Raymundo's is fast, affordable, gives large portions, and is so delicious! Highly recommend any of the burritos, tacos, or bowls. Adobada and carne asada are my favorites here. Service is great too!

While the crowds flock to the touristy restaurants along the Main Street, those in the know take a short walk -- only about a block in -- to find an authentic local taco shop with all the regional favorites. We were in the area and were quite impressed with all of the food our party ordered. Our table had a tostada, carne asada fries, a shrimp taco, and a breakfast burrito with bacon. Food came out fresh, hot, flavorful and satisfying. Not too greasy and not too heavy, but serving sizes were just right. It's a small shop, with one hostess taking orders and one cook in the kitchen, and we got there right when it opened so there wasn't a wait, but as we were leaving more people started walking in so not sure how quick it is when busy. Caustion: The red salsa is HOT... but the salsa verde has a great flavor, and only a mild spice (if any). Overall a great taco shop!

Stopped by here after a visit to La Jolla Cove! We were excited to see they had such a huge menu. I got the Carne Asada plate and it was filled to the brim with food and a generous helping of meat! It was super tasty and it wasn't too long of a wait for the food, either. The spot is very no-frills, but the food is good! Parking is on the street.

Stopped in for some rolled tacos and they were beyond excellent. Very healthy serving of guacamole and definitely want to try more of the menu next time. Very clean inside and outdoor seating too. Sucks they are closed Sundays.

Prompt and very friendly service! She recommended the fish battered taco and the carne asada taco. I got both tacos, and they were both very delicious. I got sides of salsa but they were delicious, moist, and flavorful without it. Inside the restaurant was bright, spacious, and clean. Would recommend to anyone in the area.

Killing time and walking around checking out the food and shopping. Walked by this place and thought we have to give it a shot. My husband and I are self proclaimed taco shop critics so we had high standards. Overall prices, location & ambiance were exactly what we look for. We sat and chatted with the guy at the front who took the time to make the experience feel like family. We learned about his life and his dad who was a farmer and their garden as a kid. Salsa was delicious, carne was bomb and if you're feeling extra spicy go for the chili toreado. Give this place a shot!

I truly love this place, but the prices keep creeping up. It's kind of crazy that La Jolla Taco Stand is so much cheaper, but it's true. $11 carne asada burritos before tax is just the state of things I guess. I've attached the most recent menu, because the prices keep going up. With that said, I still love this place, and still come probably once a week.
