Valerie's Taco Shop 1006 Mission Avenue, Oceanside, CA 92054

"Horrible. I ordered online for pick up, arrived at the estimated ready time, and the cashier said someone else took my food. After about 5 awkward minutes she realized that the food she gave to someone else belonged to me. I asked her if they were going to remake it and she ASKED TO SEE MY ID. I snapped back and asked why I needed to show my ID when she gave my food to someone else without ID. She quickly said the cook would make it again. My daughter started crying from being so hungry after waiting another 20 minutes for what was supposed to be a quick ordeal. The lady never apologized nor offered any reconciliation. THEN she TRIED TO GIVE IT AWAY TO SOMEONE ELSE AGAIN! Thankfully that lady was honest and refused the bag, then the cashier called my name and we were able to get our food. What a MESS. I’ve been here a couple times before and the food was good enough, but after this situation I can’t say the food tastes all that great. I hope the employees here learn to do their jobs better and also that sincere apologies can go a long way."

"At first I was wondering why it’s like $4/$5 for a street taco. I just thought man California’s expensive, so I bought 3. These tacos are huge, not street taco size, delicous, and loaded with meat! Nice soft corn tortillas, good seasoned pastor. 1 was enough to fill me up, now I have leftovers. Will come again! Friendly, professional workers!"

"This place is my favorite for tacos, burritos, and carne asada fries! The salsas are also delicious. I dine in or take out once a week, at least. Not only is the food fantastic, but so are the people that work there. The two young ladies there are so sweet. Naomi always has a smile when greeting her customers. The cook is always doing his thing in the kitchen hard at work. I feel welcomed every time. I love this spot"

"If you're looking for a delicious and satisfying burrito, I highly recommend checking out Valerie's Taco Shop. The ingredients are fresh and the portions are generous. The staff is friendly and the prices are reasonable. Don't miss out on their amazing Guacamole!"

"I've been looking for one just like this. Portions are great the food is fresh and my mama ain't got nothing on Valerie. Tacos are super sized with big ol pinto beans up in it. Yummy and even more so...after I posted this I realized I gave a one-star review to the other location. So for me it's not branding its location. I still stand by the one-star review. Those enchiladas looked like they had been run over by a semi truck and they were cold. But I also remember the guy that sold them to me and I'm pretty sure he didn't like me."
