Las Cuatro Milpas

If you look up "best hole-in-the-wall taco joint in San Diego" you just may find a photo of Las Cuatro Milpas. Drawing locals and food enthusiasts alike to its doors from 6:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. every day, this old-school Mexican joint has been winning hearts since 1933. Known for serving some of the city's best tacos, tamales, burritos — and even rice and beans — the no-frills ambiance only adds to its charm while creating an authentic experience that keeps patrons coming back. Las Cuatro is cash only, and while parking might require a little stroll from Chicano Park, the walk and the stop by the ATM will prove well worth it.
