A few days ago, my partner and I ordered delivery from here - shredded beef burrito bowl, carne asada taco, and chips & guac. We liked it so much we tried again tonight for the taco Tuesday deal ($1.25 each) and got a bunch of corn tacos: carne asada, carnitas, al pastor, birria, along with chips & guac and salsa. We did pickup this time because the online delivery services don't reflect the taco tuesday deal. The cashier was friendly and patient, and the food came out super quickly - less than 10 minutes! Both times, the food has been absolutely scrumptious! My partner and I are really picky about meat texture (i.e. fat and connective tissue), but every meat we've tried has been perfectly tender. The guac is also deliciously lime-y, just how I like it The only gripe I have is that both times, the chips have been mostly stale. We'll probably skip on those next time.

Every time I go to 11.30 pm, it is closed. When technically it closes 12 pm. Anyway, what is the schedule?

Great fish tacos, street tacos, and just tried the Burrito bowl super yummy and great for low carb just ask for extra veggies no rice or beans or go light on them.

I actually was starting to like this place. But they kept messing up my orders. And didn't even care to fix it. Other than that the food is good

This spot is great. I think they had a different taco shop here before tacaliente so people avoided it but it’s worth trying again. The chefs put effort into their product which isn’t common across all taco shops in San Diego. Everything is cooked perfectly and assembled with care. They are quick and standard cost. Great salsa. The meat quality is great and the tortillas are soft and cooked to perfection. I’ve eaten here 4 days in a week before. Highly recommend.

The food is great. The prices are very high. I think they charge so much because of the area, but us locals return when the prices match the purchase. $16 for a CA burrito. Yikes! Parking: WALK
