I just ate the BEST street tacos I’ve ever had. Large portions of meat carved up then placed in fresh tortillas that were made by hand while I watched. And a choice of a great, actually hot, “hot” sauce. All at an amazing bargain price. Highly recommend that you seek this place out Saturdays from 3:00 until closing.

Legit street tacos. Handmade tortillas to order for each taco.
Al pastor 'al trompo' and all sorts of goodness.

Have been 4 or 5 times now, still surprised at the consistent quality in whatever we order. You will not be disappointed!

Had a nice little breakfast sandwich and coffee. Five Star Service by John the cashier. He was pleasant, more than helpful, and welcoming. I’m going back tomorrow to Thank John and to order the Mexican sweet coffee.Clara

Opted for Fidel’s because it was within walking distance of where we were staying. For 3 of us: dinner plates (plus 1 Margarita) & tip was just over $100. Being from Northern CA, we knew eating out anywhere in this region was going to be costly. BUT, we were blown away by the flavor and cook of our meals. My husband had Chile Verde; done in a way we’ve never seen before - so delicious and fresh. Also had the carnitas; came in large chunks of meat with sliced onion and cilantro - perfect. Awesome flour tortillas. Our Server and all other Staff were extremely friendly and food was served rather quickly (we went for a “late” dinner at about 7:30pm).
John's Market on the corner of Valley & Vera in Eden Gardens, Solana Beach is our #1 go to now! They have a grocery store of fresh fruits, vegetables, pan rolls, fresh made tortillas, meats, fresh homemade chorizo with NO PRESERVATIVES, eggs, Mexican spices, creams and so much more! This is a new establishment opening in 2022. As another reviewer stated, skip Gelson's, Von's or Sprouts and give this traditional place a try. This is a family business. Mom, sister and brother John all work here and they are so nice and happy to help you. They also serve breakfast and lunch 7 days a week. Saturday mornings they make fresh carnitas starting at 4am. They start selling it at 7am and it's sold out by noon! We ordered the shrimp and the breakfast burrito today and we were so happy we did. My BF told me this was the best burrito he has ever eaten. Not only that, we both only ate half because it's so big! We now have another meal. We will no longer be frequenting Mexico Viejo. This grocery store and restaurant will be getting our business moving forward! Give them a try!

What a gem! Nice little market with delicious eats for breakfast and lunch. The folks who run the shop are incredibly nice.

The food in the location is excellent. I recommend the Cadillac. Margarita! We are lucky they had a fantastic mariachi band playing live.

Large portions. Love the salsa! Super cute place. Love the ambiance! The service was impeccable! Jose Luis and the whole team took such great care of us. We were there around 5pm on a Sunday. No waiting. We sat inside. I think we had at least five different people stop by our table - to drop off chips and salsa + water; to take our order; to drop off our food; to pick up our plates; to refill our drinks. I had the nopales with chicken. It was okay. We don't live in the area and might try somewhere else next time.

This place is my go to market for anything I need mid week. They have quality produce, amazing tortillas, and every flavor of Jarritos. Skip Sprouts. Definitely skip Vons. Come to John's.My kid introduced me to this small shop. He would go here for burritos (attached to the grocery store) after hanging out in La Colonia park. If you live anywhere near, you are missing out if you haven't visited.Did I mentioned the owners are super nice too.
