El Borrego Restaurant, San Diego, California Restaurant Details

Food:

Favorite home-style, authentic Mexican! Very warm and inviting. Love the Huevos Rancheros, Lamb especial, rolled tacos, flan. They even have craft beer, fresh made carrot juice and OJ!

Food:

One of my favourite Mexican places in San Diego. Their mole is simply superb.

Food:

Very friendly atmosphere. Was welcomed as soon as we walked in and the waitress was very helpful. I ordered the chicken enchiladas in green sauce and a cochinita pibil taco and both were really great and full in flavors! Was very satisfied with my food and also was my husband. We both reacommend it.

Food:

El Borrego is supposed to be mexican food prepared in a traditional way vs the normal fast food experience. I like it but it is considerable more expensive. I will visit more often as finances permit. I have a small issue with consistency. Sometimes I am really wow'ed by the meal and other times it is just Ok verses excellent. I want the same wow experience ever time ideally with ever item that I order. But I can live with it as it is and plan to return again soon. Also, atmosphere feels cozy, warm and caring.

Food:

Simple looking place. Simple layout, looks like it is a fast food place! Order at the counter and then they bring it to your table. Nice. The menu is painted on the wall, and I suggest you love lamb if you come here. It is the specialty of the house. It is oh so tender and tasty. The salsa comes in two flavors and warm and hotter. I liked them both and found the warm to be excellent and the hot was a bit hotter than I wanted. The hand made tortillas were excellent and were gobbled up promptly.
The dessert flan was excellent and greatly appreciated! All in all my cousin who is a local, now tells me that this a new favorite of hers! Were were all pleased and stuffed! Coming back soon, I hope!
oh yes, be patient, food is prepared in small batches and is oh so fresh and wonderful.
