Terrific seasoning for all our meals! Burrito meal had super stuffed tortilla, my street tacos were so full of meat they would not close & rolled pollo tacos were perfectly crispy. We found our family Taco place Highly recommend the adobo

Amazing food. It was my first time eating at this taco shop and I have to say the food was really good. The meat was well seasoned. The carne asada quesadilla was well done and sliced for dipping in hot sauce. Great place to eat if your around the area and located near other stores.

This place is so dang good (grew up in San Diego so easy to tell good from bad Mexican food) and we live close so order often.

Rolled tacos were delish and had lots of toppings over them. Favorite part is the mild green salsa – it’s mild but creamy and flavorful! Shop is small with a few tables.

The place was very clean. Read the service service was excellent.. The Carnegie soda taco plate was was also very good. However, I would not recommend the carnitas plate as the pork was both very dry and bland. The carne asada burrito looked good, however it was stone cold. I suspect it was mistakenly made for a previous order and left to the side until someone else ordered a carne asada burrito, disappointing. That’s the biggest problem with take out. Once you realize your food is not right it’s rarely worth the trouble to drive all the way back to the restaurant to to get it replaced.

I haven’t been here in a long time. Last time I was here, the Taco Shop was in a stand-alone building, 200 ft from the shop now. I talked with the owner for a few minutes. He’s been in the restaurant business since he was about 12 y.o. About 35 years now. He has his head on straight.

I don’t usually write reviews BUT I was craving tacos and this was place suggested to me. Not only were the tacos packed full of meat but both the carne asada and adobada were FIRE!!! Rice and beans were delicious and the salsa was flavorful and spicy. I’ll be back to try other menu items and will recommend this place to anyone craving some bomb Mexican food. A little bit pricier than other places but worth it imo

I experienced the new prices, and while I love their food and been going there for at least 10 years, I believe they may have priced me out of the market. $ 44 for 2 burritos and a combo is a little high for me.

It was a warm and welcoming environment. The food was super flavorful, I got the El Diablo burrito. Definitely recommend

I’m not a tacoshop fan. I actually avoid them all together. It had been many since I had eaten at one and decided to give this spot a chance. I was in for a very pleasant experience. I have visited this this place a few times since my father is at a care facility close by and it is one of the few places I found to be good. The food is very flavorful and fresh. My favorite are the street style tacos. It is close to the TJ Tacos we love
