Taco Villa — Restaurant in San Diego

it's the best mexican food on ucsd campus, but not mind blowingly good, pretty basic and will get the job done if you just want some classic mexican food. they are pretty quick with getting orders out, and they definitely stay busy which is probably why the cashiers aren't very peppy. all-in-all pretty mid

update: i ordered a to-go burrito one night, before they closed and picked my order before they closed as well. but the environment is not welcoming at all, like never expect a smile. i would be fine with that if the burrito wasn't god awful. i paid extra for rice and beans, no rice and beans were added, the burrito was only dry grounds of meat drowning in sauce and soggy shredded lettuce and way too much tortilla in relation to the filling. i understand if they ran out of rice and beans, but if this is the case then please let me know and maybe offer a refund. it was not worth $15 :( really sad considering they claim to be serving authentic mexican food and this is uc SAN...

Please see my other reviews of the other locations I've been to.

I hear this is the newer location. As for accessibility, it's hard to make a left turn going north into their parking lot over a double yellow line. If you are going south, it's easy to get to. But do try this location instead of the Indiana location if you live/work in the area. The lines are much shorter and the parking lot is easier to get around.

Follow up edit #2 - The guy who works the register wants nothing to do with you, your order, or his job. Hope one of the ladies is working, so you don't feel

Follow up edit - do not order the mulitas. It is very small in comparison to the price ($7). You will be disappointed; I know I am...

Rather hit or miss, but its the only taco shop within reasonable walking distance of campus.... cause it is on campus. The staff is nice and make the place very welcoming, but don't be surprised by a mixed up order or lukewarm food. The guac is mostly flavorless, but their pollo is relay tasty! Good quesadillas and carne fries as well. If you can make the distance out of La Jolla, there are lots of other superior places, but if you are on campus when the craving hits, Taco VIlla will scratch enough of the...
