My husband and I happened to be in the area and wanted to try the guisados. We’re vegetarian so the 3 veg taco options (potato, cauliflower, mushrooms) available were the only things we could order apart from a bean and cheese burrito. The menu does change daily I believe, which for a restaurant preparing fresh local and “small batch” should have a revolving menu based on ingredients available and what’s seasonal. At $4 per taco, it’s not expensive, but not cheap. We’re used to paying more for vegetables than meat everywhere anyways! I found the tacos on the salty side but still finished my meal. The taco filling portions were generous and the tortilla was delicious—-you can tell they’re handmade and fresh. Considering how juicy they are, maybe double up on the tortilla? Mine instantly fel

I am in love with this little spot! The food is absolutely delicious!!! Fantastic homemade tacos and super tasty guisados. And the staff made such a huge impression on me! They were kind and patient while we drooled over the selections and tried to make our decisions. Each filling was carefully explained. No one made fun of my bad/incorrect pronunciation. They interacted with us with pride and care. Even though we were standing outside the shop eating, a staff member came out to check on us and chat a bit. The chef himself even popped his head out to see if we were doing okay. We had a great "snack" and walked away feeling so good about the entire experience. Kudos to the chefs, farmers and all the people who were involved! This will definitely be tops on my list on my next visit to San Di

Very simple, but delicious menu. The options are posted on a blackboard, as you step up to order, the man behind the counter is very friendly and helpful. I chose the chile verde burrito and a guava flavored, agua fresca as my drink. The burrito was delicious, I should've ordered two, or a couple of tacos to add to my order. I definitely recommend this little gem. Very limited indoor seating, a few outdoor tables are available as well.

Chef Juan González has created the most amazing “hole in the wall” sort of restaurant with the boldest and most beautiful flavors one can find in all of San Diego county. Guisados aren’t a common restaurant fare in our SD taco shop scene, but places like Super Cocina have been delivering for decades. Consider Mesa to be the upgrade to Super Cocina, stuffing guisados into homemade tortillas with optional rich Oaxacan cheese. We took home what seemed to be a delicious looking chocolate chip cookie, and wow - I don’t know what kind of gingerbread lover this cookie had, but the flavors were incredible and the cookie rivaled those baked at my favorite bakeries. Plus!! - the agua fresca flavors were unique and layered, loved both of the choices for the day. We don’t live near here at all (25 min

★★★★★ 5.0 Jamie · Feb 2026

The bomb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Service was impeccable, I loved all the recommended tacos I tried. The tacos were bigger than I thought with all the scrumptious toppings and seasoned so well. Both the corn tortillas and flour tortillas were so well made (freshly cooked) and the flavors and textures were just 👌!! The final touches with pickled onion, pumpkin seeds, and sesame seeds were also perfection. Honestly the best quality tacos I’ve had after searching for good tacos in San Diego for a year. Finally we found legit guisado tacos!!! (Vegetarian and vegan options available. The vegetarian papas taco was soooo good!!! So much flavors!!)
