La Taqueria Menudo
Ask the Locals It’s cold, but I am sick of the 14 outbound. I pull the cord and hop off the Muni right where “Joe grinds his own chuck dailyâ€. I ain’t gonna get a burger, of course, but here I am in the Deep Mission. Excelsior Mission. Past Silver Avenue Mission. Where the hell […]

Nieto’s Mexican Food
If I hadn’t known to look here, I never would have known to look here. It’s in a typically San Diegan strip mall, tucked away in some unassuming corner. Apparently invisible, I know for a fact this location used to be at least two other taquerias in the past. And every time I tried it, […]

Don Carlos
…Continued form La Posta (Miss Taca enjoys her anonymity) Don Carlos is another old-time hangout. The veggies always loved it, cause of their potato rolled tacos. I always loved it cause it was just down the street form the coffee hangout, The Pannikin and the food was always good. Plus, they are right next to […]

La Posta
There it is. They are in there. There are possibly some being made even right now. There is nobody in line. LUCK! The rolled tacos are going to happen, and happen SOON! I am not alone, yet I do not make a good conversationalist. Doesn’t she know I can’t concentrate? Rolled tacos are on the […]

Roberto’s Taco Shop
It’s been a long time since I’ve had machaca. Near as I can figure it’s what a breakfast burrito should be. Well-cooked shredded beef with peppers, onions and eggs all scrambled up. While it’s not rare to frequent any one of San Diego’s 24-hour taco shops so late that dinner turns into breakfast, it is […]

El Indio
Culture Shock. Every time it’s a surprise. A delicious surprise, but nonetheless, a surprise. I always forget that things are a bit different down here. Burritos are not burritos here. I’m not sure if Northern California is the mutation or if it’s a Lo Cal thing, but either way you chew it, these tortilla-filled cousins […]

Taqueria Castillito B
Perhaps it’s because of the law school down the street of maybe it has something to do with the every day chaos around Civic Center, but this gem of a burrito shack strikes a consistent balance between logic and madness. As the closest taqueria to BWHQ, I’ve watched the press-clean crowds murk through the street-damaged […]

La Corneta
11/29/07 Not it. La Corneta is clean. Too clean. These are not the burritos I am looking for. But I just had to try it. First off, the burrito was cold…

Taqueria Can-Cun
11/8/07 Where have all the good times gone? It’s no secret that Can-Cun has fallen silent in recent times with sometimes good/sometimes not burritos. This day even the jukebox was quiet. I’ve had my share of delicious burritos from here, and will continue to do so. However, now and for all time my expectations are […]
