With eight locations across Southern California, Rigoberto's Taco Shop serves its La Mesa customers from 5454 Jackson Drive in the Grossmont area near Reading Cinemas at Grossmont. The made-from-scratch salsa bar and weekend menudo program anchor the Jackson Drive location, adding a Latin comfort-food option to a Grossmont corridor that includes The Grill at Vine Ripe and its Mediterranean grill menu. Pollo asado fries layer char-grilled chicken over seasoned fries with guacamole and sour cream, a build that has become the signature item at the La Mesa outpost. Bilingual ordering in English and Spanish and a full menu running from tripa tacos to shrimp cocktails distinguish the Jackson Drive location from taco shops that cut their menu during off-peak hours. Breakfast plates including huevos rancheros and chorizo-egg burritos serve the Jackson Drive morning traffic near Grossmont Center, competing for the same commuter window as Maui Express further along the corridor. The carnitas program slow-braises pork shoulder in rendered lard and citrus until fork-tender, then crisps portions on a flat-top plancha before building into tacos, burritos, and combination plates.
