What’s up everybody? Philcaela here :)
And we are in San Diego right now.
And we love tacos!
San Diego has probably the best tacos in the US and today we’re gonna take you through
our 5 Favorite Spots to Get Tacos in San Diego!
Let’s go!!!
For some of the best tacos in the country, we’re here at Tacos El Gordo down south
a little bit in Chula Vista, this place is super popular and it’s open really late
everyday so it gets really, really packed with the late night crowd if you know what
I’m saying.
One of my favorite things to order here is the adobada tacos, they also have really good
asada tacos, too.
They put a lot of meat in a taco and each taco comes with 2 tortillas, so you know what
I do usually, split the meat and it looks like two tacos.
But not me, I just grab the whole thing and I just take a big bite out of it.
They also do carne asada fries here and instead of getting carne asada, we got adobada fries.
It can get really packed, so recommend coming earlier in the night if you don’t wanna
fight the lines.
We’re at Oscars Mexican Seafood and this place, honestly, has the best fish tacos,
it’s so good!
Every time we come down to San Diego, we order a lot of tacos.
Chipotle sauce and some hot sauce!
Fish is battered perfectly, the chipotle sauce goes so well with it, it’s crispy, so much
flavor, it’s so fresh, too!
We ordered 9 tacos total, I got 4, Phil got 5, and these tacos are not mini ones, they’re
pretty big.
They’re so good you have to eat a lot here.
And the next great spot for tacos in San Diego is here at Puesto.
There’s another location down in the Seaport Village-downtown area, but we’re at the
one in La Jolla right now.
This is definitely much more of a nicer, sit-down, upscale taco place.
It’s quite a bit more expensive than other tacos you’d get in San Diego, but the quality
is amazing and you’re also getting a really, really nice ambience in here.
I know you come here for the tacos, but the chips and salsa are really, really good, too.
I like the corn tortilla, I see them on my right making it fresh.
The meat is such high quality, it’s like a steak in a taco.
This piece of fish is ginormous, it’s actually very heavy and dense.
Bigger than the tortilla itself!
It’s really crispy but it’s also not overcooked, it’s so good, oh my god!
And you’re paying for the higher prices because of the quality of the meat here honestly.
Last but not least here, we have a chicken al pastor taco, I’m used to eating al pastor
pork tacos, but this is the chicken one so let’s see how it is, that’s really good,
I see how that’s al pastor, but it’s still chicken, this is really, really juicy and
yummy.
Overall, Puesto is a great option for tacos in La Jolla.
We loved what we got here, the food was delicious and also the ambience in here is very fun.
And Puesto La Jolla is actually Michelin-recomended so you know it’s really good.
The next spot for the best tacos in San Diego os here at the Taco Stand in La Jolla, they
make their corn tortillas fresh and the tacos here are really, really delicious.
Like most of the taco places they have plenty of different meats you can get on your tacos,
they also have burritos, it’s at the taco stand but you don’t have to get tacos, but
we did.
Pretty small little store, it has very, very San Diego vibes.
We got our food, I got a carne asada taco and also an al pastor one here.
The corn tortilla on this al pastor taco, I can tell it was made like 5 minutes ago
and the carne asada hare with a ton of guacamole on it, tons of carne asada in here with the
guacamole and onions.
Super delicious!
Corn tortilla is unbelievable, so fluffy, so fresh, corn tortilla makes this taco so
amazing.
And the corn tortillas are so good because they make them right behind us right over
there.
I could just eat it by itself honestly, it has so much flavor.
There are not a lot of tables in here, so either you get it to go or you wait for a
table.
We waited around 10 minutes for a table which it wasn’t too bad still love this place.
The tacos, the corn tortillas are freaking amazing!
And the last spot for the best tacos in San Diego are here at La Vecindad in the Hillcrest.
We got a couple different tacos here, we got the typical al pastor and the carne asada,
but we also got one of their special tacos here the Costa Azul, which as bacon-wrapped
shrimp in it.
The corn tortillas here are handmade and they load these tacos up with lots of meat.
At their salsa bar they have this creamy jalapeño salsa, and it’s freaking good!
I’ve never seen a jalapeño sauce, usually it’s like a guacamolito sauce if it’s
green, but this one has jalapeño and it’s FIRE!
Here’s the costa Azul with the bacon-wrapped shrimp.
Mmm!!!
You taste the bacon alright!
It’s like really hearty and delicious from the bacon in there.
It’s really unique for a taco.
La Vecindad has a really cute interior and they also get really packed on Tuesdays for
their Taco Tuesdays deals.
And it’s in a really fun neighborhood in the Hillcrest and overall we’d really recommend
it for anyone looking for some great tacos.
