Our bartender at Duck Foot recommended Karina’s, so I walked over to order takeout California burritos, then upgraded one to the Bomb burrito when I saw the menu. It was huge but definitely worth it for the added taquito crunch inside! Super friendly staff, quick service, delicious food. Through no fault of their own, their indoor dining area became an intolerable echo chamber because a toddler was shrieking at the top of his lungs at one of the tables. My ear is still ringing next day. Thankfully there were a couple nice outdoor tables as well.

Great little spot for authentic Mexican food. I had the Baja shrimp and fish tacos, which were tasty. The service was friendly and fast. I can’t wait to try some of the other items on their menu. Parking can be a challenge, so I recommend parking across the street on the dirt.

We ordered the ceviche tostada’s to take with us to the beach and they did not disappoint. They gave us two large to-go containers of shrimp ceviche with Xtra sides of tostadas, plates, forks and napkins. We got to the beach set up and relaxed with our ceviche in hand. It was delicious and we highly recommend this adorable little spot in Encinitas. The burritos and tacos looked amazing as well. #ceviche #karinastacos #encinitas #fivestars

Best Carnitas (pictured) in San Diego IMHO! The atmoshpere reminds me of taco shops South of the border. There is seating for 12 outside, 12 inside and 6 on the rear deck. I’ve always received great service here too as the staff brings your food out to you when its ready (at least when it’s not super busy). Great salsa as well!

Oh. My. Gosh. These tacos are the best I’ve ever had. I ordered the Baja fish, carne asada, and carnitas tacos. They were absolutely amazing. They have earned their spot on the boardwalk of Encinitas. They also offer burritos, enchiladas, tortas, tostadas and soups.

My sister and I tested tacos from Karina’s, Kotija’s and La Especial one right after another last night, and Karina’s was easily the best. I had the carne asada tacos and my sister had carnitas. The staff is friendly, the tacos are incredible and the atmosphere is quaint. Come here first and you won’t be disappointed.
