I truly appreciate you guys!! 🙏 Otherwise, what was your favorite taco spot? Which would you want to try most?? Comment below! Merch Store: traveldeeper.shop
My list is mostly local ...City Tacos,Taco Taco The Taco Stand, Primos and Chuys. Yum glad I found your Chanel. I hit the sub button. Follow me back my Chanel is all about travel and fun trips
#1 The Taco Stand in La Jolla #2 Kiko’s Place Taco Truck next to a gas station at 6090 Friars Road in Mission Valley #3 Tacos El Gordo in Chula Vista #4 Las Cuatros Milpas in Barrio Logan #5 Mitch’s Seafood in Point Loma
I'm from the UK and we were staying in a hotel opposite tacos El Gordo and I can say it's one of the best things i've ever eaten. Also San Diego is a fantastic city.
@@pat.l.h.2730 I was actually super disappointed in the flavor of the meats. I tried asada, chicken and I forgot what other... 😐😐 it wasn’t what it was hyped up to be. I was sad
100% got the spots haha... Nine seas seafood truck is the bomb also, similar to Kikos, once shit opens through, Mariscos atlata is my favorite check it out
Yo my dude, I appreciate you saying “must try” places instead of best in SD. So many good spots that it would be impossible to say the best. You could probably make a must try taco spots and have enough content for months. Thanks for the great vid.
Bro crazy u say that. Im a painter and my job site is right down the street from Humbertos and EVERYTHING ive eaten there is FIRE!!!! Almost done there but i will be going out of my way to eat tgere from now on
@@robertmacias279 If you get tired of Mexican go check out Giorginos on 28th Street in same neighborhood. They have really good Philly steak sandwiches-my favorite was the Beef Gaucho. Right up the street from Starbucks on 28th next to 99cent store.
I grew up in SD and took for granted the amazing taco shop food available. I lived in Spring Valley where there were “hole-in-the-wall” taco shops on every corner in every strip mall. I moved to NorCal and while I appreciate the better scenery I bitterly miss the taco shops of SoCal.
My first day in Chula Vista, I ordered from Tony's Tacos (early 80's). Being from New England, and used to Taco Bell, I ordered a bunch of tacos & a couple of burritos. Man, I had a lot of leftovers! Loved the rolled tacos / guacamole from the little stand on 3rd Ave, San Diego. Three for a dollar back then!
We (San Diego) are the Mexican Food capital of the United States. I'm glad to be a native. Krazy thing is, there's still many taco spots I have yet to go to. It's never ending here!
As a San Diego resident, I can say this is a great guide, and I even learned a thing! Tacos El Gordo makes as good an al pastor taco as you'll find anywhere, they are absolutely incredible, and Cuatro Milpas have the best crunchy tacos I've ever had (plus their fresh flour tortillas are amazing). My absolute favorite seafood tacos used to be a truck called Mariscos Isaac in IB, but they're not a thing anymore :( So I was very happy to learn of Kiko's and I will absolutely be headed over there. Legit mariscos places always give you a cup of broth. Gareth really knows his grub.
Watching your video makes my heart happy. The Filipino community has been growing and thriving in National City. Showing the best food to your followers will make the lines a bit longer when we go home, but still worth it!
As a San Diego local I approve of all these spots! You got it down to the T honestly and it's also super cool seeing you interacting with the Raza around town and being polite and courteous! Keep up the amazing work
Hey Gareth! I am a native San Diegan and I love my hometown and the variety of cultures and food we have to offer. All 5 listed are definitely the top 5 in SD! Thank you for recommending to your many viewers and supporting our local small owned shops!
@@norwegianblue2017 Hahaha! You are sooo right. To me it looked like a dungeon because the lighting was not the best and coming in from the summer sun made it even darker. When Kusi made their report there were even bussinesmen in suits waiting in line outside. Cheers
I had no idea that the random food truck down the street from where I live was so good! I always pass by but never think anything of it. Definitely going to try it tomorrow night!
Wow. I live across the street from the taco van at the gas station in Mission Valley and have never tried it. I'm going to try it this week. I was always afraid to try it but I always see a lot of people there. Thanks!
I lived in SD for 11 years and *_Las Quatro Milpas_* was always my go-to spot to take friends and family when they would come and visit. Because of where it was located (slightly run down neighborhood at the time, and shitty parking), I always felt like I knew some little known secret taco spot. I never thought I would see it highlighted in a quality video like I just watched from you. Hands down, to this day almost 10 years later, and living in a town far, far away, still my favorite tacos ever. I always got the pork tacos, but everything there is soooo freaking good. Quality video man. Thanks!
I live in La Jolla but have to drive to Vista for the best tacos on the planet. You guys haven't lived until you've eaten at Vamos A Texcoco. It's nothing but lamb barbeque and it makes my mouth water just writing this comment.
I lived in San Diego for 30 plus years. And only ate at one taco stand on the list. So I know what my wife and I will be doing here real soon. Thank you for the video.
I am Mexican and I moved to San Diego last year I love tacos and I promise you the best tacos you will eat are from a taco truck in Chula Vista named MR. ADOBADA you need to try them 🤤
Anthony Bourdain even said San Diego is great but Tijuana is where it's at. Baja Med cuisine and some of the best tacos I've ever had. I lived in San Diego and nothing compares to TJ tacos..
the best part of Tacos el Gordo is that it is open so late that when you are out for a night and have had some drinks, there is absolutely nothing better to eat at 2am! always hits the spot.
Chula Vista is my hometown before I moved further north. The adobada tacos from Tacos el Gordo are just the BEST! Gonna get some this weekend. Great video.
I’ve been staying in San Diego for nearly a month now. Mom’s recovering from surgery in La Jolla and I was wondering where I could get some authentic tacos. Thanks for making this video! 🌮
As a born and raised SD kid, this video is on point. #1 Cuatro Milpas... Rice & Beans & Tamales! #2 Tacos El Gordo... Mulas, any meat! They are a must have, but only if you want the real deal.
@@glamsheeTypical paranoid response. There are sections of TJ that are perfectly safe and clean with some of the best cuisine happening. Get away from Revolution Blvd. Go back and watch Bourdains episode in TJ. At Comicon Bourdain had huge praise for TJ.High end restaurants like Mission 19 in Zona Rio serving amazing Baja Med cuisine. To this day nothing beats TJ tacos just 20 min from downtown San Diego.
You gotta try Pelachos in Escondido they have the best birria tacos If you ask me they need to move out of that location its like a hidden taco shop they also have home made ice cream
Hopefully when the whole of the U.S is a lot safer, will be glad to see if you could do a '5 must try Pizzas in New York' Kind regards Gareth, and I really enjoyed watching this video and how you respectfully communicate with the locals especially communicating with them in their own language.

I don’t know how I got here but I like this video. I am Dominican 🇩🇴 in NYC went to visit California in 2019 and 2020 and I was in Pasadena the Mexican food are really good over there too. 😍 That’s a lot of food 😁 Enjoy it!
Have you tried Tom's BBQ here in North Park, it's a little hole in the wall, but you have to try their pineapple buns , coconut buns and pork buns, you have to get there early I do mean early as soon as they open as they sell out.
Havent heard of Mitchs, gonna try it. Tacos El Gordo to me is the best hands down, if you're in the area again check out a food truck on Main and Hilltop called Tio Pepes. They have a restaurant in TJ, tortas ahogada and carnitas.
My family & I went to Mitch’s the same day you posted the original version of this :) the tacos were pretty decent, but the clam chowder was to die for! Please do a part 2!
Kiko's is amazing! You should try Yesenia's Mexican Food and Ice Cream in North Park...very close to that food truck location. I recommend the Birria taco or beef taco. I've ordered quite a variety there and enjoyed everything.
@@junkv57 You talking about the original on Bonita or the new little one over by the 805? I usually go to the restaurant just because the original is too small and packed. If you haven't tried them, the Shrimp Chipotle Fries are insane!
I always say that I'll try any place, if I don't like it I won't go there again. San Diego has so many taco shops that it would take forever to get through them all. Great video by the way.
Up north in Oceanside, Miramar Fish Tacos. Their Octopus tacos are mouthwatering. They also do a really unique version of a california burrito with smoked tuna.

#4 Las Cuatros Milpas in Barrio Logan

Jennifer is right...taco stand in LA Jolla...im from orange county and whenever I'm down in the SD area I MUST go there
#2 is actually at 5494 Mission Center Road, just off Friars Road. There is no gas station at 6090 Friars Road.

This guy need to do a part 2 and include Birria tacos to!
Just tried this taco truck in Chula Vista. Look them up on Instagram @thebirriatruck
He needs to include the 664 Tj Birria
I recommend the food truck Burrieria La Loteri. 6873 Federal blvd San Diego 91945. Awesome birria. The queso Taco is delicious!
Tuetano in San Ysidro is good
For birria? Definitely include Fernandez in South SD....
These spots are where true locals go. The other vlogers just to to trendy spots. Best video I’ve seen on local San Diego staples.
Totally !!
True that!
These are the trendy spots.
I just moved to Utah from San Diego and this video made me cry. Beautifully filmed and so spot on!
Don't they have taco shops there?

I’m old school Daygo, any taco shop that ends with Bertos, Robertos, Albertos, Hilbertos etc. Is good for me, lol...

Try out La Taqueria in San Francisco’s mission district (Mission & 25th)
Yeah that's what up so i know you been to Don Jilberto's and El Puerto Taco Shop fasho!!!
Spring valley- saritas, La posta, La sinaloense and carnitas de Michoacán taco shop. They are still doing justice out here.
@@Miss_Cali That's one of the better places in the city for sure

As 40 year veteran of las quatros milpas its still my all time favorite, I go for the pork tacos and rolled tacos, And you have to use the hot sauce .
I love the rolled tacos! Nice& crunchy & not as messy!

A two bite taco at the first place! Looks so good. I love how Gareth attacks each taco. ☺️

I like the OG (small) shop better than the new restaurant. Something about it makes all taste better.
@@junkv57 You talking about the original on Bonita or the new little one over by the 805? I usually go to the restaurant just because the original is too small and packed. If you haven't tried them, the Shrimp Chipotle Fries are insane!
El Cotixan on Genesee off Balboa is my go-to spot. Also Bahia on El Cahon Blvd & Florida and Ponce's in Kensiington.
Adding these to my list, thanks David 👍
Damn that Mulita looks so good.... yummy, saludos from National City/ San Diego
It was delicious, and aggressive! 😆 Cheers!
I always say that I'll try any place, if I don't like it I won't go there again. San Diego has so many taco shops that it would take forever to get through them all. Great video by the way.
Let’s give some more taco recommendations around SD, I like “Los Primos Birria” in Chula Vista
Lmao that place weak af! over priced, small taco, and the tortilla hella cheap taste like Guerrero tortillas 🤢
Up north in Oceanside, Miramar Fish Tacos. Their Octopus tacos are mouthwatering. They also do a really unique version of a california burrito with smoked tuna.
@@stephdesportes4619 I will have to try them out next time i'm up there.
Thanks
@@SDsailor7 my pleasure!
