“ Terrific seasoning for all our meals! Burrito meal had super stuffed tortilla, my street tacos were so full of meat they would not close & rolled pollo tacos were perfectly crispy. We found our family Taco place Highly recommend the adobo ”
“ I am addicted to the steak fajita burrito and the pollo asado quesadilla. I eat at this place at least two times a week, sometimes more. It’s to the point where I know the owner. DO NOT SLEEP ON LOS PINOS. There are a lot of options in SD, but I keep coming back here because it’s just comfort food to the max. When I can’t think of what to eat, I come here. When I don’t feel like eating anything but I know I have to eat (depression) I come here (and it cures my depression). If you’re not eating at Los Pinos, what are you even doing with your life? ”
“ Best Mexican food in La Mesa hands down. If you're planning on going up the block to sombreros, don't waste your time and money! Everything I order off of the los pinos menu always exceeds expectations! ”
“ Best street tacos north of Mexico. Seriously bomb plate of food. 10/10 will return and recommend. GF got the #5 combo, I got the #8. Absolutely amazing :) ”
“ I'm not a tacoshop fan. I actually avoid them all together. It had been many since I had eaten at one and decided to give this spot a chance. I was in for a very pleasant experience. I have visited this this place a few times since my father is at a care facility close by and it is one of the few places I found to be good. The food is very flavorful and fresh. My favorite are the street style tacos. It is close to the TJ Tacos we love ”
“ Amazing food. It was my first time eating at this taco shop and I have to say the food was really good. The meat was well seasoned. The carne asada quesadilla was well done and sliced for dipping in hot sauce. Great place to eat if your around the area and located near other stores. ”
“ GET THE SAN DIEGO ROLL DOGS !!! Man I love hot dogs and the San Diego roll dog was amazing. So much flavor ! Trust me !! I also had their golden steak quesadilla, where it’s like Big Mac in the form if a quesadilla! Tried their tres leches cake, amazing as well. ”
“ The chefs make delicious food. The waiting/dining area is clean, has a TV showing pleasant videos of nature, and there are interesting art pieces adorning the walls. The staff provide excellent service, and even go above and beyond to make sure you'll have an excellent meal. I have had a great experience each time I've been there, and plan on continuing to be a patron. ”
