Food was amazing. The burrito was very much worth the prize, portion size was huge.

Super kind in the drive thru and I love the char on the carne asada. Delicious! The hot sauce comes in bags though which is different so prep yourself for that and you're good. At least to go it is bagged.

The food here is always amazing! The burritos are huge and absolutely delicious. On top of that, the service is quick and the restaurant is always clean. We will definitely be back!

I found this place by accident while walking to Jack in the Box. But I had been wanting to try some fish tacos in California, and yeah, this place has fish tacos. It has amazing fish tacos. They're six bucks each and they're huge. The fish are in breaded chunks, and there's a lot of fish on these tacos. This is a 24 hour place, and most people sit outside. The folks in the kitchen deserve a shout-out. Most seating is outside. The menu is huge. And of course in Carlsbad, the weather is always perfect for outside seating. Update: I went back the next day and got a breakfast burrito. It's as big as a house. I give this place an A+

First time here and we are pretty picky to find authentic tasting food. This was pretty good. Best we've found so far in North county area. Chicken chimichanga and carnitas tacos, very big portion sizes, fresh ingredients, cooked well. We will be returning to try more! Also some inside and outside seating. Private locked bathroom. TVs. Update: Our absolute favorite! And 24hr drive through. Favorites: Chicken abodada burrito, carnitas tacos, beef tacos, carnitas tacos!!! We prefer chicken and carnitas over the steak. That's the only thing that we wish was more seasoned.

Such incredible fish tacos! I have been here many times, since I was a teen, but someone recommended the fish tacos to me. They were huge and filled me up. I also tried the shredded beef burrito whcu was so delicious. I would order both again. They also have great Cali friends, but we didn't order them this time.

Our experience was wonderful! The food is always excellent! I can't wait to go back! You truly should open an actual dine in restaurant, then open one in Charleston, SC! I miss your food since I moved away from Carlsbad. I had the #5 and my kids had the surf and turf burrito and the shredded beef burrito. They were so tasty. You really make top notch Mexican food an I appreciate it. I've been coming to this building since, it was my favorite, Bakers Tacos!

Taco Shop 101…. The iconic idealism of what a SoCal taco shop is…. Great food… Decent pricing… Good variety of choices… Authentic taste… Great taco shop vibe… Winner winner taco combo dinner. The taco shells were on point crispy, light and had great bite. the meat was seasoned well. Great amount of cheese and lettuce… The beans were just perfectly cooked and had great flavor. The rice was classic mexican rice taste and was not dry or flavorless. The enchiladas were delicious and the sauce had a perfect mix of tomato and seasoning. The breakfast burrito was big and was packed full of flavor. Plenty of seating… Drive thru.. Fast ordering.. Quick service… Close to beach… This is a great classic taco shop spot.

It’s a taco shop, so I used to live right next to this place when it was another taco shop dive. It’s was my favorite kinda taco shop, sketchy but never got sick. Now it’s a bit nicer looking so I was apprehensive that the food would be any good. They did not disappoint. I have been eating hardshell beef tacos since I was a little kid and these were some of the best I’ve had. Super crispy and the meat was almost smooth, if that makes sense. Their beans tasted like good old school refried beans. The green salsa in the pump! All on point.

First time here. Came with friends who love it. We got the christian fries, asada fries with egg and bacon! WOW! So good. Also got the surf n turf burrito. I would of got with with out the rice but it was super good!

Great and super fast service. Ordered chicken rolled tacos and they were delicious! A little more expensive than other Mexican establishments but definitely good food. They have open seating outside. Great location, right off the freeway.

You can’t go wrong with ordering the steak and egg breakfast burrito. I sometimes order extra meat which is 6$ more (not great). The portion is great even if you don’t order extra meat. The salsa verde is fantastic. The salsa rojo is not for the weak.

Been here a few times and food is usually very good and you get big portions. However for those of us who don't eat big or are on a budget it would be nice to be able to get half portions. Like 1/2 a quesadilla. They wanted to charge me extra for the same amount of product because we wanted a half and half quesadilla. 😒 Doesn't seem like good customer service for a simple request. And fries should be cook longer to have a nice crisp to them not soggy like heat lamp heat

Hearty portions, good salsas, fast friendly service. And super cute vibe as a little fast food taco shop.

Only restaurant I’ve found with real fried eggs in the christian burrito, which is the only reason i go here. They offer “enchilada style” on any burrito which is also a plus. And they’re open 24 hrs which is awesome. Unfortunately this is where the positives end. They use weak paper containers for food, especially if I order enchilada style it rips through while eating in my car just from pressure of eating and falls out easily. They also use paper straws which feel weird. They’re a few bucks more expensive than other places, especially with add-ons. They only offer green salsa and their own made orange salsa (no red or anything else) and i don’t enjoy either so I have to use a salsa at home this is usually the dealbreaker for me. The food is inconsistent sometimes it’s great other times it seems like it’s been sitting or something. They can never hear me when i’m ordering through the speaker.

No frills Mexican. Gets the job done at almost undetectably higher prices give it’s Carlsbad Village Dr location. This is not the Mexican joints you grew up eating at. Salsa in a little sealed bag? Come on. A+ for innovation but yours expelled for messing with the San Diego Mexican food legacy. Best attribute is they stay open 24 hours. That’s some deep SD MEXICAN FOOD RESPECT!!!

The food was great but the girl taking orders was flat out mean and obviously didn't want to be there it seems. We walked in and she didn't even greet us. Then we were ready to order and she literally stared at us until I asked if I could order. It was brutal but once we got all 5 orders in we went outside to sit. Atmosphere was nice and the tables were clean. They have a customer bathroom which was clean too. Food was very good and portions were big. The green salsa was so good! I think we would return and hope the cashier girl is gone by then!

Not sure how but the tortilla chips were a real miss, no salt and taste like burnt nothingness. I love rice and beans but why ruin them with green beans, peas and corn? Surf and turf burrito okay meat tastes a little burnt. I live walking distance and I’ve passed this place a million times and finally decided to try it but I don’t think I’ll go back honestly. Great people and fast service but food could use a little love but pretty much what I expected from a 24/7 Mexican Spot.

This is my second time here, the first time was great I asked for spicy mayo sauce for my tacos and the guy was very cool & gave me a little container, now this is my second time coming and getting the same thing- a guy named JULIO wants to charge me for it. I paid the .75 cents but it ruined my experience coming here, and probably won’t return. Enjoy the .75 cents- way too many other drive thru Mexican places around to support. Seemed irritated to be working there, Bad customer service from Julio..

I think this is my first food review ever online just because I have to tell people that are spending good hard earned money Spent $17 on carne Asada nachos and the carne Asada is like a 1/16 inch flat tiny square piece of steak that’s overly well-done which doesn’t make sense on a Saturday night when there’s six cars in the drive thru most likely obviously because nothing else is available but Jack-in-the-Box at this time of night in this area. So I went through the drive-through again and let them know that they’re supposedly Carne Asada is very thin and dry and they really didn’t care explained that some cooks cut it really small but it had no thickness to it at all. It was like disgusting so I took the nachos home for the dog ….$17 dog food The cheese looks really good on top of it all and underneath the thin top layer it’s all just dry chips all for $17 so I give this place a one out of 5 only because the food was actually warm. Ugh Dry mound of chips.

Came here during my work break, had to use the restroom first though. After 5 minutes a worker was violently trying to get in, a few minutes later they were banging on the door and trying to manually unlock the bathroom while cursing at me in Spanish and yelling to get a key. I finish after a total of like 10 minutes and the guy is cursing me in Spanish as I walk past him. I did not really want to stay for food after that. Don't recommend if you have ibs or any other digestive issues cause if you're in there longer than 5 minutes you've apparently committed a crime. Awful service considering they cussed me out, can't comment on the food since I didn't stay for it.

Ordered at drive-thru. Repeated back order correctly. Asked again at window what my order was, and still got the wrong food. And when I called to talk to someone about it, they wouldn’t give me their name. And told me to bring food back in morning to get my money back, how ridiculous ! JUST KEEP DRIVING

You guys need to do something about the tortas. For the price, they are unacceptable. I payed 19$ for a torta, fries, and a drink. The fries had no salt at all. The torta was just meat, onions, lettuce, tomato, and bread. Thats it. No cheese or sour cream and it falls apart in the container before it even gets to you. And you better hurry to eat it because it will get soggy in about 5 minutes. How in the hell is 19$ an acceptable price? What delusional man is in charge of the prices? I would barely pay 10$ for this meal. Whoever owns this restaurant, go buy the torta and try it. I dare you. What an embarrassment. The only reason I even ordered the torta is because the last time I ordered the cali burrito they out stale fries in it!
