UTC keeps getting new shops. I visited the latest taco shop L 55. The space near Din Tai Fung is lovely.
birrea taco
Todo Pa La Cruda
I lucked out and found a parking spot across the street. There is only street parking here.
Carnitas Quiroga II
Market on 8th is pretty popular. I showed up a quarter to 11am and the closest parking spot was a block away. I visited a bunch of times when this food hall opened up. All those places are gone now. I took a look around at the shiny new businesses.
Tulum Seafood
I remember seeing this spot everyday when I was going to Mira Mesa High School which is on the other side of the fence.
Tuetano Taqueria
I love visiting Old Town except on weekends when parking is challenging. Visiting on a weekday at 11am it was like a ghost town. I found Tuetano Taqueria inside the Urban Market Food Hall. I ordered a regular birrea taco and a birrea taco on a homemade corn tortilla.
Crack Taco Shop
Crack Taco Shop gets its name from it’s “crack” tri-tip steak which originated from Seaside Market in Encinitas.
