24 Best Mexican Restaurants in Spring Valley

“Super Deliciosa toda la comida. Muy buen servicio y la atención que dan es excelente. Definitivamente deja abajó a otros restaurantes de barbacoa a los que he ido. Lo mejor de todo es que te cocinan todo fresco le doy un 💯 Y las costillas en jalea de mango está para chuparse los dedos.“

“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!!!!“

“delicious. absolute SD staple“

“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.“

“First time here and it won’t be the last! The food here is more restaurant quality. Big portions good prices and everything I tried has been delicious. Don’t miss the Happy Hour they have every day from 2-8pm. Michalada is highly recommended!

Update: shrimp diablo burrito is my new favorite.“

“We've used them twice now, first time was for the 4th of July and second was for my husbands holiday party. The tacos are consistently good, love the tortillas & the salsa is BOMB! It's HOT but it's BOMB! Maria is so nice and easy to work with, we cannot wait to use them again!“

“Great spot for Mexican food“

“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.“

“Grew up down the street from this place in the early/mid 90s and it was my family's favorite spot. I still stop here every time im in town and it's still as excellent as it's always been and hasn't lost an ounce of its spark - the food is excellent and has always been consistent.“

“My husband and I got their fruit salad they're very well portioned and fresh. The pollo en mole and costillas are really good it tasted homemade. I didn't get a chance to take pictures of those we just started eating right away, I just wish they had handmade tortillas that would make this place so much better. We're definitely coming back to try the rest“

“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.“

“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!“

“Love the food“

“I love coming here because everything is always so awesome and the service Is always on point. Even better the owner takes time to know her customers and besides getting something delicious to eat or drink I guarantee that u will leave with a smile. . The best addition to the plaza for sure...“

“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.“

“I came here for lunch, the picture of the tacos looked bomb. Unfortunately the taco lady wasn’t there. Dillon who took my order was super helpful in recommending the torta he let me sample Panela cheese to see if I would like it, I got the vegetarian torta and was not disappointed. Dillon was nice enough to offfer me a sample of the strawberries con crema says his mom makes the cream fresh every morning. They were delicious but I opted for the fruit salad instead. It came with papaya, cantaloupe, honeydew melon,mango strawberries apples cottage cheese granola and honey. Everything was fresh and crisp the friendly service got me to stay, even though there is no restroom for customers, something g to consider if you’re a person who is looking for a lunch break and need a bathroom to relive yourself and wash your hands.“

“The food is good. But if you just walk in and order ? Be prepared to waite about 20 minutes for a couple Burritos. a lot of people call in these big orders, so you sit there and watch people walk in and pick up 4 bags of food ahead of you.“

“We did to-go but the food was still very good. I was so glad to find a vegan restaurant since I recently moved here & it had been at least 3yrs. Loved the simple & pleasant atmosphere & the employees were very patient. Definitely go back“

“I grabbed dinner for me an my wife a few times. It's slightly pricey but I still think the burritos are maybe the best in town. We've tried them all. Definitely good eats. Also the gal behind the window is very kind. Overall worth the money. We'll be back again for sure.“

“Amazing experience every time. Review is long overdue!

Adobada, fish, and shrimp tacos are amazing! They have a Taco Tuesday deal where it's 2 for $4-5 for adobada tacos, and the fish / shrimp tacos were $1.75-$2.25

The quality + size of these tacos in this economy help me keep going at my job. I try to come as often as I can. I look forward to this every week. Highly recommended! Amazing salsa, pickled onions, single cup of soup, and beans are complimentary.

The taco chef and owner are incredibly kind and hospitable even though my husband and I don't speak Spanish. They're always patient and considerate with us as well.

Great atmosphere. They're always working on expanding their outdoor amenities. Even though it's a food truck, there are tables and shade to eat at! And TVs for entertainment!“

“Some of the best tacos I've ever had. It's a bit poorly lit though. The woman at the counter in the afternoon can't control her face, she didn't smile at all either. Still, the food was amazing and they got my order right. Better than the other three mexican places on the same street.“

“I WAS GOING TO RAMBERTOS IN LATER 80s. WHEN IT STARTED AS A CONVERTED BURGER PLACE AT THE CORNER OF SWEETWATER AND ST. GEORGE IN FRONT OF VONS AROUND WHERE CHICKEN PLACE IS. THE TORTAS AND BURRITOS RULED. THEIR TORTAS ARE WHAT I COMPARE ALL TORTAS TO.“
