A fixture on the western end of Garnet Avenue, Areli's Taco Shop Pacific Beach operates out of 1313 Garnet Ave in the 92109 zip code, serving Mexican food from early morning through late night. The kitchen opens at 8 a.m. most days and stays lit until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays, making it one of the few sit-down taco shops in PB with true late-night hours. Mini tacos are the sleeper hit — reviewers across Google call them the best in San Diego, praising the well-seasoned chicken, the crisp shells, and portions generous enough to turn a snack into a full meal. Anyone grabbing a post-surf breakfast burrito here is only a short walk from Pacific Beach AleHouse, which anchors the same block of Garnet with craft beer and rooftop views. The broader menu covers enchilada plates, rolled tacos, tortas, quesadillas, and carne asada fries, all served through a counter-service window with tables available inside and on a small outdoor patio. The San Diego County health department has scored the location at 91, and parking sits directly behind the building off the side street. Areli's draws a steady mix of college students, late-night bar crowds, and families during daytime hours. Visitors exploring the block can also stop into Filippi's Pizza Grotto Pacific Beach for Italian comfort food a few minutes away. The shop's family recipes have earned a loyal repeat customer base that appreciates the homemade salsas and the welcoming attitude of the owners, who are known to add an extra tortilla so nothing goes to waste.
