We stopped here on our way from San Diego to Palm Springs. Total gem! Everything was so fresh...best guacamole I've ever had! I ordered the Pollo and the Cauliflower. Truly, wonderfully delicious! The hostess was very welcoming and gave us a sample of the one drink that I wasn't familiar with. The chef brought out our order...he was so nice as well. Great place!

Amazing tacos with just the right amount of unique ingredients that it doesn’t venture into “fusion”. Great presentation and value. My favorites are the Coco Loco (coconut shrimp) and the Borrego (lamb).

Every bite I had here was packed with flavor, creativity, and serious attention to detail. I tried three tacos — the Surf and Turf, the Borrego, and the Coco — and I honestly can’t pick a favorite because each one brought something incredible to the table. The Surf and Turf was rich and satisfying — tender steak and perfectly cooked shrimp, layered with fresh toppings and just the right amount of heat. It was indulgent, balanced, and beautifully executed. The Borrego (lamb) taco was fall-apart tender and full of deep, savory flavor. It’s bold, earthy, and feels like something you'd find at a high-end restaurant — only better, because it’s wrapped in a tortilla. Then came the Coco. Unexpected, tropical, and absolutely delicious. The coconut element added a hint of sweetness that elevated the entire taco without overpowering it. It's one of the most unique tacos I’ve ever had — and it totally works. The vibe inside is fun and laid-back, the staff is friendly and clearly passionate about the food, and the menu is full of exciting options that make it impossible not to come back for more. If you’re in or near Escondido and you don’t stop here, you’re doing tacos wrong. 5 stars, no question. 5/5, no hesitation. I’ll be back. Probably tomorrow.

10 out of 10! My friend brought me here when I came to visit her in Escondido and the tacos were AMAZING!!! I loved the pork and the breakfast tacos. My friend say she gets the lamb every time. Prices were fantastic and portions were very generous. Dog friendly tables on the back patio made it a really fun place to stop by while we had the pups on the car. It's been two weeks and I'm still thinking about these tacos lol! Go try them!

What does Pac-Man put on his tacos? Guacauacauacauacauacauacauacauamole. What’s not a joke is how amazing these tacos tasted. First time here and we are definitely going back! Service was great too! We enjoyed the vegan tacos 🌮

Gourmet tacos at its finest. We come here every Friday night. Quick service, great prices, and great food. Parking is a little tight due to its location. We have never had a disappointing meal here. Service is always friendly. Did I mention they have beer?

These are the best tacos I've had in my entire life. They were arhentic and so beautifully balanced with bursting flavors and warm touches. We had three tacos each. The juneshine kumbacha is fantastic, and we had three glasses of the horchada. The service was welcoming, approachable, and so very friendly. Didn't get the name of the cook, but wow, I wish I would have.

This place was great! Amazing customer service and the food was seriously delicious. I have the pescado taco. The one with strawberry on it and it was the best fish taco I have had in years. The fusion of flavors broke my mouth it was so good. My tastebuds were dancing and singing with delight. Salsa and chips were also super tasty. 10/10 would visit again.

**Update 2021** Still one of the best places to get a dank taco. I've been a vegetarian for ever - and have tried vegetarian tacos all over the country - this place is in the top 1% for certain. Updated this review with some fresh photos from today in February 2021. --- This place is truly amazing. Fantastic vegan and vegetarian tacos, nice staff and a good location. A very nice beer and wine list as well.

7/10 super good food, but the nice waitress was taking orders, cooking (she disappeared into the back so not sure but she was gone for a while so seems likely) delivering the orders, and pouring beers/drinks alone. The bar taps also attracted a lot of fruit flys. There are no major complaints, but I feel bad for the waitress, who was apparently working alone.

If I didn't find a beard hair in my taco it would have gotten 5 stars. Also when I went to use the restroom, the last person didnt flush and I was out of toilet paper on the roll, Luckily there was an extra one on the window seal. Also the bathroom needs to be having some kind of repairs considering how much they are charging for 3 tacos and their horchata, the overall total was $25.48. $3.95 for their horchata, if it was a larger cup size I would understand getting charged almost $4 because thats what other mexican restaurants do. Would it come here on a date? Maybe. Of course if i had the funds to do so. Other than that I would eat there again, definitely NOT dinning in. Also my surf and turf taco i didnt taste any shrimp, it was more steak. Shrimp taco and the adobo pollo were Pretty pretty pretty good! Just somethings to note.

Been driving by this place for years and finally got to come in and try it. The menu looks so appealing and everything reads like it would be so good. But in all honestly, I didn't think very highly of their food.. We walked in and the restaurant had a very out dated and halfway trendy vibe to it. We odered at the counter right when you walk in. The women who took our order was very friendly and kind. We ordered the following tacos.. Blackened Mahi Mahi, the Fisherron, El Pescado, a Carne Asada, carnitas, and Chilie Relleno as well as an horchata. The Blackened Mahi Mahi was seasoned with a lot of spicy, it was too spicy and not in a pleasant way.. The Fisherron had a nice crunch and good seasoning to it. El Pescado was also fried nicely but the strawberry inside the taco was very foreign for me if I'm being honest. But it made for a more fresh flavor so I understand why people would enjoy it. The Carne Asada taco loaded with toppings.. everything fell out in the first bite and the meat was dry. Carnitas tacos were sweat with a spicy salsa that was honestly not an exciting combination.. The Chile Relleno I was most excited for. But there was no chile.. :/ I bit into it and it was just fried cheese.. no pepper inside.. When I took a bite out of each taco, it was pretty good but the more I ate the more unsatisfying the tacos were.. We had just come from the gym so I ate what I could to be satisfied. The food all came out warm, not hot or fresh and the tortillas also grew displeasurable the more I ate each taco. I dont know, it's hard to explain but the meal went from okay to bad.. and the missing chille was just unacceptable.. not even a cheese pull :( I did very much enjoy the horchata though. It was well made. Overall I think their spin on tacos is cute but also comical.. not for me though.
