El Pariente San Diego

Really good, locally owned casual Mexican. Has a beer license. The breakfast machaca burro is one off the best I’ve ever had.

We were walking by and saw this place. Had never heard of a mulita but we took the hostess’s advice and ordered a cochino mulita and one each of the tacos. So delicious, juicy, and flavorful. She was so helpful in explaining to us the menu and offerings. The salsas were spicy and hit the spot. Would go again

I went here after work with my friend. The staff greeted us as soon as we walked in. They were so friendly. The service was excellent. They were very attentive. Clean and the atmosphere was very relaxing helped us enjoy our meal. The food was delicious. We got the medium carne asada fries. The meat was cut in little pieces so it was cooked better like I like it. Large portions. Clean restrooms. They have a small bar off to side. Wonderful!!! My new favorite spot.

I loved it here. I honestly dont know what that other person was complaining about. But the food was great. Tortillas were delicious. Salsa on point. The service was amazing! The girl was very polite and attentive. I loved the flavor of the carne Asada. Its cooked on an actual charcoal grill. You can definitely taste it! Feels like you're eating at a get together at the park. I'm definitely going back! Highly recommend this place. I was told they will soon serve beer.

I expected a spot with high reviews to be full during a weekday lunch hour, but this place was dead. There was a single person there when I arrived. I stood at the register waiting to order for 3-4 minutes, the person seemed to be on a tablet, wasn't sure if she was busy or playing games. The cook noticed me from the kitchen and said hello, the person out front looked over and came to take my order. Prices in pictures were outdated, but $12 for a burrito seems common now. I ordered the adobada burrito. The taste was rather plain, but had an artificial sweet taste to the meat. The burrito was a decent size but had little meat and lots of pico with some guacamole. I might try another food item some time, in case this was a one off.
