12 Best Mexican Restaurants in Lakeside

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Unbeatable service delicious food very affordable price very spacious place nice hygienic and air conditioned for this classic heat of LAKESIDE CA..

Parking: Vastly large parking lot and they are coming and going all day

Kid-friendliness: There are comfortable seats as well as tables and chairs for children.

Wheelchair accessibility: The sidewalk has wheelchair access and there are exclusive parking spaces.“

“Best taco shop in lakeside and Santee! I have gotten the California burrito and machaca plate the most there. If you go to their website you can order online for pick up which is super convenient (no drive through).
I give the atmosphere a 3 star because there are a lot of homeless in this shopping center and it just looks very old.“

“I always go through the drive through at this restaurant because I’m usually getting my food to go and get home. The staff is very friendly every time I’m there. They great me with a smile and ask for a rewards phone number. If I forget to give my phone number they will ask for it and if there’s a reward you can use they will let you know and ask if you want to use it. I love the food! My favorite is the surf and turf carne asada fries. I’ve been going to sombreros since I was in high school and I’m 45 now. I do bring my friends with me when I go to the taco shop and I do recommend sombreros.

Dietary restrictions: I am lactose intolerant
And they understand when you let them know.

Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp to the front door for wheel chair accessibility.“

“This is a great little restaurant in Lakeside! They have a drive thru which seems to be the popular option with most, but they also have a window you can walk up too as well with a large parking lot directly adjacent with a bonus of some shady parking spots! They've got some outdoor diner style tables right outside if you want to eat there, but no indoor spaces so plan accordingly. The staff are wonderful and you can definitely find something you'll enjoy on their extensive menu. Plenty of options available so you'll be able to find something to enjoy regardless of dietary restrictions. They're super fast too if you're in a rush! I get food here pretty regularly and I've never waited more than a few minutes for it! And don't forget to enjoy some horchata with your meal, it's delicious!

Vegetarian options: Plenty of dishes without meat and you can also just ask them to leave it out if you like how a meat dish sounds. Everything is very flavorful and fresh so you can definitely find something you'll like!

Parking: There is a small lot just for the restaurant that I've never had trouble finding a space in, and if that's full it's right next to some other businesses with large lots. You'll never have trouble finding parking.

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly! They won't make the food too spicy and they're quick so you won't have to entertain hungry kids for long. There is always plenty of outdoor space at the available tables to park your kids at and pull up strollers if needed. The parking lot is never crowded so you don't have to worry about getting kids in and out of a car in a tight parking space either.“

“Fortunately and unfortunately I have tried almost everything on the menu here. I think it’s the best food in the Barona food court and it is for sure the best priced. It’s super busy so expect a line here but the food is not bad! I usually just get a bunch of tacos but I also like the nachos or Three Aminos Burrito.“

“One of the best places to get Mexican food. The food is authentic, the owners are great and always are friendly! They make sure everyone leaves with a good experience. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to try to eat tacos that pass thru lakeside or if they’re from lakeside. I’d give them 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!“

“I only ever use the drive through, but I've never had any issues here. They have never gotten an order wrong and they are always SUPER quick with getting the food to me. Sometimes I've ordered for up to 4 people and they still get the order going and ready in what seems like less than a minute. The staff has always been friendly as well. No issues with wrong change or attitude.
Would recommend this location to anyone!“
