Raul's Shack Mexican Food - itas

I think people are being way too nice about the food purely for the convince of it being by the beach. In terms of not losing your parking spot at the beach and wanting food this place is a 10/10. But imma be honest, as a burrito addict.. this place is mediocre at best. You’ll pay about $13-$15 for a California burrito depending on your tip and you’ll get a burrito about the size of something you should have paid about $6 for. Over priced and under delivered is the best way to describe this place. But given that it’s 2 blocks from the beach it’s to be expected. Expect to pay about $15 per person for pretty mediocre food. But if you’re at the beach and people are hungry this place is clutch.

Close to the beach. We get take out and go to the beach to enjoy food and scenery

This is a great Mexican local spot. The food used to be much better but certain if it was just the day. But for 30 plus years it had been awesome.

This is one of my favorite spots for a solid taco. I recommend the pork taco and adobaba. They are both very tender, tasty, and high quality. Service is always great and they are usually pretty quick. Very reasonable too. Their enchiladas are great as well. Fun spot in the heart of Encinitas and don’t miss out on refreshing gelato right next door!

This is the shack your abuelita sneaks off to for tacos. Delicious large Cod fish tacos.
