Unreal tacos … great location, great food, very fast service. I got a fish taco, carne asada taco, and the quesabirria taco. All I can say is you HAVE to get tacos here if you’re at pacific beach… highly recommend.
This place is a must if you are visiting San Diego. For those of us who don’t live in this sunny, beachy paradise with excellent Mexican food, this can’t be beat. I always get two fish tacos to go, then eat on the sea wall overlooking the ocean. It’s my San Diego ritual. Metered parking a few blocks east on Garnet is adequate for a lunch break.
Okay, let me start by saying, I am a foodie and I have to say, RUN don’t walk and get these tacos.
I was absolutely blown away by this little taqueria on Mission St.
There are countless places to choose from along this busy street in this touristy area but City Tacos is a diamond among gemstones.
We ordered the surf and turf tacos, the steak taco, shrimp taco, quesabirria taco, pescado taco… and my surprising favorite… the Portobello taco. (Middle taco)
First, for the price, the taco sizes are substantial which is always an added bonus. I loved the flavor combinations in everything, but the portobello mushroom taco was smoky, umami, sweet, creamy and savory all in one perfect bite. I loved the surprising addition of the arugula which brought everything together in a magical way!
The salsa bar is also fire!!!
