Great Food and Friendly Service
My experience at this restaurant was very positive. The food was great, and the service was very friendly. I particularly enjoyed the mini tacos, which were done perfectly.
My wife had the caldo de res, which she found tasty and filling. It was well worth the stop.

High-Quality Carnitas, Mixed Experience
My experience at the restaurant featured high quality carnitas, which were excellent. While the other food items were decent, the guacamole seemed not super fresh, though I initially suspected it might be fake. The fries could have been crispier.
Despite these minor points, I finished the entire plate and enjoyed my meal nonetheless.

Best Taco Shop in PB & SD!
Having tried every taco shop in Pacific Beach and many others across San Diego, I can confidently say this place is amazing. The carnesada meat is freshly cooked and perfect. It's a family-owned restaurant where they clearly take pride in their work.
The staff are very nice and genuinely care about their customers, treating everyone like family. I always observe how they interact with first-time visitors. This is the best taco shop in Pacific Beach and San Diego.
If you're looking for authentic Mexican food and cuisine, this is your destination. Julio and Lulu are the best!

Areli's Carne Asada Burrito is the Best!
My experience at Areli's was fantastic! I had the carne asada burrito, and it's hands down the best in San Diego. The flavor, portions, and consistency were outstanding, surpassing even the most hyped-up places.
The staff was friendly, the service was quick, and the prices were reasonable. I've tried other restaurants, but nothing compares to Areli's!

Good Food, Steep Prices
This was our first time here, and the food was pretty good. We gave it four stars because the prices were kind of steep. If you come and check this place out, you've got to try the green and red sauce because those are bomb.
Cheers!

Consistently Great Burritos and Service
I've been to this venue multiple times and they consistently serve quality burritos. I've never had a bad meal here. Don't miss out on their great California burritos and tacos.
The service is friendly and quick too.

Service Good, Food Lacking Flavor
My experience at the restaurant was a mixed bag. The service was great, and the portions were good. However, the food and sauce lacked flavor.
The chicken in the enchiladas was cubed and tasted like processed meat. Overall, it was not the best food.

Authentic Mexican Food Experience
My experience at Arelis Taco Shop was positive, serving authentic Mexican food. We enjoyed the fish tacos and Pastor Tacos. The others with us had the Pollo Asada Tortas and Chicken Enchilada plate, which were also good.
The prices for tacos a la carte range from $4. 99-$5. 50.

Fast, Clean, and Delicious Tacos!
My girlfriend and I were in the area and decided to try this restaurant. We ordered 2 tacos and a burrito, and they were ready in under 5 minutes. The restaurant was clean, the serving was fast, and the air-conditioning was perfect on a sunny day.
I highly recommend it, and by the way, try the conga burrito!

Best Tacos and QuesoBirria in Cali!
My experience at Areli’s was fantastic! It was conveniently located just one block from my place during a work trip, which led me to eat there every single day. I can confidently say they serve the Best Tacos and QuesoBirria in Cali!
