“The fact that you go to a restaurant and order lemonade and get freshly made natural from lemons 😱 means a lot to me. Which is very rare at restaurants in the USA. Been here 4 times and Joel has always been very attentive. Food is great, I highly recommend the aguachiles. The negro or verde are finger licking good! Good job guys!!!!“

“Been coming here since I was a kid vs Saritas. Saritas is good, sure but these guys cook like they like you personally and want you to enjoy your meal 🤣. I just know when I order my foods gonna be so delicious like, granted I usually order California burrito or fries/ nachos. And rolled tacos. I would just ask y'all to add some garlic and a bit more salt to the guacamole. Also I've ordered a breakfast burrito, they're loaded up with protein and soo good.“

“I personally go there for the Pico de Gallo Frutas. So fresh and so good!!!
My husband and daughter shared a Turkey and Ham sandwich and a Supreme Carnitas Quesadilla. They all loved it!

I also love their frijoles and tortillas too!

Their Agua Frescas is wonderful, light but filling! Sandia and Mango are our favorites .

My normal is to have cut up fruit and Limon with Pico de Gallo. I love it!!!

My daughter gave me her cut up fruit too because I plowed through half in zero flat!

(Oh yeah, we keep coming back!)“

“Four stars.

I ordered a bean and cheese burrito with French fries and dined in. The total was $9.15. Overall, I wasn’t very impressed.

The burrito was on the smaller side, and the filling-to-tortilla ratio could have been better. There was more tortilla than I would have liked, and the tortilla itself was a little overcooked. The hot sauce was okay flavor-wise, but it was very watery.

It wasn’t a bad meal, but it also wasn’t one that stood out or made me want to come back. For the price, I was expecting a little more in terms of portion and overall quality.“

“HUGE burritos. Cali comes with a ton of fries, I would ask them to go easy on the fries when ordering. Lady is super nice. Got my burrito in 5min. Definitely will try this place again

To the comments saying it’s expensive, majority of taco shops are raising their prices due to rent costs. Restaurants are closing every day cause they can’t keep up with rent. Give them a break.“

“I have been coming to this restaurant for over 25 years. They have the best shrimp burrito I have ever had. After joining the military I would seek out a better shrimp burrito and never found one. Now that I live 500 miles away, I have made it a tradition to come and have a shrimp burrito at this location. It never disappoints, the best, same delicious recipe. Great family that runs it.“

“A surprisingly pleasant experience. This was a Sunday night around 8:45 pm. First time here and ordered the basic SD local order of carne asada fries. I ordered in, instead of to-go and it was a quiet and relaxed atmosphere. Service was prompt and friendly. Ranchera music playing in the background and a few other patrons enjoying their meals. They clearly take the proper time and care to cook their meat because my asada came out incredibly juicy! My fries were perfectly cooked, not a single one undercooked. Their salsas are fantastic, with a good amount of heat with each flavor. Prices are about the average for San Diego, and well worth the price! I intend to come back and try out more of the menu.“

“If you are looking for authentic, flavor-packed Sinaloan-style food, this is the absolute best spot in La Presa.
The seafood is incredibly fresh, perfectly seasoned, and served in generous portions. Everything from the aguachiles to the tacos is bursting with traditional flavor. The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, making it a fantastic place to sit down and enjoy a great meal with family.
On top of the amazing food, the service is outstanding—the staff is attentive, friendly, and makes you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
I highly recommend El Sinaloense to anyone looking for a top-tier dining experience. I will definitely be coming back!“

Overall a really good experience and I’ll for sure be coming back.“

“stars. The area and building are definitely a little rough around the edges and old school, but honestly the food surprised me in a good way. The portions were huge, everything tasted fresh, and the prices were solid for what you get. Not the fanciest spot, but if you care more about good food and big portions than appearance, it’s worth stopping by. I’d definitely come back.“

“Best fish tacos around.. definitely better than Rubio's or any other taco shops near by.. We already loved their food but we ended up not getting the tacos we bought for taco Tuesday made correctly... I ended up on the phone with Miguel who immediately offered to remake them as I explained my son's allergies with tomatoes.. I let him know we had taken an Uber down to them so it would have to be later.. he offered to bring them to us.. that was beyond kind of him and by far surpasses any other customer service I have ever received.. I will be bragging about them to everyone lol! Thank you so much for caring enough to make sure we received the tacos for tonight's dinner!“

They had a DJ that had really good music and then they had karaoke but it was so loud you couldn't talk to the person across from you. Every time we needed something from the waitress we had to wave her down to come to the table. She was very nice but service was not so good.“
