Reviews for The Taco Stand in Encinitas, CA
This is a very popular restaurant. My family and I visited here last week for dinner and were a little overwhelmed by the place.... We waited in a line out the door to place our order, waited another 10-15min for a table, and at least 30min for our food. Theseating is a chaotic free-for-all with people standing over you watching you eat, waiting for your seat. I ordered the fishburrito and it was decent. The sauces/salsa bar can add a little extra flavor to your food, but the condiments were challengingto get (long line at the salsa bar). If I wanted to return, I would try to find a time where this place was not busy. I willnever return during peak hours again. Read more
Definitely lived up to the hype. We loved it! Line out the door, locals eat here too...that's when you know it's good. We... recommend the California burrito, tacos el pastor, and the churros. Fun atmosphere and even better food. Read more
Delish & fresh! Two Uber drivers told us we MUST go to the taco stand so we finally did & were not disappointed! The handmade... corn tortillas paired well with the grilled shrimp & grilled fish. I got the chicken taco on flour tortilla & it was also tasty& filling. The chips & guacamole were perfect. Service was fast & efficient. We enjoyed eating outside on the patio. I?ddefinitely go back next time we?re in town. Read more
I had my first fish taco here? I?m incredibly glad I did! The flavors of the tacos you get here are just superb! I got a... Quesadilla as well which I thought was the best value on the menu. The portion was well sized and I felt it was money wellspent. Once you get your order they have a little bar for toppings and homemade sauces and they all taste fantastic. The churrosare also made in house- delicious! Quotes from friends include -?Wow, this is quite possibly the best guacamole i?ve everhad? -?Can we come back here tomorrow? like seriously?? -?This burrito is incredible? -?I could pass away after this taco? Therestaurant wasn?t the cleanest but I give it a pass because of the sheer volume of people coming in and out. Clearly this is alocal favorite and I can see why. Expect to wait at least 5-10 minutes to order- a bit longer on the weekends. There is indoorand outdoor seating and staff is friendly and busy cooking everything in house! Overall, 10/10 would recommend. I will be back. Read more
I eat here all the time with friends. This is our go-to place for the best tacos in SoCal when they visit from out of town. My... favorite burrito is the California. All the tacos are amazing! Make sure you get at least 3 or 4 to fill you up. Read more
Yes! Just yes! Was wanting a fish taco and these guys delivered. I wish I would have ordered more. The Al pastor and carnitas... were good but the fish taco was great. Outdoor seating was a nice place to eat and the salsa bar sent everything over the top. Read more
The taco stand is a popular Southern California taco chain spot and because it?s a chain I didn?t think much of it but it was... DELICIOUS. Loved the variety of taco options from fish to beef to vegan options the taco stand had it all. I ordered the spicyshrimp, al pastor, and grilled fish tacos all of which were great. My favorite had to be the al pastor that had pineapples onit. You have the option to eat it to go or dine in. At this place you order and pay up front then you get a tag and sit down.They bring the food out to your table and you get to enjoy a delicious meal. Definitely visit because it?s a fairly cheap meal. Read more
Awesome all around. 2nd time there and we loved it again. We got the California burrito, Sonora taco and a fish taco. Every bit... was delicious. We would recommend all of it. The salsas were made just right. The spicy of the 2 were the solid green and orangeones, but weren't really hot. They had a perfect kick that extenuating the foods taste. Go get some tacos here soon.
