La Gordita Mexican Food

Quite possibly the best taco shop/mexican restaurant in North County. 5 stars in every category. I drive an hour each way to eat there , it's THAT good.

This food is amazing, the flavor, volume and price can't be beat in all of North County San Diego. I'm so fortunate to live within a few miles but would travel an hour to eat their authentic Mexican food. Their clientele consists of mostly Hispanic folks and that says slot. It's clean with an A rating and the service is fast with very little wait even when it's busy. The Carnitas is my go to plate but the Carna and Fish dishes can't be beat. Make sure you have room in your fridge for leftovers because you'll fill up before it's pow. I'm always disappointed when we choose another mex place so don't bother.....enjoy

First time here. I ordered carne asada fries, carne asada gordita and a huarache with carne asada on top. Everything I ordered was under $10. Very affordable. The huarache was my favorite! If I'm ever visiting Vista I will definitely come back
