By If you are looking to try a new Mexican restaurant, or you have a Mexican-related crush, you’re in luck. You’re probably in luck because taco shops are a relatively new industry. And they’re also extremely popular. In San Diego, taco shops are very hot in general and in the last few years have become one of the most popular restaurants in the area.
The taco shops are open 24 hours (as opposed to the hours most Mexican restaurants are open), they don’t charge for most things, and the food is extremely good. Many of the places have a special on the menu for Halloween, and they sell chicharones, empanadas, and chicharrones, so you could be forgiven for thinking your taco bar is going to be similar in quality to any other taco bar in town.
I should also mention these places open an hour or so earlier than most restaurants, which is ideal for the first time you’re going.
The owners of el ranchito, Carlos Moreno and Luis Alberto, have been doing a great job of keeping things fresh and interesting for Mexican food lovers, so expect to find a taco bar that is just a couple of hours away from you.
I should also mention that the tacos are made with just the right amount of spice. If you’re a foodie like me, you’ll be happy to know I’ve found a taco place that is just a couple of minutes away from me called el ranchito.
The taco bar is open for lunch and dinner, so you might get lucky and find some tacos that have been left in the fridge. But if you want to eat something at a time that suits your schedule, the tacos are all right at your fingertips.
They are made with just the right amount of spice and you can usually eat them in the car. I know I did. I wasnt eating tacos the whole time I was in the car, but I was pretty sure I could eat two or three without burning myself.
The tacos at el ranchito are just as good as they sound, but of course they have a menu. I mean, who doesn’t want a taco? There are some other things too, most notably the tacos are made with just the right amount of spice.
The real taco magic is the spices. They come in every kind of spice you can imagine, from black pepper to hot sauce. They also have a good selection of fresh and dried chilies. And, of course, the tacos are all right at your fingertips.
Taco shops have always been good about making sure their prices are competitive. It’s just that they have always had to do the work themselves. So in this case, the folks at El Ranchito have worked with a local Mexican restaurant, and we get to see them selling their tacos right there in the food court.
