Simply delicious! Best taco place I tried. I love coming here with my husband. We drive an hour to just get these tacos that's how good they are!!

Adobada fires are good nice n hot.But I seen a cockroach cooks acted like nothing , even telling the other cook its going your way. We killed itOne of my co worker didn't even eat his 4 tacos . Trash ?

Such a good taqueria. It is a shame they had to change the way you check out. It takes a hell of a lot longer to get your food now thanks to people who would not pay for their food after receiving it. Before you would order, get your tacos, and get in line to pay. Some people would just sit down or walk out the store.The people who did that are worse than trash. I hope tacos el G can bounce back to the volume they were at before.

I understand pay 1st.There were 4 of us. We each gave the cook our receipt/ order1. The cook read the order, put it down and was doing other things.There were four customers sitting down.It took him about 5 minutes to get to our orders.It looked like the 2 other cook's were looking at the lead guy and thinking "What is this guy doing"?Eventually he got to our order.2. I ordered a carne asada mulita. The meat did NOT HAVE ANY FLAVOR.Tacos El G used to be on our lunch rotation. NOT NO MORE! We are not going back there.

Excellent Suadero meat. Tortillas a little crunchier than the other place.Carne asada meat a little too juicy, made the tortilla a big soggy.Excellent adobada. A bit crunchier than the other place.The ordering system is a bit different here. You order at the cashier first then pay then give you receipt to the head taquero who then shouts your order down the line.I experience no problem with this but the group of about 15 people who walked in after me did. Since you have to tell the head taquero your mods and then he has to explain it down the line chaos and confusion ensued over who ordered what with no onion or no guac etc.I wonder if on weekend nights it gets real confusing and a lot of shouting and people randomly awkwardly standing around hoping to get their orders right.There's a drive through which is kinda easy to miss. You can also order for pick up on door dash which might make things easier.

These Carne Asada tacos were made fresh and the Colq Manzana complimented this dish. Great place to eat authentic tacos.

To describe this place with one word "Authentic". Service was great, the food was even better.

I come all the way down from Riverside and this is one of my favorite spots to hit when in SD. The meat is delicious and the adobada tacos and crema are to die for! I highly recommend this place. Just be aware that on weekends it gets packed so make sure to pay first and grab a tray before you get in line and have your receipt ready to give to the taquero. If you ordered adobada, that’s all the way to the left side.

Nice taco place. Pretty tasty and a decent alternative to the many taco shops in the area.Make sure to go to the cash register first and pay for your order. The guys behind the class will ask for your receipt to fill your order. You can line up in the area where you ordered. Like if you got Al pastor like up there. They will then pass your order to the other preparer to fill the rest.

Great spot for some freshly made tacos. Used the drive-thru window ordered with no issues. Got home and they were still warm.
