Rumor has it that starting June on a sweet note brings good luck for the rest of the summer. We don’t make the rules, we just make the churros. 🤷♂️✨
Come try our Rosarito Style Churros today. You get 3 pieces of deep-fried, golden-brown perfection, rolled straight out of the fryer into a heavy dusting of sugar and ground cinnamon.
Who are you sharing your third piece with? Tag them below! 👇

What people say
When it comes to Mexican restaurants, there's nothing quite like the authentic Baja style tacos served up at The Taco Stand on Upas Street in San Diego. This taqueria is inspired by the taco stands of Tijuana and the adventures along the Baja Peninsula, and it shows in every bite.
One of the standout features of The Taco Stand is their commitment to using only the freshest ingredients. From handmade corn tortillas to grade-A meats, everything is prepared with care and attention to detail. And if you're a fan of guacamole and salsa, you'll be pleased to know that they make theirs from scratch daily.
Of course, no visit to The Taco Stand would be complete without trying their amazing tacos and burritos. But don't forget about their other offerings, like Mexican flavored popsicles, imported beer, and freshly prepared Rosarito-style churros.
Whether you're a local or just passing through San Diego, The Taco Stand on Upas Street is definitely worth a visit. With its authentic flavors and commitment to quality ingredients, it's no wonder this taqueria has become such a beloved spot for locals and visitors alike.
