City Tacos — Restaurant in San Diego

Calculate the time and distance and select two spots for lunch and supper, it's my responsibility for every Monday and Wednesday. We drive from Pasadena to La Jolla and back these two days. This time, I selected City Tacos! We drove off the I-5 and got on the local road, the road condition is so poor, all broken surface. After several bumps and turns, we turned onto a road that was so flat and smooth, then drove to almost the end of the road. It looks in the middle of nowhere but some fancy buildings. The restaurant looks beautiful, I bet it will become an Internet/Instagram celebrity spot if it is not yet. It's so fashion style, the menu, the layout, the renovation. We ordered 4 different tacos and selected an outside seat. The weather is so good today, it's not too hot even in the sunshine. The food was served quickly and they were so good-looking. What's a disaster for a taco restaurant? My answer will be all the tacos taste the same, and even look the same. Fortunately, all the tacos here were different. Crunch Time Shrimp Taco, and Scallop Dream Taco used the same tortilla which was a new experience. The texture was so similar to the Chinese pancake I made. Of course, I love it, and my daughter did either. The taste was good, the scallop was fresh and not watery, good! But I won't have it again, it makes you don't feel it is a taco. The Carnitas is so well designed, even with Pork Grind, thumb up! The Surf & Turf is a combination of beef and shrimp, corn tortilla. Good taste, the only drawback is that the avocado was not fresh enough with dark spots on it. Anyway, it is worth 5-star. By the way, the corn tortilla can be better. In the end, the wheat tortilla, my style, is highly recommended. Guess what, it also has a cheese layer with...

I have ordered take out a couple times here and every time it has been fine. No complaints but I just ordered take out today and it was pretty awful. Normally I would say it was just a one time thing but it was just too bad.

They made a mistake on the order, missing one taco. If they were cheaper I wouldn't care but for almost 4 dollars a missing taco should not happen. All the food was cold, every single item. Picked up the food and no more than 10 minutes later we were eating it. There is no way food should be cold in that amount of time. Cheese was hard in the quesadillas. It was such a poor experience that I will not be ordering from them again. It was almost like they had made this food like an hour ago....

Well I've been here just over 10 times in the past year and I think I've had over half the tacos on the menu because once you find a taco you really like it's hard to try a new one. I would not recommend any one Taco on the list because all of them that I've tried are absolutely delicious. Whether it be the Mexicali for people that love cheese and carne asada, or the Cameroon for the huge delicious shrimp I don't think you can go wrong throwing a dart at the menu. For the longest time I wish this would be kept a secret but now we know after covid more people need to...
