Mr. Taco 2 Fresh Mexican Grill — Restaurant in San Marcos

UPDATE: Came back, ordered California burritos, Carne Asada and Al Pastor. Soooo good!! Huge and delicious. I’ve forgotten all about the chilaquiles and changed my rating from 4-5 stars!

Don’t be a pendejo! Read this!! Great tacos, bad chilaquiles, baaadddd! They came with scrambled eggs not sunny side up! Who ever heard of that? They sauce was a tasteless “enchilada” sauce, no cojita cheese, no cilantro, nothings fresh. Huge disappointment! The beans were good. They should dump it from the menu. Having said that, the restaurant is called “Mr. Taco” not “Mr. Chilaquiles”! So, the Al Pastor and Carne Asada are excellent! Great corn tortillas, fresh toppings, good price. These tacos are as good or better than anything you will find anywhere! When getting the salsa, the one of the far right (red) is the best and it actually has some bite! The green and tomatillo salsa are also good. The breakfast burrito was big and beautiful! Very filling for the price. Clean place, nice people. We will return and just focus on the tacos. PS, I hope you realize these are real Mexican tacos, not that crunchy American...

It's not any one specific thing that Mr. Taco does that makes his carne asada taco so good, it's a combination of everything. Having a delicious charred crust on their very tender marinated chopped strips of steak helps. On the "Asada Street Taco," the onions and cilantro are layered on top in a harmonious ratio, and the zippy salsa verde they throw on this before they serve it to you is one of the tastiest salsas you'll find. Is the meat prepared over an open-flame grill and mesquite coals? No. This is our San Diego-style carne asada.

The "Crispy Potato Taco" is a straightforward deep-fried taco dorado stuffed with mashed potatoes seemingly seasoned only with salt. Mr. Taco's salsa bar is solid, and this taco is a good blank canvas to sample the various salsas frescas available. That said, you can get this taco pretty much anywhere, so avoid ordering it here and get more carne...

Hello Everyone…. PLEASE READ OUTRAGEOUSLY EXPENSIVE!!!!!!!’

I want to first start off by saying this place is extremely good. I have been coming here for over 5+ years and I lived off of their food while in college. However recently the prices of the food have gotten outrageous!!!!! For a California Burrito the price used to be $9.75 and you could have spicy carrots included now it is $15.75 not including carrots. For carrots it’s now an additional Charge…I understand that inflation has gone up and prices have been adjusted to that but that is actually robbery. I love this place but I will not be paying almost $16 for a burrito….. you might as well advertise STADIUM PRICES HERE on the window. I felt like I was at the Padres game ordering an overpriced hot dog. I’m not sure what this place is thinking but they have now lost a Loyal customer because they are...
