Dish Focus On:
Carne Asade Tacos - Seasoned Carne Asada wrapped in two El Indio Corn Tortillas, with Guacamole and Ranchera Salsa. Served with rice, beans, and chips.
Incredibly tender and tasty slices of carne asade, wrapped in fabulously fresh corn tortillas. Tortillas were tender and smooth, not the typical grainy texture of corn tortillas. Guacamole is fresh and accompanies the meat perfectly. YUM and what a LOT of food.
Shredded Beef Taquitos, topped with Cheddar Cheese and lettuce. Served with rice, beans, and chips.
Crunchy taquitos stuffed with yummmy shredded beef. Topped with an abundance of lettuce and cheese.
Street-side view. Festive March decor evident on windows.
Yummmy Factor: 5/5
Yummmy Rambles: Learned of this place from Guy Fieri’s show on the Food Network: “Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives.” Looked so good on TV that we went the next day. We were not let down! Food was fantastic! Restaurant was already busy around 10:30 am, and very crowded by 11:30 am. Appears that everyone buys a bag of homemade chips and/or tortillas during their visit. Tortillas are made fresh daily and boy, are they GOOD! Aguas frescas, including a wonderful Horchata, available on fountain.
Only a hop, skip, and short drive away from San Diego's Balboa Park. Enjoy the gorgeous Botanical Garden and the exciting Natural History Museum, among MANY other museums and attractions.
