I've eaten here quite a few times since the new owners purchased the place.
It was pretty good before, it's awesome now. The customer service is out of this world; the owner has personally come to chat with me a few times, and he's a really personable and cool guy. I've had several of their tacos, but specifically this place crushes it on carnitas tacos for me (see first photo); the carnitas are so soft and juicy, and idk what their recipe is but it's the most pork-tasting carnitas I think I've had in a long time, maybe ever.
I've also had chorizo and carne asada.
I think the chorizo may have been a special that day or something because it's not on the menu every day, very good though.
The tacos are pretty big too, I'd say maybe a little above average for the taquerias I've eaten at around SD and LA.
Usually I get 2 to 4 tacos. Their salsas are all awesome.
Their pickled onions are awesome.
Their grilled onions are awesome.
Every taco I have tried has been great, and some have been spectacular. Update: had the pastor and carne asada mini tacos yesterday, and both were 🔥🔥🔥 (see second photo); 5 for $10 taco Tuesday.

Amazing California burrito! We just moved to the area and have been trying to find a good spot for when we get a craving for a burrito.
I’d say we found it! The chipotle sauce was the cherry on top 👍

I was disappointed with the shrimp tacos, which were more than $5 each.
There were about 3 meager shrimp in each taco, the tortillas weren't softened fully, and the other filling didn't make it particularly more satisfying.
The service was friendly, so that's a plus, though.
