We’ve been coming for years and the food/service is always amazing. The flavors are delicious and the atmosphere both indoors and outdoors in their patio really give an authentic Mexican feel. View menu

Excellent customer service. Very delicious authentic Mexican food. Nopales salad, enciladas and squash blossom zuccini are personal faves. Plus they have the best homemade guacamole and fresh horchata in San Diego County

Had the mixiote de borrego. The taste is legit. It reminded me of those days growing up in Mexico going to the mercado sobre ruedas. Give them a try. If you order mixiote, remember to shred the meat with the fork before making a taco. Good eats!

My neighborhood favorite. The breakfast especially is delicious and all the food is definitively authentic. You can eat your whole plate until you're full and regardless, will not feel heavy. Gluten free options galore. Celiac safe celiac friendly. View menu

Very delicious food. If you're vegetarian or vegan, they'll accommodate, but you gotta ask for it. The price is reasonable. Very delicious. The hot sauce is quite spicy compared to other Mexican restaurants I've been to, but I love it! To me, it's a plus!They have a patio in the back too and it was nice especially if it's warm enough. I'd definitely recommend this place.

One of my personal favorites is the Green Pozole, which is quite rare in San Diego, especially given the popularity of red pozole in the area. The Green Pozole at El Borrego showcases succulent pork and crispy pork rinds in a fragrant broth that is much lighter compared to the robust flavors of red pozole. Another dish I adore is the Huitlacoche Quesadilla, which has a delightful earthy taste that pairs perfectly with El Borrego’s habanero pickled onions. This is another unique offering that you won't typically find in most Mexican restaurants around San Diego. If you're hesitating about visiting El Borrego, stop second-guessing and just go! It will be hard to find better Mexican food an...

El Borrego is one of the very best Mexican restaurants you 'll ever eat at. Their 'Lamb Mixiote ' is a braised meat lover 's dream of soft, melty lamb swimming in lamb juices, broken down collagen, and Aztec Mexican seasoning. A lot of time and love go into preparing this dish, and it is a superb stand out on a lamb oriented menu that would be fantastic even without it. One of my favorites on that menu is the Green Pozole, a somewhat rare dish in San Diego, despite the popularity of red pozole around this area. The Green Pozole at El Borrego features both succulent pork meat and pork rinds in a fragrant broth that is a lot less overbearing than the red broths in red pozole. Another favorite... View menu
