Wether you are here for The Con, or people-watching for the best cosplay, you’re bound to work up an appetite. And it’s no secret America’s finest city boasts the best tacos in the US, but… have you tried em all? Since The Rowlbertos Crew are the self-proclaimed taco experts of San Diego, we’ve decided to give you the Best Damn Tacos: How to Hack Comic-Con 2019!
PUESTO
(For Heroes (and Villains)
Grab a seat and take a load off! Nestled to the west of the convention center, you’ll find a sheik atmosphere offering a full-bar, two patios and three semi-private indoor spaces! Mezcal flights, tequila flights and a great tap list will keep you busy but don’t get too distracted, you’re about to eat some of the best damn tacos in San Diego!
LOBSTER TACO
LOBSTER with black beans, crispy onions, avocado, crema de cilantro, jalapeño pico.
SMOKED TUNA
Crispy melted cheese, manzano corn sauce, avocado, fried quinoa, alfilerillo.

You’ll have to pull-up to Puesto to see these bad-boys. Made specifically for comic-con, these two tacos duel it out for best at Puesto.
CALI-TACO
Bed of guacamole, fillet mignon wrapped in oaxacan cheese, house crema, potato skins, cilantro, pickled jalapeño. *limited time only*
TACO STAND
(Where the Zombies Eat)
These Taco Stands have been popping up all over the city, but this one in particular really feels like home. Small but mighty, this place packs a punch delivering all of the taco staples with their especial flavors and hand-made tortillas. The salsa-bar even scares the zombies offering some extra heat and fun flavors.

CABRON
Family-owned means great service and a lil’ extra love from my boy in the kitchen. Tacos El Cabron almost SOLD-OUT during 2018’s Comic-Con, simply cause people couldn’t get enough! They’re close, fast and a go-to spot for the locals. If you’re an early riser, they got you covered for Breakfast as well.
