El Real Mexican Food is a beloved spot on the corner of Market & Imperial Ave in SE San Diego, CA. Known for their delicious Ground Beef Tacos, this hole in the wall restaurant has loyal customers who appreciate the friendly service and great food quality. Whether you use the drive-thru or walk up to the window, you'll be met with respect and tasty Mexican cuisine.
The drive-through may be inconvenient, but the fish taco is a standout, with a crispy, beer-batter-like coating and fresh fish as the star. The salsas are also a highlight. While the carne asada fries may lack sour cream and have lettuce, the restaurant's red and green hot sauces are exceptional, and the service is courteous and accurate. Vegetarian options like the Veggie Burrito and newly added Potato Tacos are also available.
