Operating since 1979 on University Avenue in La Mesa, Nachos Taco Shop has built a multi-generational following from its counter and drive-through at 7589 University Avenue. The carne asada fries and California burrito anchor a roster of San Diego taqueria staples, establishing Nachos among the University Avenue dining options near J-K's Greek Cafe and the eastern La Mesa restaurant corridor. A drive-through window serves the full menu including bistek ranchero, coctel de camarón, and fajitas alongside the standard taco and burrito builds. The bean and cheese burrito uses a slow-cooked pinto bean preparation spread across a large flour tortilla with melted cheese, a deceptively simple build that relies on the refrito technique for depth. Breakfast burritos stuffed with eggs, chorizo, and potatoes serve the University Avenue morning commute, a meal window shared with Trolley StopDeli and its sandwich-focused morning program along the same corridor. The fish taco program uses a beer-batter dip on white-flesh fillets fried at high temperature to a crisp shell, then dressed with shredded cabbage, house crema, and a lime-forward salsa for the traditional Baja finish.
