San Diego Taco Factory

First visit was great (wet burrito), second visit, I ordered something different and it was terrible. I decided to not count them out, so the third time, I ordered my original wet burrito with steak. The burrito was ice cold and there was more charred grit from the grille than actual steak. The owner was very apologetic and offered a full refund and would replace my meal, as well as the other meals that I’d ordered which were equally cold and terrible. The next day, we ordered again, were told 10 minutes, 25 minutes later, we’re presented with the completely wrong order and when we notified them, they said they were busy and we’d have to wait another 20 minutes for them to remake the order. The attentive owner at this point refused to speak to me, and stayed in the back. Definitely won’t be back.

I didn’t know what to expect but I had Chipotle in mind when I went in. Similar sort of price range.
I had the Pollo Pavo with Pollo Colorado and it was fantastic. My wife had the quesadilla with Pollo Oaxaca. Both were fantastic. Much more flavor than what you get at chipotle. I’ll be back to try the carry out window.
I believe this is a local shop, not a chain.

I grew up in California and lived there for 46 years! This is not authentic Mexican food.
Puréed guac? Are you kidding me? The food is very underwhelming. Our chips were stale, and the guac was horrible. We had shrimp and fish tacos. Meh… no seasoning, no salt, just bland.
The service was ok, but I didn’t expect it to be a basic take out type of place where you order up at the counter. if the food had been great though, that wouldn’t have mattered to me.
Also, I think they are remodeling. Is this a new place or what? Because it felt undone. The bathroom could have been cleaner etc.
Just not my kind of place at all. Won’t be going back.

After my third visit I’m comfortable with awarding a five star review.
Dinner consisted of Mahi Mahi tacos, grilled chicken nachos, and a burrito. Everything was nothing short of outstanding.
Note: Initially I believed the ordering process to be a bit tedious but this appears to have worked itself out.

Two words: Simple. Delicious. Affordable. Authentic.
OK that was four words, but it goes to show this joint exceeded my expectations. The shrimp on those shrimp tacos were juicy and plump. The fish Tacos and Carnitas Tacos were also highly recommended. You can’t go wrong here. For take out, might be best to call ahead. This is ain’t your fake, mass-​produced, fast-​foodified Tacos, this is as real as it gets.

Good flavors and food truck in a store feeling. Tried for the first time and despite some glitches in the ordering process (still working out the menu and ordering kinks) they were very prompt to solve them. Have had mexican many times before, but this has been definitely one of the tastier so far. Tried the shrimp tacos, cod tacos and quesadilla. All very tasty.

We had the Atlantic cod, mahi mahi and LA tacos. They were decent, with the LA taco needing more seasoning. The big problem is that they are not worth $ 4. I should not have to spend $ 12 to eat 3 small tacos. We also ordered the Flautas with carne asada and these were not good. They were not crispy and were very dry. Too much money for the final product in my opinion.

Great experience! I am a sucker for good shrimp tacos but normally will not order them except in Mexico or a few select places in SoCal, but I walked in talked to the cook (who is from San Diego) and he assured me they were excellent. Man am I glad I listened to him be cause they were amazing. 2 shrimp tacos and a side of rice filled me right up. I’ve been back twice and thinking about stopping in again this evening! I would really like to try a few more things on the menu but the shrimp tacos were soo good I just don’t wanna miss out!

I don’t know if it was the day we went but definitely did not get the experience all the other reviewers seem to have had.
Overpriced, over spiced, slow service, unpleasant atmosphere in my opinion.
Chips were too salty to eat, salsa was gelatinous?! My husband’s carne asada burrito had no distinguishable flavors, rice was under cooked, meat was over cooked and didn’t taste like meat, just spice, inedible, he couldn’t finish.
At least the cashier was a sweet girl with an infectious smile, best thing they had going for them on a Sunday afternoon.
Definitely will not be going back or recommending.

Awesome. Seriously good food. My three kids loved their food (tacos, chick fingers and quesadilla) and my wife and I went to town on ours.
I had the Rollo Prava with canitas. Delicious!
Clean place, nice people, and all around a great lunch.

I LOVED the tacos here. I got two carne asada tacos with white onion, lettuce, tomato, and the yellow chile. Perfect amount of spice, delicious seasoning on the flank steak. New place: so still working out the kinks with their internet/​payment system. But let me tell you. Some patience is greatly rewarded with these tacos. I also had the chips and Guac, if you don’t like lime you won’t like the Guac, but I appreciated it.

This place has the best tacos in the area with lots of choices. The menu has sooooo much on it, so it’s confusing what to order and how to order it. That’s my only only criticism. Clean up the menu and take so stuff off of it too. Other than that the food is really good.

I’m very impressed with the wide selection of authentic Mexican flavors and food. It is wonderful to have an authentic, casual restaurant so close to us in Aurora. Great location being near the busy Target and Home Depot shopping center. Great choice in lieu of Chipotle for the better ingredients and although some have mentioned that this is on the pricier side, but really, for the variety you can’t get elsewhere, this is rather cheap (think Barrio — yikes!).
The ordering process can be a bit long with all the menu choices, and just because I’m decisive, I know that doesn’t mean everyone else is :). With that said, I appreciate being able to «make my own». Perhaps having a few recommended meals would help. The food can also take a bit of time to prepare, but the staff is really friendly and the food is worth waiting for. Kudos to the owner for helping out in the front.
I got the wet burrito, with chile mole, an authentic red sauce and chipotle crema with lots of toppings. My husband ordered the machacha oaxaca taco and flautas with machacha Colorado. They were all excellent, but our favorite was the oaxaca. The chips and orange chile sauce were very tasty, too.
Now, if only this place could serve Mexican beer… :)

I stopped by the new taco place in Solon — and glad that I did. I had three tacos, all carne asada, and am really pleased with my choice. Excellent spices, great toppings, and a variety of sauces.
But I am getting ahead of myself, San Diego Taco is great find. The tacos are built, first by selecting the shell, then the protein, then toppings. With 4 types of taco shells, 23 different protein preparations, and 18 sauces or toppings, if you can’t find something you like —
Fish tacos come in Mahi Mahi, Sordfish, Perch, Cod and Shrimp as an example of their broad appeal. My Carne Asada was very good, well seasoned, tender and was highly recommended.
I will be back to try the burritos, burrito bowls or wet burritos. They even advertise burgers, pure angus. Prices are reasonable.
Try them, you will not be disappointed!

Food is fresh and delicious.
It’s a little bit pricey, but the seafood tacos were great and the taco salad was yummy (not enough lettuce though)
Basically you design what you are eating!

Found this little gem on social media and glad we did. Stopped in for a late dinner. First, they are remodeling so ignore the décor or lack of it. Owner was super friendly and checked on us to ask if we needed anything. You basically pick your main dish — tacos, quesadillas, burritos, etc. Then pick your protein and there are lots of choices! Try the fish taco — you won’t be sorry. Carne asada was solid and carnitas was flavorful. Lots of different condiments, salsas, etc. So much to try. Everything is cooked fresh and staff was friendly. We will be back.

I almost cried eating my taco it was so good. The mango and pineapple salsa was to die for! I got the corn and flour tortilla, I prefer flour! Pollo Oaxaca was so flavorful and the carnitas was heavenly. The staff made ordering way easy so just talk through it with them and build your own, they offer suggestions too! Love the reasonable pricing and food came out quick. COME GET YOU SOME TACOS! Bowl is good too, but I’m a taco girl!

We will routinely drive 20 – 40 miles for good tacos (hello La Loma in Akron and Señor Tacos on Painesville!). However, it would be really really REALLY nice to have a great taco place 5 minutes from home. Enter San Diego Taco Factory.
The space is cheery with bright colors and upbeat music.
Kevin, the owner, was running back and forth between the counter and the kitchen when we walked in. The menu is a slightly bewildering option of different shells, proteins and toppings that you mix and match — it’s like a chaotic Barrio… on steroids… lots of steroids. After spending several long minutes staring at the blackboard and printed menu, we cornered Kevin and asked him to order for us. We ended up with three tacos (chile mole, puya pork and machaca mole), a kids quesadilla and a half verde half mole wet burrito with carne asada, pinto beans and Colby cheese.
The food arrived and my eyes nearly fell out of my head because, holy mole, that burrito was the size of my head! Husband was already well into his tacos by the time I took a bite of the burrito. The carne asada was extremely flavorful and the verde and mole topping the burrito were perfectly tangy and smoky. The chile mole taco was delicious. The sopapillas perfectly crunchy, cinnamony and sweet. The kiddo loved the rice and black beans. On a regular night, the burrito would be dinner for two or two meals for one but tonight we demolished it all!
We watched a busy Kevin taking the time to interact with almost every customer that walked into his restaurant tonight — we are big fans of restaurateurs who make the effort to do that. We are even bigger fans of people who are visibly putting in a tremendous amount of effort and energy into doing what they love. As we were chatting with Kevin, we were told that starting May 5, there will be even more items on the menu including al pastor, agua frescas (Jamaica!) and horchata.
If the pastor is as good as the food we ate tonight, we will save quite a bit on gas as 20 – 40 mile long taco trips are exchanged for a 3 mile one… I am looking forward to that.

If I could give it 4.5 stars I would. They need to get their ordering process down but they mean well with all those choices. I suggest a happy dog style sheet. You’re always greeted by upbeat latin music and the food is worth the short wait. They forget some order details (hence the suggestion) but their food is on point. Really authentic and probably the best fish taco in the area. Can’t wait to watch them grow!

The tacos here are really full flavored. No bland browned ground beef here. I’m talking about carne asada, carnitas, marinated chicken, shrimp and fish. There are vegetarian protein options of black bean, grilled veggies and tofu. Fresh toppings to choose like lettuce, tomato, onions, peppers and cilantro. Choice of various chilies from mild to x4. Make your taco custom or order «authentic.» The tacos are prepared with no shortage of spice. «Authentic» tacos with carne asada on this visit. They are currently my favorite on the menu.
This place is worth trying if you are in the area.

Noticed this place when we were in the area grabbing dinner the other night so stopped by on Saturday for a trial run. This location is very new and is still going through the additional opening pains of not having beverage dispensers out as well as Little to no decorations. One of the initial potential problems is the age of the workers and looking extremely extremely young. We will chalk it up to being very new but our order had tacos that were wrong as well as we got charged the wrong prices as well. Would we be back? Yes as this place has our interest of being new and different type of tacos.

The GREATEST tacos outside of Mexico!
I can’t believe how authentic and delicious these tacos are. The Chef is from San Diego. It reminds me of the little surf shack tacos I would eat every day off after surfing in Rosarito Beach. I ordered Carnitas, Chicken Oaxaca, and carne asada. They are small so order a bunch of them. All three were absolutely perfect. It couldn’t possibly be any better. They have several sauces but I highly recommend getting the authentic red on the side (it’s spicy).I would give it more than 5 stars if I could. I just ordered 3 more (6 total) and washed them all down with a authentic bottle of coke from Mexico. This is without a doubt my absolute favorite restaurant in Ohio period!!! I asked about a beer license and was told it will be coming soon (within 4 months) :)
