Our Story

From a Taquito Family to Something Fresh


Founder Oscar Ancira grew up in the family behind the original Delimex, giving him decades of history with one of San Diego's favorite foods. But El Tianguis was created to do something different: make taquitos fresh, serve them hot, and bring restaurant-level quality to a fast-casual experience.

Today, El Tianguis carries that family knowledge forward in its own way, with fresh preparation, a focused menu, and food that's 100% gluten-free.

Got the loaded birria fries and they are amazing. Picked up some gluten free tacos for my daughter and she couldn't have been happier. Highly recommend.

All gluten free including churros, the tacquitos come with options of topping which was unique. The tacos were fantastic. The staff was very helpful and told us the churros come with 4 when we tried to order 2 orders. So they saved us from having too many Churros.

Currently the best Mexican restaurant I have found ever anywhere including Mexico. Doesn't hurt that everything (except alcohol) is gluten free

I’ve basically been on a 3-week taco tour in Southern California and this is THE best Mexican food I’ve ever had hands down. 100/10!

The Story Behind Our Gluten-Free Menu


Image
Our gluten-free roots weren't planned — they were natural. Corn tortilla taquitos are crafted from inherently gluten-free ingredients, and staying true to that was a simple choice. Over time, we've had the privilege of becoming a trusted option for the celiac community, and that responsibility is something we take seriously. We are proud to be a fully gluten-free establishment and remain committed to that promise with every item that we serve.
