First time discovering El Tigre after living in this hood the past 2+ years. Ordered the fried plantanos and both pork & chicken tamales and soooo good! Each hit the spot!! And the folks here are super friendly! Wish I had discovered them sooner!!!
The wife and I have been craving churros ever since coming to San Diego, you can catch a whiff of it pretty much wherever you go, which is a constant reminder of that craving. We were dumb enough to give in and buy some while walking through Balboa Park ($6 for one measley stick).
In contrast to that, we stopped by here one night, paid for 2 orders of churros. And I see the dude crank 16 churros into the fryer. I figured "no big deal he's just preparing...

Found this little gem in city heights.
Churros were fresh , soft and delicious. I saw a comment on here saying there wasn’t enough sugar and cinnamon on them … this isn’t a theme park churro. These are homemade deliciousness. You eat churros for the masa not the sugar mix. Service was great. Bonus we ordered the Platanos Fritos and they were also delicious.
