What User doesn't like about La Playa Taco Shop:
Seeing the high reviews, I was expecting great Mexican food from this place so ordered the carne asada (loaded fries) and enchiladas. The food looked good, although its taste was extremely mediocre and I couldn't even get through the enchiladas. The loaded fries had big chunk of meat in it that was hard to chew. The staff were courteous but the food made it a very disappointing experience. View all feedback. What User likes about La Playa Taco Shop:
We have tried a number of different Taco joints in San Diego and that was definitely one of our favorites. There were generous help from amazing guacamole that was every taco that was a treat. Tried the Carnitas and Al Pastor and was not abandoned. Would definitely recommend order and then walk to the beach to enjoy some delicious tacos. View all feedback.

The chorizo and egg burrito is absolutely incredible. The salsa is spot on. This restaurant truly offers an authentic and delicious experience.
