As a San Diego native, the downtown location of The Taco Stand absolutely delivers. The food is consistently fresh, bold, and true to what great tacos here should taste like—from the perfectly marinated carne asada to the handmade tortillas and standout salsas. The service is fast, friendly, and efficient, even when it’s busy, which makes it an easy go-to in the heart of downtown. It feels authentically San Diego every time

It’s great to have authentic tacos here in DTSD. The food is amazing here and the stuffs are so friendly, that it almost feels like you were in Mexico. The music rhyme is the fresh will have a delay experience here!

Can’t express how much I love the food here!!! I have been missing San Diego for all those years because of the California burrito!!! The wrapping is freshly made so it’s stretchy and the beef is juicy. Everything come together perfectly and the portion is no joke! Can’t finish it even at a starving night! Also tried Al pastor and the steak taco today. The roasted pork is so good!!! The steak taco was outshined. Definitely try the Al pastor taco!

This is amazing! Probably one of the best tacos we’ve ever had. We were there on a Friday afternoon and it was crowded. It’s that good. The El Pastor tacos were awesome. Great taste tender meat and the homemade tortillas just hit it out of the park. We can’t wait till our next visit.

I have lived in the Los Angeles area most of my life and boast about the Mexican Cuisine that I have been exposed to and have enjoyed over the years, but my recent trip to San Diego's B St. " The Taco Stand", location blew my mind on how good their Tacos, Burritos, and condiments taste. My companion and I ate at that establishment for three consecutive days. What a winning team and product.

We had the California Burrito and pollo asada tacos. Also plenty of different salsas to choose from in store. Overall a delicious taco spot

First time visiting the area. Based on others reviews I went for a late lunch. More of a fast food setup rather than restaurant style. I got the Mexican corn and one grilled fish taco. The portion size was filling as not to be over full, but if you're really hungry, two tacos would be satisfying. Tasted delicious! All the ingredients tasted fresh. In the back there's a little bar with additional toppings. The service was welcoming and friendly. Less than 5-minute wait for the food although it didn't get busy until after I ordered. In observing, it didn't look like people had to wait very long for their food. You have the option to sit inside or outside. There was a nice breeze, although there is traffic passing by but it wasn't disruptive. There's authentic music playing inside. The bathroom is very clean. And to top it all off, you get a free fountain drink if you give a Google review. I would highly recommend this establishment for authentic fresh, Mexican food.

Absolutely delicious! I had the best al pastor taco and a chorizo and egg breakfast burrito whose size was WELL worth the price - easily 2-3 small meals in one. Fantastic and friendly service. Immaculate vibes (though crowded when busy on a Saturday afternoon like it was). Will be back asap!

This place really has made to order fresh tortillas for every taco and they’re not flimsy or the small street taco taco this is a proper size tortilla, and they fill it. I ordered Carne Asada and the steak pieces were thick and juicy and I also ordered Al pastor which in my opinion could’ve been seasoned a little more and was a little dry compared to Carne Asada steak but all in all it was great, they do have a salsa bar at the far back of The place but overall a good place to eat. Would go again. Also, one of the salsa was just amazing. It was very acidic and it gave a good balance to the tacos. I’m gonna include the picture in here.

I ordered Al Pastor, Baja, and fries for a side dish. They tasted so amazing. I especially love Al pastor. Very flavorful. The fish in Baja is fresh but I hope there could be more salsa inside. I put some extra and it tasted even better. Fries were amazing. Hot and fresh. I couldn’t stop to eat. The service is good. Seeing I was looking for forks, one man stepped forward to help. That was really nice.

The Taco Stand is busy. We went twice while visiting San Diego and both times there was a wait, but a wait worth it! We had fish tacos, carne asada, and Nopal tacos. Everything is made fresh, …

I got the Al Pastor and Carne Asada tacos. I appreciated the options at the salsa bar, as it allowed for a personal choice for mix of bites. The tortilla was good and tasted freshly made. Overall the meat was a little dry, but the added condiments made it better. However our order took a long while to be completed, they accept a lot of online orders. Overall, would come back again.

Tacos were alright. Definitely not the best. Multiple tacos were added without asking. I said one pork taco & one chicken, somehow he added 2 of each!! Salsas were good. Cactus & mushroom tacos were bad! Meat wasn’t tender. Overall 7/10.

Mark Savoca

We stopped at The Taco Stand for lunch and tried the California burrito — it was excellent: large, filling, and full of flavor. We also ordered chips and guacamole, which were very good. They offer several salsas ranging from mild to hot, so there’s something for everyone. Overall, a great lunch stop.

$16 for two cold small carne street tacos! If they were good I would have probably just said oh well expensive but love it along. These were so drowned in guacamole you couldn't taste anything else…

The mist overpriced menu in any airport I have been to … $9 for a handful of tortilla chips - come on ?! Does ownership really need to achieve this level of profit margin ?

Seems like long waiting line does not mean good food here, just bad management. After waiting 40 mins in the Q to order, I was told it would take ANOTHER 40 mins to prepare. Everyone's waiting were very annoyed with their policy. My phone battery ran out while i waited and i requested if i could charge for 5 minutes as I needed it to get home but NOPE. Well does the food blow your mind? No. The veg tacos were very average. The only good thing here were the sauces. Save your evenings folks!
