Tijuana-style taco stand at 621 Pearl St in La Jolla's Village, 92037. The Taco Stand is built on handmade corn tortillas, grade-A meats, and salsas made fresh daily — steps from El Pescador Fish Market, which pulls its own crowds to the same block for an entirely different reason. Carne asada, al pastor, baja fish tacos, California burritos, churros, and paletas round out a menu that draws lines out the door. The Pearl Street location has become one of La Jolla's most beloved casual spots and consistently ranks among the top-rated restaurants in the neighborhood. Where The Taco Stand runs on tortillas and speed, Burger Lounge on Wall Street makes the case that grass-fed patties deserve the same cult following.
