El Paisa is a beloved Mexican restaurant located near the US Naval base in San Diego. The food is consistently delicious and authentic, with standout tacos and burritos that have earned it a loyal following. The welcoming atmosphere and fantastic flavors make it a go-to spot for many. Despite some challenges with parking, the restaurant's wheelchair accessibility and cozy, homey vibe contribute to its overall charm and appeal.
The tripa tacos and adobada are praised by customers, though the paisa taco was found to be dry and lacking in flavor. The Tacos Adobada are described as tender and full of flavor. The laid-back, easy-going atmosphere and excellent customer service are also highlighted, with the staff being friendly and respectful. Overall, El Paisa is considered a legitimate and highly recommended taco spot, even by customers who are not typically enthusiastic about Mexican food.
