yes. Is it worth it? Yes. The staff is friendly too, we even made a friend with the wonderful gentleman behind the grill. The tacos are pretty loaded, so I'd recommend 2. But 3's a party.

Great lunch spot in town. Loved the fish tacos and highly recommend it - fresh, juicy and melts in the mouth. The shrimp one was also super good.

Pokez Mexican Restaurant is a popular spot in downtown San Diego, serving up classic Mexican dishes with a twist. Whether you're craving tacos, enchiladas, or all-day breakfast items, this place has something for everyone. What sets Pokez apart is its focus on vegetarian and vegan options. From the best vegan and vegetarian California burritos to veggie tortas and tofu tostadas, there's no shortage of flavorful choices.
I ordered tofu, potato, mushroom enchiladas. I wish I had added vegan cheese because I think it would have melted nicely into the sauce and been a good addition. The food came out so fast and the employees were helpful and welcoming! I love the decor. Trinkets! I’ll stop by again next time I visit!

California Burrito Hunt – Stop #25 I am on a mission to find the best California Burrito in town. Today’s stop is Pokez Mexican Restaurant. The Burrito: The biggest strength of this burrito is the fresh ingredients, and you can really taste it. The grilled meat is flavorful, and the avocado with the sour cream sauce adds nice variety to each bite. They also add cabbage, which gives the dish and its flavor a unique twist. The potatoes, however, became a bit watery from the heat. If the potatoes had been crispy and the meat slightly more flavorful, this could easily be the best burrito in the city. They also make their own sauces here, which taste great and clearly come from fresh products — nothing old or stale. Price is $15 plus tax, which is slightly above the city average. Score: 7 out of 10 Service: The man who helped me clearly did not want to interact. I would not call it rude, but it was definitely harsh and unwelcoming. Score: 1 out of 10 Atmosphere: You can tell they have put effort into creating a certain atmosphere. The place is old, filled with vintage things, and there is so much to take in. I cannot even describe it all — you have to see the photos. Despite the age of the decor, the place is clean, which works surprisingly well with the antique feel. Score: 7 out of 10

We tried a mahi mahi taco, a shrimp taco, chicken quesadilla and a carne asada torta. Everything was good, I especially enjoyed the mahi mahi taco.

Thanks to the staff recommendation, I ordered the "Toms Deep Plate" with tofu potato mushroom. It was absolutely stellar. Completely vegan. So delicious. Perhaps too much food for a single sitting, but completely fair prices. Having grown up in SoCal, eating authentic "California Mexican" is a must on any visit back to this state. This restaurant hit the spot. I am so grateful! Great plate for vegans, vegetarians, and omnivores alike. Plenty of options for all.

Its nice to have a place with a variety of vegetarian tacos that werent just cactus or beans and cheese. We got the city zuchini and chili relleno. Each had a good mixture of veggies and sauce pairings. The tortias were a nice stretchy which was good considering the amount of filling would have ripped straight through a corn tortia. They had a sauce bar that was pretty good but the mango sauce was more of a syrup than a sauce. On its own it was too much but in the taco it worked. Overall a good spot.

Los Claros Marina is a popular taco spot with three locations in Baja California Sur. One of the branches is located in downtown San Jose del Cabo, making it a convenient stop for tourists exploring the historic Spanish Colonial town. Known for its delicious mariscos tacos, this eatery comes highly recommended by locals and visitors alike. The restaurant's central location between downtown and the beach makes it an ideal choice for a quick and satisfying meal while exploring the area.
Don't come if you are not hungry! The food is amazing and so is the service that you get with Manuel, very sweet and kind man. Try the smoked marlin tacos they are amazing and the rest are super delicious as well. Also have a cold michelada with some fresh oysters. This is the only food you need when in cabo. It is a small walk from the port where carnival anchors down but it is worth it for the food and all of the photo opportunities along the way. Plus they are open early, we got off the ship at 8 and they were already open.

Given we had pretty awesome tacos, these were towards a 3.5 range. We paid Marina/hotel prices. The guava cheesecake had a bit of salt to it and was a bit mushy.

We just wanted a small bite to eat before we went out for dinner. Thought we would give this teeny-tiny corner spot a try since staff had been flagging us down to come over for couple days now. We stayed at Tesoro resort, so basically, why not … right? Omg… The Paloma drinks were the bomb! Los Claros definitely had bragging rights there. Props to the bartender on Thur 2/20/25 630pm. And, since we all love seafood, we thought fish tacos would be the perfect bite. Well, unlike their Paloma drinks, fish tacos were nothing worth to brag about. Our fish taco plates were served with one tortilla, and two fish strips/pieces. I’m guessing, they truly are representing small bites. Not very generous in size (comparing to what I’m use to in Rosarito and Ensenada). Fish tacos presentation was plain, but a trio-tray of condiments were offered on the side to spruce up our tacos. Of course, to our liking. We had to ask for another tray as the cabbage had been immediately consumed by one person already. Again, not so generous with portioning. The server was not at all attentive/active but was sweet and timid. Could be a language barrier or simply shy. I always say, though, anyone in the “serving” industry, there is absolutely no room to be shy about. It’s all about connections with your customers. I was not a fan of Los Claros fish tacos. It lacked, crisp and crunch, as if missing the batter the fish was suppose to be dipped in. If anything, the fish itself was soggy and floppy. Mash potato like. It lacked “meat” and firmness. Hence, small portioned. After spicing up my tacos though, it came to life, but only in the taste department. Would I try Los Claros fish tacos again? Yes. Hopefully, the next time, their fish taco dish will be new and improved… crispy and crunchy batter, firm and generous portioned fish. Los Claros, let’s make it happen.

We checked to be sure we could be accommodated in a certain time frame because we had plans. The waiter said no problem.

We ordered fish tacos & they were served with no sauce, no lime, no cabbage. when we went to leave, they said we couldn’t pay with card because their system was down.

We asked the local dive shop where to have tacos and they recommended this place. The servers were attentive and wonderful. My only complaint would be that the menu was a bit sparse in terms of description of items so when they came they were different than we had pictured in our heads (marlin tacos specifically) and in retrospect we could have asked more questions. Nice to get off the main drag of the marina and feel a bit more secluded and authentic. Overall great experience!

This place is trash y basura. The atmosphere was very loud and unpleasant and it took forever to get our food. All we ordered was a couple tacos and the Mexican combo dinner, and it took over an hour to get our food. Our waiter was doing tequila shots with his other customers, maybe that explains the extreme long wait time. When we finally got our food, it was total trash. I don't know how this place has the audacity to say they have the best tacos in Cabo. The flank steak fillet from the Mexican dinner felt like chewing on uncooked bacon. The tacos sucked and the meat felt undercooked. The fries we ordered felt like eating wet raw potatoes that danced in greese. All this food was way overpriced, especially for the quality recieved. Then they said we couldn't pay with card because there system was down. After exhausting all of our patience they reseted the scanner and it worked.

Exactly what you want!! A simple shop specializing in delicious fried seafood tacos! Go up to the cashier and order what you want, pay, they will give you a ticket. Go stand in line for the guy making the food. He will take your ticket and hand you your food there. The tacos are huge portions, I could barely eat two!! But they were delicious and the sauces provided were great as well. Cash only I believe.

We visited La Paz for a couple of days and we were looking for authentic Mexican food and found this place. Let me just say that the food was amazing! I wish we had time to come back to try other stuff, but time ran out. Fish tacos were amazing and so are the aguas frescas! Definitely recommend this place 👌

This place is one of the most popular with the locals. Everyone talks about it and the lineup lets you know they do food right and they are reasonable prices. The people are amazing and friendly and the food was fresh and delicious and you get enough toppings to fill two tortillas they give you. The toppings bar had lots of options and sauces. Top picks were fish or shrimp tacos and the marlin empanada.

These are the typical, traditional Baia tacos: breaded fish, shrimp, marlin and ray. You can’t go wrong with the breaded fish or shrimp taco. Then you have the salsa bar with a good varietyand you can add as much as you want. The best food I had in Baja Sur.

Tacos son una delicia. Great service from all the people. You pay first, get your Tacos o Empanadas. Condiments, veggies, are self served. Best fish & shrimp tacos I’ve had!

If you want a family owned Mexican restaurant experience, it's great. If you want the experience you would expect from a restaurant in the US, not so much. They don't speak English and only take cash. But we loved it.

It’s a street stand with plenty of covered seating inside. Four tacos for less than 200 pesos. We had shrimp and fish tacos that were amazing! The meat is fried and they have a lot of things to put on the tacos. Great find!!

Mercado Negro offers delicious, authentic local seafood, and the quality of the food is undeniable. However, the experience was dampened by the constant barrage of food vendors aggressively trying to get us into their establishments. While I understand the competition, it became overwhelming and, at times, unpleasant. If you’re looking for great seafood and don’t mind the persistent sales pitches, it’s worth a visit—but be prepared for the pressure.

Ensenada is a fishing city and this is the heart of the fishing industry in the city. Vendor after vendor with wonderful fresh fish and seafood. Everyone is very helpful and it is a must see when visiting the Ensenada area.
Todd P — Google review
This is a tourist attraction rather than a traditional seafood market used by locals. There aren't many fish inside, and the vendors inside don't seem very interested in selling. Instead, the nearby restaurant staff are more enthusiastic about drawing in customers, offering seafood processing services. We didn't eat here because it felt strange—there were hardly any people except tourists, so it didn't feel like an authentic local experience. Overall, this city gives off a vibe of being very tourist-oriented, with high prices on generic items and everyone trying hard to attract customers to their own shops. It just feels odd and lacks the authentic atmosphere you'd expect from a place frequented by locals.

Lola 55 Tacos & Cocktails is a trendy spot known for its gourmet tacos and craft cocktails. The industrial-chic counter serve with a lounge area adds to the unique dining experience. Locals rave about the juicy, mesquite-grilled Filet Mignon Tacos topped with avocado mousse, smoky pasilla salsa, crispy leeks, and jalapeno toreado.
Seriously good, upscale tacos! I come here at least once a month and I have never disappointed. Their fish taco is excellent! Also, they have two killer veggie options if you don’t want meat. I like meat but still sometimes prefer their cauliflower taco. The beans, the rice, and the drink selections are also quite good. Seriously good food, cannot recommend enough!
Alec R — Google review
Lola 55 nails the craft taco vibe, lively room, polished service, and the Michelin Bib Gourmand nod makes sense.  Our spread hit all the notes, crisp Caesar, juicy chicken tacos, a steak taco, one Baja fish, the kids quesadilla, and the Tres Hermanas. The standouts were the fish and the beans, both among the best I have had, the fish perfectly crisp and flaky, the beans silky, deeply seasoned, and addictive. Shout out to Arlene, warm, knowledgeable, and generous with details about the vibe and the food. She also shared how they evolved from self-serve to full service, and you can feel that in the hospitality. Five stars from me. It is not my everyday go-to, I lean super healthy most days, but when I want excellent tacos with real care behind them, this is where I am coming.

First of all, I know the food is the most important thing in a restaurant, but the service was just INCREDIBLE. I feel bad I don't remember her name, but our waitress was so kind, attentive and just so energetic, me and my gf loved her. Now the food. Carnitas tacos were the best tacos I HAVE EVER HAD. A perfect combination of salty, acidity from what I think were tomatillos, and crunchy. They had a special pozole which was phenomenal too. Their fish taco is really famous. Disclaimer, I don't like fish tacos, but we still ordered and it was the best one I've had ever. Personally I would still stick with the carnitas and steak, but if you do enjoy them, it is indeed very flavorful. Overall 10/10 experience, if we didn't live in Chicago, we would become regulars without a doubt.
Paulo K — Google review
The smoked carnitas, beans and rice are great. Every other taco I've tried there is just okay. The staff yesterday had zero tequila knowledge and didn't know what a ramekin lid was.. Also was quoted a certain price for tequila only to realize they charge 3 bucks extra for a neat pour, I get it, usually 2 oz and not 1.5. But then I got charged another 3 bucks for a rocks pour. Not sure if this is how the business wants to do it or if it was an employee mistake. Either way, they need to train their people more. This spot used to be amazing, not so much anymore sadly

Great place for tacos! The tacos were delicious. They have a machine making corn tortillas, and they come ready with sauce, so no need for extra lime or hot sauce. I had steak, pork belly al pastor, and a fish taco, all very filling. The tacos felt elegant but tasted great. I looked them up online are featured in the 2022 Michelin guide which makes sense after trying the food. I will be back soon.

We swing in for the happy hour and got the cauliflower taco and beer. It was nice that they had a few vegiterian/vegan options for tacos that were unique. The cauliflower one had an eggplant bacon that added a nice crisp and smoky flavor. The beer was just okay but they arent a brewery so I wasnt expecting it to be amazing. The staff was pretty quick and friendly and had a few recommendations that were helpful as well. Overall a nice place to grab a bite.
Conner J — Google review
Stumbled upon this unassuming eatery on a sunny Thursday afternoon, and it turned out to be some of the best tacos I’ve ever had. The open, airy ambiance made for a relaxed and inviting setting, and the service was truly top-notch. Our server, Caleb, was fantastic—passionate and deeply knowledgeable. He enthusiastically shared the story behind the restaurant and dove into the thought and technique behind each dish, from preparation to seasoning. They also have an excellent happy hour. I especially loved the spiced Jamaica—a beautifully aromatic drink infused with anise and warming mixed spices. It struck a perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and floral notes. As for the food—absolutely unforgettable. The Squashroom and Cauliflower tacos are two of the most inspired vegetarian tacos I’ve ever had. The Squashroom features a delicately battered lion’s mane mushroom paired with a squash blossom, bright verde salsa, and a bold red chili paste. It’s a mesmerizing harmony of textures and flavors. The Cauliflower taco might have been my favorite. Smoky, crispy cauliflower meets a crunchy eggplant “bacon” strip, all topped with a deeply flavorful sweet-and-tangy mole. The fresh corn tortillas elevate every bite—they’re the perfect vehicle for all these bold, creative flavors. I also tried the Baja Fish taco, which was equally impressive. The fish was fried to perfection—crispy on the outside, tender on the inside—accompanied by a spicy salsa, tangy tartar sauce, and a touch of mesclun greens for freshness. An incredible combination. In short: this place is doing something truly special. Innovative, intentional, and absolutely delicious. Someone give them their Michelin star already!

Great hotel in every way! Ideal for a quick getaway. As a childless couple we would just like to recommend for the hotel to be more assertive on the rules on the pool area, specially on the jacuzzi, because kids below 12 years come and go as de please and the lifeguard is not always there. I hope that the hotel would give the rules to all people on the check in process.

I have stayed at Corral and Marina for now almost 18 years. Everything has been fine, but on this recent stay, I was very disappointed by the service, specifically the maintenance team. Upon my arrival, I tried to change the temperature of my room without success. I called the maintenance team, they reassured me they would adjust. I came back into the room later, and it was 25C!!! I called again, and was told, we are on our way. No one showed up. I want to the front desk to ask for assistance, only to be told, I will remind the maintenance team of your need.

Such a cute little restaurant. It was near our resort so we decided to give it a try and we are so glad we did! Cesar was our server, he was so kind and attentive. He kept the table clean, made sure we had everything we needed, and was quick to clear empty plates so we had room. The tacos were fantastic. We got asada, pescado, and camaron. The guacamole was fresh and flavorful. Will definitely make it back here when in Cabo again!

This has to be the busiest place I’ve been to while in Cabo San Lucas (most places were empty when we visited). It’s a casual place. We ordered different tacos - battered fish, grilled shrimp, grilled octopus, al pastor and smoke tuna. I personally liked shrimp taco and al pastor tacos. My kids liked grilled octopus. The jamaica drink was so refreshing to go with the tacos. The price was reasonable and the service was fast. It’s a great place to have lunch by Medano Beach.

Yummy and reasonable priced. Literally have signs up saying best fish and shrimp tacos (70 pesos each). 2 different salsas, pickled onions, pico de gallo, cabbage, crema, avocado sauce come free. Service is super nice and quick. Breakfast platter was good too (280 pesos). It came with refried beans, two eggs, hashbrowns, toast or pancakes, bacon or sausage. Like most restaurants, they only had ceiling fans. It was very hot (August).

This place was straight fire. We ate here pretty much every day. The fish and shrimp tacos are where it's at. I really like that they bring all of the toppings and sauces to the table. They bring the tacos dry and you get to dress them up yourself. We also came for breakfast and that was bomb as well. If you're in the area do not sleep on this place. Best tacos we had in cabo.

Hands down, the BEST taco spot in Cabo San Lucas. Whether you’re into pastor, asada, shrimp, fish, or scallops, it’s all top tier here.

Fresh Real ingredients None of that powder shit! This was authentic. Highly recommended! Just a short walk from the marina. We will return every time we’re here. Sorry about not taking pictures of the food Once it reached the table I dug right in Lol Huge mound of fresh guacamole Delicious. They bring all the fixings and salsa over to your table so you can prepare your taco as you wish with cabbage, sauces, pico de gallo and so on. A Must Try!!! Great Job Everyone!

Haven’t tasted the food and I already fell in love with the place. Javier was exceptional and a gentleman. We have heard from a lot of people that to have the best Cabo experience you need to meet him. Since it was our last night in Cabo, we used all the Mexican Pesos and there’s no credit card machine onsite, he didn’t let us go, and told us not to worry about the money that I could pay him next year or in my other life, that what matters to him is for good people to have a good time and a full belly! (Who the F#*%$ dose that now days and it’s so nice?) Anyhow, we had dollars so we were ready for the feast and the experience... Now, in regards to the tacos. They were delish, included avocado, and not greasy at all! To top it off, Javier loves music! Not only the place looks like The Beatles library, he sings along to their songs, as well as Frank Sinatra, and so for. All said and done, the best taco experience in Cabo San Lucas.

It was great to see Javier back and looking healthy. The past couple of times we stopped by he was closed due to some health issues. Today we stopped by and he was open.

I had delivery. So can’t speak to what the restaurant looks like although I was there a couple years ago and seemed great. I got the meat lovers and jalapeño poppers. Poppers are not what you’d expect in the states where they’re deep fried with beer batter on the outside, but these are still good. Pizza was really good and still warm. The crust was a little thin and a little tough which I assume is just because of the delivery time. They set an expectation of delivery in 45 minutes and I received it closer to 30 minutes. Great service, I would just give them a call rather than tryto sort it out on their website. Next time I’ll be stopping in at the restaurant to see what that’s like. You can’t go wrong with this one.

Seriously awful margarita and queso fundito in a lively shopping area. We had one bite of the queso and decided to leave. It was, well, icky. No taste and a weird liquid. The margarita tasted like they put salt in the mixer. We tried to like it, but left most of it. Grossly salty. The restaurant did offer to make us a replacement queso, which we declined and they took it off our bill. I know it might seem strange that we didn't allow them to remake the dish, but it was just that awful. Disappointing experience as we only had a few hours in Cabo.

Very affordable tacos. Maybe the cheapest in town but no compromise on the taste. This was my go to place. They give you the tacos with the choice of meat/ fish and then you go to the salad bar to load up however you like. Nice selection of salsas and sauces and toppings

We were in town on vacation. Just looking for some good authentic Mexicano eats. This place did not disappoint. They even have a home made salsa bar! Not just one salsa option. The enchiladas with the green sauce??? AMAZING! The Sope/Chile Relleno/Enchilada plate?? YES PLEASE. Next time you’re in Cabo San Lucas stop in and give them a try. You can thank me later.

Taquerías El Paisa is a popular taco spot with multiple locations in and around downtown Cabo San Lucas. It started as a single taco stand and has now become a go-to place for authentic grilled beef tacos, quesadillas, and potatoes. The restaurant is known for its delicious street-style tacos, including the popular carne asada and el pastor varieties.
Highly recommend the carnitas tacos! Super flavorful with some pico and sauce. The grilled shrimp were also good but didn’t have much on them, but you’ll have pico de gallo, salsa, cilantro and more toppings provided. Good, but not my favorite, get the carnitas! Very smoky inside! If you’re sensitive to smoke, it might be a tricky spot to dine. We were fine with it, but just a heads up :) takeout might be a better option if you are.

They make good tacos. We should have ordered grilled shrimp and fish tacos because they were oily. The taste was good with adding the extra items to them. Good prices and plenty to food!

In my search for the best tacos, Taqueria El Paisa definitely made the list. We visited the downtown location, an open-air spot with a casual vibe. I ordered the carne asada tacos on flour tortillas, and they were so good. They were juicy, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The service was also quick and efficient, which I really appreciated. A great spot for authentic tacos!

A spacious, open-air taqueria with plenty of seating, lots of staff, and good food. I ordered the carne con queso, and it was delicious, mouthwatering, and bursting with flavor. I also tried the al pastor, camaron, and pescado tacos, and each one hit the spot. The condiments are self-serve, and the staff are friendly, quick, and efficient. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to every time I visit Cabo.

Absolutely loved this place! We had the beef tacos and chicken tacos, both were packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. The tortillas were fresh, and the meat was juicy and well seasoned. They served them with a variety of local sauces that were incredible and really elevated the taste. The service was friendly and fast and the atmosphere felt warm and authentic.

If you’re in Cabo San Lucas and craving authentic tacos, this place is a must! The al pastor tacos were packed with flavor and perfectly seasoned, and the vampiro de asada was incredible — crispy, cheesy, and full of smoky goodness. The fresh handmade tortillas took everything to another level. We loved it so much we went back a second time before leaving Cabo. Highly recommend if you want real, delicious tacos that hit the spot every time! 🌮🔥

Tacos Rossy, located along the scenic Carretera Transpeninsular Km. 33, has been delighting taco enthusiasts for over 25 years with its mouthwatering offerings. This beloved spot is particularly famous for its seafood tacos, especially the gobernador variety that showcases traditional Baja California shrimp. The menu also features delectable almejas (chocolate clams), shredded beef tacos known as deshebrada, and marinated pork adobada tacos.
Want authentic good eats and not break the bank? Go where the locals go, off the main tourist area. They have air conditioning which made it better to enjoy our lunch. We had the tacos; smoked marlin, marlon quesadilla, Flank Steak & Cheese, grilled shrimp, 2 beers. It was delicious! Their salsa bar was good too. Waiter and place clean as expected from local owned. We walked lunchtime here from Plaza Mirares and we felt safe, locals were nice, friendly strays dogs. Accepts USD and credit card. BUT if paying USD their conversion is bad, pay by pesos or credit card by peso price. Overall it still fine. Visited 9-30-24. Weather was good, low 80s F, 70% humidity. Included menu for you ✌️

Review for to go order to take back to our hotel for a late lunch. When I stepped in was asked to wear a mask, so note at this time need a mask to eat here. Ordered 2 two steak, 2 marinated meat (both meat tacos on corn tortillas) and 3 smoked marlin tacos on flour tortillas per waiter’s suggestion. Smocked marlin tacos were amazing. Beef ones were okay but the corn tortillas were not great ( maybe because they were not super warm since the order was to go. Came with three different salsas, crème sauce, cut limes & cucumber. Total bill was around $16. Great value. Better than any taco we ate at the Viceroy Hotel!

Definitely off the beaten track but the food was great. The salad and salsa bar really make the tacos pop. The half orders of ceviche were filled to the brim with great seafood. The campechana had a mix of octopus, shrimp, scallops - so good. 2 half orders of ceviche, 2 tacos, 2 bottle waters were $25 USD

Decent shrimp/fish tacos with a large sauce bar area. I wish I had ordered a non-fried option as I imagine the grilled fish is very fresh. Only reason this location did not get 5 stars is that a large American family came in after us and they seemed to receive priority attention from all the staff.

Best fish tacos in the world! Get them battered in a flour tortilla! This place was packed at 11:30 a.m. because the build your own fish tacos are so good! They're crunchy. The fish is light and tasty buttery. No fishiness at all. The flour tortillas are amazing, and the build your own salsa taco bar is phenomenal with tons of fresh ingredients, amazing guacamole and coleslaw. And the owner of this restaurant learned from a previous Google post by someone who was filming flies on their food, now they have these cool fly fans that spin at your table to keep the flies away. 🙂

Had a fantastic breakfast here! My husband and I both got the chorizo omelette. When the plate came it was kind of bare, just the omelette and a puddle of beans, until the proprietor directed us to the most impressive salsa and toppings bar we have ever seen! A mouth-watering array of sauces and vegetables to fill your plate and the tortillas that come with the meal. Besides the chorizo omelette was just spectacular. We were both so happy and stuffed. Lovely little palapa restaurant with colorful tablecloths. Very clean with sanitizer on all tables and a hand washing sink in the middle. We wanted to return the next day for another meal but unfortunately they were closed and we were only in town 2 days. If you are in los Barriles, you must eat here at least once! You will not be disappointed.

El Ahorcado/The Hangman is a taco restaurant in San Jose del Cabo that offers a variety of unique tacos that have not been found anywhere else in the area. The lengua taco (cow tongue) is especially delicious, and the atmosphere is casual and romantic at night.
This place is a hidden gem that we stumbled upon and SOOO glad we did. Natalia was our server and she was absolutely fantastic. The salsa tray/board was impressive with house made tortilla chips. Order as many tacos as you wish which was excellent for personal options and variety. Strawberry Daiquiri was homemade and very tasty & perfect with sweetness - very fresh. If you haven’t been, worth the stop and the atmosphere is very unique & fun making the experience even better.

Atmosphere was very different but mystical and full of antiques from diverse cultures. Spice platter was too spicy and we were able to try only three of the sauces.

Theme was scary as my mum got scared to see hangman welcoming at the front door.

El Ahorcado offers an authentic Mexican dining experience that combines rustic charm with genuine culinary artistry. The thoughtfully curated interior creates an atmospheric journey through Mexican history. The decor included weathered chains, vintage horseshoes, classic metal signage and other 1800s relics, seemlesslt blended with traditional angelitos, evoking the warmth of an 1800s Mexican hacienda. The kitchen's commitment to excellence shines through their masterful execution of classic Mexican staples. From quesadillas to their signature cheese-crusted tacos and hearty stuffed potatoes, each dish showcases the careful attention and pride that defines genuine Mexican cuisine. The quality and flavor profiles demonstrate a kitchen that truly understands and respects traditional preparation methods. What immediately distinguishes El Ahorcado is their remarkable hospitality. Upon seating, before you've even place your drink order, servers present an impressive complimentary spread: zesty pickled vegetables with a delightful heat, an array of house-made hot sauces ranging from hot to fiery, spicy guacamole, fresh pico de gallo, and salt potatoes topped with a cup of herb-garlic butter for dipping. Naturally they also bring out warm toasted corn tortillas for breaking, sharing and dipping. This generous welcome sets the tone for an evening of exceptional service and genuine care. The papas relleinos (stuffed potato) came in a skilled topped with cheese crust. The meats in the tacos were tender and juicy. The veggies freshly sauteed and complimented the flavor profiles. Simone foods, yet so we'll prepared. It was, without a doubt, some of the best food we had in Los Cabos El Ahorcado represents everything wonderful about Mexican dining culture. An array of authentic flavors prepared with passion, warm hospitality, and an atmosphere that transports you to the heart of Mexico's culinary traditions. It's an out of the way neighborhood north of San Jose del Cabo. The location won't ever be confused for a tourist area and you'll need to get out your translation app if you can't speak the language. But don't pass on the opportunity for this amazing restaurant.

1 & Only Taco is a must-visit spot for authentic Los Cabos tacos. Despite its name, it offers a variety of delicious tacos that are described as nothing short of perfection. The shrimp variety is particularly enticing, and the fish tacos are hailed as the best in Cabo. The family-owned restaurant provides excellent service and a friendly atmosphere. With its small and quaint patio area, this place is highly recommended for anyone looking to savor high-quality, affordable tacos in Cabo.
A true gem of a taco joint stumbled upon mid afternoon for an outstanding experience. Fred, the owner, is one of the most passionate restaurant operators I’ve ever met. His energy and attention to detail clearly expresses itself in the food. Delicious tacos done the old school way. No menu just whatever they’re making that day. Awesome music too!

Worst tacos and service! Don’t waste your time or money here. Better to go somewhere else, since there’s many options in the area. We were the 3rd table to be seated. The server said it’ll be a 10 minute wait for our food. It took 15+ minutes for him to even bring out chips & salsa. The other party was fed up with waiting and left. We almost left as well, but felt bad that we’ve put in an order and decided to give them a chance. It took about 30 minutes to be served 8 tacos. We tried the shrimp, fried fish and steak. The tacos were tiny with meager filling, tasted ok, nothing special. The drinks were mainly sugary syrup. I wish I left and went to Gardenias instead. I enjoy small and unknown local spots, but this is not it. The wait spoiled the entire experience and you’re just sitting outside in the sun in plastic lawn chairs. The servers dog kept barking nonstop. It was a one man show (not the the owner behind the counter, probably the apprentice). Maybe he was just starting out, but it’ll be better to let guests know the realistic wait time. Also, there was no menu and you really don’t know what you’re paying until he serves you the bill. I do not recommend eating here, ever.

I went on a hunt to find the best tacos in Cabo, and this place came out on top. The shop itself is quaint and unassuming, but the tacos speak for themselves. There was no menu and the owner greeted us by listing out what options were available. That’s how you know you’re getting a real authentic experience. We ordered the fish, chicken, and beef tacos. Each taco was incredible, but the fish taco stood out as the best I’ve ever had. The salsa was also amazing and I found myself eating it straight from the spoon. The owner and chef are passionate about their cooking, and it comes through in the flavours. There is nothing too fancy or experimental, these are simply traditional tacos done extremely well, with fresh and delicious ingredients. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting Cabo.

If you are passing through the area and looking for a memorable spot to grab some tacos, this is the place. They even have a drive through option. The tortillas are made on site, and they give you the choice of flour or corn tortillas. They start your meal by bringing you a small starter of beans and chilies. They also bring you a tray with all of the various taco condiments so you can build your tacos however you like (great for picky little ones who might not like certain toppings).

The restaurant is highly recommended by locals and has gained recognition on Baja California's top culinary lists. It's a favorite spot for Tijuanense, with long lines forming on Saturday afternoons.
Good for a quick fix. I wouldn't say it's wow I want to eat here every time I go get tacos. Their adobada was pretty good. Not spicy it felt light and not greasy. Their asada was okay somewhat bland but still good and it tasted fresh. The salsas were too hot there was no mild option for us that suffer from gastro issues they need to get a mild flavor salsa for us special gut diet people. Overall I would rate it an 8/10. I came at 9pm so there was no wait.

Good enough portion and decent flavor, the vampiros are a good option except they’re really salty. They only have one type of salsa. They bring you radish and cucumbers and they charge if you need extra. The beverage selection is limited, the place is not well ventilated and the service is moody and forgetful, they pretty much want you to leave quickly. Not a place to stay for long but if you’re hungry and in a hurry this is the place.

Five stars (in the context of taco stands). It was a fun outing, good energy from the patrons and staff. Expect a line before you get seated, but it moves quickly. We were there at five on a Friday and the two of us were seated within ten minutes and our order taken within the next five. Unlike most taco stands where your order at the counter, there are waitresses at El Franc. Parking can be interesting, there is an adjacent parking lot staffed by attendants (who work for tips, should you feel so inclined) but getting out is not for the inexperienced or faint hearted. But, hey, it's TJ. What did you expect? Okay, on to the tacos. I ordered one adobada, one vegetarian, and one asada. They were all good. My favorite was the adobada, which they serve instead of al pastor--it's similar but there's no pineapple. You also get a plate of sliced cucumbers and radishes, which you can enjoy as a salad/palate cleanser, along with a generous bowl of sliced limes. The tacos come with onion, cilantro, salsa, and a generous dollop of mashed avocado on top. Each taco is fully loaded with meat (except for the taco vegetaranio, of course, which was surprisingly good). You may want to order a couple of extra tortillas and side cup of beans (I did). Overall it's a fun, affordable, and tasty experience.

We’ve tried tacos in many places, and Tacos El Franc in TJ truly stands out as some of the best—if not the best—we’ve ever had. We ordered both carne asada and lengua tacos, and neither disappointed. Both were cooked and seasoned to absolute perfection. The freshly handmade tortillas were the perfect finishing touch. It was easy to see why there was a long line of people waiting to sit down and enjoy their tacos. We decided to park nearby and order ours to go, and when we got home and dug in, we were not disappointed. This is definitely a spot we’ll be coming back to again, and I’d highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area. 🌮

Finally made our way to this famous Taco Shop, Tacos El Franc. We might have been lucky and only waited about 10 minutes before being seated. We got Al Pastor, Suadero, Lengua and Cabeza. Al pastor was mildly seasoned which is a plus for me, Suadero was crispy. I'm used to soft Suadero, this one was good but not the best. Ordered the Lengua tacos with their hand made tortillas, these were the best out of all. Lengua was soft, flavorful and tacos packed with meat. Got their Horchata and Jamaica waters, both really good. Overall, I don't think they lived up to the hype. I recommend Tacos 3 Salsas, which are much better and atmosphere is fun and welcoming. It was still a good experience.

Best tacos in Loreto. Where the locals eat. Dropped by at lunch, ordered and had my first taco in less than 5 minutes. As soon as I stood up to empty my trash he had my second taco ready. Meaning each taco was hot off the grill. They were almost too hot to eat which added to the experience. Two salsa bars with fresh condiments. Their limeade was incredible. Had more than one table available last time I was there and counter service seating. Sit at the counter and enjoy watching your food being prepared. Eat here and enjoy!!

We ordered hibiscus flavored drinks (pictured) that were unique and interesting. The fish taco - the main attraction here - was good. Fried fish on corn tortillas with access to a decent toppings bar for salsa and sauces. I also had a taco torito shrimp which is a fried pepper with shrimp inside on a corn tortilla. Never had anything like it before. A good local experience for a different kind of breakfast. Highly recommend it. My friend had a shrimp burrito. Three drinks and three items came to 300 Pesos. 👍 if you find this useful.

We've been told about the tacos by a local and while being in La Paz we decided to try it. It was by far the best fish tacos I've ever had - so delicious! The staff was so nice and friendly as well. If we ever get to visit La Paz again that's where we'd go to.

Delicious fish tacos and worth trying if you are in La Paz. They bring the tacos to your table and there is a condiments bar where you can add different toppings and sauces. There is also private parking if you are driving here so very convenient

We had high expectations for this place for being well known restaurant. Unfortunately the food was not all that. The fish was bland and the toppings did not add a lot of flavor to it. Still a solid place to have tacos but nothing special. BTW shrimp was better than the fish and the marlin was also a good choice.

Wow! This is where you want to go for amazing fish tacos! Food comes out hot, fresh, and crispy. Toppings bar is full and well maintained with lots of fresh options -- Pico, slaws, peppers, onions, and about 50 different sauces. It is inexpensive, easy, and gets you off the main drag to see some of actual La Paz.

A huge fish taco. The size of my hand! I wish the staff warned me when we ordered 4 between my daughter and me. I ended up throwing away 2 of them. The cost was cheap but I don’t like wasting food. The fish was crispy and flakey good

Taco Fish in La Paz is an absolute must visit! We went here with a group of four for lunch and it was so good we ended up coming back for a second round. This spot is super casual with an awesome locals vibe, but the flavors are what really blew us away. I ordered the crab crunchy taco, shrimp crunchy taco, and the fish taco—all of them were incredible. We also got a mixed seafood ceviche for the table to share, which was super fresh and packed with flavor. The salsa bar was next level with such a huge selection of hot sauces, salsas, and toppings. Nice to customize each bite, especially for this spice queen. Hard to pick a favorite because everything was so good! The prices are super reasonable, making it an easy and budget-friendly spot to grab a delicious meal. Whether you’re just visiting or live nearby, Taco Fish is the kind of place you’ll want to keep coming back to. Highly recommend!

We always get the Hawaiian and Pepperoni grande sized pizzas which are really well priced. Their chipotle crema sauce, which you squeeze on yourself, goes especially well with the sweetness of the Hawaiian pizza. Their jugo de limon drinks are some of the best & cheapest around for the size. Their pizzas are wood fired, & really thin & crispy. In the evenings, there is usually a number of people dropping by to do take home orders at a separate counter. There is indoor & outdoor seating. The only down side I notice is that the waiter/waitress don't seem happy in their job, although they were still efficient ..
Lorna B — Google review
So we celebrated my daughter's birthday dinner here with friends. Outdoor seating was nice and yes indoor seating is offered. My daughter loves the Isabella pizza (it has cherries and bananas and my mind just went blank but something else, 😉). Me I'm good with the pepperoni pizza. The crust is thin and cooked on open fire. On the weekend the plaza here at Pino Payas location gets very busy but very exciting. On a weekend night you might hear the games going on the TV screens next door, karaoke, live music. Etc. There are restrooms for the customers but not sure if handicap accessible. The reason for the 4 stars is only because I like my crust bottom not so flimsy. But I've had it done right many times also so it depends on the cook I'm guessing. Photos included with this review. Def suggest checking it out!

Pretty good pizza 🍕 only funny thing we ordered an Italian pizza supposed to be Italian sausage they used hotdogs 🌭. So yea had my first hit dog pizza 2nd time went my Rosa pasta was good but service absolutely sucks. We ordered 4 simple pasta dishes. It took 15 minutes for the first one, and they brought them out one at a time. About 8 minutes in-between. So if you want to wait for everyone yo get their food and your first your food will be 🥶 . A lot of workers, many just sitting on their phones.

Wanted to love this place. Big time locals feel. Plenty of Canadians/Americans there. Just going to say this now. Count your drinks. Had 3 (three) of their margaritas which were great.

The quesataco has its own special day on October 13th, when enthusiasts can enjoy it with various meat and vegetable fillings.

You walk in and you go up to the food counter to order.  I ordered the Marlin Taco, Fish Taco, Tuna Burrito and Consume.  It was a TON of food, I really really liked the Fish Taco tho.  On the side of the ordering counter you have a salsa bar.  I put the Chipotle sauce but it was super super spicy for me and I put way too much.  I really liked the Tuna burrito though.  After eating there is a cashier who collects the payment based on everything you ate. Overall it was a great start to the day but we ate way too much food, I was stuffed afterwards.

This is our go-to place for tacos in Cabo. Our favorites are the tacos al pastor, arrachera, and the gringas (as much as we hate to admit it). I usually skip the pineapple on the Pastor tacos but others like it. Love the salsa, pico, and avocado sauce served with all meals — along with a plate of cucumbers and dish of limes. The service is fast and friendly. It’s casual — plastic tables and chairs — and/but the food and people make this a top choice for delicious tacos.

Taqueria FOGÓN: Where tacos are taken as seriously as a Cabo sunset. Each bite was a flavor fiesta, leaving us questioning why we ever settled for anything less.

Forget the beach, the real treasure in Cabo is found between tortillas at Taqueria FOGÓN. Don't taco 'bout it, be about it!

Taqueria El Gran Pastor, located at the corner of Matamoros, is a popular stand-up taqueria in Cabo San Lucas. It's frequented by crowds from nearby nightspots and is especially bustling after midnight. The signature offering here is the tacos al pastor, featuring marinated pork cooked on a vertical spit and dressed with various condiments like chili sauces, cabbage, guacamole, onion, and cheese.
Definitely some of the best late night Tacos 🌮 in town, that are priced right as well. And I actually love the new location basically across from Hooliganz and just one block from the original location. As the new location actually has a few seats available so you can even enjoy the awesome Tacos 🌮 even more 😃👍👍 Service is always excellent and everything is quick and ready to go within minutes. Love the Roasted peppers/ Mexican Candy as I, and some prefer to call them 😋😋 So many amazing Taco places in town but this one is definitely in the top three that's for sure.

it’s a classic street taco experience! it’s fast, friendly, affordable, and it tastes good. you can definitely “upgrade” to find better tacos in the area but they will cost 2-3x what gran pastor charges they also accept credit cards which is nice and they have some stools you can sit on near the shop to eat your tacos. the al pastor was really tasty and they have a little salsa and pickle bar right in front of the plancha.

Hands down, without a doubt....THE BEST tacos in Cabo. I go to Cabo twice and year and always hit up the taco stands or smaller restaurants that feature tacos. El Gran Pastor is THE BEST. Every time I come, there's at least 5-6 people in line. The owners are a cute couple that operate out of less than 50 SF of space. There are no tables but you're welcome to sit on the sidewalk or just stand around the area. IF the bar next door is open, you can eat there as long as you purchase a drink. Other thing to note is they have the best toppings. I never see grilled onions elsewhere. Here, they have it ALL! Keepin' it short....this place is a MUST!

This is one of the best tacos I had when I was is Cabo. Open later in the afternoon. I ate Al Pastor both the times. It was as delish as it could get. The only drawdown was difficulty to eat without a spot to place your plate on because the taco was so hot. But thats what street foods are.

Update: I freaked out when I got to Cabo last week, to see the old location of El Grand Pastor was all boarded up with a wood front. The bartender next-door pointed out EGP had moved into the next block. (walk against the one way to the new location). This is the secret go to place for dinner and late night. Update El Gran Pastor, usually opens about 7pm. Serving into the late night munchies & open Till 2 am . Carne, Pastor, Chorizo and other specialty meats, cabeza, lengue ! Try the mixed! help yourself to All the fixings in bowls (use tongs) ! The crew knows how to do it. I bring all my friends here. Always Consistently great. Since there is limited seating inside there are stools on the sidewalk. I usually get my order and head back to the small family run bar and catch a cerveza, for a good seat to watch TV & Street activity. Just up the street from the Jungle bar and Giggling Marlin. Highly Recommended! Reasonable prices and great fresh food (tacos). Note: No chicken or fish tacos. (Hit the other Taco places nearby for that)

Castillo is a simple taco stand located in the corner of Avenida Mar and Avenida Juarez. They make some of the best fish tacos that you will ever taste, and they are perfect for locals and tourists alike.
Tacos Castillo is a classic street food stand with a straightforward setup — it can get busy, but the atmosphere is exactly what you'd expect from a no-frills taco stand. The staff is friendly, and the customer service aligns well with the casual, fast-paced vibe of the place. We tried the tacos de camarón (shrimp) and pescado (fish). Compared to Tacos Fénix, the flavors and quality are nearly identical, with the main difference being the selection of salsas. The shrimp tacos were especially notable — the shrimp had a nice, bouncy texture, which speaks to its freshness even after cooking. Seating is minimal, just benches without actual tables unless you’re seated close to the fryer. It’s not the most comfortable, but it’s part of the experience. If Tacos Fénix has a long line, Tacos Castillo is a fantastic alternative since they’re so similar in taste and quality. Overall, I’d definitely go back for another quick taco fix!

These tacos are famous. Like seriously featured in all YouTube videos about Ensenada, commented about, super hyped. I liked the efficient service, the clean clear containers, handing money through a plastic bag, and very generous servings of salsa, shredded lettuce, cucumber and radishes, and the sauces I would never be brave enough to try really looked delicious. The two "cremas" were mayonnaise and chipotle aioli. And, as for the fish, it was crispy, they have a very efficient technique for drying it at the border of the pan, and it was tasty. Was it tastier than El Johnny in Punta Banda? That would be a resounding "no". These folks are better organized and handled the long line very elegantly, though. Still a great experience!! I concur with the recommendations. Special mention to the staff.

One of my favorite spots in Loreto. Their tacos are unmatched. I absolutely love their battered fish and shrimp tacos. Their grilled shrimp with cheese is excellent as is their grilled fish option. They provide you with chips and a tray that includes a multitude of sauces and toppings. The margaritas here are pretty great too!

Cesar's is the first place we take family and friends when they arrive in Loreto. First impressions can set the tone for an entire vacation and Cesar's is perfect in every way. Julio always greats us with a smile. The Margaritas are delicious as are the tacos heaped with fresh caught fish with all the trimmings.

Delicious fish tacos and the prices are very reasonable. The owners are not the friendliest, but service is good. I highly recommend for lunch. Edit: I’m editing this post because on a return visit, I was warmly welcomed by the family who owns it. Everyone can have a bad day, especially when it’s 90 degrees outside.

La Avioneta is a small, unassuming Mexican restaurant in the Barrio Obrera that serves up some of the best seafood tacos in Ensenada. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible and has takeout availability.
SO GOOD. The cheesy shrimp tacos were amazing. So many salsas, with so much flavor to choose from. Go, eat here, immediately.

It's a good place when you are in the area, the food is good as well and they have variety of options, from last time I have visited they reduced the portion sizes a little bit but still good. Please be aware that they do not take cards, is cash only and if you use dollars they will give you a low non-favorable exchange rate. I had the Marlyn tostada that day with shrimp on top. See the pictures below.

Cash only taco place with several types of seafood tacos. You order directly from the cook first. You pay after you'd had your meal. We went for lunch. Tacos are decent, the marlin taco with peppers and tomatoes was probably the best of the bunch. The place feels like it used to be someone's garage. It's a little rough around the edges.

So so good! Also such a bargain. We all had tacos, you can choose how many of each you want and they were delicious! Everything on the menu looked really good. Had some really fun fresh margaritas as well. Son had a giant milkshake , and I mean giant! Highly recommend. Our waiter was super busy at lunchtime, and very friendly.

If you’re looking for a great authentic Mexican food and place in Los Cabos, this is definitely THE place to be. The food was just amazing and also for a very fair price. Totally different from the most of restaurants in Los Cabos, which are always trying to rip off the tourists. The staff are super friendly as well. Jesus and Damian were the ones taking care of us and they were very kind and nice. Great food, great price and great service. Totally recommend!

Tacos Lalo's is hands-down, one of the best food stops in Cabo San Lucas! We have gone back there many times because the service and the food is so good. Its hard to find a truly good place to eat in Cabo, but Lalos is the best food around with a great vibe and amazingly tasting Mexican food that is locally authentic! They serve breakfast and lunch and then close after that. I had the french toast for breakfast and later for lunch, an amazing chicken avocado sandwich on wheat bread that was delicious. The chicken avocado sandwich was my meal of choice during the several times we went there. Another unique aspect is the many surfboards on display with the Tacos Lalo name and logo on them. They do a great job of branding their place with signs and displays placed around the restaurant that draws attention to this excellent food stop. Another thing that i really liked was how CLEAN the place is. The bathroom was very clean, easily accessible and the floors were always freshly swept. The Tacos Lalos staff were always smiling and helpful and we always felt so comfortable there that it was such an easy choice each time we were in the city to pick the best food and easy going environment. If your want amazing food with a great local price and a beautiful environment, go to LALOS!

Nomada Organics and Gourmet is a delicious, organic restaurant that offers vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free foods. They use fresh and organic ingredients to create mouth-watering dishes. There are many delicious juices and salads on the menu as well as healthy food options for vegetarians.
Nomada Fresh was delicious! We are vegan and they had several options - we went back because it was that good. My husband loved the tofu omelette and I had the quinoa salad and another yummy dish with tortillas (can’t remember the name). Everything fresh, the service was perfect and the outside eating in the shade was lovely.

Went to have breakfast. My friend and I enjoyed the chilaquiles. The green sauce was very good and the eggs cooked perfectly. The only issue was the tortilla in the chilaquiles, very soggy. The green juice with Orange juice combo was refreshing. Our waitress, a kind lady with dark hair, was very friendly and attentive.

Ate here 3 times. Probably the best vegan food in La Paz plus they have plenty of vegetarian and meat options for everyone too. I always got the nomad vegan sadwhich which is their best entre. Also tried the tofu scramble and enmoladadas. Their smoothies and juices are amazing, tried a few different ones and they're all highly recommended. They sell hard to find organic grocery items too which were helpful for cooking in our airbnb. Fantastic service 👌 plus they have a very nice dog that our kids fell in love with

The vegan options here are so tasty and so filling! We came here for brunch twice on our trip and loved it both times. Great friendly service and really yummy flavors! The pesto in the vegan sandwich is just so good! Lots of avocado in it too makes for a 10/10 veggie sandwich that isn't lacking in satisfaction whatsoever!

We had Al pastor taco’s with cheese and grilled shrimp tacos. The food was unbelievable. They bring you the basic tacos and you load them up the way you line with the different salsas and sides you have available to you on your table. This place is great. They don’t really have a menu, you can order anything the way you like it and they will cook it for you (Mexican food of course)

Don't get me wrong...the food was excellent...service is fantastic...my issue was paying above American prices in Mexico...$120 USD for breakfast is ridiculous for 6 people. 9 of us recently had breakfast in Mazatlan and were under 100 USD, granted 6 were Mexican citizens... I personally won't return because of that pricing but I also can't put this establishment down because the food and service are great. The owner really needs to have pricing attached to the menu...this is a great way to lose gringo business.

Amazing place, seeing it evolve to what it is now is awesome! New doors installed to keep heat and flies out with air conditioning! I’ve been steady coming here every time I visit algodones (5-7 times a year) for the last 15 years Molca the owner runs the show and is very pleasant, makes sure you’re served and treated right. He is also known to help locals out that cannot afford food themselves Much better meat quality and flavor than the places that are close to him. It’s always my goto and has been consistent ! Great selection of snacks and sauces when you order as well! DEFINALY try the breaded fish tacos ! My favorite there !!!!

Starts with chips, 2 salsas, green sauce and white sauce. Also a plate of shredded cabbage, pico de gallo and a bunch of cucumber chips.

If you're planning a culinary adventure in Ensenada, make sure to include 240 Grill on your itinerary. This hidden gem is nestled within a charming plaza filled with artisan shops and eateries, offering an inviting atmosphere that perfectly complements its innovative menu. After a scenic six-hour motorcycle ride from San Felipe, I discovered this delightful spot thanks to Yelp, and it truly exceeded my expectations. At 240 Grill, you'll find an array of delicious tacos and unique Mexican dishes that push the boundaries of traditional flavors.
Delicious Tacos and mexican food in non-typical varieties. These guys try always something new and play with new combinations in order to create new experiences for their customers! The barbecue approach is surprising new. Go and see/taste by yourself!

Good not great. It came highly recommended, I had high expectations going in. The food is pretty for sure, though a little repetitive. I found the flavor a little flat and too oily, and while eating I had the impression as if everything was "missing something." It is good enough, not great.. for the price as a local I expected more, and a better flavor variety. Might return if invited as part of a group, I definitely wouldn't as a go-to spot. I've had better in town, even in hole-in-the-wall type spots..

If you're a foodie making a stop in Ensenada put this on your "must eat" list. There are a few other good restaurants in this building so it's a great stop and there's a parking lot. The cucumber agua Fresca was the best I've had and the 240 ceviche rates top 5 small plates of all time. Go!

Taco Surf is an impressive establishment that serves delicious tacos and tortas. The torta bread is exceptionally light, fluffy, and has a crispy exterior. Their homemade salsa strikes the perfect balance between mild and spicy flavors. The menu may be limited, offering choices between a torta or taco with options of pastor or carne asada fillings. Simplicity is their mantra.
So good! We had dinner tonight and loved it. The carne and pastor were so flavorful and delicious! We got tacos, quesidillas, quesatacos and burritos. Such a great deal too for the five of us! It would have been twice as much in the states. They were so friendly and sweet.

Santo Chilote is a must-visit spot in Todos Santos, Baja for an authentic fish taco experience. While their fish tacos are the star of the show, this restaurant offers much more. From aguachile to ceviche, there's a variety of seafood dishes to indulge in. Not just limited to seafood, their avocado tacos are highly recommended for vegans and anyone looking for a unique taco experience.
Fantastic! During our month-long stay in Todos Santos, this became our go-to taco spot, more than any other. We explored a variety of places, but this one stood out for its perfect balance of great drinks, delicious tacos, good vibes, reasonable prices, and excellent service. The only caution? Their hot sauce is seriously intense—it’s taken down more than a few of my friends!

This isn't remotely like a white tablecloth place; it's wonderful for lunch and a drink...(edit)...or two 😀 We enjoyed the breaded avocado tacos. My wife ate hers as a taco and I treated it like a croquette. Don't come here and not order it! The fish tacos were simply fresh fish on a tortilla and we used the humble looking condiments station to season them. The pickled onions were not heavily cooked and we're nicely seasoned. No aftertaste! I rarely drink tequila straight, but we had a shot on ice and with a splash of lime. I could become a convert. The shrimp ceviche tacos had a lot of cucumbers in them and that's different than what I'm used to. But the ceviche was perfect. They get casks of tequila made just for them and I've never seen that before. Come on by. It's pretty here and you won't be disappointed.

Tacos + Salsas + Service = 💯 Why you should absolutely eat here: 1. Selection/variation of tacos - We tried pescado (fish), camaron (shrimp), and pulpo (octopus) el pastor style with little slices of pineapple. The el pastor take on fish tacos was a welcomed variation. We also had camaron coco tacos which were so perfectly prepared. 2. The toppings/salsas were on point! - After they serve you tacos, you are welcome to head up to the window to serve your heart's content. There is a cabbage slaw, cucumbers, salsa de molcajete, fresh mango/habenero salsa, pico de gallo, and a mango escabeche salsa. The chefs were so nice about recommending which salsa pairs best with which tacos. They also didn't mind you filling your plate with all the options. 3. The service - So friendly, patient, and attentive. Anything and everything we needed was taken care of. The people who run this spot truly love it and care for their customers in a way that shows it.

These were the best tacos I have ever had. If this was the last meal I had in my life, I would be content. I got the grilled pulpo, smoked tuna, and coco shrimp.they also make their own tepache and the pineapple salsa and habanero sauce were 10/10. This place is excellent

Please don't forget to give this review a like below. A hidden treasure among dozens of taco eateries. We had the shrimp cocktail, chips, and guacamole. Lots of side adds spicy and not so spicy. Love the pineapple salsa for the chips. They don't speak much English but we still managed well. Had choice of Modelo or Corona beer even though they had others on the menu. The large shrimp wasn't deveined but not a big deal. Loved the outdoor environment. The large water fountain (run by the city) added the sound of running waters in the background. We would have enjoyed to have a little Mexican music playing in the background but not a deal breaker. They practice Covid-19 restaurant sanitation. We highly recommend this little eatery and will return again soon.

Tacos El Muelle in Guerrero Negro is a savior for people living in a town with limited food options. Even travelers passing through should make it a point to stop at this food truck. The crowd of tourists and locals waiting outside the silver truck parked in the carpark speaks volumes about the quality of their fish and shrimp tacos. These tacos are made fresh, with raw ingredients stored in bins, then battered and fried upon order.
Came here two years ago and thought the fish tacos were amazing. We’ve been travelling Mexico since and haven’t found any that came close. Finally returned today & they’re just as good as we remembered !! You are encouraged to wash your hands there before eating. Seemed extremely clean & hygienic.

The shrimp taco's were so good! I discovered this place in the Moon travel book about Baja and I'm glad I didn't eat much for breakfast so I could enjoy the shrimp tacos :) It's easy.

My friend who had done the trip before made me promise to eat at a local taco truck and the Google reviews were pretty convincing too. It was here at Tacos El Muelle that we had the best fish tacos of our entire trip! It’s Official!! First of all they were done in minutes so thinking maybe they get prep cooked and then finished upon order for a crisp, next level flavorful taco. The salsa bar was so diverse and delicious and you ate on a bench right by the truck, it was perfect. Still thinking about those tacos! At that point I wasn’t sure we’d have a truly stand out fish taco in a parade of great fish tacos but these stood out in ways we couldn’t really put into words.
