Probably the best tacos at the moment in San Diego for the quality, consistency and price point. Go for the carne asada tacos and cabeza tacos

I only tried the tacos de adobada and mulita de birria. Both stuffed with juicy meat, onion, cilantro, etc. Mini salsa bar with lime and radish, and sodas on ice. Nice taqueros and little seating area, and youre all set to enjoy right there in the shade.

This taco truck is bomb. My favorite to get from there is Lengua, Cabeza, and Tripa. Everything on it. Just two of each and youre good. Others will like the Adobada and Carne Asada. One of the best taco joints Ive eaten at.

By far the best tacos Ive had since I moved to San Diego 4 years ago. I come here 25 times a week just to satisfy the craving. They dont have a wide variety, but what they do have they make to perfection. So much flavor in such a little taco. P.S. if you like cheese, get a mulitas.
