Mexican Restaurants near Jamul

“Super friendly & the food is delicious!“

“In a town that has tacos shops on practically every other block, this place is a standout. The quality of the food, the awesome customer service, and the insanely extensive and unique salsa bar will have you coming back again and again.

I tried this place a second time after being impressed the first time, wanting to try their poblano burrito (which quite a few others have posted about). Holy. Wow. This burrito was FIRE. You can add steak or shrimp, but I added BOTH, and I added their chipotle cream sauce. It was massive and so delicious. They did not skimp on either the steak or the shrimp, and the burrito's other contents (cheese-stuffed poblanos, rice, beans, and guac) were really generous. Highly, highly recommend Burrito City if you're in the area.“

“Very delicious and big portions! Love the sopas and Rueben sandwich!“

“The current staff at our local Sombreros is always pleasant. They have a good chef again, so the food is tasty. Rolled tacos, carne asada, adobo, pollo, chimichancas, crunchy beef tacos, rice, beans, salsa - all good lately. The service is pleasant, and friendly. Food is fresh.“

“Super Deliciosa toda la comida. Muy buen servicio y la atención que dan es excelente. Definitivamente deja abajó a otros restaurantes de barbacoa a los que he ido. Lo mejor de todo es que te cocinan todo fresco le doy un 💯 Y las costillas en jalea de mango está para chuparse los dedos.“

“delicious. absolute SD staple“

“Smoked meats to die for: tacos, burritos, tortas y más.“

“great food! love this place 😀“

“No joke the best mexican food place by far. I was questioning my choice in buying because i spent $25 for a large pacman fries which is the most ive spent on carne asada fries. But once my order came out i knew it was worth the money. This can feed a family and take days to finish by urself. Also the menu options are amazing and love the filipino additions! Would recommend to everyone.“

“Authentic Mexican food Mexico City style ?a gem in El Cajón.

We had seen this place but had not had the opportunity to visit it and we liked it a lot. In a few words: Delicious food, good atmosphere, good service and attention; and very affordable prices.

We tried the pambazo, the al pastor tacos, the head and the sope. Everything was very delicious and with a 100% homemade Mexican flavor, but for us the star dish was the sope (they give you a choice of several stews) the dough with which it was prepared was very soft and at the same time crunchy. And the hibiscus water we ordered was very fresh and not as sweet and cloying as other places.

The decoration of the place is authentic Mexican and very colorful. You have to eat outside and inside.

And for us the most important thing was the prices since right now everything is very expensive. We were especially surprised given the quality of the service and food.

It is a place we will definitely return to and recommend to anyone who wants to enjoy authentic Mexican food.“

“Been going here for years !!!“

“went on my birthday with family. great mexican food with fun mocktails as drinks. has great festive atmpsohere for any location and plenty of parking at grossmont area“

“Unbelievably delicious food. Staff is great and more than willing to accommodate special off the menu orders. Simply, a diamond in the rough. A must try!!!“

“I’ve been coming to this location for 20+ years. Always a good experience. My only complaint is the salsa being packaged in bags. The bags are not the easiest to open, they are messy when eating, and half the salsa ends up wasted because it spills from the side of the bag. Please go back to putting salsa in cups.“

“This place is a chain and an amazing one for that matter. It's not the best Taco shop but it's so solid and consistent with great food that whenever I see one I'm excited and already know I'm going to get great southern California Taco shop food. San Diego is lucky to have them...I wish they made it out to some other states. Also the price is always great. You are not going to break your bank here.“

“We tried the Burrito, and I had the Fish Soft Taco, which I loved. However, the beef bowl with avocado, beans, rice, peppers, and tomatoes in this shop, it felt like too much going on flavor-wise. On the bright side, we enjoyed the delicious pineapple juice. The server is nice and I asked to get another Juice and he said pay after when we are done, he told me next time. Thank you for the treat! Overall, it was a good experience at Roberto’s Taco Shop in Santee.“

“Love this place. I went in to pick up food for my ladies at cat&doggieworks and the wonderful lady at the counter gave me every courtesy and was very patient. Their food is great and so are they. I always order a horchata there because I don’t think I’ve had one better anywhere else.“

“Wow! Fresh made chips, all food DELICIOUS! The spicy cucumber margarita, don't miss this succulent beverage. Service was fast, prices were good. Bathrooms run down but reasonable. This is a big place so lots of cars in lot at weekend dinner and we still got right in. Yum!“

“The service is always the best and friendliest you can find. The food... prepared fresh every time is the extra wait. The atmosphere is decent enough, good waiting space for pick up orders, but the dining area could use a little reorganizing. It's kind of difficult getting by seated tables trying to refill a drink or use the restroom. By the way, they are very friendly and gracious about using their restroom... even if you're not buying anything. I'll go back to this place again and again. Thank you, Albert's.“

“Fast service, friendly, good food. Best enchiladas(everything great), margaritas, over all everything was great!!“

“Having spent 20 years exploring the vibrant culinary scene in San Diego and visiting over 200 restaurants, I can confidently say that Emma’s Mexican Restaurant stands out as one of the best, hands down.

From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted with the warm, inviting atmosphere that feels like a genuine slice of Mexico. The décor is charmingly authentic, and the staff exude a friendliness that makes you feel right at home.

But it’s the food that truly sets Emma’s apart. Every dish is a celebration of traditional Mexican flavors, prepared with the freshest ingredients and a meticulous attention to detail. Whether it’s the perfectly seasoned carne asada, the rich and flavorful mole, or the mouth-watering enchiladas, each bite transports you straight to the heart of Mexico.

What truly impresses me is the consistency and quality of their offerings. Emma’s doesn’t just serve food; they craft an experience. The tortillas are handmade, the salsas burst with freshness, and the portions are generous without compromising on quality.

If you’re a San Diego native or just passing through, Emma’s Mexican Restaurant is a must-visit. It’s a testament to the rich culinary heritage of Mexico and a shining gem in San Diego’s dining landscape. Emma’s has earned its place as a top-tier restaurant, and I can’t recommend it highly enough.“

“Finally found a taco shop that serves delicious burritos and its not super greasy! Loved breakfast burrito, CA burrito, texano burrito. The salsas are also yummyy.
Added beans and guac to my breakfast burrito and it was heavenly! Highly recommend this place and their food.
They also make us veggie chimichanga even though it wasnt part of the menu 😁“

“One of the best Mexican restaurants in San Diego. Food, drinks and service were top notch. Menu is extremely creative and offers lots of different items depending on your tastes. The Tempura Cauliflower was incredible. Our server Chris made our “date night” so special. She was very knowledgeable and attentive, made for a wonderful evening.“

“Super delicioso 😋 super recomendado“

“Everything I've tried here is yummy. you know it's a good place when there's always a full line of cars in the drive thru. I really like the potato rolled tacos.“

“great restaurant. been going there for many years“

“I’ve been going here since 1987. The Estrada family are amazing. Always the best food.“

“La Casitas Grill and seafood went above and beyond to support a local fundraiser the rice,beans, and fajitas were delicious. We can't thank you enough for not just feeding the community but being part of it. Great food served by wonder people. Thank you again and again.“

“Delicious food, and not over priced“

“yummy yummy yummy...my niecy recommended thos restaurant and it didn't disappoint. Large portions and friendly service.“

“I absolutely love Marieta's in Santee. The food is delicious and the service is amazing. I have been enjoying this place since I was 16 years old and I have always felt like part of their family. Be sure to visit Pedro in the bar!“

“I recommend La Cresta especially for Taco Tuesday.“

“I recommend all of the above the food is delicious my favorite shrimp cocktail! Great customer service Thank You“

“I like the bean burritos.“

“Maria is the best! We hired Tacos El Gabacho for my wife's grad school graduation party and we can't wait to recommend her and use her again! She came and set up her taco trailer in our front yard and everyone loved her homemade tortillas, carne asada, pollo asada and al pastor. Awesome food and service!“

“People here have great attitude. Cook is cracking jokes as soon as you walk in. Carne asada fries where amazing and the portion was enough to feed one person and then some. Prices are also affordable. 15$ for carne asada fries is reasonable considering my the portion. Way better than Tapatíos who charged me 20$ for the same. Definitely recommend El Cotixan. Green salsa is mild and red is a little spicier. Great experience overall!“

“Been coming here for years! They have the best breakfast burritos I’ve ever had, and I’ve tried quite a few places around the area and they don’t quite hit just like this place does! Make sure you ask for fries instead of hashbrowns. It’s amazing. ?“

“Is it the best birria I’ve ever had in my life? No. Surprisingly that was in Seattle, but it is tasty. The consume is a little salty though and I love some salt tbh. It might need a little more cheese or something. I would return if I visit here again but would still try some other restaurant here that offer quesa birria

The bar was so pretty.
The best was are bartender.
This will be my new spot!;“

“Highly recommend…this taco truck has ruined my hometown (Fargo ND) Mexican restaurant experience - nothing will measure up to Fernys! We had barbacoa taco, asada burrito, and super fries. Every bite was delicious. Meat perfectly seasoned and tender & homemade tortillas. If you’re in their area, you won’t be disappointed.“

“Great food and personal service. I commented that I was sharing the burrito with my bride and was asked if I’d like them to cut it in half for me. 👍“

“J&J's has been around a few years now. I had the three beef rolled tacos with all the fixings for 7.99 plus tax.

The tacos were good. They were crispy and had a good amount of shredded beef inside. The green avocado salsa I had with the rolled tacos was very good and offered mild heat.

The place used to be brighter inside, but it still looks nice. I like the Mexican style tile floors. The service was cordial and friendly. The have a good salsa bar.“

“I have been eating there every night this last week do to work as I am staying in a hotel for work nearby. The mixed of food that I purchased has been Outstanding. The flavor, the freshness the overall flavor has been spot on. The size of the burritos a pound maybe 1.5 pounds will fill you up. The Steak and Egg Burrito is the BOMB if your hungry you wont be after eating this bad boy!!!! Good crew working there Clean facility just a smidge off the street you sorta have to look for it but its worth it dont fail your appetite!!!!“
