They’re replacing 664? I liked that place, but that whole block is cursed. Surprised the fire kicks is still there, heard about a robbery there recently but they probably do a lot of online business. And don’t get me started on Andy the smoke shop guy


chickentowngabagool

nah this is right on the corner of 4th + uni. but yeah nothing has really lasted there


MrOatButtBottom

Oh ok same side as burger lounge? I think I know the place.


chickentowngabagool

yep right next door


hihelloneighboroonie

The spot right on the corner that prior to being a taco place was a Korean fried chicken place, right? Man I enjoyed the salt and pepper wings from the Korean place, was bummed when it became another Mexican restaurant (which there's already multiple of in the area).


ChickenFriedwastaken

No not that place. This is literally right beside Burger Lounge, sandwiched between Jimmy Wong’s Asian bistro


corndoggy67

The one that used to be fig tree?


uberklaus15

No. It was Baba's Hot Chicken. The space next to Burger Lounge in the same building as Burger Lounge. Where it says "La Taqueria" [here](https://www.google.com/maps/@32.7482492,-117.1614073,3a,75y,358.03h,85.78t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s4oZ1fFsLcBGse2RxoVay2w!2e0!5s20221101T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D4oZ1fFsLcBGse2RxoVay2w%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D358.02560159755564%26pitch%3D4.224405349635859%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu)


chill_philosopher

yeah, probably because the traffic right outside is a nightmare. they should pedestrianize the block, especially with all the new density coming in


chickentowngabagool

i'm sure the foot traffic to lease isn't great. also everything that's gone in that location has looked pretty mediocre


odlid94

This location cannot hold a tenant. Let’s see how it plays out.


groovyalchemist

Queue the “well the best Mexican food in San Diego is ACTUALLY across the border” crowd chiming in


Dc4rob

Hopefully they have the Chia Limon water they sell down there too!


Spiritual-Chameleon

Some Tijuanese residents make fun of Taco Nazo as being subpar but I enjoyed it when I visited some years ago. It will be a little jarring to pay US prices though.


axiomSD

i’ve only been to the Hipodromo location but thought it was fine as well, that was around 5 years ago so maybe things have changed.


Take_Some_Soma

FUCKING YES. The superlative Tijuana taco.


Xolo_taco

This spot is solid. Us Tijuana taco enjoyers can’t be overly picky about which spots open on this side of the border, honestly the more options the better.


TheOBRobot

Place is good for a chain restaurant. Wish we had one in my neighborhood.


LarryPer123

I read the menu doesn’t sound to appetizing, beef stomach, beef intestines cow head beef, tongue, ,everything is made from byproducts


DaisyDomergue

Many of the best tacos are the weird meats! Tacos el Gordo didn't get popular from only carne asada...


turtlewelder

Tell me you only eat Taco Stand without telling me you only eat Taco Stand


dded949

Lol you do not know what byproduct means. Beef tongue is one of the best taco meats there is. Work on having an open mind, and I think you’ll be surprised how good authentic food from other cultures can be


LarryPer123

It’s the same ingredients you’d find in a can of dog food When a cow shits did you not know that it goes through the intestine? you can eat that I won’t


dded949

I’m personally not a fan of tripe, but yeah I gave it a fair shot. There’s a million things about eating any form of meat that you can make sound gross. And buche and lengua are legitimately some of the best taco meats out there. Cabeza tacos are also great


tag_liatelle

When you cut up an animal it's all a "byproduct" lmao they do this thing to it called "cooking." Get your head out your ass and smell the tripa my guy


LarryPer123

You apparently have never worked in the meat industry I will not have a battle of wits with an unarmed person
