Taco Motion

Had a fish Burrito for lunch, the fish was mushy and the burrito tasted bad.
Worst Mexican food I have had in a long time.

This place is ok… you can tell they put little care into their food and that the ingredients aren’t fresh. But it is very affordable if you are looking to spend a buck or 2 and grab something quick. The store is also pretty dirty and in need of a deep cleaning.

99c fish taco, bait an switch.
ive been goin here for years. fish tacos were always bomb. a few years ago they were 99c all the time but went to $ 1.50. They now have a special on sun-​mon for 99c fish tacos, I was stoked to hear it ! so i went in and bought 3. considering i was expecting the same quality taco i have had before there, i was disappointed. I would call it more of a cabbage taco with added fish. The batter was good but the fish fillet was more like the size of a fish stick. They need to standardize the amount of fish … just sayin

Literally the worst food I’ve had in PB. Rolled tacos taste like cat food. Quesadilla is awful. Burrito is awful. Service is as bad as it gets. People who say this is good are people who would eat anything. Mexican joints are everywhere so go ahead and waste your money here if you want.

4 stars for the best California burrito in PB. The Cali burritos at Taco Motion are a great value for the price. The french fries are fried crisp, and the ingredients are fresh. Wrap that all in a grilled tortilla that melts the cheese into goey deliciousness. I like to top that off their salsa verde which has a great flavor.
California burritos are all I order here so I can’t comment on how anything else is.

I loved to go here all the time the food WAS good, I haven’t gone to this place in a while and didn’t know it had changed owners but I still went in… BIG MISTAKE! First of all the prices have gone up and its ridiculous! Next we ordered a Machaca Burrito and the cashier was nice and friendly, we waited and waited they only have one cook and a half counting the cashier. They ran out of eggs and had to go the the 7 Eleven next door! We waited and finally after a very long time we got our food. They offered us some salsa but we just wanted to leave ASAP, got home it was a 3 minute walk back. Burrito was still hot, flavor was disgusting it tasted like left over meat! We didn’t finish it! ABSOLUTELY WILL NEVER RETURN HERE! If you want good Mexican food that doesn’t disgrace my people go to Cotijas 2 blocks down!!!

Don’t hate on Taco Motion!
I’m afraid that this is about as solid as a Taco Shop that’s open till 2am can get.
They have maintained their food quality (The burritos do not drip grease) and portion size while other recently RE-​NAMED taco joints are focusing more on marketing and end up giving you less grub for your dollar.
Lastly, how can you deny the radical logo that was probably designed and been hanging above the place since ’89. That is super OG.

If you want good mexican food… stay away from this place…
upon entering you do get that mexican environment. oh but don’t let that fool you. I had the carnitas burrito and oh let me tell you.
First it was super greasy, had trouble breathing after finishing it, second it had no taste to it, luckily I have my own bottle of tapitio which makes any burrito taste good. and lastly later that night my stomach was in commotion. thank you taco motion. I’m thinking the meat wasn’t cooked properly I don’t know. all I know is that I am not going to this mexican place ever again…
recommend the 2 taco places down garnet… both near the tavern…

There are certain indisputable laws in nature.
Lex I: Unus burrito foulus, movendi velox per directum.
(translation: A Taco Motion Taco, in motion, will remain in motion.)
Not Galileo, nor DaVinci, nor Newton can argue that the inertial force of a biological mass, once set in motion, cannot be overcome by the body at rest. The classical mechanics of the Taco Motion Lobster Burrito is, in fact, and unstoppable force.
When the bacterial acceleration exceeds the coefficient of digestive resistance, the resultant action of quantum force, can only be overcome by the circular gravitational pull of the flush.
If a body is traveling in a direction, generally toward Taco Motion, then that body should remain in motion, in an equal and opposite direction.

This place is a light to a moth. except the light is carne asada burritos and the moth is my drunk azz and many other of my brothers and sister bonded by the sweet effects of alcohol. Yes. If we are drunk together we will enjoy taco motion along with laughing and good times.
So this ain’t the best Mexican food joint in PB… but that’s not what this place claims to be. Clearly its goal is not to be a restaurant. And created for chemically off-​balance people.
And if your not drunk and just feel the urge for a fatty dish of Mexican food. (because every somewhat healthy/​not over weight person deserves this somtimes) this place has a pretty big menu. wouldn’t recommend the California burrito here if your that type of person.
Night time drunk: carne asada burrito
morning drunk/​hang over: chorrizo burrito
So for achieving the needs of drunk people and dealing with belligerent customers every night of the week for a good price… I thank you taco motion with 4 stars on this lovely website.

Typical mexican place. Would much rather go to Santanas but my friends are usually lazy and come here rather than walk to my car so I can drive them there
They have a bathroom but claim that it’s broken! My BF snuck back there while a friend was ordering but when my friend tried she got screamed at.
If you look out the window and squint on a weekend night the drunk stumbling people look like zombies.

I was visiting my sister in San Diego. We stopped here on New Years day primarily because they were open. When we walked in I got excited because it was fully staffed by Hispanic women. My sister ordered their California burrito, which she devoured. I ordered the vegetarian burrito and a potato taco. The burrito was heavy and tastey.
I absolutely loved the potatoe taco though. The taco shell had to be homemade and was phenomenal. It was topped with lettuce and shredded yellow cheese, but that was some of the best cheese I had in San Diego.
Side note: Why is Mexican food in San Diego so anti cheese, particularly white cheese?
Next time I’m in town, I’m going back for the taco shells and the explore the variety of other vegetarian options.

Found this place on Unilocal since I was walking around waiting for my family up the street who were shopping and didn’t feel like having fast food. I ordered the Burrito Extreme, which was made with carne asada. It was big and packed with the meat, ricem beans, sour crème and shredded yellow cheese. It comes dry so you can hold it in your hands. I ate mine OK as I was pratically starving and Chipotle was too far up the street. The inside of the burrto seemed cold (or maybe it was shredded cheese that wasn’t even melted) that gave that impression. The small salsa «bar» didn’t even have ice on the bottom of the trays, just some fan blowing over them, presumably to keep things from landing on it? The salsa bar did have some grilled and salted jalapeño peppers, but they too were cold (other places usually serve them with grilled onions HOT).
Just canned sodas, not «fountain» drinks as they say. If back in the area again, will pass for other choices…

I’m looking for the tastiest bean and cheese + guac burrito in the PB area. So far, Taco Motion is winning. It comes out to about $ 4, which is pretty much what that burrito costs anywhere. But, the kicker is the burrito is like grilled or the tortilla is extra cooked or something. It is slightly crispy and browned on the outside. Other than that, it is pretty much your standard bean and chee.

Taco Motion (
) has a breakfast burrito that costs a total of $ 6.53. At that price, it better be damn good. While you’re there pondering that idea, you get the pleasure of looking at a burro sporting a stylish, yet seemingly comfortable, sombrero (
).
Breakfast burrito # 65 —
Undercooked bacon was the main reason why this burrito tanked. It was a thick-​ass burrito but the bacon ruined it.
This place has a special red phone that you can use to call Mexico (or any other Latin American country, for that matter) if you need to. I mean, I wonder how many people have stood in line at this place and thought to themselves, «Man, if only I could call someone in Mexico RIGHT NOW to find out if the water is still undrinkable these days.» If so, BAM, there’s the hotline for you.
Well, I successfully flushed $ 6.53 down the toilet. But I’m helping the economy, right? Taco Motion is definitely going through the motions when it comes to their breakfast burrito. Thankfully, they’ve helped me meet my bad «Play On Words» quota for the day with that last sentence.

There is HONESTLY not many things better than the California burrito sans guacamole here.
I love it. I absolutely love it and wish i could eat one every single day.
Sadly that is not an option, but if I could… I would. Yum.

I enjoyed my burrito from this place. I loved the tortilla, and the carne asada was cooked perfectly. But no sour cream? How come So Cal taquerias don’t put sour cream in their burritos? Get with the program people!
My friends also enjoyed their bean and cheese burrito. My other friend LOVED her fish burrito. It was also a lot bigger than all our burritos.
The chips were a little burnt and their salsa bar sucks. Their tacos looked damn good though.

My Extreme Burrito was tasty, primarily because of all that sour cream. A little bit more meat wouldn’t have hurt. The tortilla is par-​baked so it flaked up real nice and yummy.
So I was staring at my burrito being made; it was being made by a lady who was talking to the cashier. I think I was creeping them both out because I was just staring. But I was amazed of how expertly she was making the burrito. It was almost second nature to her, of when to flip the tortilla and adding the right amount of topping.
Those 81 cent bags of spicy carrots and peppers are delicious. Next time I’m buying at least two. They aren’t even spicy at all!

Went for a fish taco and 3 rolled tacos. Fish taco was good, the rolled tacos, just so so but plenty of quac and cheese. Couldn’t taste the beef, had little flavor. Self serve salsa bar with roasted jalapenos, which were good. The Horchata was ample sized. Around $ 6 for all.
Shares a parking lot with the Hawaiian place, Mahina.
. The lady taking my order got nervous and asked why I taking photos, I told her I was going to send these pics to friends and tell them about it.

Our hero: «Hi I’m half full right now… so how many tacos would it take it fill me up? Two? Three?»
Woman at counter: «So you want two? three?»
Our hero: «I don’t know, I’m asking you.»
Woman at counter: «Dos?»
Our hero: «Uhhh… is that enough to make me totally full then?»
Woman at counter: «Dos tacos?»
Our hero: «Yeah sure then… maybe two fish tacos, or three if you don’t think that’s enough.»
Man in the kitchen: (walks up to the front) «How many fish tacos?»
Our hero: «Two.»
Man in the kitchen: «Dos tacos? You sure?»
Our hero: «CI. DOS TACOS.»
Man in kitchen: «Okay!»
Our hero: «Gracias.»
