I don't know how this place sells such delicious fish tacos for so cheap, but I'm glad I live nearby. That and their salsa bar is amazing! You really can't beat El Pueblo for value and quality.
October 2025
Delicious fish tacos. Great price. Rest of the menu seems standard pricing for burritos this far north in San Diego county. Looked good, place was busy, I stayed with the fish facos.
September 2024
Food was very average and I felt like it lacked flavor. $1.29 fish tacos is probably the staple at this place. Dudes surfing all day long, finishing the day starved, drop six or seven dollars here and get some fish tacos and then go home and smoke marijuana and get lucky with their girlfriends. The highlife.
