Delicious fish tacos 🌮 After a long day this is my "go-to". It's consistently just so good. Highly recommend if you are driving up the 5 & need a little break; stop in for a fish taco, or 3, at El Pueblo 💛 ¡¡Thank you El Pueblo!!

Very busy. Fish tacos are a good price, size of fish varies a lot in each taco. Prices for other items are kind of high. Good salsa and marinated carrot bar. Inside is very crowded, nice seating area on the front patio area.

A friend recommended the spot to me for their fish tacos and they knocked it out of the park! Fish tacos for $1.19 each everyday and not day of the week dependent. You can't go wrong with that. Hard to find another place that will get you 4 fish tacos for just over $5! Chunky salsa at the side/sauce bar was the freshest tasting I've had! They are also open 24 hours and near the freeway so it is a perfect stop if you are doing any late night trips and are passing by or even just during the day. Next to gas stations too for fuel while stopping for food.

Best fish tacos in the county hands down. It is located next to convenience store and A car wash, but we go there even when we don't need anything from the store or the car wash, it, is that good!

After having tacos at a taqueria by the airport that was rated almost 5 stars, I was skeptical about this place. Decided to try it when coworkers mentioned the fish tacos. I'm glad I did! Awesome fish taco and can't beat the price. The tortilla soup was really good too. The service was great and only waited 5 minutes for my order. They have a good flow of people. That's normally a good sign. Looking forward to trying other items in their menus

star of the show are their dollar fish tacos (now 1.19, still a deal!) 2 or 3 of them will fill you up well & happy they use corn tortillas. last I went, the quality of the food for what you pay just reminded me of my years eating Thailand street food. so it's great you can still get this kind of bang for the buck so conveniently 24 hours a day here in the states (in California too!). it's my go to whenever I am in the Encinitas/Carlsbad area - I never miss it like a beat.

I stayed in this area for a month and this was THE go-to spot. Their one-dollar fish tacos are some of the best fish tacos I have ever had! Their other tacos are pretty pricey so I would just stick to the fish tbh. Truly addicting!

You cannot go wrong with anything you order here but you must try the fish taco!!! They are only $1 but so delicious. This place stays busy and for good reason. We ordered the shrimp taco, fish taco and French fries all of which were so good.

WOW! Best fish tacos I've ever had! I enjoyed the whole experience. Watching them cooking the kitchen and how efficient everybody worked together. Oh my goodness those fish tacos are some of the best food I've ever eaten! I also had the fish tacos in the Carlsbad El Pueblo which were just as delicious. However, the service was not as good but the employees were still friendly.
