Nacho’s Taco Shop, located in San Marcos, CA, is receiving a spectrum of feedback that highlights both its strengths and areas for improvement. Customers rave about the welcoming atmosphere and quick service, with many praising staff members like Maria for their kindness and bilingual support.

Served by Maria there, she was lovely and very kind. They all speak both English and Spanish there and are very welcoming. I highly recommend them! I ordered tacos adobados and salsa verde for around 10, only for it to come in about 5 minutes!! Super quick and kind staff. I’ll be coming back often.

I stopped in here for a lunch during my errands run on Friday. Honestly, I was not really impressed with the food at all. I had ordered the chicken enchiladas.I’ve been to other local restaurants like Mr. and Mrs. taco and it’s 10 times better.

The BEST Carne Asada burrito in the world!!! I drive 60 miles just to get it! The owners and all employees are family, I've been going there for 35 years.

It exceeded our expectations! Recently ordered catering for a special event. My guests expressed positive feedback and wanted to know more about the restaurant. Everything was delicious, the meat (grilled Carne Assada and Carnitas) was very good and juicy. They made sure our meal was warm and very well organized with exceptional service! I believe Nacho's Taco Shop is a restaurant that should be encouraged by the community, they deserve our support.

Excellent nachos, the chips didn't get saugy. The carne asada was prepared once the order was placed. Will return again.

Driving around I saw a long line for Taco John's and Taco Bell. I stopped here at Nachos, where they have take out and also spaced out places to done in. I ordered Garlic Shrimp plate that came with a salad, rice, refried beans and guacamole besides a pan fried jalapeno and your choice of corn or flour tortillas. You also get pico de Gallo, green or red salsa on the side. The food was phenomenal and the personel was friendly and courteous. I had the cinnamon sugar cookies as well as the chocolate ones and they are also some of the best I have ever had. I am so pleased! Why go to a sub par place when you can get the real deal with no waiting in line!!!!
