About

The flagship location of a six-unit San Diego taqueria chain founded in 2014, City Tacos at 3028 University Avenue is the original North Park counter where the brand introduced its casero-style taco format. Tortillas and salsas ship daily from a dedicated commissary kitchen in El Cajon, and the finished tacos pair well with craft pints at Barley & Sword Brewing Company on El Cajon Boulevard. The rotating menu blends traditional carne asada and carnitas with caseros builds--Mayan achiote-pulled pork, beer-braised beef shank, and grilled mahi-mahi--developed by a kitchen team trained in French technique. Dessert seekers after a taco run head south to Secret Sister on 30th Street for small-batch pastries and seasonal cakes. The North Park counter manages high-volume taco-bar setups and full catering builds for private events, assembled from the same commissary line that supplies all six San Diego locations.
