50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Bonsall

“I've been coming here for 15 years, and it's still one of my favorite spots. I always order the carne asada burrito with red salsa and a Jamaica drink, my absolute favorite! The food is delicious, the restaurant is clean, and I love the location.“

“I love this place and can’t recommend enough! I keep getting the Mahi tacos because they’re so amazing! Lots of TVs for watching games and great outdoor patio!“

“Amazing!! I'm not a big fan of Mexican food, but this place is the best. Everything is made fresh. The beans are awesome. I had the Pastor Burrito, it was so good. The meat was so tasty. Drinks was delicious too!! Can't wait to go back!“

“Ate here for the first time last evening after driving past it many times up and down Oceanside Blvd. All I can say is "Incredible!!" We parked our car, walked into the grass carpeted area and felt like we were no longer on Oceanside Blvd. The area they have set up with tables, fame heaters and a large screen TV is great. It is immaculate, and actually cleaner than a lot of local restaurants I've been in. The young lady who helped us since it was our first time, was excellent. She was making sure the condiment area was supper clean, I could have eaten off of it, lol. She had a great smile and was very welcoming as she helped us with answering our questions about the menu. The food was excellent, and the portions were great. Pricing was excellent and we will definitely be back. Again, both the area and truck are immaculate and the cleanest I've ever seen. Thank you, Gaby's Tacos, for an excellent "truck" dining experience!! If you have not stopped but keep wondering about it, give it a chance and support a local business.“

“The tacos are so delicious, we had to go back and order more. The corn tortilla was nice and soft. Other places they're hard. And the meat was also soft. I've also never had a mushroom taco but tried one and it was also good. It was simple but grilled just right.“

“The nicest people with the best food!!“

“From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm, welcoming, and attentive. The atmosphere is stylish yet comfortable, making it a great spot for anything from a casual lunch to a special dinner, I like to sit on the patio and ppl watch too!

The food was outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish we ordered was thoughtfully prepared with high-quality ingredients, and the cocktails were just as impressive. You must try the octopus too!

Service was exceptional throughout the meal, with everyone, We’ll definitely be back again and again!“

“Yes. Highly recommend. Alicia and Luis from Esquedas Produce Strawberries Avocados. Finds us off frwy 15 deer springs mesa rock Drive. Join us cool people.“

“Always great food fast service and very friendly“

“Food is delicious, service is great“

“It was just last night. Friday night around 7. I figured we'd have to wait a while to get a table but it was just my mom and I and we actually got seated quickly. We were seated in less than 3 minutes. The restaurant was pretty full too. Our waiter was very nice, quick and efficient. The appetizer came within 5 minutes and the main entree came soon after we finished our Queso Blanco which was so good!! I ordered the Carne Asada steak with beans and rice, onions guac, pico and soft tortillas. I would recommend that to anyone because it is literally the best tasting steak you will ever eat in your life!!
The only thing I was surprised about was they charge 4 bucks for fountain drinks. That seems a bit pricey to me. The food prices are all fair and competitive though. If you love Mexican food like I do, you definitely won't be disappointed!!

“I’ve been visiting Vista and the greater San Diego / SoCal area for over 40 years, and over that time you get to know which Mexican restaurants are truly worth coming back to.

California’s Mexican Restaurant has always been one of our family’s top three go-to spots for Mexican food when we’re in town. No particular order — just consistently great food that keeps us coming back.

The portions are generous, the food is fresh, and the flavors are exactly what you hope for from authentic Southern California Mexican food. On top of that, the employees are always amazing — friendly, welcoming, and the kind of people that make you feel glad you stopped in.

If you’re trying to narrow down authentic Mexican restaurants in the Vista area, this is absolutely one you should put on your list.“

“FINALLY! I found an authentic and delicious Mexican restaurant. Myself and the family have been looking for our “Go To” spot since moving to SoCal and this is it. Hands down the best margaritas, chips and guacamole, the tacos…….slap your momma good. Enchiladas….punch your daddy good! Andy was absolutely great! Amazing dude! I would highly recommend asking for him!“

“Great food, pleasant atmosphere and good 👍 service“

“Best food I’ve had in years! So glad you’re here in Temecula, can’t wait to go back!!“

“Visiting from Arizona. I’m very picky with seafood, this was good. What took it to the next level was their amazing customer service. I have not had this good customer service in a while. I really appreciate the 2 ladies that attended my family and I. 🙂“

“We only had burritos, but holy cow! This is a gem. We live in L.A., and I honestly might drive down here for lunch again. This is the kind of business that should be patronized during these times, so that it survives to provide REALLY GOOD FOOD.“

“I would give a 4.5 if I could, but can’t give a 5 because the blacked mahi was a bit over-seasoned, making it a bit too salty.
Portions were awesome, food and toppings were fresh. Probably the best Rubio’s we’ve had except for the mahi seasoning.
The temp in the store was a bit cool, and it was one of these very warm (80) days in the area.“

“Good food and service! Always a great experience!“

“Excelente servicio y la comida riquisima! Con el auténtico sabor mexicano 100%, sirven una porción muy grande! Y todo muy limpio!“

“No sabes a donde ir a comer?, ve ahí y no te arrepentirás.“

“Best churros in town!! Staff is very friendly! Menu also includes Cuban sandwiches that are delicious, as well as tacos and quesabirria. Check it out!“

“Breakfast lunch and dinner in one meal“

“Wow! Bomba! The BEST carnitas around by far!“

“Visiting with 13 family members to see other family & were told this is the place & it didn’t disappoint. Busy but worth the wait. We had to track the owner “Mateo”to thank him for an amazing experience. Started with Sylvia (30+ years) here. Amazing!! So Smooth & her attention to detail was impressive. Detailed drinks & food selections are top notch & pretty reasonably priced.
Enjoy it all.🤙🏻“

“Happen to be in the area and I stopped by here for some tacos and it was Tuesday and they had a special going on for two dollar tacos. They had over a dozen options, but I chose the Asada and the pastor so fresh and delicious wish I had a room for more. The beans on the tacos were the cherry on top.“

“Perfect rolled tacos with all the fixings done just right. Not too crispy, not too soft. Just right!Also ordered their delicious potatoe tacos ? ?

Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options available. Potatoe tacos ? and veggie burrito ? as well as the bean & cheese if ya feel like pushing it as a Veggie-saurus ?“

“When I tell you, this is the best Mexican food I have had in a very long time. Everything was flavorful fresh and hot. Customer service was on 10. I Never leave reviews. I had to put my phone down and get to it. Sooo good. 😍 Thank you Heidi!!! Your the best“

“I love this place, been coming back for years.“

“Valerie’s Taco Shop is always a go-to for me whenever I’m in SoCal. I stick to my usual every time because it never misses. The carne asada burrito is loaded with flavor and perfectly satisfying, and the shrimp ceviche is always fresh and so well done.

Service is fast, portions are generous, and it’s one of those spots you can rely on without thinking twice. If you’re nearby and want something consistently good, this is an easy yes.“

“Great mexican food! I love their Quesobirria🤤“

“I’m so glad I stumbled on this little Mexican spot! First good meal I’ve had in a while. 🥰 Super welcoming people and the food was very flavorful— the chicken burrito was delicious. Love the relaxed, family-run vibe, with the cook singing in the kitchen and everyone seeming happy. 😊 Including the little adorable kid hanging out with his grandma and making goofy faces with me. Very kind and hospitable server girl and comfy seating. A place that makes you feel at home. 💕“

“Food is always good, service is always friendly and I feel like their prices are very reasonable. I can't say that about a lot of the walk-in Mexican food / taco shops in North County. Additionally they have an amazing salsa bar! At least 10 different salsas to pick from, along with a description chart taped to the glass, to help you make the right choice.“

“Camarones al mojo de ajo 🍤🍤🍤“

“Hands down the best tacos I have ever had!!! I ordered a potato taco which was a huge portion. The sauce was amazing and the potatoes filled with flavor!!! I also ordered a carne asada taco that was a huge portion as well and the carne asada was beyond flavorful. I also got some salsa Verde that was put the whole meal over the top!!! I will definitely be eating here again.“

“OMG!!! The food is amazing! Hard to find (because there's no sign outside and it's actually inside the Chevron Food Mart)
...but it's worth the work to find it!
The barbacoa Taco was one of the best things I've ever eaten!
(It's made from lamb meat and as a Greek, I know good lamb ...and this is some of the best!).
The owner is an absolute sweetheart, and gave me a complementary Aguas Frescas to try. The green one was out of this world yummy!
I will be here many more times.
I consider this a hidden gem!!
Some of the best food I've ever had.“

“What an amazing place to eat, fresh food and great service. Shout out to Mike, what an amazing gentleman always checking up on customers and making sure everything is top notch. Best food in the county.“

“Fabulous Cadillac Margaritas!!“

“Amazing veggie fajitas and mango margaritas 😋“

“Had a really nice experience during my first visit. I completely misread the menu and ordered a green chile chilaquiles burrito. It’s not a menu item but they didn’t turn down my request or even say it wasn’t on the menu; they just made it! I only realized afterwards that it was not a menu item but the burrito was delicious! All the ingredients were fresh, the rice was very flavorful and well seasoned and overall very enjoyable. I’d definitely go back to try more stuff. It was really nice of them to make me an item that wasn’t even on their menu and the staff was very friendly and welcoming.“

“I can't tell you how delicious the food was here. I'm vegetarian and I still was able to get an exceptional meal. The chips and guac was incredible, The taco rolls were wonderful, The veggie burrito was very tasty and The virgin Pina colada was big and delicious. I'd go again for sure.“

“It all started when my daughter had me pick her up her favorite breakfast burrito when she wasn’t feeling well. . . I then learned about the amazing carne asada here!!! Years at the top of the list!! My daughter has since moved out of town, but this is her and her husbands first stop when they drive in for visits. Oh, and did I mention the Horchata, which is by far the best I have ever had!! Try it!“

“THE best salsa anywhere and ever! Very good vibe. Food is mediocre but generous.“

“Nice place to eat Friendly“

“Hoy comí Mole de pollo y las tortilla’s hechas de allí muy rico. Si gusta pasen a comer tienen variedades de comida a estilo Chavelita y sus aguas fresca de frutas naturales.“
