About

Tres Hermanos Locos Tacos in Lakeside brings open-flame grilling to Los Coches Road, where three East County-raised brothers cook every protein directly over live fire for a charred-crust taco that separates the shop from flat-top competitors. That fire-forward technique spans breakfast burritos through evening carne asada plates, building a full-day Mexican menu for the same East County crowd that packs Eastbound Bar & Grill on Maine Avenue for bar-side plates and weekend nights. Al pastor, pollo asado, and carne asada each receive direct flame contact on the open grill, producing a smoke-kissed crust that seals moisture before the tortilla wrap rather than steaming it out under a heat lamp. Side offerings include hand-cut fries, loaded rice-and-bean plates, and a rotating roster of house-made salsas calibrated from mild tomatillo to scorching habanero. The shop's position on Los Coches Road draws neighborhood regulars from the surrounding residential stretch between Lakeshore Drive and the Garden Farms Market corridor, pulling local foot traffic rather than highway pass-through. Each protein receives direct-flame searing above hardwood coals before loading onto double-stacked corn tortillas with house-made guacamole, pico de gallo, and a grilled green onion garnish.
