When your first job is working at a Taco Bell, eating tacos becomes somewhat of a lifestyle, especially if one of the perks of the job is FREE food. The fast food chain is far from authentic Mexican food, but since those good old days of working there, my pallet has drastically evolved. I’ve become quite good at finding cheap and delicious food, so in honor of Cinco de Mayo, TCV is sharing 5 of our favorite taco joints in the San Diego area. Check ’em out below!
I can see why Pacific Beach Fish House was voted as one of the best fish tacos in San Diego during a recent fish taco competition.
Lolita’s Restaurants are family owned casual taco shops located throughout San Diego County. As far as I’m concerned, all of their locations never disappoint. Order both the rolled carne and pollo asada tacos. Serve them up with a side of crisp chips, spicy carrots, guacamole and salsa, and you’re good to go!
Barrio Logan, is quickly becoming one of San Diego’s reformed popular hot spots. It has a vibrant art scene, cozy coffee shops and of course everybody’s favorite eatery and staple in the community, Las Cuatro Milpas. They’re best known for their chorizo and beans, however—don’t sleep on those tacos! I love the shredded beef taco, but just be prepared to wait in line to get it. Folks drive for miles for a taste of Las Cuatro Milpas!
