I have tried many taco shops throughout San Diego and I will honestly say that this is one of the best . Their food is always fresh and they never skip out on flavor. The atmosphere is lively and a great place for sport fans. Their tacos are always on point with well seasoned meat and perfectly blended house made salsas. Carnitas fried are one of my personal favorites. I highly recommend El Paisa for those looking for flavorful authentic Mexican food. Be ready to wait if you...

I've been here a few times. The food is not bad. Breakfast burritos are a good size and tasty. Sometimes they add tomatoes or pepper in your burritos, accidentally, I'm guessing from food mixing on the griddle. The service is great and prices are not bad. But, they charge you more than the advertised price. They need to update their drive thru prices. This place is good in a pinch, but far from the best.

I hate places that won't give you extra salsa if you ask for it. The burritos are 16 bucks. You can give more than 2 salsas per burrito. I got a surf and turf. The meat was excellent. Unfortunately they put too much rice in it. Put meat in your expensive burritos and I'll give a better score!
