MARISCOS & BIRRIA EL PRIETO REVIEWS

So I bump into this mini ranchero cabaña taco place. I totally recommend it! There asada tacos are bomb. We got a little of everything. There aguas Frescas are homemade and there tortillas for the mulas are too. The servers are awesome (love their outfit by the way). They have birria, mariscos and tacos…. They are in the parking a lot from “Vargas birrieria”.

Totally worth it. Everything was great, particularly surprised at the red snapper tacos. So good. They also had a parking lot attendant helping everybody get in and out, he was so efficient and makes it so much easier to get some food and go.

It has been my favorite spots for years. Tacos are amazing and big. Seafood is very fresh. Very helpful staffs for non-Spanish speaker.

TACOS EL RANCHERO REVIEWS

Best Cabeza tacos in San Diego and probably all of southern California TBH! I could eat a million of these tacos! Everything I've had from here is super bomb! And unlike other taco trucks this one has tables, chairs, and a good selection of Jarritos sodas. Keep doing what you do and I'm a keep coming back for more!!! Thank you!.

I always get the adobabda. The tacos aren't the biggest but the flavor is there. Wish they would make portion sized a Lil bigger.

Tacos de caveza where great tasting. Will return.
