Taco Nazo

Taco Nazo
4.4 / 5 (3538 reviews)

Description

This bustling taco spot earns praise for fresh, flavorful seafood—shrimp and fish tacos, ceviche and shrimp cocktail frequently shine—backed by friendly service, Latin music and ample parking. However, inconsistent portions and quality, slow/to-go order fulfillment, occasional cleanliness issues and a reported food‑safety incident temper the praise. Expect a lively, casual atmosphere popular with students and groups; it’s a local favorite worth trying if you’re prepared for crowds and variable wait times.

I ordered a shrimp burrito to go, and while the weight was decent, I was disappointed to find it cut in half when I unwrapped it. Who does that? Apparently, they do. There were maybe four shrimp in the burrito, and it was mostly filled with beans and rice. I probably won't be ordering a shrimp burrito from here again. On the bright side, they did provide plenty of salsa. Thanks for that.

The food is good but it’s just too pricey. I think since the college is closed by and students spend regardless, they hike up the prices. Good food just pricy. Services is good. The workers are seen cleaning well.

These are some of the best Baja fish tacos you'll ever find. The crema is delicious, and the fish is perfectly battered and cooked. I'm familiar with Ensenada fish tacos, and these are an excellent representation. The cocktails are always fresh, and the ceviche is spot on as well. They offer both fish and shrimp ceviche, and you can't go wrong with either option. I highly recommend this place!

This restaurant is a local taco competition champion. I sampled their potato taco and the mixed seafood ceviche, and both were excellent. The ceviche has a great texture; it's not watery, overly sour, or too wet—rather, it’s moist, refreshing, and has a nice plumpness to it. The tomatoes, shaved cabbage, and onions are served cold, adding a sweet and crunchy element. The flavors are perfectly balanced, with no overwhelming sweetness or acidity. I believe this place is the standout gem of the strip mall. However, be prepared for crowded parking during peak hours.
