Came back just to test if this was just a dream or does this taco place have what it takes to stand in the halls of taco fame and glory in San Diego. I will say that the quality of food, the tortillas both flour and corn, the ambiance and the flavor variety are still stellar. This is in my top 5 of taco spots in San Diego due to the creativity and salsa variety. You can't go wrong at this location. Now what I have realized with chain restaurants are the hit or miss quality. For example taco stand in La Jolla is different than taco stand in Convoy. I would say City Tacos in Sorrento felt stronger than the one in downtown by the ball park. The service was fast and good as we arrived at 1pm and after the lunch rush on a weekday. They have a water dispenser and even pallets, and I would say the space is large with great outdoor seating. After all it is San Diego and you have to get some sun with some of your tacos. Skip on over to City Tacos and try the variety of tacos that will sustain your hunger cravings and delight your salsa tastebuds.

4.5/5 Delicious tacos with homemade tortillas! Salsas are great too! The taco of the month is usually excellent and very creative! We've eaten here for years and never been disappointed. TACO TUESDAY DISCOUNT ON ALL TACOS! Highly recommend over Taco Stand or other tacos places in Encinitas. Recommend: Mexicali on Corn Tortilla Camaron Enchilado on Corn Tortilla Chorizo Asado Quesabirria Ahuevo Breakfast Taco Veracruz Papas Con Rajas

QUESOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! ...alright.... Let me start by saying I'm a San Diego Native who has frequented the motherlands of Mexico for many years... I have eaten some of the best tacos on earth! And City tacos, has managed to make me say ok maybe I won't judge a Taco Shop by its appearance. Because let's be real I'm not saying a like my taco spots dirty but I want them with a little streetness to them if you know what I mean... City Tacos went elevated decor with the elevated food to back it up. Usually my taco shops have bullet holes , but city tacos has big screens and back splash!! Now for the eats, I tried about 9 different tacos here and all of them are good and a few of them are among greatness My favorites:shrimp crunch,queso birria and portobello(I mean for a veggie taco to be in my favs list... I mean who am I) The Shrimp Cruncher (GENIUS) this was put together by a Mexican Mad Scientist for sure! This is my number one taco here! It's a flour tortilla with melted queso and a shrimp rolled taquito inside topped with all the fixings of a fish taco ... I mean how and who did this to me! And THE PRICE!!! You know the saying food taste better when it's free.... Well when the price is right it always tastes Aiight!!! Haha Ok, I won't get into the salsa bar and all the extras (grass wall) for this review....you're going to have to find out for yourself.... But I will leave you with a hack You can get full for under $15, if you order two of your favorite tacos and the side quesadillas that come with two.... And wrap each taco you order with the quesadilla and load up on complaint water and salsa!! YOUR WELLLCOME! We Love You City Tacos!!!

There's a reddit thread from 2023 that put city tacos as one of their top 10 fish tacos in SD so I decided to try it out for lunch. The reviews say it's crowded but given this is the week of Christmas, the office workers aren't around making it the perfect time to try. I decided to try the chorizo asado, pescado and surf and turf. I did get some of their mango salsa. For all the tacos I tried, the toppings helped feel pretty light and not nearly as heavy as I know tacos can feel. The tacos were all a different experience. The chorizo asado was a bit wet. Flavor wise the chorizo was the best tasting filling. The mango salsa was perfect to compensate for bites without pineapple. I found the pescado decent but I failed at maintaining good bites. Bites without the toppings felt like the fish needed salsa. For a breaded fish, it didn't feel like it. The surf and turf was by far the biggest of the three tacos. I had to grab a spoon at the end because stuff had fallen out. It was solid but despite having just had it at lunch, the main memory of it is just how big it was and somewhat difficult to eat. Overall this was a fun lunch pick. It wasn't too heavy which is what I wanted. I don't think this was the kind of fish taco I was craving though.

Really good tacos. The veggie tacos are surprisingly really delightful and I LOVE meat. The Taco of the Month is always a fun surprise, and it's clear they put a lot of thought into these limited-time creations. Last month was a shrimp taco with beets and I really enjoyed it. Staff stay busy, but its self serve for salsa bar. Vibe is casual!

Love their tacos there. We were so hungry and ate it so fast that we forgot to take pictures of our food. Their tacos are loaded with toppings and the tortilla is super fresh. They have so many variety of tacos to choose from. Highly recommend their scallop tacos. They are so unique and flavorful. Really can't go wrong with ordering any of their tacos. Service there was also amazing. There are plenty of outside seating but it definitely will fill up during lunch time. Highly recommend checking this place out for some bomb tacos.

The shrimp taco here was so yummy! I ordered the Camaron Enchilado and scallop taco. If you are into a clam chowder consistency in a taco, get the scallops taco! The shrimp Camaron taco was so crispy and there was a lot of shrimp for just one taco. The spice level was mild and the vibes outside at the restaurant are so nice in the summer. The service was great and fast. Feel free to stop by here even when you are in rush because the staff will take care of you in no time!

Awesome tacos, just wish they were open on weekends and later during the day. You can't go wrong with any taco here really,I've tried the meats, the scallops and the veggies. The sauces are great too!

Location is a little remotes but it's easy to find parking. I ordered 3 different tacos the Surf and Turf, Pescado and Mexicali. Surf and turf was ok but it needed some extra seasoning. The pescado (fish) taco was minimal in the size fish cutlet served. It was mahi mahi so I understand why it was thin like a fish stick. The fish was bland as well. With the location it's in I totally understand why it's not seasoned so it allows the customer to add flavor based on their level. The Mexicali taco is amazing though, I would seriously drive the 2-3 miles from my job site in order to eat a couple of those. It's carne asada, poblano chili's and grilled cheese on the tortilla. Trust me when I say this, it's easily a Top 5 taco I've had in my life. Also, service was great!
