I stopped by The Taco Stand in San Diego and it was awesome. I got the Carne Asada and Al Pastor tacos, and both were super flavorful and smelled amazing. They have a separate sauce bar so you can load up on salsa and toppings however you want, which I loved. I also grabbed some churros, and they literally fry them right in front of you. They were super crispy, warm, and crazy good. Definitely worth a visit if you’re nearby!

quite possibly the best fish taco i’ve ever had. al pastor was *not* cooked well & the carne asada was fine, but i’d go back just for the fish tacos. salsas were perfect. we waited a VERY long time — which is a great sign — but, i highly recommend going before you’re veryyyy hungry. :))

My friend and I got here at a perfect time because the line became out the door shortly after we arrived! We sat at the bar waiting for our food, mouth watering because we could see how everything was being made from scratch. I got the Baja fish taco, the grilled shrimp taco, and the carne asada taco. When I sat down, I spotted the Al pastor meat on the spit, and I asked a worker there if that was the Al pastor, and she said yes. I told her “wow that looks really good” and she got me a free Al pastor taco! That was seriously the nicest thing and totally above and beyond! We talked for a little while and she ended up being the general manager there, and I watched her and the others work and they were all crushing it. All of the tacos I got were incredible and the sauces were amazing. My fri

not that this place needs anymore reviews but it has the best fish and shrimp tacos! their selection of salsas is great and their tortillas are so soft. the line is almost always down the block so if you plan on going be prepared for that!

This might just be the place to experience truly authentic tacos. Every topping is available in unlimited portions, and each one tastes incredibly fresh, adding layers of flavour to every bite. The tacos I ordered were absolutely mouth-watering; perfectly prepared, vibrant, and bursting with freshness. I would highly, highly recommend this spot to anyone who loves genuine Mexican flavours. Even the churros stood out; they were exceptionally soft, warm, and beautifully made. One thing to keep in mind: each order comes with one taco. But trust me, the quality, taste, and freshness make every single one worth every penny.
