THE BEST CARNE ASADA TACO I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE!
Our first order of business after landing in San Diego and dropping our luggage off at the hotel was to get some bomb tacos, of course. My friend had found this spot, which was about a 10-ish minute walk from our hotel in Downtown. We arrived on a Thursday at around 1:30 and there were only a few people ahead of us, but a steady influx of people after us. You order your tacos (which was maybe a 10-15 minute wait), pick it up when they call you, and seat yourself. There are that many seats but it seems like most diners don't linger around. They just eat their tacos and leave. Luckily, we were able to nab two tables together for our party of 8!
I had the carne asada, al pastor, and baja (battered fried fish) tacos. The carne asada was AMAZING. Normally, I'm iffy about getting this because the steak tends to be dry and/or chewy. But not here! The meat is cooked fresh to a medium rare and is so tender. It's topped with cilantro, onion, salsa and guacamole, all great accoutrements but if you add their cilantro aioli (which you have to ask for), it really takes the taco over the top. The al pastor was a close second. This was topped with cilantro, onion, cilantro sauce, and pineapple. I normally don't like cooked pineapple, but this one was good. They use fresh pineapple as opposed to canned. Unfortunately, the fish missed the mark for me. This one was topped with cabbage, cilantro, tomato, onion, and chipotle sauce. Maybe I waited too long to eat it but it wasn't really that crispy. The chipotle sauce was also a bit too smoky for my taste buds.
We also ordered some fries to share. Originally, I was eyeing the carne asada fries (which is a meal in itself) but we were each getting three tacos so we agreed it might be too much food. We made the right choice because the other girls got it and said it was a bit much. If you do want to get it, I would recommend getting fewer tacos. We ended up getting regular fries and didn't regret it. They were perfectly fried and seasoned, and again, was made even better when I dunked them in the cilantro aioli.
I was so stuffed afterwards. I can eat but I think three tacos and even regular fries was a bit too much for me. Two tacos + the fries would have been the perfect amount. Still, I really wish I had enough stomach capacity to have tried one (or at least a bite) of each. The nopal sounded interesting, especially since I haven't eaten a whole lot of cactus (if any?) in my life. I will always choose meat over veggies.
On our last night in San Diego, even though we were already going to a Mexican restaurant for dinner, I took my sister here right before dinner (who missed out on the first round) because I wanted her to try the best carne asada taco I've ever had in my life. I'm not sure if she said the same words about it but she said she enjoyed it too. (Note - this was on a Saturday at around 6:30 pm and it was SUPER busy, so there was a wait. I would recommend placing an order ahead of time for pickup).
I wish they had great tacos like these in NYC!
