Rodrigo's Taco Shop — Restaurant in San Diego

I've always been disappointed with the taco shops around the PQ/ Carmel mountain area. And this is one the places that didn't satisfy. It's a small corner taco shop in a plaza and it was my first time trying this place out. My typical go-to is a carne asada burrito. After tax it's about $7 and some change. I judge a taco shop on how well they put together a staple of San Diego; carne asada burrito. First thought was, geez, I just placed an order and my burrito was ready within 3 mins. Not a good sign since I've had similar experiences at other places that make that quick burrito. Second is that the carne asada burrito was hefty; always a good sign since you know that they packed it with meat. Third, is the first couple bites and Rodrigo's didn't satisfy. Just like my other experiences at those other taco shops around the area with cooks making a burrito quick and not even grilling the meat. It's like they keep the meat in a tin and just heat the tortilla and put the meat on it along with the other ingredients. Those first couple bites you can tell, the meat is very dry and tough. The tortilla was super chewy. A real disappointment and sad that lots of the taco shops in the PQ/ Carmel Mountain area just looking for a quick buck on expensive burritos. I did like how the restaurant is clean, the cashier was friendly, and the delicious salsa bar. The salsa verde is probably one of the best I've tried with a nice vinegary green chili flavor. A solid 2 stars and it will be hard to come back here since they close early and a bad...

I ordered from Rodrigos for my sons 4th birthday party. They were very helpful with deciding how much and what kind of food to get. The food was incredible and our guests raved about how delicious it was! What really makes this review 5 stars is they called the day of the party and clarified how many people we were having. Whoever I spoke with told me he thought I would probably have too much food and recommended I order some half trays instead of full trays. He was absolutely right and I so appreciated his honesty even when it meant they made less money. You can't buy integrity and great customer service these days which is why Rodrigo's will always be my first choice for my catering needs. Thank...

An Iconic Establishment within Rancho Penasquitos.

I've been coming here for decades.

They always provide delicious food at reasonable prices and served with a smile.

My favorite item is always the carne asada chips. Once in a while, I'll switch it up with fries.

Their sauces are on point. Just the right amount of flavor and heat, whether it's green or red.

Though I've moved further away from here, I always make it a point to drive here for their delicious eats.

There have been many taco shops that have come and gone over the years, I'm glad that Rodrigo's has managed to provide the neighborhood with a place to relax and enjoy a well...
