Chuy's Taco Shop — Restaurant in San Diego

This place came highly recommended by my friend who was born, raised and practiced medicine in TJ; and it has a Guy Fieri stamp of approval. Both of those are saying something about this place. It’s good authentic Mexican food.

We love the size of the chips. You chose the meat and the pile of chips gets covered in cheese, Mayo, guacamole, and meat. Two types of cheese are used, cheddar and cotija. If I must put in a complaint, the chips end up being a bit too salty, and I think it’s dye to the cheese. You can cut down the salt by using salsa, still it’s a bit too much salt for my taste. The upside is that it’s never finished, tons of food for more than two people. My son and I usually share, and we cannot finish this dish.

The fries are amazing. I don’t know how they make them, but they are wow! The kids Bean and cheese comes with fries, and there so much food my two little eaters can’t finish between the two of them.

Their salads are served in a Tostada bowl. Delicious and generous portions.

Their tacos are a bit pricey, but delicious and fresh. Not as good as Tacos El Gordo- but seriously, nothing else is. They are good and delicious.

The atmosphere is sparse, but it’s a large enough place to sit with your family and eat.

We like it and usually go once or twice pret year. It’s my sons favorite- he just loves the massive...

I went here this evening because someone recommended the place to me during a conversation I was having and me sharing that I was craving a burrito after work.

I noticed while in line to place my order that they had a giant poster of Guy Feriri (Spelling), so I thought this place must have flavorful dishes...

I orded my 2 basic burritos that I always order when going to a new (to me) Taco Shop. A Carne Asada Burrito and *if offered a Diabla Burrito.

The Carne Asada burrito was a little bland and a little dry even though I added cheese and sour cream. But was good and thicc. Would I order it again?... if nothing else in the menu was appetizing or made me curious, sure.

Now, the Diabla Burrito is a straight no for me even though the shrimps were cooked beautifully. The burrito overall was bland, dry, and have a char flavor, that was closer to burnt. The rice barely had flavor, the salsa (the Diabla part of the burrito) needed some salt or even a little sugar. All you tasted was the chili's without seasoning. I have never had a diabla burrito this dry especially since the rice is sauced during the process of making the burrito. There was not even some kind of tartar, or white sauce, nothing. Just rice, shrimp, and the salsa. Was very...

This is easily the best hole in the wall taco shop in the area, and definitely the best and biggest breakfast burritos. I went sausage egg chz tater brekky burrito and it was excellent. Great value and heft for $13. I’m 6’3 180 and always starving, could have finished it but saved 1/3 for today and it was arguably even better. Sausage chunks large and numerous. Eggs real, deliciously griddled, and plentiful. Taters varied in size from small little crispy wedges to diced pieces and the burrito was not tater-heavy, aka not dry and not just stuffed with the cheap carbs like a fraudulent fruit salad that is 75% honeydew. Cheese perfectly balanced. Everything well mixed and homogenized throughout with tasty little sections featuring small ratio changes. The sauce bar was explosive, featuring a green and red with solid heat and charred/smoky salsa + a great tomato based salsa. If there was a thick and creamy avocado salsa I would still be there. My $3 diet pepsi can tells me the drink fridge is very overpriced, but if that’s the margin I pay over on for the value and flavor everywhere else I’m happy to yield! A resounding hell yeah to Chuy’s in an era where everyone else is happily passing their costs onto - and raking heavy profits off of - the...
