I personally can't say enough good words to describe my experience with them and their well thought out menu and of course the fantastic food. By all means give them a try if you haven't already.

One of maybe 3 places that has never gotten my order wrong. Foods on point. Service is great. Get my food quick.

Simply the best rolled tacos in all of San Diego. Smothered in tons of guacamole, lettuce and cheese. Can't really comment on the rest of the menu because I've never been able to resist ordering them every time I've went. Not close to my house at all but make a point to stop by every time I'm in La Mesa.

Went at the peak of the lunch rush and the service was great. Didn’t take too long and have to recommend the surf and turf burrito. Good sauce balance and generous ratio of shrimp and asada to the rice and cheese.

I've been going to Nachos since 2010 and I've yet to find to taco shop that makes carne asada fries like them. I came back to visit and got them again and they're just as amazing as I remembered. 10/10 recommend - the nacho cheese is the best

I ordered two adobada burritos with sour cream and three rolled tacos, and everything was excellent! The lettuce, tomato, and guacamole were fresh, and the tacos were perfectly crispy and delicious. The burrito tortillas were soft and fresh, and the meat was tender with great flavor. I highly recommend Nacho Taco — one of the best Mexican spots I’ve tried in San Diego. Excellent service and very friendly.

Great food at a great price. Stopped in for a quick bite, wanted something soft as I was at the dentist earlier so I ordered a quesadilla with guacamole and it was on point. Let’s be honest, quesadillas are the Mexican Mac-N-Cheese, just good comfort food that every kid would be happy with. Adults don’t usually order quesadillas and that needs to change. Nacho’s serves a great quesadilla. I ordered mine with guacamole and they put a generous amount in the quesadilla, not on the side as some do. Another thing that I appreciated, they cut it in half, not quarters like most do. When it is cut in quarters, the two main pieces have two cut edges and the cheese tends to run out the side you are not biting in to. This quesadilla had good flavor, was hot and plenty of guacamole, but the base price was only $5.11 and $1.50 for the guacamole, well worth it. The salsa was good, the verde was surprisingly spicy. Eat at Nacho’s!
