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 restaurant has been around for over 30 years, and many customers consider it the best taco shop in the city, especially praised for their rolled tacos and California burrito, which are described as exceptional and full of vibrant, well-balanced flavors. The fish taco is a standout, featuring a crispy, beer-batter-like coating and fresh fish as the star. The salsas are also highly praised, with the red and green hot sauces being exceptional. Although some reviews mention smaller portions and less meat lately, the courteous service remains consistent. Vegetarian options like the Veggie Burrito and newly added Potato Tacos are available, and the overall experience continues to be satisfying for many loyal customers.
