Pavlos Tacos - Encinitas

It was our 1st time there. A nice ambiance. The food was delicious with good size portions. A large parking lot as well. A good experience.Wheelchair accessibility: There are many spots. It has been recently repaved and easy access to the restaurant. Fred

0 stars, a taco shop that is not a taco shop. Salsa tastes like marinara sauce the meats tortilla taste so bad, I'll keep getting my food in the South Bay.

Been eating here for over 20 years. Used to be 'Rico 's ' now it is Pavlos! But still same great food. The red hot sauce is the best around! This is where the Encinitas locals eat because they know it is the best authentic Mexican food around!

Pavlos Tacos is the rebirth of Rico 's... same great staff, menu food... just a new name. Pavlos has been and will continue to be our constant go-to for excellent Mexican food.

I grew up in Encinitas and have been going to this spot for nearly 20 years. When I saw the original name was gone, I was shocked, until I came on the reviews and found out it's the same place as before under a new name with a new owner. I was so stoked to see who the owner was because he's been there the whole time I've been going and knows what made the original place so special. I don't live in the area anymore so I come in whenever I'm visiting family, and he always recognizes me and gives me a warm greeting.So excited for him. We came in on mother's day and got our usual orders. The food is just as good as ever. If you loved the original, you'll love it here too.Vegetarian options: They have some traditional style vegetarian options but the king is the Justin burrito.
