La Fuente Mexican Grill: Authentic Mexican Dining Experience in San Diego

Came on a taco Tuesday around 12:30PM for lunch and the place was packed! Got my food within 10mins and did not know there was a separate pickup area for the tacos so I had to wait a bit longer. $2 tacos were a steal and I enjoyed their rolled tacos as well. I'll definitely come back and try their other menu items!

I came by for Taco Tuesday. Each taco was $2 while the Mulita is $3.5. It was a great experience as there are self service salsa to grab and a station to get tacos. Food itself is very delicious and juicy. My favorite had to be the Birria & the Pollo Asado. Only thing that I couldn't try was the Cabeza since it was out of stock. The atmosphere of the restaurant wasn't too loud. It's a spacious place and there is a fridge where you can grab drinks. The salsa is great on spice and if you can't tolerate it, there are cucumbers to help calm the tongue. I definitely recommend this place to dine with friends & family or even just to check out!

Sometimes (all the time) I go overboard with the food sampling. Did I need five tacos? Probably not, but everyone else was doing it and I fold under peer pressure. I'm sure there's a cry for help somewhere in there. Anyway. Cabeza Taco | Extremely juicy cabeza meat; great flavors too. Their corn tortillas are handmade and soft, to the point where your taco will likely fall apart. Chicken Taco | The flavor was slightly lacking, but the chicken was tender. Carnitas Taco | Deliciously savory and the meat pulled apart easily. Birria | Succulent and the juices it stewed in was amazing. One of my favorites. Fish | Crispy battered fish with a creamy sauce. It's pretty good. I would love to get more tacos someday! It's definitely worth the drive.
