Aquie Es Texcoco - Chula Vista

I had one of the most bizarre meals here! It was absolutely incredible! I discovered this restaurant by driving by and seeing a long line of people waiting to be seated outside, so I decided to give it a try. I got the brain taco, which was excellent. It was smooth and creamy, similar to Alfredo sauce. The black fungus tacos tasted like mushrooms and had a distinct umami flavor. 10 out of 10 would suggest! The crickets were delicious! I liked how it came with salt and hot suace. I devoured every creature. It's addictive! My uncle ordered the rabbit, which arrived with tortillas. It tastes exactly like chicken with an abundance of bone. It didn't feel like anything exotic, but it tasted good. I'd suggest go for it if you're feeling daring.

Such a gem! One of the tastiest authentic restaurants in South Bay. Staff are quick, friendly, and helpful. Would recommend to anybody and will be going back!

I've been to their location in Tijuana and wanted to check out their new location in Chula Vista. This location is easy to spot and there's plenty of parking. We were seated promptly and given menus. We ordered a half pound of barbacoa and flautas. The meat was good but a little dry but the flautas were perfection. I tried the chicken, barbacoa, and potato flautas and they were all delicious! The service was a little slow and the prices are on the higher side but overall it was a good experience and I will definitely be back!

Texcoco is a region in Mexico that specializes in Lamb Barbecue and this specialty has come to San Diego at Aqui es Texcoco I came here and got a few lamb tacos both regular and quesataco as well as the chicharron tacos. I liked the Lamb tacos they were tasty and moist and the quesataco was nice because they melted the cheese on the grilll till it formed a crust and used that as the shell, it was good but i think the cheese overpowered the lamb a little too much. I got different cuts of lamb for the regular tacos and the quesataco but i forget which. The real star of the show was the Chicharron tacos. Its pork belly which was fried crispy and had a nice bits of skin and pork which make it very tasty. I know this place is known for their braised lamb but i think the Chicharron is even better. Don't forget to try the Lamb Consume too, it comes in some of the combinations but also unique and worth a try. Some people think lamb is too gamey but i think it's quite mild and most people would like it. Highly suggest giving it a try. They have their own parking lot which was nice, the green salsa is super hot so tread with caution. Most places the green salsa is the mild one, here its HOT, probably habaneros, so use it sparingly. You've been warned! I'd like to try the lamb head next time but probably just get the Chicharron, its gonna be a toss up.

Visited 3 11 2024 A Long Time Coming. I 've been wanting to try this wonderful Family owned Mexican Authentic Lamb BBQ out for a long time. There is History behind the menu here. (Check out the last Menu Photo to see what I mean. Lots of parking and super clean inside with loads of seating. Lots of great homemade choices from a place that specializes in bbq lamb dishes. First I must say that the lamb had no gamingness in the flavor department. The meat was cooked and seasoned perfectly with a fantastic flavor profile. I started with The Lamb Rib Meat Flautas. Three 10in stuffed rib meat rolled tacos. Nice and crispy outside and tender and juicy inside. Next I had to try The Lamb Rib Meat Queso Taco. My favorite of the day. It 's a real fried cheese shell taco stuffed with loads of lamb and more melted cheese. After the first bite I was in love. It comes with a fantastic flavored Consume for dipping. I dipped everything I ordered in it than drank the rest. Next I ordered a single Grilled Quail. They come Three to an order or you can order just one. The flavor was very tasty but the bird was a tad dried out for me liking. Glad I only ordered one. ‍ Lastly I ordered The Plato de Barbacoa Lamb Barbecue Plate. 1 2 Order. Includes a small lamb Consume, Corn Tortillas, Onions, Cilantro, Salsa, and Limes. A 1 2 order makes about 6 tacos. Excellent way to go. To finish off my experience i tried The House Made Flan. I liked it as it wasn 't overly sweet. This place did not disappoint and I definitely want to come back to try more of the delicious menu. Worth the drive and it 's the only Place I 've found in SD that specializes in BBQ Lamb. I recommend it even for those that Think they don 't Like Lamb.
