Just wonderful eating 😘
Must have the fish tacos. They truly are.. well they're primo! The best must balanced tasteful sauce and home made tortillas. Really they make them right there in front of you.
Loved my time here as well. Not loud or hot...

“Family breakfast to celebrate granddaughter's first birthday. The chilaquiles are what they are known for and are always good! I had the Machaca Sonora and it was really good, different from the typical stewed meat type usually encountered. The biggest hit was a simple corn tamale obviously made in house, perfectly fluffy and delicious.“

“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.“

“Outstanding service and food. The Juevos Rancheros with rice and beans were well portioned and delicious. The young lady serving us was helpful and attentive. New favorite!“

“What a fantastic discovery in San Diego. Everything we ordered was prepared perfectly and tasted incredibly fresh.

The tacos were packed with flavor, and I especially loved the generous amount of cilantro and onions on top. It is rare to find a place that puts this much care into their presentation.

We also really enjoyed the iced coffee. It was the perfect refreshing finish to a great meal. We will definitely be back soon.“

“A "can't - miss" with incredible flavors, as always, and excellent service from Tom with helpful suggestions and attentiveness without being intrusive. Tom's the consumate server. We enjoyed the quacamole, and entrees including Papas Dulce and Tuscon chimichanga with braised short rib. Both outstanding, and highly recommend "pairing" these two and splitting with your someone special. Second visit after 1 and 1/2 years and quality remains extremely high.“

“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 ♥️🙏“

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

“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.“

I had the California club on wheat, my friend got a wrap and we grabbed chips and sodas. The sandwiches were huge! So full of thinly sliced meats and fresh veggies. All tables were taken so wandered down to park bench in the shade. The sandwiches will definitely bring me back! Service was fast and friendly. Highly recommend.“

“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, hands down the best taco shop in the area and I make the drive from Eastlake to come here.

I ordered the surf and turf and added adobada. Super good! They use black tiger the shrimp for shrimp and if you know about shrimps that’s the best you can get !

10/10 recommend“

“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“

“La Sinaloense is a family owned restaurant that serves authentic cuisine from the Sinaloa region of Mexico.

I ordered the tostada del viejon for dinner. The presentation was stunning. It was a really great dish, it looked as good as it tasted. The dish was made up of the freshest ingredients and had lots of flavor.

I also had the jamaica. It was good. It was a nice complement to the meal.

A great place for really good, authentic Sinaloan food. This was done very well.“

“I wanted to try this spot but now I am worried if I take my wife and kids to this restaurant they could be assaulted in the bathroom by te owner and the staff will stand and smile. Plus multiple reports of failing food safety, yikes.“

“Wow, the Taco Tuesday tacos here are amazing! I originally ordered for my wife and myself, but they were so good we had to get more to take home. The chicken is seasoned and marinated to perfection, and my wife absolutely loved the birria and carne asada. On top of the great food, the cashier was incredibly polite and welcoming. We’ll definitely be back!“
