I Tried the BEST Mexican Street Food in San Diego (ft @thetacofiend1)

Traveling for the world’s biggest soccer event? Here’s how renting a car on Turo makes it easier to get around between games, cities, and everything in between. Find the perfect car for your trip at https://turo.yt.link/kKiNoaF with @Turo.

What’s the best Mexican street food in San Diego? To find out, I teamed up with local taco expert The Taco Fiend for an unforgettable taco tour through South Bay.

Our first stop takes us to an unlikely front-yard birria stand in Chula Vista that Taco Fiend believes serves the best birria in San Diego. Next, we head to a hidden gem near the Tijuana border for massive carne asada tacos and quesadillas topped with a surprising ingredient that’s become a local favorite. Finally, we wrap up the day with some of the most talked-about fish tacos in the city, proving that great Mexican food comes in many forms.

From birria and carne asada to Baja-style seafood, this episode is packed with authentic Mexican flavors, hidden gems, local recommendations, and the kind of places that make San Diego one of the best food cities in America. If you love tacos, street food, food tours, and discovering restaurants that locals actually eat at, this episode is for you.

    14:09 cocina de barrio has the bomb fish tacos. The fish they use is high-quality. Also, I get trying to go super authentic, but brigantine has several different fish tacos, including grilled which you can taste the fish more. Bluewater again, not traditional, but elite fish tacos
