The Taco Stand — Restaurant in San Diego

Have tried two other Taco Stand locations and now came to give this one a try.

I think this location was a little bit of hit or miss depending on the day and the menu item.

We got some tacos delivered home and sister-in-law, friend as well as husband loved everything they got! Sister-In-Law and friend were visiting from out of town and they really liked the food here so much that they wanted to get it again before leaving from their visit. They really seemed to like Pollo(chicken) and Shrimp tacos. One thing to note is that when you order delivery on doordash they end up charging for adding the sauces which is not the case. When you put a pickup order from the store directly because you can just take as many sauces as you would like.

Husband and I also brought another friend here who was visiting from Canada and she was totally surprised by the quality of the tacos here! The pork taco must have been her favorite and I think it was the combination of the pork and pineapple in there!

I really loved the Shrimp Taco! This was my first time trying the shrimp taco and I think the combination of everything went really well. I was not expecting that cheese to be put on the tortilla so next time I think I would ask them to skip that to make it a little healthier. There was quite an amount of oil in the shrimp though, so I think that's another thing that I would like to change but otherwise overall flavor profile was lovely.

I usually love the fish taco from the other locations, but this one was subpar. It was actually quite a big thick fillet of fish so a lot of the bites felt like eating a big chunk of fish and not enough sauce or flavoring and tortilla to go with. Definitely appreciate the large portion size of the fish in there, but I think it ended up being too much fish for that one particular taco. Husband also have the same experience so it must have just been this particular day that the pieces of fish were very big. Definitely need to give it...

The Taco Stand is a remarkable taco shop that sets itself apart not only with its exceptional food but also with its welcoming atmosphere. From the moment you step inside, you are greeted with a warmth that feels both inviting and genuine, making it clear this place is special.

The highlight for many, including myself, is their salsa bar. It offers an impressive variety of options, catering to every palate, from the mildest flavors to those that challenge even the most seasoned spice aficionados. This selection enhances the dining experience, allowing customers to customize their meals to their exact taste preferences.

The burritos deserve a special mention. They are generously sized, packed with flavor, and expertly constructed. My girlfriend chose the Asada burrito, and it was a hit. The meat was tender and flavorful, wrapped in a soft tortilla with just the right amount of fillings to complement, but not overwhelm, the main ingredient. It was, without doubt, a dish that would make us return.

For those with service dogs, The Taco Stand proves to be incredibly accommodating. My service dog was immediately made to feel welcome, with staff providing water and attention, ensuring he was comfortable and well-cared for throughout our visit. This level of attention to all guests, human and animal alike, is a testament to the establishment’s commitment to customer service.

The Taco Stand offers a delightful dining experience. With its excellent food, particularly the standout burritos and salsa bar, along with its inclusive atmosphere, it’s a place that not only feeds the body but also the soul. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, it’s a spot that...

Save your time and money! I kept seeing this posts on social media raving about this place so my fiancée and I decided to give it a try. I understand with the location being on convoy that the parking situation isn’t the best but we got lucky given it was lunchtime on a Saturday. We ordered a few different to give everything a try such as the Al pastor, pollo asado, carne asada and a California burrito. This location is very small and it’s hard to not bump into people especially during the lunch rush, I’d say we waited about 25-30 minutes for our order which I can understand given with how busy it was, but we kept seeing people leave and talk about how good the food was and some even saying it was the best tacos they’ve had so I figured it’d be worth the wait. Once I received my order I went to get salsas for us, I was barely able to get 2 small containers as the tubs were empty and I literally had to scrape it from the bottom. We had ordered to go and ate in the parking lot since there was no seating available, we didn’t modify the tacos at all and got them as is with the meat, onions, cilantro and guacamole. I tried the pollo asado first and it was bland, the only thing that really had flavor was the guacamole, tried the al pastor next and same thing bland, the carne asada-bland, finally the burrito which I was hoping was good as I saw they even put some kind of sauce in it but no just bland and could only taste cheese and the tortilla. I had very high hopes with everything I heard but ultimately left disappointed, I would suggest going to any other local 24 hour Mexican spot that San Diego is full of and you’d have a much...
