Agave Taco Shop - A Hidden Gem in San Diego for Authentic Mexican Food

Strawberry Agua Fresca 5/5 by itself. Customer services was cool. Food was okay, nothing to rave about. The spicy carrots weren’t spicy at all , and I’m a sucker for the heat meaning everything makes me sweat and cry lol. Not sure if I’ll be back . But give it a try and form your own opinion.

This place is FANTASTIC! This is not your average Mexican food spot in San Diego. This place is above the rest. I’ve eaten here multiple times and every thing I’ve had is delicious. The adobada has incredible flavor. The birria tacos were phenomenal. I can’t say enough positive things about this place. And Adriana is a fantastic human.!

Really great carne asada the only downside was no children's menu or options which made it hard to come up with a substitute without paying for an adult portion for a toddler who eats enough to not be able to share your own plate with.

First of all when I first got there they gave me flowers tortillas, rice, and beans all for five dollars and then I went back and got the taco and enchilada combo plate. Also had the carne asada nachos too ., the beans were amazing. The vegetables were nice and fresh I also ordered a Agua Fresca. It was refreshing tasted more like melon than pineapple. The customer service always five star. They’re very helpful and patient. Prices are a little high, but it’s worth it.

In town for work. Staying nearby. The best tacos I’ve ever had in my entire 40 years on this earth. A religious experience. I ordered through Uber Eats. It was so good I was moved to call the place and praise them on how amazing it was. Tacos de Birria slaps hard.

Had the Pastor taco and a Birria taco. PASTOR was over the Birria taco. Red sauce was over the green sauce. 1 regular size taco can be made into two , if you’re making pennies stretch like me. Parking is impossible with my van, so I always buy something from 7-11 and sneak over here to eat.

They have a drive thru. Rating the potato rolled tacos only: generous sour cream, good green salsa, good amount of toppings! Theyre hard to find now that Bravos shut down! Staff is nice and they refreshed the old building and gave it a face lift and added a nice mural inside (not seeing a public restroom anywhere though). Second visit- tried veggie burrito includes, beans rice lettuce cheese sour cream and guac. HUGE burrito, could be two meals, nice churros too.

I came here a half an hour before they closed and their front door was locked and they just gestured for me to come to the drive thru window. I asked for three tacos and a churro & somehow the lady rung me up to 28$ total. I was like something must be wrong, it shouldn’t be that expensive for three tacos. The lady was like this is our three taco plate (without specifying I was getting the large size tacos) only to find out later they gave me three super big tacos which was not what I wanted. I wanted three mini tacos which I’m sure would’ve been half as much, but the lady failed to mention they had two different size options and just charged me for the bigger ones which was annoying as hell. The lady taking my order was clearly upset that I made a comment about how expensive the tacos were when she then said “OK this will be my last order of the night” even though they were still open for another 20+ mins. I came here a couple more times after this and the food is generally really good. The same lady is also pretty nice overall, she just doesn’t seem happy to be working there and is only person I ever seen when I go there.
