La Morena feels like a true neighborhood taqueria. It’s unassuming and bustling, with a constant flow of regulars grabbing quick bites and families settling in for a casual meal. The air is thick with the scent of sizzling carne asada and warm tortillas. Spanish chatter mixes with the clatter of dishes, creating a lively, down-to-earth atmosphere that feels authentically San Diegan. It’s the kind of place where you can come as you are and enjoy simple, satisfying tacos without any pretense.
