In general, Rudy’s Taco Shop is excellent – really good flavor, nice tacos and fast.

Very disappointed. My wife picked up lunch for our family, the chicken quesadilla is all chicken. The “queso” is missing from the situation (don’t get me wrong, there is cheese, just very sparse). If you’re going to charge premium prices, you better provide a premium product. DO BETTER.

We traveled so far and had heard so many good things about the Mexican food in SoCal. After searching online we found Rudy’s and were so excited! We ran over and got a mix of items, but was a little blown away by the price. For a family of 4 it was $80. 6 street tacos, a combo meal of two tacos, two crispy tacos, super nachos and a 4 drinks. the drink machine had no ice, half the sodas were just carbonation. Got back to the hotel to dig in and we were immediately disappointed because the food had absolutely no flavor. Absolutely none. My daughter only ate the lettuce off her tacos, the carne asada just tasted like the most plain steak with absolutely no seasoning, the tortillas were store bought and barely microwaved warm, the pastor had a weird soapy taste and the nachos barely had cheese. We ended up just throwing it all away and snacking on our travel food. From a Tejana, it was just disappointing.

I usually go to Rudy’s at least three times a week. It’s a legit hole-in-the-wall Mexican place where everything on the menu is great. The carne vampiro tacos with fried cheese are simple but amazing. The California burrito is one of the best anywhere. The chicken mole plate or burrito is to die for if you’re a mole fan. And don’t leave without getting the ceviche. It’s made daily and just spicy enough with fresh shrimp and cilantro. The refried beans and rice are exactly what you want. People from out of town come to Rudy’s from the Omni La Costa resort next door because of its reputation. Support great local businesses! ☀️

We were stay cation up in Carlsbad and wanted a taco shop. The first time we ordered I was ordering for my son and made it very clear and kept repeating no guacamole and no salsa and she didn’t type it in and you can see the screen in front of you and she kept saying yeah yeah no guacamole no salsa, it came with guacamole and salsa so I had to drive back and have them remake it in which they did, but the cook had a little attitude about it. A few days later we tried it again and the same thing happened but at least this time I checked before I left. They remade it with the same attitude as before. Won’t go back and can’t recommend it, sorry.

Ordered Carnitas plate combo. Amazing helping of delicious meat chunks, fresca and Gauc. Show up hungry or split it. Garnered 4 huge tacos plus out of this order. Say yes.
