44 Best Mexican Restaurants in Vista

“Best carne asada burrito I have ever had! Very consistent, generous size, and truly mouthwatering. At least once or twice a week we pickup from here. My wife loves the shrimp diabla. Since she's not a big eater, it's 2 meals for her. She gets it every time, so must be good 😁“

“We came with the whole family (7 of us) from San Diego & Murrieta because based on its menu Los Cabos in Vista offered all the types of seafood (raw oysters, whole fish with head and tail, shrimp, octopus). Everything including the tacos we ordered was so finger-licking good!!! Compliments to the chefs! And best of all was the service from Beyonce & Karina - quick, helpful, friendly!!! Our only suggestion would be to please add oxtail to the menu!!! Gracias a todos.“

“Best food I’ve had in years! So glad you’re here in Temecula, can’t wait to go back!!“

“Great mexican food! I love their Quesobirria🤤“

“No sabes a donde ir a comer?, ve ahí y no te arrepentirás.“

“Mimosas, shot del patron,cazuelas mazapan lover,unas cuantas de las tantas bebidas que ofrece el restaurant vamos a texcoco en vista ca, riquisima comida, bebidas y ni que decir de la atencion, una chulada“

“Don’t let the location sway you! It’s inside the Chevron gas station. Tried the Birria taco, steak quesadilla and chicken taquitos. All were so good! Their habanero sauce was pretty bomb too. If you love rolled tacos, definitely try this place out!“

“This quaint little 'diamond in the rough' find, is by far my favorite place for Mexican food, in the area...they score a well deserved 5 stars in every area. Fantastic food, always fresh and made w love...awesome atmosphere is relaxing if you choose to dine in and the cleanliness is above and beyond and the customer service is always with a smile. Drive thru service available just like all the others, but what makes this little place stand out is the kindness and quality!!“

“The food is excellent! Wanted to order more just because it was good although I was full. Best tasting food I've had in a long time. Very small place, but they've done ok with the space they have and it is well taken care of. Can't wait to go back. Food was too good to worry about taking pictures.“

“I’m so glad I stumbled on this little Mexican spot! First good meal I’ve had in a while. 🥰 Super welcoming people and the food was very flavorful— the chicken burrito was delicious. Love the relaxed, family-run vibe, with the cook singing in the kitchen and everyone seeming happy. 😊 Including the little adorable kid hanging out with his grandma and making goofy faces with me. Very kind and hospitable server girl and comfy seating. A place that makes you feel at home. 💕“

“I would give a 4.5 if I could, but can’t give a 5 because the blacked mahi was a bit over-seasoned, making it a bit too salty.
Portions were awesome, food and toppings were fresh. Probably the best Rubio’s we’ve had except for the mahi seasoning.
The temp in the store was a bit cool, and it was one of these very warm (80) days in the area.“

“Best Churros I have eaten. Made fresh when you order it. Has custard filling on the inside. They don't do a good job advertising or promoting it. My grandson loves their burritos - reasonable price and large enough portion to satisfy him. Friendly staff and chef.“

“Great place, highly recommended. We had the machaca plate, love the green sauce at the salsa bar. Delicious!!“

“I love El pollo loco on vista ca: they have a big menue, and the employees are so nice, also serviceable, my order it was so quickly, and fresh.“

“Hoy comí Mole de pollo y las tortilla’s hechas de allí muy rico. Si gusta pasen a comer tienen variedades de comida a estilo Chavelita y sus aguas fresca de frutas naturales.“

“Nice place to eat Friendly“

“This is the place!! Everything we ordered for take out was Top Quality. Best breakfast burritos hands down! The rolled tacos were amazing as well. Great value and portion size all made with very fresh ingredients. The salsa bar is fantastic! Will be back for sure!!“

“Fast, friendly, and delicious! It’s not that hard, really, or at least I don’t think it should be. Erika’s has this down on lock. Been driving by this place for years and finally went in today. Ordered a Machaca breakfast burrito. Must try! Growing up in a Mexican household, the salsas make or break my experience at a local spot like this one. Both the red and green salsas here made Erika’s earn a spot on my list of go-to’s. Will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu, especially the menudo.“

“What else can you say but authentic and great taste. The magic sauce once you put in or on your food is amazing. Friendly service and family oriented. Thanks again!!“

“I’ve come here half a dozen times and the food is always incredible! My order had a small mistake once but they fixed it completely and quickly, I was very happy.

The food is made fast and the service is excellent- I’d highly recommend!“

“The al pastor tacos are the best I’ve tried in the area. The grilled flavor and the perfect crisp on the meat—without being burnt—are amazing. They’re absolutely perfect! I’ll definitely be coming back for more tacos at this place.“

“tortillasrecien hechas a mano en todos los tacos“

“Mannn i've tried a lot of different marisco (seafood) places and this place is leagues and bounds above the places i've been to even compared to the great places in Mexico!

The service is better than most restaurants. The gentlemen here are very attentive, kind, informative, and treat you like family.

This place is a hidden gem and well worth the visit. I live in LA and i still go out of my way to eat here.

I would give this place 10 stars if i could!
Absolutely fire 🔥“

“family oriented and friendly. good fresh food.“

“muy rico todo, excelente servicio..“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Surf & Turf Fries is an absolute must-try! This dish is a genius fusion of Mexican flavors with a hearty American twist, and it completely blew me away.

The portion was huge, making it great for sharing (or not—no judgment here!).

What really stood out was the freshness and quality of the ingredients. The shrimp tasted buttery and well-seasoned, every element worked together in harmony, creating a mouthwatering experience I’ll definitely be coming back for.“

“Muy lindo el ambiente. Me gustô estar ahí. Espero volver...“

“This is a great restaurant, great food and great entertainment. Highly recommended for a relax time and good food.“

“This will always be a go to spot for me and my family! Can’t ever go wrong with the carne Asada fries and the California burrito! Loved the quality of the food and the proportions were more than enough to satisfy our hunger and our tastebuds!! Don’t miss out on this local gem!“

“Recomendado buen servicio mariscos frescos 💯💯“

“love this place.....“

“This place has amazing food—everything I’ve tried has been incredible. It truly feels like a home-cooked meal from a grandma’s kitchen. You have to come try it! They serve pozole, tamales, birria, caldo de res, and caldo de pollo. The homemade tortillas are unreal, especially with their bomb salsa. Don’t miss the champurrado—it’s one of the best I’ve ever had. They also have choco flan and other delicious desserts. Highly recommend!“

“Love their Food!“

“Okay… I’ve eaten here many times and the gorditas are phenomenal!! My go to is the papa con chorizo and bean and cheese. They are stuffed when I dine in…. I ordered some to go the other day and was so disappointed… more masa than filling! … just asking to please serve the same quality when ppl are getting take out :)“

“My local go to preference. Hole in the wall.

Top notch items: Chimichanga, quesadilla, BRC, carne asada fries. Good hot sauces.

Super fast, super authentic so-cal stuff. Higher quality than chain mexican food albertacos around the corner.

Edit: I made this review a decade ago, when their burritos were $6-$7. Today, they’re $12-$14. That’s twice as expensive; same burrito.

Just as delicious and quality for Mexican fast food.“

“Amazing, true al pastor tacos. 8 aguas frescas varieties freshly made each day, amazing roasted onions and pepper side plates if you ask nicely, etc. If you’re looking for good farmland-style Mexican food, look no further. If you don’t love guacamole, make sure to have them go light on it - for some reason they scoop guacamole on everything and that’s my one complaint. It’s not bad, but it’s just too heavy-handed by default

Also, don’t go here if you’re trying to eat some soy nonsense. Go eat a salad or something; this is real food - expecting it to be good at hyper-processed vegan ingredients is setting yourself up for a bad experience.

Frida’s also has a lovely patio and nice clean interior seating area.“

“I really loved the food and the service is amazing from all employees and the one that helped me out during my visit I believe his name is Manny or Emmanuel not sure but thanks for your help and great attitude im sure to refer my friends and family“

“7/8/2022 I’m from Texas and no doubt I always come back when I’m in Town DELOCIOSO“

“BOMB ASS COKTAILS NICE AND ALITTLE BIT SPICY MY SON , WIFE AND I SATISFIED“

“Ok so I couldnt take pics because we ate everything so fast. But the food here is amazing. Seems like they are always open. And the quality is always good no matter what time I stop in. Promise. Its a hole in the wall that everyone will enjoy“

“We were able to book them for an at home party. Highly professional, set up quickly and the crowd loved the food. Everyone was wonderful. Hire them for your catering needs! Food is incredible! 5 stars!!“

“I was just looking for a wings place, I did not expect such a varied menu. I ordered the carne asada fries, the chipotle fries, buffalo wings, and a carnitas quesadilla. Everybody loved their food!

I had the quesadilla and this may be my second favorite carnitas. Well seasoned, soft, and not oily. I also had some of the chipotle fries. Everybody was right, they were amazing.

It's criminal that there wasn't a line out the door. The prices were reasonable and service was very quick. We definitely will be visiting again.“

“This place actually has the best burritos I've had in my my area. And it took me a little longer because I did it in-between bites. This is the first burrito in my 32 years that I haven't need any amount of salsa, even though I also love their salsa. Also their pizza is fire“
