50 Best Mexican Restaurants near San Ysidro

“This was my first time at a Las Michoacanas and let me tell you that this place has to be the best Mexican food I’ve ever had tried. It’s very fresh like if it was homemade, and the lady was very nice and if I had a couple a bucks I would’ve tipped her. Best service and best food ever. If your in the area please come here it’s such a good spot.“

“I really recommend this place. The food is really truly delicious and the prices are good as well. You have to try all the soups are delicious, the tacos , birria, sopes, enchiladas just everything on their menu. I give it 10 stars not 5. 🌯🥘🍲🍜🌮❤️“

“The best tacos I have had in San Diego . Great service and really good food“

“Very well organized to the different section of the yummy foods you want to order😍congrats to the creative minds👏👏👏👏👏“

“Talavera Azul is the kind of neighborhood gem that wins you over the moment breakfast hits the table, their chilaquiles are genuinely delicious, the kind that stay crispy under the salsa just long enough to savor every bite, and the fresh orange juice is squeezed right from the fruit, something you almost never see anymore. Add a warm cup of café de olla with its cinnamon aroma, and you’ve got a morning that feels like home. What makes the experience even better is the atmosphere most customers greet the owners by first name, creating a sense of community that makes every visit feel personal and genuinely welcoming.“

“Hands-down, the best meal I have had in a long time! The food is so authentic and delicious. The service is impeccable. The cocktails are delightful. I cannot wait to come back!!“

“I stumbled upon this restaurant while watching YouTube travel guides for our upcoming trip to San Diego. We love unique dining experiences, so this seemed like our kind of eatery. The food & service was excellent. The owner checked on every table & takes pride in his restaurant which shows in the quality of the food. The head meat tacos were excellent! We also loved the consomè con carne soup.“

“Above and beyond customer service. Food was some of the best I’ve had for birria. I had a torta with birria tatemada and an egg also came with consume. The average person probably won’t finish it in one sitting delicious. Also had an iced coffee that had a hint of cinnamon sweet but not too sweet it was perfect. Can’t wait to go back and try different plates. Highly recommend this birria spot. They have an award for authentic food from Union Tribune I can verify that.“

“The best in town. La mejor en el condado de San Diego, Ca. Great Tijuana Flavor, El Mejor Sabor de Tijuana“

“I stopped for lunch on a business trip. The service and food were great. I had the chicken fajitas for lunch. They provide chips and salsa with before and during the meal.
The only difficulty on stopping here was the parking. It is very limited and street parking is the only accessible option. I had to walk about 4 blocks but will not detour me from visiting again the next time I am in the area. Also I would assume will depend on the time of day that you visit.
Thank you for the experience and the great service and meal.“

“We ordered the shrimp tacos and chicken tacos. The shrimp tacos were so good my husband ordered more to go, then ate them in the car. They are battered, deep fried but the breading is thin and the shrimp are large. They also bring a tray of sauces so you can try whichever ones you want on your tacos. We will definitely visit again when we already in town.“

“Their food is amazingly delicious!!! They have great customer service and place is clean. To bad they are only in San Diego 😞“

“Hands Down the best carnitas of all of San Diego. My family and I always buy our carnitas here. We get the carnitas by the pound and they are delicious 😋. They also catered 2 of my party events my baby shower and my daughter's 1st communion at a reasonable price. I said I wanted for 50 people and they set it up in party trays and I picked it up. It came with everything: carnitas, rice, beans ,3 salsas, chiles with sauted onions, guacamole and chicharrones. To ensure that they stayed walm i put the food on party trays warmers. My guest loved it and was a hit ♥️🙏“

“I LOVE this place. I always order chicken sopes but with grilled chicken and no lettuce. Yesterday, I tried the Albeto burrito and it was phenomenal, tastes similar to a Philly cheesesteak but better.

“I was in the area and wanted something kind of healthy, so I decided to order two tacos — one pescado a la plancha and one camarón a la plancha. I was a little bummed they messed up my order and gave me two pescado instead, but honestly, they were really good! I’m pretty picky when it comes to fish, but it had great flavor and wasn’t fishy at all. The salsas and chips were tasty too!

I also tried their jugo verde — I love green juice, but not everyone makes it how I like it. This place actually makes a really good one!

And staff were great too. Not mad at all but sad. I didn’t got to try the Camaron.“

“Great food, great service!“

“chilaquiles can carne asada were very good. Good portion, good price awesome service“

“Honestly this is one of the best places I’ve ever tried, recommended 100% definitely try the carnitas and the tortas they’re my favorite! The crepes they have are so good too! I recommend the Nutella Banana one, it’s just so good.“

“Muy sabroso y limpio lugar“

“Excellent Quality of Food. High quality meat, Really Hot and that is good, no one wants cold food. I got the California Burrito and it was really really good. I have gotten it in many different places but this one is definitely top 1 in my opinion.“

“As a native San Diegan that drives all over the county for work, I'm always on the hunt for something new and fresh. Although we have many Mexican Food places, its refreshing to find one that is great at everything. We all have the one we go to for Taco, soup, burritos and such but its wonderful to find a place with great prices and great everything.“

“delicious food. was my 1st time there. got a carnitas burrito. 5 stars. I recommend“

“el sabor,y los condimentos, todo muy rico“

“El mata hambre me gusto mucho. Los visitaremos en nuestra próxima visita a San Diego.“

“Our go to spot for authentic delicious Mexican cuisine. Birria tacos and caldos always hit it the spot. Don’t get me started on the Raspados. Stop by give a shout to long time chef Alfredo & the Raspado mixologist Daniel“

“Best ever.. 20 years ago Clayton’s was the best and still the best.. flavor, portion size, hands down 10 out of 10“

“The breakfast tortas are SO GOOD. The bread was perfectly crispy, and the ingredients were so fresh and delicious. Our waitress was very helpful and made some recommendations after I had worries about the slice levels due to my acid reflex.“

“Carne asada fries were great I was suprised by the large portion. At first I was suprised with price when I ordered them with guacamole Pico de gallo and sour cream and a soda but to be honest this is enough in one serving for 2 people so its definitely fair price“

“Their adobada tacos are super cheap and absolutely to die for, and their adobada fries come as a huge portion - definitely recommend if you like adobada. Their adobada also has cinnamon in it, so if you're a fan of adobada that's cinnamon-y, 100% recommend trying this place.“
