I love this place! It's in my neighborhood. The carne asana nacho are bomb! Staff is fantastic. I would highly recommend. Hole in the wall places are the
Best
The staff is so friendly and fast. I love their fish tacos plate. Their beans and rice are so yummy!
LOVE IT! Ask for the birria tacos wow! If u wanna look for a good Mexican place Mexicans will be there eating and they were! I lived at Mexico for over a year and was super happy place atmosphere is poor in design and attention minimal but food is good! IG @insecto
I've known the owners for nearly 30 yrs thru various incarnations of their taco shops in various neighborhoods, usually where I worked.
By coincidence , there latest shop of 10years is less than 1 block from the Apt I've been in for 15 yrs. I'm still a regular and satisfied customer. They've added so many 'comfort' foods to my life that I crave and can get nowhere else. Recommended by longevity
Love this place. We been coming to this location for years. Food is GREAT and they have multiple options for hot sauce. Clean place and great customer service. Food has a good flavor and many options to choose from.
If you are reading, this spot is a must try. Menu is typical of a taco shop, great service, clean establishment, and the cali burrito was flavorful. Although I got a burrito it wasn't super huge compared to other taco shops that are the size of an arm, which is actually a positive thing. It's a healthy portion. Nuff said.
Absolutely the best Mexican food around! Don’t let the “non fanciness” of the venue deter you from eating at this delicious local gem. The owners are the most friendly people and care about your experience and enjoyment of their food that they cook from the heart. Try it and you won’t regret it 🤙
It’s tough to tell one place from the next sometimes. Salsa’s normally guide my decisions between the standard Mexican go-to’s. This place is behind my house and I didn’t give it a fair chance for a while. Food quality is amazing and the family that owns it is awesome. Seems more like a place you’d find in chula instead of pb.
Had a super good breakfast burrito while I was waiting for urgent care across the street. 🔥🔥🔥
They had bomb food! I got the carne asada loaded fries and carne asada tacos!
Honestly the best taco shop in San Diego! I work in PB but I live in SDSU and if I’m hungry for Mexican food I will definitely drive the 20 minutes out here just to have their food dining and takeout is perfect everything is fresh. Everyone is so friendly. I love their customer service and everyone’s is just great people!!! Everything is good here!!!! Thank you Areli’s Taco! 🥰
The Cali Burrito was of good quality, decent size, it came with sour cream, and they have Three different salsas to choose from! Usually a Taco Shop will charge extra for sourcream! Friendly customer service was appreciated too!
Coming south from LA I expected better. Still good tacos but I feel the reviews are a little misleading. Maybe the reviews hyped it up too much for me and expected great tacos. But they are just good.
I had a great experience!! Their fish tacos are the best 👌 and most importantly, their customer service is amazing . In particular, Ashley, she was so helpful over the phone and in person when we went inside to pick up our food. I would HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone that is around the area!!!!
Excellent authentic Mexican food. Tacos de pastor (street taco style) are amazing. If you want real, authentic Mexican food, this is the place. Family owned and they are so kind and friendly. Very welcoming.
Very good customer service, clean enough location. Prices are okay, tacos were great, especially the fish tacos! Yummy!!!
However, I can't say the same about their enchiladas, at least not the one that was served to me that day. Their Chile rellenos are amazing! (Stuff Chile poblano with cheese, fried in a egg white batter), totally worth the combination plate! 😁. Their beans and rice are to perfection! So overall it's worth it! And do recommend Ortiz's Taco Shop #2.
One of our favorites in San Diego and our go to place for tacos. Fish tacos are DELICIOUS 😋 and they have good pescatarian/veggie options. Everything is delicious and the prices are unbeatable without sacrificing quality. When friends visit SD we always take them here at least once
Good food, friendly staff and good prices, what's not to like. There are lots of Mexican food restaurants in pb and I would rate this one in the top three.
I love Areli’s, but please be aware that they no longer do 3rd party delivery. Companies like DoorDash have not taken them off the site - it is not Areli’s fault that your food will not come.
Enjoy my torta al pastor. Really great taste!
