This is one of the best, simple mexican food eateries around! I used to live in San Diego for 5 years and nothing in SD is better than this little lucky charm. Best quesadillas, burritos, tacos, just like eating in TJ only better than TJ. Horchata for a buck! Everyone that works there is chill and prompt. Buche, carne asada, chorizo, langua, cabeza, al pastor, simple and then just choose how you want it prepared: quesadilla, burrito, or taco. Very cheap and inexpensive and the food comes out hot and fresh. Those of you who don't like spicy foods beware! Their sauces that accompany are spicy but tolerable for me, might want to ask for it on the side. Two very big thumbs up for this place, I plan on going tomorrow night for more! This place definitely deserves more business. Check them out! Open late too!

What Customer’s Say About us

Thank you, thank you my fellow yelpers for steering me to this lovely little truck. Special thanks to my date for insisting on bringing me here on our way back to my house after dinner (as in like RIGHT AFTER) last night. Dollar tacos for dessert??! YES PLEEEZ!

We got four of these perfect two bite snacks to try: al pastor, lengua, carne asada, and pollo. We both thought that the lengua (oh lengua how I wish I had you in my mouth right now!) was the best, but the pastor and pollo were also mmmmmazing! I don't usually order the pollo because it has a tendency to be dry or just boring. This was not the case AT ALL with this chicken. It was moist and juicy with a nice little hint of lemon. I'm not sure if there was a little sauce on it, or just the marinade, but it was mouthwateringly (as in my mouth is watering even now) delicious. I usually top my tacos with onions and cilantro but we asked for it on the side due to my date's aversion to cilantro, and I actually didn't even need those extra flavors at all. The meat by itself with just the hot salsa on top was awesome!

El Chato, I have never said this before (that I can recall), but I can't wait to stick your tiny tacos in my mouth again!!!!!!
