As a Latina, these have to be some of THE best tacos I’ve ever had. Absolutely delicious! This place is a must try.
I’ve been here about 10 times and it’s my favorite American-Mexican taco spot!
FAST service. Authentic flavors with a twist of American style 👌
The Portobello taco is a MUST

I tried the carnitas, SD carne asada, and portobello tacos. I also came here a second time and ordered tacos to go. I ordered the carnitas, quesabirria, and pescado tacos. My personal favorite taco that I've tried so far is the pescado -- the perfect fish taco with great structural integrity and balanced flavors!

I dropped by a few days after visiting their other restaurant in North Park. It was a busy day during lunch, and I could hardly find a table. I ordered Quesadillas from their Sides and Portobello tacos from their Vegetarian menu. The restaurant was busy, so my order took a little longer than 10 minutes. I can't blame a busy day. I found a single seat once I picked up my order. The corn tortilla Quesadillas had grilled asadero cheese. I have never tasted asadero cheese, so it felt different in a good way. The flavor of the cheese was dense and tasted good with the dip. The Portobello tacos had grilled baby Portobello mushroom, corn, black beans, pasilla chilies, arugula, red onion, tomato, and cotija cheese. The Portobello tacos were delicious. It was worth the wait and made my day! It was as good as the City Zucchini tacos. The service from their staff was courteous and helpful. They answered all my queries. City Tacos' menu has vegetarian and vegan options, making their restaurants vegetarian-friendly. If you are looking for tacos in San Diego, head to one of the City Tacos restaurants. You'll love it. City Tacos will be one of my all-time favorite taco restaurants!
I came out to San Diego and found this excellent taco place. The food is amazing, not only do they have healthy choices but also healthy drinks, the atmosphere is chill, plus you can’t beat the music.
We got almost every taco and the ones we enjoyed the most were the steak with potato, thr steak was nicely seasoned , the shrimp taco (quite spicy but great when u put the mango salsa on it) I loved it. sweet and spicy! Also really enjoyed the mahi mahi with pickled onions and strawberry, my husband’s favorite. Street corn was pretty good. Prices were great. I was surprised when they told me $35.
Got the good to go but the atmosphere seemed cool when I picked it up.
service was quick as well
We’ll be back

Incredible tacos. The ingredients are all fresh, and I highly recommend the salsa verde and the mango salsa with your tacos. My fave taco is the Camaron Enchilado (grilled shrimp with aioli).
The woman who served me was so friendly, welcoming, and gave great recommendations for me to try. I really enjoyed the food and my experience here!!

Every time I come to SD the first thing I say is "Let's go to City Tacos!" This time we went to the downtown location. Walking in, the music was playing loudly, not many people were there, and there was a strong smell of floor cleaner. We ordered and sat down first outside, but didn't like how loud the street was or how dirty the table was. Went inside, order arrived. 4 tacos, beer and mineral water - $13.
I didn't realize that the tortilla was going to be flour, and the cashier 💙kindly💙 exchanged it for a fresh corn tortilla. Amazing. We had fish tacos, asked for grilled rather than fried. What I liked about it was that there wasn't much oil, and if we had asked for salt it would have been even more tasty.
My main and serious problem with the meal was that there was one tiny little cube of fresh onion, which I am allergic to, and had explained when ordering. I unknowingly took one bite, spit it out and grabbed my EpiPen. Fortunately, my throat didn't close all the way and I was left with a swollen throat/ear, but I could still breathe. Not cool.
My friend loved his tacos and beer.
