Claustrophobia hell!
Packed with the locals and still as busy as ever. Come at lunch time and the line is extended out the door. After you put your order in, you can expect to wait about 15 minutes (pretty reasonable) for your order.
The cons about this place is the crappy, unavailable parking due to the masses dining here. Another (which I discovered today) is that the carne asada meat is tough, cheap-tasting, and nasty. Stick with their fish tacos and chicken flautas.
I don't know if I'll be back here again any time soon (or at least not during prime time) because the claustrophobia element is just suffocating.

Taco San Pedro has absolutely THE BEST fish tacos I've ever had (and I've had me a plenty). The fish meat is "real" - none of this fried nonsense. The fish is moist, broiled, and smothered in a flavorful hot sauce that gives you a surprising kick in where it you least expect it! The server asks if you'd like onions in your tacos, to which I highly recommend you reply, "SI, POR FAVOR!"
Their chicken flautas are also out of this world. They top off the flautas with a glob of guacamole and fresh, salty parmesan cheese.
Fish tacos: $2.00
Other meat tacos: $1.95
Full order flautas (6): $5.00
1/2 order flautas (3): $2.85
Cash only.
