Holy cow! Stop by today while I was on a short road trip. These are the best fish tacos I've had in the San Diego area! They were delicious and only cost $2.50 each because it was Tuesday. I ordered three but two was all I could eat because they are huge! I would never eat an old fish taco, but I'm taking this one with me, and we'll eat it later for sure. Trust me, anyone in the area, I would highly recommend making a point to come here and try their fish tacos! customer service was wonderful. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Anytime I'm in the area, I will definitely come back!

I don’t say this lightly—this place is hands down one of the best Mexican restaurants I’ve ever been to. The décor is colorful without being over-the-top, and the music added just the right energy to the dining experience. Now, the food—absolutely incredible. We started with the super nachos, the guacamole inside was perfectly seasoned with just the right kick of lime and jalapeño. For the main course, I ordered the carne asada tacos, and they were out of this world. The meat was tender, juicy, and full of flavor, served on soft, handmade corn tortillas. My friend had the enchiladas verdes, and she couldn’t stop raving about the tangy green sauce and how everything was cooked to perfection. What really stood out, though, was the attention to detail and authenticity. You can tell everythi

The best of the best. From Rico’s to Pavlos - their food, especially their burritos, remains as real as it gets. The gold standard.

Tried the chicken chimichanga and it was so good. Its like a Mexican food restaurant mixed with Greek food. They have Gyros and tacos, their sauces are a great taste with the food. Make sure you ask for the carrots. They taste really good a whole different flavors with all their food. Its always clean at the shop and the staff is very friendly. Great spot 👍🏼

The burritos and their salsa are delicious. Pavlos is also one of the friendliest owners you'll ever meet!
