What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners consistently praise Lagrima Salcedo for its authentic and flavorful Mexican street food, particularly the tacos and burritos, often highlighting the fresh ingredients and satisfying portions. While the food receives high marks, some guests note that the restaurant can be a bit cramped and noisy during peak hours, and prices are occasionally mentioned as being on the higher side for the area. Overall, it's a recommended spot for genuine Mexican flavors.
"Shrimp soft tacos here are a must try! Food is fresh and delicious. I’ve only tried their nachos and soft tacos so far. Great place for a laid back hangout with friends and family. They have good customer service too! Staff are friendly and attentive to customers. The place has a few tables so it can get crowded during busy hours so make sure to drop by during non-peak hours."
Angela Miranda
"Crispy saucy nachos with soft meat, delicious tacos and lots of side sauces. Lots of seating but the place itself is a bit small. It has a restroom inside. I really enjoyed their Nachos and the side sauces it came with (white sauce, green salsa, hot sauce?) also our server was very efficient and answered our questions regarding the menu well. Highly recommend! We were 3 and ordered the Knights of Round (had to take out the 3 tacos because they were bigger than we expected) and Supreme Nachos Carnitas. They also gave us a complementary Horchata Pancake probably because we came in early on a super rainy day so they did not have too many customers ✌️"

"The food was good and very filling. We especially liked their tacos because of the meat they put in it! :) The burritos and tacos were filling and the dirty horchata was also refreshing! The place is cramped though. Maybe try to expand your place or transfer to a bigger location."

A Taco Lover's Guide on the Best Places to Celebrate Cinco de Mayo
Lagrima comes across as the sort of “Hypebeast” of local Mexican restaurants. Since moving to San Juan from their original spot in Legazpi Village, the restaurant has stayed consistent driving the culture of Mexican food forward through unconventional recipes. In Spanish, the word Lagrima translates to “teardrop.” For your order of burritos, rice bowls, or good ol’ tacos, you have to choose your “feelings” — a play on the word fillings.
