" I had a pretty disappointing experience at City Tacos. While the reputation is great, I felt the tacos I tried were the least flavorful I have encountered in San Diego. Perhaps it was an off day, as many people seem to love it here, but the steak taco lacked seasoning, and the fish taco was bland. On the upside, the service was very friendly, and the venue had a nice ambiance. I didn’t give up entirely and plan to return to see if my next order fares better. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is amazing! I've been visiting City Tacos for years now, and it keeps getting better. The creativity in menu options is astonishing; you can always find something new to try! My go-to are still the classic carnitas and the new shrimp tacos. The freshness of the ingredients really shines through in every bite. Service is generally quick, but it can get busy during events. I love that they support local ingredients too. I highly recommend City Tacos to anyone looking for quality Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I expected more from City Tacos. The ambiance was great, but I found the tacos to be a bit lacking. I ordered a mix of traditional and some of their more creative options. While I appreciate the effort to innovate, some of the flavors didn't work for me. For instance, the scallop taco was very fishy and underwhelming. However, I will give credit to their staff who were very accommodating and friendly even during the busy lunch hour. I may give it another try, but I hope to sample something truly exceptional next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Came in for taco Tuesday, and I was thrilled with the discounts, but even before the price, the taste was immaculate! I knew I had to try the quesabirria, and it definitely lived up to the hype! The atmosphere was bustling, and the employees were friendly, adjusting my order with a smile. Highly recommend the fish tacos as well, they had a light crispness that complemented the freshness. I'm looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm a taco fanatic, and City Tacos did not disappoint! The menu had a great variety, from classic to creative options. I tried the famous birria tacos, and they were fantastic—full of flavor and freshness. The cherry on top was the service—very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Even the atmosphere was enjoyable with music that matched the vibe. I left feeling satisfied and can't wait to recommend this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who enjoys exploring local cuisines, I found City Tacos to be a delight. The atmosphere was casual yet vibrant, bringing a comfortable feel while you enjoy your meal. I particularly enjoyed the unique flavors they offered, especially the vegetarian options. The service was pleasant and efficient despite the lunch rush. I would recommend the taco platter for anyone who wants variety! " (*Curated Review*)

" During my trip to San Diego, I made it a point to visit City Tacos based on recommendations, and I’m so glad I did! The fish taco I had was hands down the best I’ve tried, packed with flavor and garnished perfectly. The service was thoughtful, giving me suggestions based on what I liked. I felt the ambiance was tailored to taco lovers and created a great local dining experience. Absolutely will come back! " (*Curated Review*)
