The Family
Ensenada roots. San Diego soul.
Our family grew up in Ensenada, Baja California — where the corn tortillas are pressed fresh, the salsas have real heat, and the fish tacos are made the right way. We brought those recipes and that spirit to Mission Beach when we opened in June 2024.
Every tortilla is handmade and pressed to order. Every meat is marinated in-house. The salsa bar is stocked daily with three house salsas — mild, medium, and the spicy one that keeps people coming back.
Handmade Corn Tortillas
Pressed fresh to order, right in front of you. Gluten-free by nature.
House Salsa Bar
Three house salsas, fresh pico, hot carrots, pickled onions, cilantro & lime. Always stocked.
Gluten-Free Friendly
Dedicated fryer and separate prep area for all GF items.
Family Operated
You'll often find the family working the counter. That's the way we like it.

Parking Tip
Street parking on Mission Blvd is limited — there's a paid lot directly across the street. Worth every penny. Most customers say the tacos more than make up for it.
Accessibility
ADA-compliant restroom. No steps or stairs. We accommodate strollers and larger groups — inside seating available.
First Time? Start Here
The carne asada taco is the fan favorite — pair it with a birria taco and an agua fresca. Trust us.
