Reviews for City Tacos in San Diego, CA
Horrible street corn. And I got their spinach wrap with Rajas con crema?. That wasn?t all that either. All lettuce and arugula.... I really tried to finish all my food but I just couldn?t, waste of money bc I just ended up taking a few bites of the burritoand same with the elote ???????? Read more
Picked up two tacos with side of guacamole and chips. Guac was runny and artificial looking. Steak for tacos had weird taste and... overly greasy. Salsa?s were watery and under seasoned. Will not be returning this was pretty bad. Read more
They have interesting items on the menu in addition to traditional tacos. Everything was very flavorful.
Fanatic place. Placed a decent size order for a few people and the tacos were out quick and delicious.
Good tacos. The cochinita pibil was flavorful and tender. The shrimp tacos were alright. Wasn't a fan of the surf and turf but... the main issue there was the steak. I'd go again but avoid the steak. Read more
Calculate the time and distance and select two spots for lunch and supper, it's my responsibility for every Monday and... Wednesday. We drive from Pasadena to La Jolla and back these two days. This time, I selected City Tacos! We drove off the I-5and got on the local road, the road condition is so poor, all broken surface. After several bumps and turns, we turned onto aroad that was so flat and smooth, then drove to almost the end of the road. It looks in the middle of nowhere but some fancybuildings. The restaurant looks beautiful, I bet it will become an Internet/Instagram celebrity spot if it is not yet. It's sofashion style, the menu, the layout, the renovation. We ordered 4 different tacos and selected an outside seat. The weather isso good today, it's not too hot even in the sunshine. The food was served quickly and they were so good-looking. What's adisaster for a taco restaurant? My answer will be all the tacos taste the same, and even look the same. Fortunately, all thetacos here were different. Crunch Time Shrimp Taco, and Scallop Dream Taco used the same tortilla which was a new experience.The texture was so similar to the Chinese pancake I made. Of course, I love it, and my daughter did either. The taste wasgood, the scallop was fresh and not watery, good! But I won't have it again, it makes you don't feel it is a taco. The Carnitasis so well designed, even with Pork Grind, thumb up! The Surf & Turf is a combination of beef and shrimp, corn tortilla. Goodtaste, the only drawback is that the avocado was not fresh enough with dark spots on it. Anyway, it is worth 5-star. By the way,the corn tortilla can be better. In the end, the wheat tortilla, my style, is highly recommended. Guess what, it also has acheese layer with the tortilla. Read more
San Diego is well known as a place to get great Mexican food, and some of the best tacos I've ever had have been scattered... around the city. City Tacos, however, takes the idea of a great taco to a whole different level. The choices they offer and thequality of the food is just excellent. I think the tacos we had from the Sorrento Valley location are some of the best Mexicanfood I've ever had. Highly recommended!! Read more
stopped by here quickly on our way to Tucson and those were some very delicious tacos!! Get extra napkins because those things... can get messy, but worth it. Read more
