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.

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!

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.

Texas is known for tacos, but NOTHING comes close to the tacos from the “mom & pop” taco shops in San Diego County, SoCal.

I love Texas and will be moving relocating there in the next 3 years. However, their tacos suck.

I actually heard the complete opposite. I heard that the tacos in the south of Texas like in El Paso for example are some of the best in the entire country. I guess it just depends on you ask. Me personally I know that California is an overrated place and would choose life in Texas any day of the week.👍

San Diego Mexican food sucks imo. Tex Mex is way better. Even Phil's BBQ is nothing compared to Texas BBQ. San Diego foods are very overrated.

@@Jmeister7 Phil's is garbage. Tex Mex is okay but I was disappointed when I once ordered tacos and they came in premade shells.

@@Jmeister7 California as a whole is an overrated place. It’s super expensive to live here, most of the people here are miserable. The overall happiness levels are higher in Texas. Most guys that I know from Texas make low income and live well and have beautiful girlfriends and wives. While the guys in California are struggling to survive and have to live with their parents to avoid unaffordable rents. It’s literally a California hell.

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!

@@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.

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!
