Tapioca Express

Food and drink is always great. But we normally prefer take out. Just not a place to hange out.

Great boba drinks! Liked the spicy chicken and rice with a fried egg with some basil on it. It's a cool hangout place. This is usually my go to place.

It's been years but Cassandra K. was the worst cashier I've ever had dealt with. Bad attitude all around

Best fried chicken in San Diego at specifically this Tap Ex (they vary). Impossible to park, so use side streets. Boba is good but not great, but honestly so many nostalgic memories w the boba drinks that love it anyways. The only boba place that it's nice to just sit in for hours, like a coffee shop, because the lights aren't super bright. So it's not an only take-out, modern, trendy new Chinese place, it's just nice to hang. Inexpensive lunch menu and snacks, and if you buy the meal you get a free tea or 1/2 off a boba drink. Huge drink menu. K-pop videos and music playing in the background, sometimes from 2005? Love ! Vegetarian options: Fried tofu (amazing), fries. Kid-friendliness: Huge so lots of space for kids to do whatever chaotic things they do. Wheelchair accessibility: Double doors that (I think) can open with someone else's assistance, and large space to use chair to go to counter, tables, etc.

Quality control, please. I ordered crispy chicken and fried tofu. Both were overcooked, and I couldn't even put them in my mouth. It was too hard, what a disappointment.

Best Thai tea snow bubble, literally every sip of so flavorful. Ive been to so many places in San Diego and nothing beats thier Thai tea. We always get the side of chicken popcorn and it’s fresh every single time.

Mango yogurt frost is very good as expected. They didn’t put fresh mango on top though :(. Popcorn chicken is spicy standard, exactly as expected

Closed on Mondays. We've been coming here for years. This was the hotspot to study and hang out with friends. It's slowed way down since those old days, but the Boba is still amazing. We always love getting either the chicken snack or chicken meal. Even the calamari is good, but something about the chicken is so much better. The meal comes with rice, ground beef mix, pickled vegetables, broccoli, and a fried egg. Medium spice is not really spicy. The meals come with a drink as well. I've tried almost every drink on the menu, and they are all good. Milk teas, snow bubbles, and so much more. Service is usually always good here. When they get busy, it might be a hit or miss. But this place holds so many memories for us. Parking sucks. Just park in the street and walk up.
